I like both faiths I like Paganism because it is fun and the gods help me but it is very lonely and I have to practise behind my mothers back. I like catholicism because it has huge churches and I can go to mass every week so I feel like I am part of community but I feel like my spirit is hollow and christ as my saviour dosnt make sense as a phrophet sure but not as god. so how do I choose?

I've been participating in R & S for only a short time. In that time, I've seen quite a bit of rich discussion on a wide range of topics. That's great! And it's why I've decided to hang around.

I've also seen some discussion of things that some of us don't like about R & S. It is easy to point to something that we don't like. Or to tell someone else what they should do to fix it. I'd like to challenge the community to do something much more difficult. Tell us what you personally would like to do to make it better.

I'll start the discussion off this way:

When I respond to a question, I would like to take a moment before sending it to read what I have written and think about how the questioner and others will hear it.

I read over in the Astronomy QA that the pointee-heads figure half the human beings who've ever lived are alive today.

In another 20 years the numbers will be nearer 75 percent [assuming nothing causes a major rush to the exit signs].

So if we can hold out long enough doesn't this mean we can actually see a time when EVERYONE who ever lived is still alive?

This questions stems from an answer I gave and an email I received from a contact I think is Muslim. He quoted the quran as it say something to the effect of "don't keep a woman from the mosque even if the hour is midnight". He says that non-Muslims are allowed inside the mosque and if not allowed in then that is because of the communities rules and not the quran. I am curious to know how many different communities will not allow entrance to a non-Muslim. Also please tell me if indeed the quran says this or in your opinion is that surah only in regards to Muslim women. Thanks for your replies.

Mine would be the one where the little kid goes to a shoe store to buy his dying mother shoes so she can look good when she meets Jesus that same night.

What sort of parent would let their small child run off to a mall when his wife was laying on her death bed? What sort of little kid knows his mothers shoe size, and not only that but shouldn't that kid be with family at a time like that? I mean talk about schmultzy.

Since this country was founded on God, shouldn't Bhuddism, Islamic, ect be banned from the USA? What right do foreigners have to come to the USA and demand religious rights?

Why is the fruit eaten by Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden always referred to as an apple, even though it is never mentioned in the Bible?

It's one thing when you tell people not to have sex while they're alive if they're not married, but if no girl wants to marry him and he lives his life by your rules and then when he's about to die, it's adding insult to injury when you tell him he won't get to have sex in Heaven.


At least you married Christians with your kids know what it's like to have sex! You've experienced it and enjoyed with your spouse, so don't add insult to injury.

Allegorical and/or Metaphorical. Does everyone remain in doubt and confused or is there a way to determine specifically when you are reading an Allegory or a Metaphore? Is there someone in the Christian hiarchy who has the final say or is it an individual interpretation by each Christian?
