Alright i am catholic and we believe when we die we either go to heaven or hell.If God forgives, why would he sent someone to hell? But what happens to the people that dont believe in religion? What if I stopped being Catholic, what would happen to me?

I am Catholic and i dont no if i wanna be. i believe there is a god, i believe that something happens when you die. but i also believe that god knew people would not believe in one religion so i sometimes think all religions are true. i need help because i dont no what to do! my family wants me to be comfirmed and sometimes im like sure ill do it, other times i want to stay far away from being comfirmed. however when i think that, i feel 'bad' like i did something 'wrong'
what should i do?

I am not talking about bible study. I mean research it's origin and for example: who the authors of the bible are. What are the timelines in the bible. Why their is no real historical record of Jesus.
Common sense and using logic and reason not just what somebody told you.

I am Cathloic but have studies the qu'ran and wonder why so many people classify all muslims as oppressive (men) or oppressed (women). Why do people have to be ignorant? People blame muslims for many problems in the world and I don't get it.

I dont like the fact that all the athiests are coming and bashing Christians. Sure this is 'Religion and Spirituality' but shouldnt they have their own sub group? Not that that would stop them from going to the christian group and bashing them there..

I'm losing my faith in god (if I ever had any). I find it very difficult to believe in the bible given I see no evidence. It seems god never intervenes for the god. If he would give me just 1 sign I'd tough it out and worship him, but I get nothing no matter what I pray. Why?

Is Atheism now a religion?

2007-12-29 16:21:00 · 24 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

When I read this earlier it made me sad.

2 Corinthians 6
14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

Does this imply all personal relationships where one might become 'yoked together' (I assume this means emotionally attached as well as financially) with a non-believer are off limits?

Christians, do you find that alot of churches worship the rewards and prosperity principles in the Bible more than they worship the Lord Jesus Christ?

Yesterday I asked, "CHRISTIANS: Why are you moral?"

Only a few responded, but all said that they weren't moral.

(You can read their extended responses here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071228113846AAXui00&r=w&pa=AptqD2bwHTHf5.mOaaE_vFLlctCAKjqTHcRAgGD9LZ1c3w--&paid=voted )

I was puzzled by this response because Christians so often say that atheists cannot be moral because we do not believe in any God that serves as the "giver of morals."

So if Christians, by and large, don't believe they're moral ("just forgiven," as I've heard the cliche), why the big judgment that atheists can't be moral?

(And while you're at it, if anyone can shed any light on why this isn't a classic schizophrenogenic double-bind [i.e., you must be moral, but it's impossible for you to be moral], you'll get extra points.)

I don't mean how often do you read something you disagree with. I mean actually offended.

why is it when I watch movies like Will and Grace or Queer as Folk do I get the impressions like gay (men-men) does not seem to like lesbian??, is it because the lesbians are female (male within) and the gays are male ( female within), well that would make the lesbians stronger. I guess that's a stupid hypothesis, so what is it?, why do the gays and lesbian not get along well?, or is this just a plot to make the movie hilarious?.

I'm gay by the way and I never met or known a lesbian so I don't know how I would feel about them, but I think if forced to marry a woman by my parents, I would prefer the lesbians than straight girls. Just personal preference
