Society & Culture - 10 November 2007

what my plan was for today, can you tell me? If I asked you what my favorite color was, can you tell me? How about my birthday? What I ate for last night?

Obviously, I would have to tell you these things directly myself.

So if we want to learn more about God, how come the first person we run to is everyone else but God?

I see a lot of varying Christian denomnations and Atheist views here and a fair amount of Muslim and pagans of various types. I would like to hear more from Buddhists and Hindus as I've only seen a sprinkling of posts from those religions. Who would you like to hear more from?

Who, apart from Jehovah's Witnesses, teach this? And how do you explain what Jesus said about Lazarus 'being in the bosom of Abraham' after he died?

They say it is illegal to smoke marijana, to eat magic mushrooms, the peyote cactus plant etc etc.

Why are they going out of there way to make the fruit of the earth illegal?

Are these laws not anti - nature? I think they are.

NIV
Leviticus 20:17
IF A MAN MARRIES HIS SISTER, THE DAUGHTER OF EITHER HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has dishonored his sister and will be held responsible

Deuteronomy 27:22
"CURSED IS THE MAN WHO SLEEPS WITH HIS SISTER, THE DAUGHTER OF HIS FATHER or the daughter of his mother." Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"

Genesis 20:11-12
Abraham replied, "I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.' Besides, SHE REALLY IS MY SISTER, THE DAUGHTER OF MY FATHER though not of my mother; AND SHE BECAME MY WIFE

Obviously, whoever wrote Leviticus and Deuteronomy didn’t know that Sarah was Abraham’s sister... Abraham made a big fortune pimping his wife to the most prominent kings in the region telling them, “She is my sister!” God didn’t curse Abraham at all, but he blessed him beyond his wildest dreams…

Tonight the Newman club at my college is going to the Festival of Praise (the FOP). Its an awesome event and you can really feel God's presence there. After the FOP they pray over people. I'm torn between having that done or not. I know that the group im going with will want me to (because of what happend monday) but Im scared too. I know that its a good thing, but I dont want to break down and cry infront of all these strangers.
What do you suggest?

I'm not Catholic but it's not hard to see that these references to paedophilia are pointless and going nowhere, quite apart from being hurtful and abusive to the vast majority of decent, devout priests.
I'm sure many of the Catholic priests could put a lot of the Protestant clergy to shame.
Are we going to see an end to this vilification?

Why do you think God does not Exist? Now, before... or even after... some of you give a smart alick answer, you need to really think about this. I would really be interested in hearing logical and well though out answers.

from the jewish and Islamic view Jesus was a prophet. However, Christian's worship him as the son of God or God taken human form. If Jews and Muslims are right then Christian's are commiting blasphemy. How will God punish them for their false worship?

Is that why they don't like science so much, as all the outside reasoning doesnt support the bible, only the bible suports the bible? is this a circular argument?

Keep in mind that there are different kinds of religious experiences. I am talking about the kind where someone believes they have had a direct experience with a spiritual being of some kind.

Theists of whatever kind, how do you regard the experiences of people in other religions? Do you judge them by a different standard than the religious experiences people have in your own religion? Why?

Atheists, I know that others' religious experiences would hold no proof for *you*, just as a Christian's religious experience would not be proof for a Pagan. However, do you automatically assume that people who have them are simply hallucinating (and is that really fair?), or do you allow that perhaps they just might be perceiving a valid reality, even if their experience wouldn't be sufficient proof for anybody outside of themselves? Why?
