Religion & Spirituality - 1 August 2006

Why is it that whenever a Pagan is mentioned, they get slated for it on this forum, or get somebody lecturing them and trying to convert them.
We are NOT bad people, and we do not sacrifice goats and kill babies! Instead, we care just as much about our world as you do, and the people in it. When we dedicate ourselves, usually we make a vow to help people around us. Does this really sound like a 'devil worshipper'? (Actually, many Pagans don't even believe in Satan or the devil because these are Christian inventions and have nothing to do with us.)
Pagans, Christians, and other religious people have a lot in common. We ALL get insulted by a minority of people for our beliefs, so why can't we all stick together?
If you don't dislike Pagans, then don't worry, I'm not having a go at you, and there's no need to get involved in this, but if you do, then please could you give me a good reason why? And if you are Pagan, then please could you share your views on this subject? Thank you! ;-)

Why the current fashion on TV of exclaiming 'Oh my God', as though God had just appeared before them? Most of the folks who do this wouldn't know God from Old Nick (as neither frequent Big Brother, Love Island or similar moronic programmes.)

Why are so many people choosing ignorance instead of self-discovery?

Do people realise that WE are causing the problems on Earth, and its about time we started being far more responsible and effective in our attempts to communicate with one-another?

if god is just 'testing' me the why does my baby girl have to suffer and not me if i am the one he is 'testing' is this gods way of saying that he has power over us and he can do as he pleases and we have to bow down to him so we don't go to hell, what does he want us to prove? i think it is b*llocks and if anyone needs to prove themselves then it should be him to me, because he has never done anything to help me he has just made me and my family and loved ones suffer, and for what? because he is 'testing' me. well if this is what god is about then i don't want to know and all you religious people can carry on letting this evil thing you call your 'god' to walk all over you and all the time he is laughing at you as you are on your knees praying for his love.

It would be wonderful if there really was a loving god up there to look after us, but atheists don't see any reason to believe that there is. Conversely, theists are dismayed by the idea that there might *not* be a loving god up there. Who's more likely to be deceiving themselves?

prefer passive obedience and acceptance to what you preach or intelligent discussion and possible disagrement from your community.
When replying please state why? and whether you have a religious belief and if so what.

then why does he allow children to be badly hurt or killed in accidents and bombings in these stupid wars, or in my case why does he allow children like my own to be born with disabilities and have to endure phisical and mental pain every waking day? and why did he take my big brother away from me at the age of 21? answer that, if i ever did have a faith in god then it has most certainly GONE FOREVER. what is the point of people praying when there is nobody listening.

John Lennon once famously said:

"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. ... I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."

(Source of quote: Wikipedia).

This one sounds ripe for discussion! Were (or are) the Beatles bigger than Jesus?!?

I use to be a christian, I am now an atheist, so I have heard that these peoples posed theological problems for christianity, even today it still poses problems for their doctorines.
what do Muslims have to say about where all the 'races' came from etc. How the natives got to their lands? Did the natives originate in their lands? what muslims have to say about people who would never hear the words of the prophet? Would Muslims have saught to convert all the native people, do they need it etc? Do muslims accept evolution theory?
If you can cover these answers that would be great. sorry there are alot of questions.

earlier on i've post a question regarding this:
"assuming if you happen to see him in person (not knowing he is a magicial & he did not identified he is a magicial) & he is walking across a river, when you approach him & he cliam that he is one of God's son that come to the world to save ppl, will you believe him & become his fellower?"

Answer i hv got mostly are negative...

Now, most of the christain strongly believe that Jesus will be back some day (they said according to the Bible). So, if he really come back in this world now & he cliam he is Jesus, WILL YOU BELIEVE HIM???
