The below quote is in answer to one of my questions. I am non-religious. I believe in my Creator and Love talking about Him. I don't preach, I research and search, I love. I am not a novice, I've been on my path for 22 adult years. I am constantly learning, that is the reason for all the questions. Each answer I receive, brings a new rash of questions. God is Good.

."Cant you talk non-sense somewhere else? People are here to have fun, not to be read the gospel. "


If this be the case, why am I here?

Peace and Love

Just curious. I'm not gay, and I'm not looking for a new religin to join, but I do believe that homosexuality is not a choice and isn't "wrong," or "sinfull." Love is love, and if you happen to love someone of the same sex as you, more power to you. Are there any religions out there that think the way I do?

This is all hypothetical, so act as if it could happen. What if an alien race who had been around for billions of years and had vastly superior technology and physical powers than us, came to Earth as a peaceful gesture to make contact with us and share it’s technology and knowledge of the universe. They were willing to help us better the quality of life for all man kind, but they had to leave because they found out that we still practiced religion, and before they left that they explained that all of the other races in the universe that they had made contact with that still practiced religion died out when they shared their technology and knowledge of the universe with them. They went on to say that religion in any and all forms created a circle of violence in every case that they had witnessed, in over a million species that they have seen. How would this make you feel, to know that the unwillingness to let go of the past, for the future may have doomed the human race?

If you were never told of God and their was nothing that gave any indication of his existance would you still believe? It seems the only reason you believe in god is because of other people or is there another reason for your belief, did he come for tea one day?

My father is LDS, I am not, but I go to a Christian church. He and I don't speak very often because he cheated on my mom and abandoned my family to marry another woman (not LDS) 5 years ago. I have grown to forgive him in the last 5 years, but we are still working on our relationship. I am getting married soon and he said "his church does not allow him" to participate in my wedding, but he will be there. I wasn't really planning on him giving me away, I have already asked my brother to do that. My question is if this is common LDS practice, not to be involved in other weddings? I know that LDS do church weddings outside of the temple so non-members can be there. Is this true then that they cannot participate in Christian ceremonies? From what I know of LDS beliefs, he is not following doctrine, so why does he say this? I'm just asking out of curiosity. It seems hypocritical to me, but I am trying not to judge.

(Sorry if referring to God as a "He" or "Him" is sexist - in my mind, God is without gender, but unfortunately our language is not.)

Please provide passages from the scriptures if you can.

Most of the Christians that I meet are either conservative practicing Christians or liberal nonpracticing Christians. Do
practicing liberal Christians not exist or are they just few and far between?

Practing= attend church regularly, pray, read the bible, volunteer and etc
Liberal= more pro choice, pro women, pro gays, you don't have to belive what I believe, etc etc

What this person told me is that Christians from the future went back in time and used futuristic holograms, devices and futuristic medicine to act as prophets and as the word of God. They did this because in their time Christianity is a minority which is only practiced by less than 1% of the world's population and declining. They hoped that by changing the past to make the Bible true it would change the future. Not going by the scientific fact that you cannot change what has already become. In the case of Jesus he was actually of hispanic decent and hence given that name and was conceived by artificial insemination and was taught how to use the futuristic technology which caused the miracles he performed. He was crucified and did die but his body was later switched with a clone of the original Jesus which went back into the future. When he did this it was thought he asended into heaven. The Christian then gave up the program when they saw it was not working.

Crazy isn't it?

I've noticed that there are thousands of questions that are still open, but after clicking on the next question a few times, it seems to take me back to the same questions...especially in religion and spirituality. How do I stop getting the same questions and get to the older questions that are still open.

Has anyone else had this problem and figured a way to resolve it. I don't want the brand new questions, but the ones that are still open for more than an hour.

What is your experience of christian contemplative prayer?
I find some where quite if possible but not always. I close my eyes and offer the silence up for some intentions. I then hang with the Lord in the silence. I often feel a sense of peace and love from the Lord, When I have given talks and have done this type of prayer before giving the talk it has given fuel to what I have said.

I try to do this type of prayer for at least an hour every day - I like hanging with the Lord.

It has been noted that when faced with an ingrained belief, a discussion of anothers belief causes a fear of ones reality to collapse In simpler terms, if all my life I believed in something how can I rationally discuss someone's differing belief? How can we expand our spirituality if we are that closed off from others? Peace and Love

Rastafarians believe in the King James Version of the Bible.

Rastafarians choose Emperor Haile Sellassie I the First as their God in place of Jesus.

Like Jesus, Sellassie was a man, and he died but he has not resurrected, but he is known as Jah Rastafari, but not Jerastafari.

Rastafarians should therefore qualify as Protestants.
