Society & Culture - 29 October 2007

Living in an area where most people are Christian, I find myself keeping my mouth shut a lot of times when I'd much rather say exactly what I think. (I am the type of person that always says what I think, unless I think it is disrespectful or hurtful).

When it comes to my fiance and my future in-laws especially, I find that it is most often ME that has to bite my tongue about my beliefs, rather than THEM.

Why is it perfectly okay for them ramble on forever about God and the devil, yet they can't handle even one sentence about atheism from me?

I ask because within the LDS church VT stands for Visiting Teacher, or Visiting Teaching, which I seriously doubt is what it means here. Just curious.

what would happen?

Would it cleanse the place of sin and evil?

Has anyone ever done this by pouring water in a heavily sinful place like a bar, house of ill repute, or a home, and what happened?

I have a contact whose Yahoo! keeps getting hacked. The first time, he was seeing questions and answers posted that he didn't do, and the hacker changed his password. On his second account, they deleted all of his questions and answers. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Someone on questions, and answers stated that Sin Is a Christian concept?. How do other faiths conceptionalise Sin?.

It has to be something of value, and courage, not just partying or something silly and unthinkable. Think hard before you answer.

I am surrounded by people who believe that the only threat to them is an Islamic terrorist. They spread that e-mail around, called "History Lesson", that implies that ALL terrorist attacks are done by that religion.

I know this can't be true. Just thinking about it, I can't think that the IRA, Timothy McVeigh, PETA, and those people who blow up abortion clinics are Muslim. Does anyone know where I can gather a list of non-Muslim terrorist attacks? If not, can you tell me ones you know so I can start making my own list?

I'm trying to fight the group-mentality I'm surrounded by and start having people look for solutions, instead of just hiding under their hatred.

To be excommunicated?

Questions:

1. What horrific act would I have to commit?

2. What verses of the Bible deal with excommunication?

3. Do only Catholics excommunicate? I'm not a Catholic :-(

4. Once I have been excommunicated, what will happen to me?

5. Will I go to hell if I have been excommunicated?

Thanks!

I don't believe in God(s) yet I can't prove there's none. Religions makes me mad lol cause I rather think for myself. I'm not sure if evolution, creationism or any other of these theories applies to our world.
I think we know simply nothing. Need this info for my profile.

So, ummmm, what am I?

Thanks.

Century 6, Quatrain 97:
At forty-five degrees the sky will burn,
Fire to approach the great new city:
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up,
When one will want to demand proof of the Normans.

ok, i am catholic, born and raised! ;but i have been away from the church for a few years. i am 25 with a child of my own now and i think it is important to introduce religion in his life in a formal manner. he was baptised and is now six. well lately i have been questioning the catholic church... i dont understand some of its teachings.. i was raised thinking this is the one and only true religion. my in laws are luthern and honestly some of there teachings make more sense to me. where does the catholic churches teaching originate ( the bible? because some things that are stated in scripture doesnt seem like it is practiced in the catholic church. for instance in the bible it says every man should have a wife, well why then cant preists marry.. i was taught jesus named the catholic church as his church when he asked his apostle to build his chuch and the catholic church was the church peter founded. what are differences between catholics and lutherns... does the catholics make there

according to many believers, we have purpose because god gave us purpose. but if god came before everything and everyone, and hence nobody to give him purpose, does that mean god does not have a reason for his existence? is god's existence pointless? is that why he acts in the self-destructive manner that he does?

There's this German artist guy who thinks that he is god's gift to women... I can say with certainty however, that he in fact made a deal with Satan. I need this spell to save the women who are about to fall into his trap.

Do you agree with this?
