I mean absolute blind faith. Can it be considered destructive in one's spiritual growth?

With the idea in mind that you are the primal goddess.

HE threatened to totally annihilate the US with a "nuclear war"

I wish I could look him in the eye and tell him that we would erase his entire country from the face of the earth before the missile would even take off...

yea. I think I'd be a good diplomat... I'd be like "Keep talking trash and see who the next iraq is!"

I've been thinking that the search for the truth is like trying to get from New York to San Francisco without any street signs.

Group 1 claims that if you follow this road and avoid any detours, you'll reach SF. However they've never travelled the road, nor have they ever reached the city. Their directions are based on an old treasure map.

Group 2 on the other hand say they're not sure how to get there so their directions are vague. Head towards the sunset. If you hit the Grand Canyon you're too far south, if you see glaciers you're too far north. As we get more detail we'll let you know.

Group 3 says that like Camelot, Avalon, and Atlantis...San Francisco doesn't exist. Might as well stop looking for it.

Group 4 says that you must follow a different road than group 1, and that 70 virgins are waiting for them on the West coast.

Group 5 says that you can take any road you like, but the further of course you go, the longer it will take you the next time you travel

If I knew how, I'd set it up right away. Don't you just hate the way they keep taking over everything and preaching all the time and denying scientific fact. How can they be so blind, so stupid, so ignorant, so delusional?

I mean, how does someone accept christianity and all it's lies? It's so irrational. It's like something out of 1984, they're just persuading themselves to believe things they know aren't true. How can someone do that though? I just don't understand.

I would welcome comments from Christians if you try to make a relevant contribution to try to help me understand in rational terms. But please don't preach to me or post quotes from your story book you call the bible, because I won't waste time reading it.

Why do you believe in the religion that you do, when there is no concrete evidence of the religion being true, and often disregard part of the teachings in the book. If it is out dated then why do you still feel a need to follow the religion

Supposedly a true story...
Mr. Johnson, a businessman from Wisconsin, went on a business trip to Louisiana. He immediately sent an e-mail back home to his wife, Jennifer (JenJohnson@AOL.com). Unfortunately, he forgot his wife's exact e-mail address and the e-mail ended up going to a Mrs.Joan Johnson (JJohnson@AOL.com) of New Jersey, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away. The preacher's wife took one look at the e-mail and promptly fainted.

When she was finally revived by her daughter, she nervously pointed to the message, which read: "Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here."

That is, have you professed belief in something because you liked the idea rather than because you thought it's really how the world is?

Example--I like the idea of reincarnation. I even have watched for hawks since my boyfriend said he thinks his father was reincarnated as a hawk--it's a romantic idea I guess. But it seems much more likely to me that anything that I call 'me' will cease to exist when I die.

Another example--Some people oppose teaching evolution because they are worried what kids will do if they learn they evolved from monkeys? Nevermind it's scientifically proven or not, if kids find out they are animals they will act like animals. (Like they don't anyway? lol)

Only God is holy, calling another mortal, human being by that title is blasphemy. Kissing the ring in his finger or any other similar defference should be offensive to God in accord with God´s laws that prohibit such idolatry. What do you think?

I have a serious question that has confused and upset me for a long time. I know there are good and bad people in the world of every religion. However...from what I understand, have read and have heard christians are supposed to be about love and forgivness. After all...according to their beliefs Jesus died on the cross so they could be forgiven for their sins. So why is it so many christians are filled with hate for people who have different beliefs? How can they condemn other religions, homosexuals etc etc etc? My parents are christian and that's the type of household I was brought up in. That is what I was taught to believe at an early age. But I see how they...and many, many others...act when faced with someone who doesn't see things their way or share their beliefs. I just don't understand.

The second coming of Jesus was imacculately conceived in a 15 year old virgin from Jersey (not many to pick from).

Her parents didn't believe she was a virgin and made her get an abortion.

I know this is true, I saw it in a grilled cheese sandwich.

Why won't you accept the (near) second coming of your saviour?

It seems quite a few people are so entrenched in their belief system's dogma that they are unwilling to have an open discourse on any topic that refutes their beliefs.

Often, I see moderate answers that try to remain unbiased and address all sides of the issue be tossed out by question askers who had pre-decided what answer they would select. They select the post that agrees with them, rather than one that agrees with them but also leaves room for other possible answers.

I don't see the point. Why would they bother asking, if they already know there is only one answer they would consider? There is no intellectual, emotional or spiritual growth that could come from this, it seems an exercise in self-satisfaction.
