Religion & Spirituality - 9 July 2006

The Bible, which is the basis of Christianity, is filled with the advocacy of hatred and violence. And history shows how christians have waged war against others who they perceive as being against or different from them. They got rid of Paganism world wide for example and of course there are many more examples. Of course, they didn't completely wipe out Pagans just like they didn't completely wipe out the Native Americans (north american indians.)
For me, the recovery from all this hatred and violence has been a return to my roots...a return to the Goddess. For others it has been agnosticm or aethiesm. So tell, how have you dealt with this?

Do you believe in ghosts and have you ever saw one? We believe this house we live in has a couple. I have seen the woman in the kitchen in the middle of the night standing at the sink with her back to me. We also smell cigar or pipe smoke in certain areas of the house. Anyone else have this same thing happen to them?

He's a singer at Hillsong. And is part of Hillsong Live. There's a profile on myspace which is supposedly his. I somehow doubt it.
It's not a huge deal whether he really IS engaged or not - Im just curious.

In the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament (Brit Hadash), there were instances where individuals experienced direct contact with God. In some instances the description depicts angels ascending and descending from heaven to earth and vice versa. Remember Jacob who "wrestled" with God and Jesus (Yeshua) who declared that his disciples would see angels ascending and descending upon Himself? Some say that worshipping God in "Spirit and in Truth" opens heavenly portals. What about those people who worship evil, who unknowingly open portals to evil? What happens to those sitting on spiritual portals who don't understand the spiritual realm or how to deal with it? Aren't they taking a huge risk?

Every society believes in a form of religion, maybe not everyone but safe to say the majority. I am wondering what would one society be like if there was no higher beliefe or some form of religion, what would it be like.

I am just curious as to when you think our scientists will be able to prove to us that they can recreate creation? Oops I meant the chance occurrence of life on this planet? Do you think that they will ever be able to create life from nothing? Even if evolution is how it happened will they ever be able to recreate how it all started? Or will some of them actually start to realize that there had to be a Greater Power than their own, perhaps God ?

Acts was written by one of Paul's disciples. It is where the story of Paul's blindness by Jesus is given. Should we be sceptical of Paul?

I can't seem to find any athesit/agnostics that are conservative Republicans. For arguments sake let's say 50% are dems, 50% are republicans...where are the athesit-agnostics that are also republican & conservative????

Could it be that the athesit-agnostic community that proudly say's they are nothing more that a cross-section of good old fashion Americans from EVERY walk in life....

are they really a very narrow group of liberal thinkers?

Do any dare to get out of line and not dance to liberal drum beat?

Are there any that think outside the very narrow liberal box?

Where is the CROSS-SECTION of Americana?

Note: please no long winded liberal rants..bla, bla, bla..show me contrast in thought!
