Fantasy-related nicknames, over-the-top feminism, watered down New Age crap, arguments about the stupidest things and market mass media books are just some of the problems that I've found with this latest revival of the "Old Ways" (yet another retarded term). This has got to stop. The worse thing about all this is that its closely tied-in with Wicca. Do you people even stop to think about where Wicca comes from or what it's actual beleif system is?? Why is it that we cannot grasp concrete ideas that make up alot of other spiritual practices?
And how did we come to this, thinking that we're somehow pagan just because we light candles, dress in Renaissance replicated clothing and buy pagan paperbacks from corporate bookstores?
Whatever happened to the focus of community life, sex, blood, rebirth, death, all the things people call 'icky' and the actual LIVING off the land? Someone please tell me that I'm not the only one that can see this disturbing situation?

I really want to know,cuz im a christian and believe that life's duties take so much quality time with your spouse away from u,leaving u with few opportunities to share emotion and love to strengthen the relationship with even just one woman.even if u can afford it financially,how can one wife of four be assured her husband is always there to protect and care for her?and how can a man do it?

I am a Christian, but I have friends and loved ones across the spectrum from fundamentalist Christian to agnostic to complete atheist. I respect their right to decide their faith and I expect you to respect mine.
One thing I have always wondered is what do atheists believe as regards to the soul. They have measured the body at the exact time of death and found that there is a small drop in weight at that moment. People have then come back with "near death experiences".
How does this fit with atheism?
And please, answer me thoughtfully and with science (I married an engineer and my grandfather was a well-known scientist in his field). I really do want to understand.

Let's have a look at some of the christian areas in the world and see why they are christian.

Africa

European christians invade Africa, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.

North America / Australia

European christians invade, steal land from the native population, nearly wipe out the native population and then come in such droves as to come to completely dominate the area after several generation.

Central America / South America / Phillipines

European christians invade, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.

It's a sad fact the christian missionaries played an important role in this massacre of people and of tradition and culture all in the name "god".

The spread of christianity worldwide doesn't quite seem as glorious now does it ?

Islam doesn't fare much better.

Read the entire Bible front to back ONCE in your lifetime, and then you can have your own opinion instead of what someone else told you....

In the Old Testament, god talks through a burning bush. He turns a staff into a snake, makes the Nile a river of blood, with no life in it.. And he kills every first-born in Egypt, with exception to those that have goat's blood (!) on the door. All because his Kanaan people aren't allowed out of Egypt, out of slavery. When the pharaoh does let them go, after being scared and hurt so much, he goes mad - chases the godly people to the sea and ends up drowning. Suppose this all actually happened.

Now here's a question: If you'd been in Egypt at that time, would you believe this a god, a devil, a daemon, or would you be too scared to think?

Who could have possibly known about Adam and Eve and how they came about? Who was there when all of those things happened? Who was there when Jesus said this, when Jesus said that? When he did this, when he did that?

Life extention will happen, either through rejuvenation or memory transfer into a clone.

As religion is based around death and the afterlife, will religion survive in the time of eternal life and no death. And if it does, how will it change?

This is after all a Religion and SPIRITUALITY section.

Does christianity have a monopoly on spirtuality ?

Is it that they don't like their cosy little belief system to be challenged ?

What is the best way to kill Jesus? I heard that he is afraid of a cross.
Can we get God to kill him for us?
Might El Ciupacabra be the answer?

Since Jews don't believe he was the Messiah, do they view Jesus as a prophet like Muslims do?

Ok, please answer honestly, try to keep the smart aleck stuff to a minimum. This is mostly aimed at atheist and or agnostic.
Were you raised in a religious house hold? If so what religion was it? And what made you decide to stop?Were your parents upset with you? And did this, even in a little way make your happy? (be honest!)

Now I know many of you do your own research, and while I do think that is great, and I don't know any of you, so don't take this as me bashing your IQ or whatever. But what makes you think that your opions and research outweights the opinions of those that have made it there lifes work to study say the bible? I mean there are many very smart ppl that have disproven the bible, but I personaly don't know of any, I guess I just assume they exist.

Like I said before, please be honest. And don't just cop out and say something sarcastic or rude. I am trying to understand some things. And if you want others to even consider your views, you have to actualy give them

Is milk Non-Vegetarian?? Is there anything, which is 100% Vegetarian. In India some group of people think that Milk is Non- Vegetarian . What do you think?? I think every Vegetarian food also contains micro-organisms, which we kill while cooking and eating. There is nothing called 100% Vegetarian. Plz give your opinions.

Firstly please state of which of these faiths or religions you are from. and you can answer this in more ways then one.

for example you can say both the muslims and christian God is the same but the jewish God isn't.

My friend likes to reasearch the older beliefs and texts of her faith. She is the one I mentioned that wears a Christian Pentacle. Well she showed me The Gospel of Thomas today and I found it kind of surprising. I would like to know what is your view on it. I am a Solitary Eclectic, but I used to be a Catholic and its not anything like I was tought in Catholic School. I know it is a contraversial topic, but I just want an honest opinion.
