Society & Culture - 31 October 2007

Tonight I"m going to play with my ouija board (with it being Halloween) because it"s supposed to be the night when they can be most likely contacted.

I got the board a couple of years ago to experiment to see if anything happened, and it didnt then. It"s in a cupboard and i only tried it the once, never been used since. Tonight i will use it and i bet nothing will happen again.

Who says nothing will (myself included in that), and who thinks it will work?

It is not the true day of Christ's birth (it actually coincides with the pagan winter solstice) and its all about "stuff".

If you disagree...what DOES make it a religious holiday?

Yeahm everything there reminds me to him. There is a woman in my math class that sits next to me that speaks exactly like him and her hair color is like his, when I hear her tallk I can do nothing but to hide in the back of my book and laugh of fear because I think that she might be possessed by him.
And there is a man that always dress up like a Texas ranger and uses all that stuff, he's so cool!

In the morning when you go to the caffeteria you can feel Chuck Norris' presence because everybody is quiet and there is a fried odor.

Everyday I find someone else new that looks like Norris, it is like a new evolution or something!

does the same happen at your job or school?

Do you think that American Religions were successful ot unsuccessful in incorporating aspects of Scientific Modernism into thier their religious beliefs? Was having an argument with a fellow co-worker and wanted others opinions.

A radio station and a major grocery store chain in my area are switching over to all Christmas music tomorrow. If there's a spike in homicides, it was me.

Seriously, it makes me long for the days when I was a Christian and the Christmas season started on the first Sunday in Advent.

Any places in your area starting Christmas on November 1st?

While they are allowed to do so in the Orthodox Catholic churches? Why also are the priests not allowed to marry in the Roman Catholic Church but they are allowed to be married until they reach becoming a monk in the Orthodox Catholic churches? And also out of curiosity are there any women preachers such as priests, deacons, bishops,pastors, or ministers in any sect or denomination of Christianity? Thanks in advance. All questions are asked out of curiosity.

Blasphemous? Or merely a lame attempt to stir up controversy by copying something that worked for Madonna years ago?

This rule that Churchs made up actually stops a lot of people from attending because they don't have the proper attire.

What do you think?
I know we are here to learn lessons, and of our own choosing (from the otherside). So do you think it is wrong or against the rules for people to look into their past lives or even into their future?

Most churches I have been to will "bow in prayer", but why? I've been to some churches (can't remember the denomination) where most people looked up to the sky while praying. Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

Thanks.

I've given this some thought, and my intention is not to irritate any fellow christians (though I know I occassionally do that). When I read the first 11 chapters of Genesis it reads like allegory to me.

Tree of Life
Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Sword of Fire
Talking Serpent

The Flood

Now, it is my belief that there was a "flood" of some sort because there is a flood account in a lot of ancient literature, but the Ark itself...hmmm.

Tower of Babel

Is there anything wrong with interpreting poetic allegory like poetic allegory? I don't usually spend a lot of time worrying about Genesis or Revelation for that matter, but I was wondering does the beginning of Genesis have to be interpreted literally for you?

Yes, I know there are many here that think the Bible is (fill in your explitive). I'm mainly asking those that don't feel that way.

Can God still exist for you if the begining of Genesis is allegorical?

Such as "Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you." I think this is an overall good notion.

I still don't believe in God.

Does this make me a good Athiest or am I still a selfish person?

They claim to be Christians but they have all these other gods, are they the same?

Or do JWs believe that Mormon gods are false gods and Mormons belive that JWs' gods are false etc.
