Religion & Spirituality - 25 July 2006

I read in a newspaer few days ago that in Pakistan they have a law which states:

Any women who is raped must produce four eyewitnesses as a minimum, to prove that she was raped or else she will be prosecuted for adultery/prostitution.

There are thousands of women in Pakistani jails suffering because they could not produce eyewitnesses. This law is called "Hudood".

What are your views?

If god created Adam and Eve in his own image (Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him...") Does god have parasites?

Parasites, like liver fluke and malaria and lice, can't live long outside their hosts, so where were they before the fall? EITHER there was an 8th day after the fall of man when god created parasites, OR parasites EVOLVED later.

Or god also has parasites.

Why did you choose to have my brains sucked out of my helpless head as I screamed silently, but completely aware of every shred of pain?

Why didn't you choose to love me?

Or choose to let another family love me?

Why did you choose murder, is that really a right?

I've read some great stuff on this site. However, I'm actually shocked by the amount of people that quote the bible to prove their point. My question is: How many of you have been raised Christian, never having an option to decide your own path? Has anybody "picked" Christianity as their way of life? Please do not reply If you were "saved" while you were in prison, or you were about to die from drugs or alcohol. Please, no bible versus. Thank you.

Most people, including christians have been fooled into thinking that the promised land was only for the "jews".

For those who believe in whatever version of the bible they chose, the promise is to ABRAHAM and his decendents NOT just jews... (decendants of Judah?).

This includes those who are now arabs, christians, muslims, communists....

Christians are taught that God will forgive them for ANYTHING they do(including rape, murder child molesting ect.)

Christians are taught that Jesus has already paid the price for their sins(rape, murder, ect) So, that just does away with taking responsibility for your own actions

Christians are taught that no sin is greater than the other. Murder being equal to lying about your age is just some sick thinking

Us Atheists are taught to have a higher standard of behavior because there's no skydaddy telling us we're born bad, if we do bad, Jesus has already paid for it, and God will forgive us for all the dirt. This will make a person want to do bad.

Us Atheists cherish life and treat life well because we know that this is the only life we'll ever have

i saw an answer on this forum stating this:

"ok here i wanna tell you sumthin!!!:
take your hand and cup it. now go try to fit as much water in that one cupped hand as you can. only like a tablespoon right???
God can hold all of the oceans of the world in just ONE hand!!!!
thats how amazing my god is!!!!"

2 questions came to mind:
1) since when is being born with huge hands something amazing?
2) what does God do with his other hand?

I don't think I'm a bad person. I try to help other people when I can and despite being a cynic, I believe in basic human goodness at the end of the day. I don't disbelieve in God, but I am very ambivalent and doubtful towards this entity's existence.

I believe if God does exist, he is a hypocrite that sits on his throne, judging on high with his condemning morality. All the while, it was him that created this world, him that gave humanity free will that causes this and he that refuses to step in and correct the evil that he is directly responsible for in this world. If God exists, we are nothing but puppets to him. A movie he knows the ending to. If God knows what we're going to do, what we will think and what the future is then our existence is meaningless .

If God wants to send me to a lake of fire and eternal suffering for deciding with the free will he gave me that he doesn't exist, then he is a hypocrite and a coward. It's humanity that should judge God.

I mean here I am, in the midst of a spiritual quest, and I get invitations to this religion and encouragement from that religion.

And I'm going down the list and what do I find?

Nothing - not a gosh darned thing - from the Pastafarians.

I mean, I even got some insight into Pieganism. The Piegans are outpacing the Pastafarians!

I gotta say that I am a bit miffed. It's like I'm not worthy or something.

someone who i once hoped to spend the rest of my life with, i can now only hope to spend all of my death with. i have so many thoughts going through my head right now. i'm sitting here wanting to tell him i'm sorry and thinking of all the things i should say to him and writing him letters but then i realize he will never get the letters and never hear my words. i wish somehow i could know that his spirit was here with me, seeing my tears, my depression, my questions, my letters and everything. but now i feel as though im being selfish, why am i thinking of my loss and depression when i should be thinking of everything he has lost out on and his depression he had to make him kill himself? is it selfish of me to cry over my missing him and over my guilt instead of crying over all that he could have had out of life or all that he was going through before he died?
