Is confessing to a priest necessary?

Is confessing to a priest necessary?
Isn't confession to a priest an option? If you're sincerely sorry for your sins and confess them in your own heart, aren't you already forgiven?

Atheism v. Agnosticism?

I'm an atheist, but I've been thinking lately whether or not the more rational route to take is agnosticism.

(Christians, before you start spewing out your dogma, please realize that any admittance of uncertainty as to the existence of the supernatural puts me NO closer to admitting the existence of your convenient, schizophrenic, outdated, man-made god. Shoo.)

Anyway, I don't believe in a god because I think science does, or can, explain it all. But if there WERE something in existence that was above and beyond the laws of science - then it's very possible that we could neither conceive of nor perceive of it. Science is a field of hypotheses and theories - I think it 99% likely that the "supernatural" doesn't exist, *but if it did*, could we even know?

So...what I'm trying to say is, if we for the moment take the word "atheism" to mean not only disbelief in a god but disbelief in the supernatural, is it not better to say, we don't, and could never know? Convince me!

Is Heaven all that?

Is Heaven like a great place where you can do anything you want to do at any time? anything you want *Poof* it appears infront of you. You never have to work again in your life. Nobody tells you what you can or have to do? Is it a 24/7 Worship god for eternity?

Live is to be a gift from god but everwhere I look is hatred someone trying to backstab the other person, It's hard to get a nice job even with a Degree. Where someone else decieds my future by how much they want to pay me and if they want to hire me. I hate work and don't understand why I was put here to work the majority of my life. Sometimes just wish the world would end to go to heaven and go to a place where the people aren't crewl and trying to screw everybody else over.

I bet I'll get great responses with this one.?

Atheists are those who say that God does not exist. Agnostics are those who are not sure there is a God. The Apostle Paul wrote of such unbelievers (check out Romans 1:18-20). This passage teaches that no one can justifiably claim to be an atheist or agnostic. The creation itself is ample evidence that an all powerful God exists. Since the creation can be plainly seen by all, there is absolutely no excuse for their ignorance. Therefore, atheists can be justifiably condemned by God because they reject the plain evidence of His existence. God calls atheists "fools" (read Psalm 14:1).

Here's my can of worms I just opened for today. Discuss and share your thoughts. How do you feel about this? God bless each and every one of you.

In the Quran, does it really say people should kill other Christians?!!?

Im not sure about this but if this is true...it's like WHAT THE HELL! Who could possibly believe in such a thing? This is just very wrong. Thou Shall Not Kill. In the 9/11 the terrorists even believed they are doing what God wants them to do(kill). But of course that's NOT what God wants them to do. wow..i don't get it

An atheist asked me: "How much study have you put to decern whether bollywoks exist?"?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060803113206AADa0BV&cp=2&tp=2#all-answers

Since I am neither a vocal proponent nor a vocal opponent of the existence of bollywoks, I am not under any particular obligation to study them.

But you do raise an interesting point. If the Bible is not trustworthy as a source of information, as many atheists seem to be arguing today, then how can anyone be sure God doesn't exist? In other words, you might be able to say that the Biblical God doesn't exist, but what about non-Biblical conceptions of God?

Do you think that Jesus would be unhappy that his teachings became a religion?

I mean, he never wanted it to become a religion, he just wanted to teach others the will of god.

How to break this vicious link?

I have already placed this q. in "Relationships", but the answers seemed not to grasp what it was about. So I give it another try.

Every time when my husband and I have a row, he gets a text or a mail from his ex. This could not be a mere coincidence, because we are quarreling very rarely – 1-2 times a year. And every time there is a message from her.

It seems that this woman senses the moments when our relationship is most vulnerable. Or, maybe, she even causes it?

More details on the situation could be found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkbkhTZp_jGu6cgRcRdVO4jsy6IX?qid=20060731071916AAE3ZQQ (My question “What to do with a clingy ex?”)

And is the church dominated by Italians? Aren't they supposed to be the bad guys?

Oh...... And is it any wonder that they have the lance that pierced Jesus' side in the Vatican? Sure they have it, it was their lance!

'Jesus died to save our souls'? How does that work?

This is a sincere question. I am trying to understand this cornerstone of Christian faith.

What did Jesus save our souls from? Why did our souls need to be saved?
And how does Jesus dying save our souls from anything? Who gave us this deal?
Does it only apply to people that were alive during Jesus' time?

Will I go to Hell for no accepting Jesus as a GOD?!?

Jesus said ..."I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one comes to the Father except through me...."
Pftt, sounds more like Fraud to me no offence guys ;] !

I believe as long as you are an honest, nice and good person and accept your sins you will go to heaven, or atleast lead a good life.

:] !

Why do so many people think that those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their saviour , will not go to Heaven?

The new testament... Why did God contradict himself in so many ways, for God is PERFECT :O !
He ' created and sacrifices ' Jesus to forgive our sins , if of course, we pray to him for forgiveness.

I'm really confused here [ FRAUD LIES ], isn't GOD supposed to be number 1, not Jesus Christ?

We should pray to God for forgivness, not Jesus Christ.

Yes, I'm a jew.
No, I will not go to hell for not accept Jesus.

kthnx for your co-operation and Bless you all :D !!

Do all religions/people go to HEAVEN>?

this is my belief: all religions teach "good" things, which is pleasing to God, but at Judgement day EVERYONE will get a chance to accept or reject Jesus as lord and savior> The reason is that since God is INFINITE, we can NEVER "please" him enough..that is why I believe we need a savior (Jesus Christ) to ultimately get us into heaven. comments>>
