Religion & Spirituality - 27 July 2006

For non-Christians, how many of you play Dungeons and Dragons? Do you feel the old "OMG TEY JUMPED OFF ROOF CAUSE CHARACTER DIED! Oh and demons" arguement has added to the game by generating hype, or limited the production of the game? Is the religious movement related towards TSRs downfall?

And what type of character do you play? What edition? What's your HP? What's your best looking die like?

And, just to be weird: anyone a dungeons and dragons player that actually DOES think it's evil?

I have a cousin that is 16 and openly gay.
He does not know the lord & I know he will go to hell
if he is not saved, but he knows christianity is a
religion against homosexuality, so he has no desire to know
Jesus. How could I help him?

There was an article on livescience.com about how human arms and shark fins are made from the same genes. Which basically says that humans and sharks have a distant relative, just as apes, just as all life on this planet. Why can't people understand the beauty of that simple truth. How all of the biological life on this planet is made of the same stuff. Humans are the only species to achieve consciousness and some level of intelligence.

We are the ulitmate survivors. We survived, not by design, but with a lot of courage. An ever evolving mind and a little bit of luck too. (ex: If the dinosaurs were never wiped out, we wouldn't be here) There is something very humbling about that truth, revealed by science. Science is not a belief, it is a simple tool we humans use to observe the universe.

if you try to connect it with the bible. I can't recall how many times I have read "I have reviewed the theory of evolution it just doesn't make sense." Well theories weren't meant to include Cherubs, apple trees of knowledge and divine supernatural magic. If you want to believe it fine, but don't obstruct the scientific world with your beliefs that man was created magically from clay.

Whatever you want to call him, just know that he is a jealous and bloodthirsty(but later became loving) God who sent his son Jesus Christ and brother Holy Birdie Chirpie to give us salvation. By accepting Jesus as our God and Saviour(and also his step-brother Holy Birdie) we will have eternal life. Real question is have you accepted Jesus and His Uncle and His Father The JEALOUS OLDIE as your personal God and saviour?
Christian pagans answer plz. if u can't

The Bible talks about scoffers coming asking "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."

Is it possible that this is because it isn't a Pre-Tribulation Rapture that Left Behind and other Biblical scholars prefer, but a Mid- or Post-Trib Rapture? Tell me what you think.

Since satan is an evil on earth, why God don't eliminate it & make the world more peaceful to stay? (I believe God have the power to do so)..
Why let satan live for so many years & created all sorts of evil things & make human being suffer?

I was an unbeliever most of my life. I received the Holy Spirit and everything changed. I wasn't talked into it and I was actually alone. I wasn't even in a church. It happened so quickly but felt longer. Ever since I have a unbelievable love for Jesus. That is why I hear everyone analyzing the Bible and intellectualizing the "beliefs" but it is of the spirit.

Ok so what if Jesus said "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, but Teach a man to fish and he eats for life." You put a decal/metal thing on your car where the make and model are that denote a jesus fish with a cross for eyes.

Does that make someone superior? It's just logic, the saying. I think it is bunk!! If you ask me, the principle is political and Libertarian more than anything, not spiritual or godly...

Three years back a Christian preacher managed to convert a stupid friend of mine(he was stupid back then). What made him convinced was the statement of the preacher:"Are you sure that you will go to heaven if you die today? Take refuge now to our Lord Jesus and you are saved".
My friend cried and became a Christian and ask the preacher to say something to him. That preacher told him" Hallaluulluah!! Jesus
my Lord--you are now filled with Holy Spirit and He will always guide you and you are assured Salvation.
Three years later:
My friend pissed on the Bible yesterday.
Strange???

Is it so that no one can be help accountable to the untruths that their magazines and 'bible' teach?
Look at a 'new world translation' 'bible'.
In the concordance you will find the words of Jesus:
"Verily, verily I say unto you,"
But on the cross:
"Verily, verily I say unto you today,"
They move the comma, to twist the real meaning, it is the only verily, verily where they move the comma and then built a false doctrine around it!
like the guy on the cross with Christ needed to be told, by Christ, that he was speaking TODAY!
Was that guy going to be confused?
Oh, you are telliing me today. I thought you were telling me last week, thanks for clearing that up!
ABSOLUTELY NO SCHOLARSHIP EVER WENT INTO 'TRANSLATING' THE 'NWT BIBLE'!
Charles Russell was excommunicated (kicked out/defrocked) by two mainline Christian denominations for heresy because he started teraching from his personal tastes of what GOD should be, not from the bible!

Google Charles Taze Russell
It is true!!!

but if the devil is the most evil> Why would the worst people endure the most torture, and the less evil people would endure less torture when the ruler loves evil> Wouldn't the most evil people be treated better because they are his children? and the less evil be tortured worse because they are not an asset to him?

I hear over and over how the Bible doesn't make sense. What is the ulternative? I am trying to understand the other point of view. Even before I became a christian I still believed in a Higher Power. I think I still thought of some kind of after life. Some accountablity. I am wondering what the beliefs are.

Willys cynical thought for the day;

Never buy a coffin without a freaking lifetime guarantee!

These lyrics mean a lot to me; and a lot of his other songs, He was one of the early Blues based White Boys, starting out in the early 60s he was born in Pomona California in 1949 though I always see his home given as Minneapolis. He is setting off on tour soon if he plays near ya I'd definately go see him, but he isn't gonna play the 'Big Cities' so I may miss him. This is song 2 of the CD "Blood Money" released in 2002 on the Anti sub-label of Epitaph Records. Read the lyrics and imagine Tom Waits singing and playing this on piano. His voice has been described as; as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, as well as his experimental tendencies and a love of pre-rock Americana styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona.

EVERYTHING GOES TO HELL

By Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 2000

Why be sweet, why be careful, why be kind?
A man has only one thing on his mind!
Why ask politely, why go lightly, why say please?
They only want to get you on your knees!
There's a few things that I never could believe;

A woman when she weeps,
A merchant when he swears!
A thief who says he'll pay,
A lawyer when he cares!
A snake when he is sleeping,
A drunkard when he prays!
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good,
And everything goes to hell, anyway!

Laissez-faire mi amour, ce la vie,
Shall I return to shore or swim back out to sea?
The world don't care what a sailor does in town,
It's all hanging in the windows by the pound!
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good,
Everything goes to hell, anyway!

I only want to hear you purr and to hear you moan,
You have another man who brings the money home!
I don't want dishes in the sink,
Don't ask me what I feel or what I think!
There's a few things that I never could believe;

A woman when she weeps,
A merchant when he swears!
A thief who says he'll pay,
A lawyer when he cares!
A snake when he is sleeping,
A drunkard when he prays!
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good,
Everything goes to hell, anyway!

Everything goes to hell, anyway,
Oh, everything goes to hell, anyway!!!...
