Even if you don't understand reincarnation or the other possibilities, seriously think about this one. Just letting you know that you could never be anywhere you wouldn't want to be. Sure you could argue, I don't like school, work, the POW camp. But it seems like the mental state was always yours to alter the perception. They can't take that ability from you. You may see something as evil, but I see it as good. It just has to be understood. Things we are figuring out now through science seemed evil before we learned about them and looked deep enough.

I heard many Muslims say that Islam have been trying to end slavery (for more than 1400 years). However, I found many prophetical statements (Hadith) told by prophet Muhammed that threatens any slave who tries to escape slavery that god would send him to hell and would never accept any of his/her good deeds!

Some of those Hadiths can be found in Sahih Muslim (101) and Musnad Ahmad (18446). Can anyone tell me how come Muslims say that Islam was trying to end slavery while those statements were given by prophet Muhammad?

Do you feel as if someone is a homosexual, no matter if they believe in and worship jesus, that their soul will burn in eternal flames and agony for thier homosexuality? . As if god ignores thier belief in him and only focuses on thier homosexuality to send them to hell. Im only 16 and i wanted to get a few opinions on this issue, becuase if that were the case, then if you lied and repented, couldnt god ignore your repent of your sin to send you to hell?

The person who actually tasted the kiwi fruit or other people who have never tasted it but have studied what others say is the fundamental truth about kiwi fruit and what it's like and all the attributes of the kiwi fruit? If a person is convinced that the belief he has about what a kiwi fruit tastes like is the same thing as actually tasting the kiwi fruit, how do you get them to go past belief and look to actually taste the kiwi?

9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

Acts 1:9-11 (New King James Version)

everytime i ask a question about christianity or catholicism not one person who is of either faith actually READS THE QUESTION. they post un-answers filled with a bunch on non-sensical accusations and insults like i'm the stupid one when they are the ones getting all wound up over a book they can't even agree on reading the same copy of. not to mention they can't confirm or validate the source or any of the authors. you are chasing myths like romans so blindly that it prevents you from thinking outside the box. when someone challenges your system with facts all you can think to do is challenge them radther than look at the facts and formulate a reasonable explaination for why it is the way it is. i don't care why you are a christian or catholic or why you believe what you believe but what i do care about is how it affects you reason and logic. so my question is why can't christians or catholics come up with a REAL answer for anything? it's funny because your probably wont have one now.

Do you think people would do the same thing they did 2000 years ago and kill the messenger and then change the message and put it down in writing? If Jesus told us all are saved, would we react egotistically and selfishly and respond with anger like the 'good' son in the Prodigal Son parable who didn't like the idea of Uncondtional Love and its all-inclusivity?

I just watched the movie with a brand new set of eyes today. Your thoughts? I love the part when they touch and absorb each other's experience, now that's genius.

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7 (New King James Version)


How come some Christians interpret this literally and ignore the evidence of Evolution?

If Rev 7:1 and Rev 20:8 aren't supposed to be literal in saying the Earth has four corners, is it possible that Genesis 2:7 isn't supposed to be literal either?

Experience meaning a real, direct, mind-altering, beyond-belief, beyond-dualism experience of God. If someone has that experience of God and says that God is nothing like the ego-projected god in the bible, the Koran, etc., should we take notice? Or do we reject it, dismiss it, or 'kill the messenger' and change the message like we di with Jesus?

How ironic. I left the catholic church over 35 years ago, journeying seriously and found I was a Wiccan because of its values. Unfortunately, the Pagan community is overrun by bullies, christians, republicans and various kinds of idiots who do everything but revere Mother Earth and seek balance and harmony. My contention that peace and love is still a radical idea seems to ring true. In this world crime and violence and war are considered more normal than peace and love. I'd love however, to be shown wrong. Anyone else really interested in this? And I do mean real..not the plastic hypocricy of christians led like sheep who don't know how to use their own brains. But people who can think for themselves. Can you resist the mainstream culture of violence, bullying and really get into peace and love? I'd love to hear about it.

I mean, what would be the point? He just created us, then just sits back and lets us do whatever we please?

Think of it this way: Do you let your children do whatever the hell they want? NO!! Of course not. Chaos would ensue.

Leviticus chapter 13 says "if a man lies with a man as with a woman or a woman lies with a woman as with a man, its an abomination to God."

being Jewish was a big step for me to believe Moses "The life of the flesh is in the blood and its been given for an atonement for your souls" Isaiah showed how Jesus would complete it -and not make Moses and God liars-when our temple was destroyed-and Judaism either accepts the Messiah or rejects Judaism and Moses and Isaiah-chapter 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 "He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man-and lay down his life as an atonement for sins"
i read Revelation 3 vs 19&20 that the Messiah Jesus knocks on our heart to come in deliver from sins and becomem our friend" so i prayed- "Im sorry for my sins, come into my heart, help me do better, be my friend, amen" and it worked and deamons or whatever couldnt get me to keep sinning and im happier than ever now- a true Jew with our Jewish messiah as promised-thank you and pray forMe2

Ok im a christian so i do believe in god. You know how it says in the bible if you understood who god was youd die.
I think i have a good idea who god is. You see. Everybody believes there is a higher being out there and god wants you to think thats true, but what if god has a father, imagine knowing that feeling. But then who would his father be. It would have to go on families by families, till you realize. Theres something wrong with this picture. You see, i came up with a theory where we actually live in a huge area where there is a dense amount of gravity near the sun. I believe that in 1000 years from now. when the moon finally escapes our gravitational pull, we will be drawn in closer to the sun, which i must add would increase the density which would rip a hole in time and space and lead us to heaven.
What you think of my theory
