Religion & Spirituality - 6 July 2006

Communists in several countries, namely the USSR, tried to eliminate faith through violent means and coersion in order to bring about their idea of utopia. But it did not work. Do any athiests hope to change society and how?

When someone says god does not exist, he gets corrected or attacked by a lot of believers. But when someone uses the term Mother Earth nothing happens. The word "mother" itself is given to someone who created life, such as a woman that gave birth to a child. But if God created the earth and all plants, oceans, land, life, then the earth did not give birth to any of them thus not making earth a mother, a creator of life. So when someone says mother earth, why do they not get corrected?

it's just a different religion that praises nature and life. Hollywood made it seem evil and scary.
"Oooh! A pentagram! Keep away evil being!"
and the spells they make up are just stupid. An ye harm none do what ye will. They don't hurt anybody.

How much so should we be disciplining our children?

My kids have already started talking back to me if they don't get what they want and it is hurting me. But I have only myself to blame for that because I don't discipline them enough.

In Islam how should we go about disciplining our children? In the end of it all it is the parents who have to face Allah(Swt) for not raising our children to be good Muslims. So I want to know as much as possible, I hear how different cultures do this and that but I don't want to abuse them. Or is abuse being over exagerated here in the US?

the idea most skeptical and reluctant to sit down and talk about the gospel with a Christian?

Christians - this could be a learning experience of how to make yourself more able to approach a non-Christian and talk with out being over bearing.

Please, do not be sarcastic in your answers, I'd really like to know what the turn off's are and how to potentially correct that.

Many people think that science and religion are not compatible and that scientists must be athiests, or that religious people have no faith in science. In my opinion i think they are two independant fields. What do you think?

I believe it really happened because the bible says so. Plus where do you think the river, oceans, lakes all came from. Yes they are all here from Noahs flood. Did you know that? How do you think the dinosaurs died? yes they were killed in Noahs flood because they were to big to fit in the ark.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven."

What does it mean to you to do the will of God?

All religions seem to be started by men, some women, who couldn't get laid any other way.

I am a Catholic Christian and seriously want to know why some people find it so hard to believe in a loving God yet they can believe that something as unimportant as when you are born or the lines on your hands or even how cards are in a deck can map out your lives?

People have a God consciousness. Should we nurture this or supress it.

I feel so alone, i feel like my culture is dying out!
I am proud to be a wiccan, as i have been one for the past 3000 or so years. I don't want to hear any crap about how I need god, or how i'm going to burn in hell if I keep on practicing witchcraft, or how god is going to smite me with his mighty wrath. My point of perspective is; if I was going to go to hell,then how come i've kept being reincarnated for the past 3000 years? If i am going to get smited or sent to hell, "Bring it, biznich, this is going to be fun" ,says I. So bug off, my religion has been around Long before god was even thought up. so go somewhere else with your skeptisism, and leave us alone.

Doesn't the Qu'ran revere and honor Mary, the Mother of God?
How does the faith in Jesus Christ for Christians compare to that of Muslims, Messianic Jews, or any other faith that confesses Christ is the Messiah?
