Religion & Spirituality - 10 June 2006

Ok, what if Dan Brown and all the people he worked with had a different plan for the Da Vinci Code? Although a lot of people read it, almost no one believes it right. Most people read it to defend their faith, and they learned a little more about their faith in the process? In other words, Dan Brown and company knew their story was so innacurate that people would pay more attention to their faith, and defend it more openly.
And what if, in a few weeks or months, after the world forgets about it, they announce that that was their entire plan?
Do you get what i mean?
What do you think?

When I do move into this house where the lady died, and if she does haunt it, would it be wrong for me to let her stay there and not cross over?. I really want to live with a ghost, because I have always had an interest in interacting with them. She died as an old lady and also do you think she will try to harm me in any way while I try to sleep at night?

I am moving into a home where a old lady died. She had lived there for over 30 something years. Do you think the house is probably haunted? This house is in a rural wooded area with a couple of ponds beside it.

Please don't answer this question if you don't believe in ghosts. I am looking for honest answers.

Wouldn't you just love to live like an ancient and eat and drink like Jesus ...generally cast off this modern world and go back in time, life was short and brutal and you'd be lucky to reach forty of course. Would you do it?

So if I told myself I was a mutant (like the xmen or something) or I was a rock and roll star, or even a jedi knight, would it happen? I mean if I could just speak myself into things I wouldn't mind speaking my Ford Escape into a BMW. hahaha. Anyway, people use that phrase and even use scripture to back it up.

Other than to be adversiral, I am curious what leads you to these topics if you truly believe in Atheisiam. There is so much intolerance in the world today, why post just to condemn something you have no use for anyway. I personally do not go bashing anyones beliefs or lack of them.

I know some people think that the Apostal Paul was not a appointed apostle of Jesus Christ, he was appointed by the 11 apostles. Which is true?

I guess I am worried about it cause I am a Gentile...

why can we not logically come to accept the concept of god, im not asking people who think we can. but a lot of people seem to think that god exists but he doesn't want us to realize he exists with our brains, you can still love someone without blindly accepting there existance without any proof. how does blind faith help our relationship with him at all?

How do you kow that the gospels and letters in the New Testament are inspired by the holy spirit? Wouldn't you have to believe and trust the Catholic Church? The Catholic Bishops chose these 27 books and said they were inspired by God.

Which disciple took virgin Mary into her home to grief Jesus Death?

Why did Jesus earth brother not take care of his (there) mother?

Is this a question that only God knows, or did the earth brother of Jesus prepare the tomb for their Lord Jesus (brother's Death).?

Do you believe in God and follow the rules of your respective religion because of faith and love for the Almighty Creator or because of fear of being punished and going to Hell? For me it is faith because I don't believe in Hell. What is it for you?
