The semantic's game should be fun.
Catholic's worship God, who created jesus
Christian's worship jesus who was created by God.
Yet you say there is a difference?

Mother Nature provides everything.
Food; Water; Shelter & Enlightenment.

My Religion says that :
" If you feel to give back something to this Mother Nature....Do nothing....Keep yourself away from her. Just love and respect Her and keep quite... This is only way to pay back"

I believe that.

What is your belief?

Hell fearing Christians, that also believe in a loving God. How can you come to the conclusion that an all loving God would allow people to go to Hell for an eternity for sins manifested in such a short period of time.

While God may be just, is He also cruel? Think about it, mountains can be moved one particle of sand at a time and there would still be an unbearable amount of pain to exist to those that did not accept Jesus as their savior.

You justify this by saying it is God's way, but I think that if you really believe this and you also promote such beliefs without question you are as cruel as your beliefs. How can you feel so justified that God would do so? How can you believe that an all loving God can be so cruel?

You say it is choice, but you know we all make bad choices. You know that we all are without a perfect knowledge. How can you justify such horrid treatment of people?

Now, if you do believe in such a Hell, but do not agree with it, disregard this msg.

I mean after that whole Cain & Abel incident.

Apparently lambs are good sacrifice for the G-man.... wheat is bad sacrifice..... brother is also a bad sacrifice.
Sounds rather awkward to get right if you don't have precisely the right animals.


I seriously hope Satan isn't that fussy.

Then again, when I was a kid I sacrificed spiders, wasps and occasionally mice. Satan never got back to me on those... but then I didn't have any goats available, and my mother wouldn't let me sacrifice my little brother.

According to the theologians, God did not make all men alike.
He made races differing in intelligence, stature and color. Was
there goodness, was there wisdom in this?

Ought the superior races to thank God that they are not the
inferior? If we say yes, then I ask another question: Should the
inferior races thank God that they are not superior, or should they
thank God that they are not beasts?

It is evident, that a lot of Christians believe that Jesus is God. A lot do not even acknowledge the Father as important. In the Bible, Jesus says that the Father is greater than Him. If one were to look at the Bible, Jesus seems to be of a lower position of His father.

How can you believe Jesus is God when there is an abundance of text in the Bible that states otherwise? For those that believe Jesus is God, Jesus is less than the Father in the Bible, therefore where do you base your beliefs that He is an equal?

MacTealc Towers enjoyed a wonderful hooley and celebrated with dear friends as MacTealc at last cleared my name and made me his Lady!

OF COURSE ITS FOR REAL!

Lady Eydontnose/Heathernhoney was born and raised in this place - no one quite knows from whence the Warrior MacTealc strode but his stories are many from lands near and far.

In this place - despite attacks from sad souls and arrows shot at our hearts ...... and maybe because of those bad folk - our resolve to weld intangible friendship into indestructable bonds was made good.

In this place Mac and I are together forever. And this is the place we exist as the folk that you know.

In another time and another place there are two other people - living lives so different and so far apart that it would take magic to enable a union.

And magic does not exist - does it?

So - to answer my own question - please forgive me Mr. Ed - yes - its for real ........ just as the house of Seniors on Yahoo is for real.

XIV The Redeemer Gods
The sun was the first source of energy human life had, until mankind was able to kindle fire itself.

Many solar deities like Mitra also have been worshipped as fire gods.

The discovery of fire gave mankind an immense advantage in controlling the world.

Plato and Aristotle deemed sun worship as rational to some extent, although they were more sceptic to popular religiosity in general.

Solar deities like Salvitri and Mitra tend to be born shortly after the winter solstice. Herodot already knew about Mitra. Plutarch tells us that persian pirates brought the Mitra cult to Sicily.

Jesus' life is somewhat typical for the life of a solar deity. Birth around winter solstice, resurrection around spring equinox.

For Egyptians, the sun was the celestial father. This is underlined by some obelisk dragged into the Circus Maximus at Rome.

Jesus is just the same old sun god in a new dress.

XV Jesus Christ Is a Solar Myth
Dupuis derived the general pattern of the biography of solar deities like Jesus from astronomical observations, esp. solstices and equinoxes, and so on. Solar cult prevails in modern Christianity as well. Jesus is the lamb of God, akin to the significance of Easter, usually celebrated during the passage of the sun through the zodiacal sign of Aries. Origenes justified sun worship for its symbolic reason. Tertullian admits that Christian resurrection is akin to the Mitraic counterpart.

The portuguese term for sunday (domingo) derives from Latin dominus.

Mani and Satornil identified the sun as the Christ and true home of the soul.

The church tried to hide the fact that Jesus is just yet another solar deity after a long struggle.

Do you think their mocking of different religions and cultures is offensive? Funny to an extent? What do you think?

And Ned Flanders. What do you think of Ned Flanders? The overly religious (Protestant I believe, but certainly a form of Christian) left handed character with the glasses.

I know not everybody does this on here, but many of you do. And as a christian, when I see other christians acting this way it makes me very sad.

So...
To the believers-- Do you really think that whatever God you believe in wants you to be rude? Do you think that it makes people want to be apart of your religion? I don't know about other bibles, but I know the christian bible tells us to simply "love one another." Not just the believers, or who we think is worthy, it says EVERYBODY. It also says "Judge not, lest ye be judged".


And to the Non Believers....
Do you really think that simply calling somebody stupid for believing in God will make them suddenly realize that they are wrong and change everything? And honestly, how does it harm you personally if I believe in God? If I pray for you will it make you drop dead? If you don't believe there is a God, then what does it really matter?
