Likewise if you are a deist do you discount that sensing God can be reduced to a neurological phenomena?

From: Scientific American MIND October 2007
Searching for God in the Brain
Researchers are unearthing the roots of religious feeling in the neural commotion that accompanies the spiritual epiphanies of nuns, Buddhists and other people of faith.

I know this question may look like in the wrong section, but it's not, because it is adressed to people of this section. Nowhere else people fight so much for "being right" and nowhere else an answer can get as many thumbs down, or as many reports.

So, what do you think when your answer got a lot of thumbs down? Was it a bad answer, or you just touched a sensitive spot?

We all know that Satan is behind the promotion of the theory of evolution. Apart from the obvious denial of God as the Creator of the universe that the theory makes, why is it so dangerous for people to be deceived by it?

I'm a Christian and don't believe in celebrating in any part of Halloween since it pretty much celebrates all things evil. Every part is rooted in pagan tradition.
But honestly.. I don't want to make a big deal about it.
My co-workers want to decorate, get dressed up and have a Halloween party on the day of. I just started working here.
So even though I stand firm on my beliefs I don't think people should impose their beliefs on others.
And I don't want to come off as self-righteous.. Which I know if I was in their position I would feel that way.. I know cuz I was in thier position years ago.

So how do I keep true to my beliefs without coming off as self-righteous?

Why is it that ignorant American's say, why don't Undocumented workers pay taxes?

They WOULD pay taxes if the Govt. would let them have a Social Security number and let them work without fear.

Instead, they can't get medical coverage, so they are forced to use your tax dollars when they need help for themselves, and their entire families. They are also forced sometimes to get free money from the Govt. and food stamps.

Sadly, you the taxpayer are going to take the Bills, and there is no end in side. As long as you keep sweeping it under the rug that there are 20 Million people here who are not documented. You don't want to do anything about it, so Pay pay pay.

Also, when you drive you car you are paying. The Govt. will not give them licenses, so they can not legally buy insurance. Add this to the figure, that you pay all that money for uninsured motorist.

How long do you want to play politics? Give them SS numbers so they do not forced to get free everything.

Don't you realize that he created you and everything around you?

He also fathered Jesus. All available proof leads to the conclusion that the FSM was Jesus's father. People who disagree do so based on faith, not proof.

Can you prove that Jesus was not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? If so, these guys will give you 1 million dollars.

Hebrews 6:4-6, warns against falling away from the faith and those who do, cannot not be brought back to repentance because they are "crucifying the Son of God all over again."




WHY?




I done this. And my mind is now depraved. Theres no good in my mind, heart, and soul. Its just like I am forced into evil. Without a speck of good in me




When I was born again I was happy and had lvoe in my heart. then I became atheist and denied God Jesus and holy ghost. And fell away for to long and my mind is depraved and my heart is full of hatred. Theres no good in me. How come I cant be born again, again?

The Atheist knows he has nothing to fear (except man's laws), and (some) Christians think they have nothing to fear but God's laws.
Could it be that the Christian is more dangerous because he thinks that God will somehow save him if he breaks man's laws, and that God will always forgive him if he breaks God's laws?
This would allow both Christians and Muslims to kill in Iraq, and expect to be forgiven and even rewarded.

Uh before you answer this please read all of it. There seems to be a bad habit of people not reading the whole article when they answer. So do me a favour and read the whole thing first huh!

Why is it every time an un-believer says they have seen a ghost you say it is the work of Satan?

But when you see a ghost that is the divine Holy spirit?

I don't get how you can justify the difference on this.
Please explain?

And something else what would God's elect be doing on earth anyway should'nt they be up in heaven on clouds playing their harps or somethin'?

I mean this with utmost respect please ignore my sarcasim.
I can't help it when I say something sometimes it comes out sarcastic it is a family trait. Please excuse me.Huh.

When children wanna express their opinion ( tell what they want or what their dreams are ) , adults will label them as " childish " or " immature " ? For example, I joined a canoeing class which allows people over 10 years old to participate. There's a 11-year-old classmate and another 30-year-old classmate. They made the same problem while canoeing. Although the 10-year-old kid was good-mannered, My coach gave many " F-word " to the 10-year-old . But he always on the 30-year-old side. He never criticizes him. It seems as if the 30-year-old is old enough in order not to be critisized for any reasons.

Any comments. Share your thoughts and experience. Thanks everybody

Shouldn't the words of Christ "What you do to the least of you, you do to me" govern our thoughts and opinions about the poor and suffering trying to make a living in the US?
