Religion & Spirituality - 27 July 2006

It seems like it would be a really powerful idea to set up an online prayer list. Maybe there could be one featured prayer subject every day or every week or something. Imagine if millions of people all over the world prayed for the same thing at once. Imagine the good it could do.

I was puttering around in one of my comparative religion books and I started to see a pattern. It seems like most religions can be classified as being one of the following; theology based, law based or mystical.

There are a zillion books on Christian theology but not much on law and only a smattering of mysticism (mostly written in the Middle Ages).

There are zillions of law commentaries for Judaism a smidge of mysticism. And has anyone ever heard of Jewish theology? Islam is primarily a religion of law too.

Then there seem to be the mystical religions: The Neo-Pagan stuff, Sufism (a branch of Islam), and Native American religions, etc.

Am I seeing pigeon holes that I shouldn’t be?

I think they taste yummy! I'm going to start a new Communion Diet and get lots of people to eat the body of Christ for breakfast and lunch with a sensible dinner.

No cupcakes for them, though : (

Muslim men are promised 72 virgins when they get to heaven, what do Muslim women get, 72 men?

I am reposting this question, because the last post contained too many typos.

Is it based on the size of its membership/congregation, acceptance by the mainstream culture, or just familiarity?

Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods.
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes.
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends.
Reckon they'd just nail him up if He come down again.

'Cos everybody's got to have somebody to look down on.
Who they can feel better than at anytime they please.
Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on.
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.

Get back, John!

Egg Head's cussin' Red Neck's cussin' hippies for their hair.
Others laugh at straights who laugh at freaks who laugh at squares.
Some folks hate the whites who hate the blacks who hate the clan.
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand.

'Cos everybody's got to have somebody to look down on.
Who they can feel better than at anytime they please.

Help yourself, brother.
Help yourself, Reverend

And before God invented time, how did he do anything since cause and effect are dependent on time?

What if you have not sinned? What do you say? What advice are you given?

God is Omniscient so he knows what is going to happen before it happens, so why does he get "surprised, angry, and regretful" in the Bible?! In order to feel an emotion it has to sort of sneak up on you, like if I heard in 3 days I was going to get cussed out by some guy in a resturaunt, then when it actually happened I wouldn't be surprised or angry, just like, "hah, it did happen!" But God no only gets angry and surprised, he regrets his decisions?! Then if he regretted a decision perhaps he isn't omniscient or perfect. A personal God does not make sense to me. We are to him as ants are to us, why is God freaking out and killing kids over calling people baldies and among many other surprised angry violent acts and regretful decisions that his omniscient perfect God brings upon the world. He even had to search for Adam and Eve because he couldn't find them, and then got surprised when they ate the apple and punished everyone out of anger. Why?

Anyone explain that?!
