Religion & Spirituality - 8 July 2006

The Consitution prohibits religious qualifications for Federal office, but did the first 13 individual states have state religions (i.e. denominations)? If so, what were the denominations?

Jealousy is a petty little feeling that petty little people get. It clouds judgement and leads to poor decision-making.
How can you people trust your lives to the hands of something powerful and god-like, yet petty and spiteful?
Stupid system.
Sounds like something pre-historic man made up in a fit of superstition.

They've sure got a lot of Biblical quotes. I guess God must love these people, because they have accepted Jesus as their personal saviour and are interpreting the Bible as they understand it.

I, on the other hand, have not accepted Jesus as my personal saviour, so I'll be sizzling and frying in hell.

It's good that we have a fair and just God looking out over us, isn't it?

Like the "aliens created human life theory",or that "life evolved on Mars and then came to earth theory" or that "the people of Atlantis were a extremely advanced culture that gave primitive humans knowledge", or that "UFOs are inter galactic alien space craft insted of U.S. top secret aircraft", or that "the position of the stars command your destany" or anything else short of insanity and beyond, WHY would some people believe in this crap but still not believe in God. Is it because they can't open thier minds enough to believe in God? Or is it because they just can't accept the fact that there is a God. Are people so blind, so closed minded to believe in everything but God? Why, how can people be so closed minded to the truth? It just blows my mind to know that so many people accept all of this science fiction over the belief in God.

Why is it that when a small, minor detail gets out (eg. I am not Christian) that I suddenly get bombarded with all kinds of hate messages and people telling me I have to believe what they want me to believe because they alone have the truth.

What's happening God? Well first R.C. thanks for standing up for me at answers.yahoo.com. But what I really called about is that I just hung up the cell with the devil and he is jacking me around again. He says that he has taken complete control of the pro life movement. He claims that they brag about killing doctors, bombing clinics and harrassing women and that he has them convinced I support them.The Devil tells them they are doing it in My name. He says they don't suspect him because what he says seems right, what with the death, blood and all. He claims that they believe that I support the taking away of the right to abortion and Free Will and the right to pray to God about abortion that I created. He claims that he has convinced them to make abortion against the law. He claims that once they pass an anti abortion law, he can send down the anti christ and there will be no way for me to abort him from the earth. Of course I am depending on you to tell my followers the truth.

So many religious quotes have been posted.
I feel like I need to belong to something greater than myself.

I will have to burn my science textbooks.

Creationists keep talking about how the theory of evolution is just a theory because we werent there and we have "no proof". How can they say that their theory, that God created mankind, is the truth? They always want to shove the "truth" in other peoples faces but when scientists come out with a theory they go "no that's wrong, this is how it is".

So I propose, everybody that read this. In the future when you're talking about the creationism, add "theory" at the end. It's the logical thing to do unless you have no sympathy and respect.

This boy I met kissed me again. I feel a mystical feeling when he does. Kind of other worldly. It feels as if I go into this critical mass meltdown. I want to throw him on the ground when he does but he seems to also keep me at arms length. I would like to know him more intimately. What should I do ? I ask this as a young christian.

I am gay and I am not really a Christian. Too Corrupt for me. But When is enough, enough? Here is the scenerio.. You spout off to a homosexual they are going to hell and state that I should be killed. Most likely I am not the first you have told this too.. You ask for forgiveness at church.. I don't though that it is a free pass.. It seems like that privilege should be revoked if you haven't learned to stop hate after so many attempts. Especially stating something like that to me, I am a very gentle person and I try to love everyone. I think god created homosexuals to put people's faith to the test. He doesn't make mistakes. Love Will Change the World.

If this omnipotent all knowing god is all knowing, why can't she see exactly what every life ends up like? Does she switch off a bit of her knowledge so we can have free will and if so is she therefore not all knowing after all? And why is she so bothered about her creations being good. If she really wanted us to be good, why didn't she build it in to us like she built in the heart beat?
I suspect she doesn't really exist or if she does she's got a flawed personality issue. Requiring some little minions on a backwater piece of space rock to praise her doesn't come across as too mature and shows some deep rooted insecurities for such a supposedly powerful being.

God bless and thanks for helping

I admit, I'm a new Christian and do not understand many aspects of the creation. But I believe in the Bible fully.
I often talk to my friend (an agnostic) about the Bible and the creation. He pretty much asked me, "Why is there the present distribution of animals and plants in the world? For example, how is it that marsupials are restricted to Australia and nearby islands and the Americas, monotremes to Australia and nearby islands, and few placental mammals are native to Australia? Or why are tomatoes and potatoes native to the Americas only?" He said this is not a question merely of how they could have arrived there, it is also of why ONLY there.

I thought the answer would be that God put things where they were suited, but he pointed out how most plants and animals are not suited for one area only and do just fine when taken to other parts of the world (in fact, he said there is a big problem with exotic species because of this).
