Examples:

I'm a Catholic, but I believe in the right to an abortion.

I'm Christian, but I believe in evolution.

I'm Jewish, but I eat pork.

I have heard many people of many faiths take issue with some of the basic tenets of their beliefs.

In my opinion, given the nature of religion, it should never change. As the "rock", people need to change themselves, not the religion changing to accomodate people.

If you find yourself at odds with some part of your faith, how do you deal with it?

(I don't mean sinning, because that is a fundamental part of a lot of faiths.)

since each one of you has different interpretations, who has the final authority to settle disagreements over interpretation of Scripture?

ok, so there's me, hoping for a favourable outcome in a future event

god, wherever he is, can 'hear' these thoughts in my head. but if he can 'hear' my thoughts, he must also be able to 'hear' the thoughts of millions of other people.

information overload!

anyway. assuming god has 'heard' my thoughts, my hopes for a favourable outcome in a future event, what are the options?

(i) he ignores my prayers

(ii) he acts to effect a favourable outcome

(iii) he is powerless to effect a favourable outcome

this is absolute madness, surely???

Once I went to the meeting wearing jeans because i got out of work late and didn't have time to change. Then everyone thought i didn't appreciate god or the meetings by not looking my best. Does God care that much about appearances? Isn't the heart what matters most? That's another reason why i don't go to meetings anymore

My boyfriend has a little 6 cup coffee maker. It is really annoying. So I got this brand new coffee maker for free, kind of with him in mind. Now I'm wondering if it is lame, or wierd to give it to him.

Okay, so in my life at present, I have several priorities like looking for another job, studying for an exam that I have to take in 3 months, home projects that I need to get started on to organize stuff and make my home a lil more welcoming to people, starting a second job to supplement my income, serious regular volunteering (which will also help my next job), daily physical fitness, as well as some downtime to do some art projects for fun. Now, ALL of this is important to me. So, in the 4 hours I have left in the evening after work (after dinner and settling down) as well as the 2 days of weekend, when I also wanna just Relax and do nothing, HOW in the world can I fit all these in??? It's driving me nuts. I am ending up accomplishig nothing.

Spiritualogicrealidealism.

The most happening religion sense atheistism and or christianitism.

The main dogma of spiritualogicrealidealism is the belief that we should all strive to be better at what we do.

Basicaly the religion says nothing about anything if at all possible with Triangular Logic that leads back to the point it started from as fast as possible with as few or many words as possible.

I'm all heartbroken, my wedding was yesterday. I believed that miracles were true but they aren't. I was waiting for him and he never came; nobody from here attended neither. This day was so special to me but it was ruined. I don't even know what to do with my life after this. My parents are really upset, the wedding was at 7 and we were waiting for 12 hours and nothing happened : (

For us Christians Holy Spirit or God's Spirit is necessary in our life so that we could have a life in union with Christ Jesus, but how does the Holy Spirit works in our life? Do they work like angels? How will we know that the Holy Spirit is really working with us?

Say you were cleaning your house and you found an envelope full of checks people wrote to you 25 years ago. The checks are for between $5 and $60. I'm 99% sure that legally, the people who wrote you the checks are not obligated to write you fresh checks or cash the old ones for you. But are they ethically obligated? Would you have the nerve to call or write to these people individually and ask them if they would replace the check? Or would you just shred them and move on?

I got 56 replies that I didnt get to see.

I am 19 years old pregnant and due on the 17 in 2 days with my baby boy who I will name Bryson.During the whole pregnacy I put up with an abusive 6 foot 6 28 yr old boyfriend mentally and physically.Hes brainwashed me hit punched,thrown,slapped,reckless driving,threaten to commit suicide many times, bit,intimidated me,trap me at his house, caused me to cut myself ect... Wiped his hemroid blood on me and the last thing he did which made me leave was knock me on my stomache on sept 2.I left with my car came home to get my stuff and he fought for my keys out of my hands carelessly hurting me like usual.I decided to walk out carrying 5 bags down the street during the Los Angeles heat wave.The whole month I fled from la to bakersfield back to la to bakersfield homeless, ending up in a maternity home for two weeks.The whole month been hell like living with him and his jealous mom who does witchcraft and claims to be catholic while purposley putting her pubic hairs on my soap and going through my things.I am now settled in The Bay with an my only friend whos allowing me to stay at the house.
MY PRAYER request goes for my poor child that he will come out in peace and healthy after all hes gone through with me.This is my first pregnacy and I plan to go natural without drugs because I believe if god didnt want it to hurt it wouldnt so why use man made drugs?Please pray for his father that he will get help with his psychopathy lying, and take responsibilty for his actions so stop his self pitying and denial.Pray to god he will stop blaming others living in victimville.Let god open his eyes to truth and realization.Thank you Amen

When people say "America is being run by evangelical Christians," they are usually mean that it only feels that way. But with George W. Bush in the White House, James Dobson on the airwaves, and evangelical books filling the best-seller lists, evangelicals have rarely been as prominent as they are today. And as a major new study by sociologist Michael Lindsay reveals, evangelical Christians now hold seats of influence in American government, business, culture, and higher education.

Scared?
