Religion & Spirituality - 24 July 2006

You made a huge fuss about the Danish cartoons because you said it is against your religion to show images of the prophet Mohammed. But everyday you declare on religious TV programs and from loudspeakers that Jesus is not the son of God. Isn't it hypocrytical to ask others to obey abide by your religious laws while you violate theirs?

Is it in our breathe or in our heart or in our mind?

begin-and that is what happened so many eons ago that when man was here orbiting the sun on Venus (in the orbit that the Earth now has) he sent man to Earth which was where Mars is now and he did not return-and as the Suns Gravity pulls the planets closer to it each year-eventually Mars will be in Earths orbit and once it reaches the tempretures to sustain life the process will begin again-I'm Crazy you say-well until we send an observer to Venus to scan the planet there-and find the remnants of life that was once there I only have a Theory-but like I can not prove there is no God you can not prove my concept is incorrect. As Mercury gets closer to the sun it will go into rapid orbits and then be thrown out like a comet-Ever see a marble drop into water and a perfect bead-appears above the water? Imagine if you will a meteor striking the Earth and at such a magnitude that the Earth is liquified and that perfect bead is OUR MOON-which has lots of strikes-craters-that were here B4 Jesus!

If you're wrong, Your whole life is a big joke because you lived a trick, not life

If your husband cheated on you for 50 years, you call that "nothing to lose"?

YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE

WHAT'S THE POINT IN LIVING IF YOU SPENT YOUR WHOLE LIFE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF?

If us Atheists are wrong and God is good, he should understand that we were just being ourselves.

science fiction and some religious writers, sometimes explore the possibility of there being more than a single universe, that is, this one. what if there were another or even more than that in what is referred to as god's creation. what would you like it to be described as?
please feel free to speculate ijn any manner, but not limit youself to a single possibility, as so many like to do. there is no right answer to this, only differing ideas and pssibilities to expound on or to explore.

Do you interpret your imagination to be a valid representation of God?

"There is more documentary evidence for the accuracy of scripture than any other book of antiquity. It's not even close. It's like Michael Jordan playing Michael Myers in a game of 21."

If you can, what is the best way to go about learning more about the religion itself (many books seem to be written partly or entirely in Hebrew) and what steps need to be taken to convert?

I will tell you what happened, followed by my question:
Bella is my fifteen-month-old mixed-breed dog who is approximately thirty-five pounds. She has been spayed, wears an electric collar that contains her to our yard, and is up to date on all of her immunizations. Bella will be attending obedience training at a local Canine Academy as soon as there is an opening.
The person in question has a nine year old son (approx. age), who is a friend of my neighbor's son. This boy came into my yard to speak with his friend's father, who I was having a conversation with. Bella dashed after him and bit his calf. She did not break his skin, but he was terrified and so he cried quite a bit. I ran over as soon as I heard that he had been bitten and consoled the boy, inspected his leg, and took my dog into my house. Later the boy's mom knocked on my door, and was very angry. I am not a confrontational person, and I did "turn the other cheek". I didn't make excuses, but I apologized. More to come.

Bush claims to be a Christian, but sees nothing wrong in the Jews of Israel annihilating and practising genocide on the christian peoples of Lebanon.

What do you see when you close your eyes? Do you see Jesus? Do you see what could be God? Do you interpret your imagination to be a valid representation of God? Do you wish you were someplace, anyplace then in church praying? Do you think about your to-do list? Do you make a mental note of who may be watching you as you close your eyes? Do you cry when you close your eyes? Why? Who is it that is praying when you are in church, the minister/pastor/priest or another member of the congregation? Do you think God hears your prayers when you have been sinful and unrepentant? Wow... I'm having way too much fun with this.

What is "PBUH"? In your questions and answers, I've noticed that you put these behind Jesus and Mohammad. What does it stand for or why do you put that? Just out of curiousity.

You could mix them in like in Reader's Digest. Just something to pep it up between the geneologies.

i've never been clear on this. if we have sin, then how does jesus' death cleanse us of that sin?? it really doesn't make any sense.

please don't rattle off a bunch of bible quotes to me. i don't believe things just because they're in print. i only believe things that make sense.

I posted a sarcastic question about my own religion but deleted it because people seem to freak out too easily.. they take it too seriously, they curse, they yell, they make threats, they fall down and can't get up. Can we not find humor in religion anymore... especially our own?? I personally find many things to laugh about but that doesn't decrease my faith any more... if anything, it strengthens it because I know God has a good sense of humor. Why does everything have to be so end-of-the-worldish?? lighten up people!

We're not intimidated by the hell myth like you are. GET IT?

You telling us we're going to hell is like trying to scare us with casper the ghost. It's a joke. GET IT?

We know it's fake. We aren't like you

since both religions teach that homosexuality is an abomination to God.

Why do "gays" try to label us Christians as "homophobes" just because we believe that the word of God is true and that people who practice homosexual sex are committing a grave sin and are in danger of going to hell if they don't repent?

Elvis Aaron Presley died in 1977. He was born and lived at a time when most people in his land were illiterate. Sound familiar? We have many first hand reports about Elvis' life. We have many reliable records: Medical, Musical and otherwise. Even so, there are people, LOTS of people, who insist that Elvis is not really dead. Sound familiar? Even the dozen's of books written by people who knew Elvis contain conflicting stories of his life. Sound familiar? In "Fit for a King", an important work delving into the Elvis eating habits, the author suggests that in order to make Elvis' beloved fried chicken you'll need 3/4ths a cup of flour, salt, paprika and pepper. In "Are you Hungry Tonight", a definitive look into Elvis' favorite foods, the king's beloved fried chicken recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flower, salt and pepper. Glairing differences! A quarter less flour and no paprika! WHAT HERATICS!

Now imagine trying to figure the true Elvis Chicken, two thousand years from now.
