Why don't people realize that is EXACTLY why our founders wanted a separation of Church and State!

In zen what does it mean when it is said that the world and everything in it is interconnected. When the "natural world" is referenced, what does that mean.

I do sympathize with people who call them selves Atheist because of the religious biggots who gave them the reasons not to learn the reality about who the KREATOR iz (is) to all kreation. The religious teachings about God, Jesus, the KJV Bible iz so confusing at times that are not convincing or pratical to many people. Perhaps, that iz why people do not believe the pagan, xenophobic (racist), blind arguementative teachings of Christian fanatics. Who in their rightful mind would accept the religious con-cept that God iz a old white man with white beard in the sky knowing all things but yet questioning all things, geting pist off at his so called creation by stating in Genesis 6:7 "And the LORD said, I will destroy man...for it repented me that I have made man." Weren't we told that sinners need to repent? I kan stand why Atheists would not believe in this white man's God, for if God iz white then Blacks would not be here. There'r more Atheists in Christian Nations than other Nations.

My boyfriend and I are going to visit my granny who is almost 90 years old. The problem though is that all she knows about him is what my father told her and he hates my boyfriend because he's black. I don't know if she'll be more racist since she's older or if she'll be more accepting since she's lonely. I am not looking forward to it because I am expecting that we'll get in a racial argument then she'll have a heart attack and keel over. I need advice on how to handle the situation.

I saw something on the news today, about a survey that revealed that almost 30% of people think Mt Everest is in Europe.
My local paper ran an ariticle last year about how nearly 2/3 of 15 year olds don't know when D-Day is, or even what D-Day is. Some of them even think that D-Day is something to do with the war in Iraq (My grandads would be rolling in their graves if they heard people saying that!)
I also saw a question on here last week about the Armistice, and judging by the answers, an awful lot of people don't know what it is or don't even care!

What's happening to people?

Greek Gods, who have lasted nearly 5 thousand years before the birth of jesus christ, and we have full documents on the teachings and religion of them.

Christianity, christians, you know who you are, but why do you love them?

Pastafarianism, possibly the coolest looking God on earth, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who touches those with his noodly appendages, has recently became a true religion.

Pagans, ok, im sorefully confused about this religion, it seems to be a hybrid between druidism and wiccan. Pagan Goddess, thats all i know of it.Oh, and celtics.

Wiccan, im not a stereotyper, but this just seems to be witchcraft in the eyes of most religions.

Druidism, the belief in mother nature, worshiping life, and that the Earth is the only god we worship. Unfortunately, hippies ruined this grand religion.

So, out of all these religions, which is best?

I see people believing in one God ( mono )
Polys .. believing in many Gods

Theists , Deists etc

ok I believe that the God I believe in is the same God in many/all religions
that we see God differently , percieve God differently , that there are many aspects of this God energy ( which may explain polys view of Gods ) ... i suppose similar to the way Hindu's believe

I sit here often and wonder where I really fit
I answer questions to Thesist but most times dont feel like Theist is what I am ... my God isnt a personal God
it is an energy , a distant source

hheeelpp ? lol

I am a new pagan I have felt a strong pull toward pagan, wicca, witchcraft for a very long time and I have now decided to open my heart and mind to it. I live in an extreamly small southern town where most of my friends and neighbors are southern Baptist. How do I decline the many invitations to their churches and such without offending them. since I am new I have not told any friends yet and I worry about their reactions to this I am happy to share the truth about my religion but I fear they are to closeminded. any help will be greatly appreciatd.

Please share what you know about consciousness and the human brain.

Prefer what you know about it scientifically.

However, your metaphysical views are welcome as are your
religious viewpoints too.

Like we could get the nerds at Yahoo! (Lol, I'm just pokin' fun at the techno-squad-no offense meant!) to create a chat forum and we could start chains with discussion starters and for every move played, we could counter. That way you don't have to win in just 3 moves or less.

If we got a petition, dontcha' think they would have to?
That would be awesome.

Would that not make you think that the Holy Spirit is GOD..? If its only his "Active Force" as you believe..then , if blashemy agaist the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin..would that mean it is greater than God? Would it not stand to reason that such an important thing to God would mean that it is part of GOD..the part that lives inside each born again Christian..?
I hope you can understand my question..thanks!

I heard in Catholic Bibles like NJB Christ's words on the Cross are "It is acomplished" and not "It is finished."

Does this subtle change not betray a massive and dangerous lie?
