Society & Culture - 7 November 2007

Have you considered the fatal-flaw of your religion, whereby believing yourself to be more worthy, of God's love and favours, than the rest of human-kind who do not participate in that religion, actually makes you a participant in being the antithesis of "God" and therefore are responsible for creating "hell" on earth? Any religion that purports that being a believer makes you superior among all people, is merely a fabrication created by a distorted human failure to comprehend the Oneness that exists within us all. Being the love, has the real power to effect the shift that connects us to God. Otherwise, you are in delusion and therefore in complete isolation from being connected to the essential nature of God....your birthright.

In Genesis, when you read the story of the Tower of Babel, It tells of how all the world got together for one purpose, and God scattered us all into separate nations. Why did he do that?

"And the Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." Genesis 11:6

A quote from God's own mouth. Wouldn't that mean that we could be more powerful than God if we all worked together at it?

This guy emailed me saying we should be happy that Europeans enlaved my ancestors. He is native American btw. How much do you think this viewpoint has affect blacks, whites and relations between the two today?

Plus if created so much culture in America & influenced the mainstream so much, how could we not have been capable of civilization. Do ppl not realize that Europeans were brought out of the "Dark Ages" by the Moors?

Thats right, that means you had sex in church. But I don't mean right in the open, but in a private back room. Would that be wrong? I mean your son became the pope. I think he would be about as religious as they come. Besides, all you to do is ask for forgiveness anyway, right?

So many people are so quick to say, "the bible says this...the bible says that". but yet too ignorant....or lazy... (or both), to understand who was doing the talking, who was being talked to, who does it apply to, etc. It would seem as though they "believe" the bible when they can get it to say what they want it to say.
I say this is just no more than a fools way of lying.
And "we" know who is the father of all lies.

If He did, the why does THE BIBLE say"

2 Thessalonians 2:15 "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us."

1 Corinthians 11:2 "Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you."

Point:
Pharisees false traditions = BAD
Apostolic (i.e. Catholic) traditions = GOOD

Pharisee = BAD , Catholic = GOOD , Pharisee = BAD , Catholic = GOOD , Pharisee = BAD , Catholic = GOOD ,

Get it Fundies? Or are you going to deny the WORD OF GOD?

How many of you would watch The Golden Compass? Do you feel put off by the apparent anti-religious references in this movie, or would you just soak in the entertainment?

I got married in september. My maid of honour was less than helpfull during the planning but we had fun anyway. She never showed up as promised to my gift opening thus never gave me a present. Not even a card. I have seen her twice since my honeymoon but she has made no mention of a gift - but she has talked about how much she indulged in the open bar etc... I do not know how to mention that I feel a little sad that she has not even given us a card.
One more thing that I am upset about is that she had previously alluded to a breadmaker. Our Emcee had purchased one for us long before the big day but returned it when he saw that it had been duplicated on the registry. He spent the day before our wedding searching for another gift - we really love to make bread and he is a pretty thoughtful guy. We have not received a breadmaker and wonder why my MOH is doing this?
what should I do?

the number of posters who have appeared, saying deragatory things about Catholics in the form of a question, and then blocking us so we cannot answer? Tyler appears to be the lead one right now. What do you think about that?

I have received yet another violation of terms on this site for a valid answer, yet I only get it from R&S. So that tells me that the most close minded are on this particular section, yet the tenants of the people that are on this site are looking for ANSWERS-correct? So you would much rather report someone for a truthful answer and, if it doesn't match your beliefs, then you will hit them with a violation? Where is the freedom, religious people?

I believe that people who seek to discredit science to bolster their own faith are both weak in faith and in science.

What do religionists here think about science?
