Religion & Spirituality - 6 August 2006

It seems like every Christian or Church I've come across who's fellowship has done the Rick Warren book(s) has fallen into church splits & a type of New Age contemplative, watered down Social Gospel.

Seriously, someone posted as to why Christians in general answer always with something about God.I can not answer for all but I believe Faith is 24/7 and colors all we do, say, and believe. I do not insult others, and respect their beliefs even when we do not agree but my faith is not part of who I am but who I am.What are your thoughts on this?

Israel is smaller than the state New Jersey.. lebanon is 50% christianity... Israel biggest city is Tel Aviv which is near to the northern border.... Consider if Iran and Syria equip hezbollah with 600,000 rockets that will be enough to destroy whole Israel.. in reply Israel will just destroy lebanon which is smaller than connecticut... so there will be no jewish state but still 55 muslim nations... so i think israel should not attack.. america should stop its Israel from fighting?

total jewish population = 15 million
total islamic population= 2 billion

It seems to me that most people who post questions about religion are merely seeking to insult others and get affirmation about their own views, as opposed to actually asking valid questions. Atheists pose questions to Believers, and then turn around and pick an answer that was supplied by another atheist! Believers post questions the allegedly challenge atheists, but are actually just thinly disguised invitations to damnation. Why don't these people just post "Why am I so great and all the people who think differently than me so dumb?" It would save us all a lot of time!

Sorry to rant, but I am Catholic and enjoy discussions based on beliefs, and have studied much of religious history. I had hoped ot find more opportunities to do so on this site, but what I find much more of is uselss insults, faulty logic, and mindless jabberings on both sides!

israel is facing difficulty facing hezbollah, how come it will be able to face syria, iran, emirates and pakistan? and on the other hand germans are also willing to smoke israel... as they already killed 6,000,000 jews courtesy of HITLER!
why hitler was such a bad man? he said if we fire at a jew it will be a waste of a bullet so he gassed them.. i feel sorry for jews but are jews here in this world for dying? or they are really bad people? but not to forget Hitler had just 1 testii.. and her mother thought of aborting him before his birth.. but that ******* doctor stopped her..!

I am an athiest and I love a good debate but hate debating with people that bring God into the argument. As far as I'm concerned you lose the validility of your point when you bring Jesus/God/Religion into it because not everybody believes in it. Saying to be Gay is wrong because God said so is bull, to say having mixed race babies is wrong because God says so is again bull.... there is no foundation or validation for your argument - there is just no proof! Until God comes down and says "here I am, everything in the bible is true. My word is bond. Jesus exists etc" you just cannot use that as your standpoint to argue certain things.

"Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America"
What did Billy Graham do exactly? I know he is a preacher but could he be the antichrist?

She is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles, speaking on Al Jazeera television about the "clash of civilizations". I'm not trying to insult any religion or group of people, just trying to stimulate some good natured debate.

Do people from different believes, doesn't matter if its Christianity, atheism, agnostic, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc try to convert others because they care about the people who surround them, or just to prove that they are right and the best?

Instead of preaching to the choir, and trying to convert everyone and their mothers to become churchgoers, why don't you actually do something productive like helping people that are suffering. Sure some churches do clothing drives and canned food drives every once in a while, but come on... 2 hours every sunday could be time much better spent, such as helping people in jail, people on drugs, etc.

But no, you spend your time judging and condemning such people, from the safety of your churches, instead of helping them, the way Jesus went around spending his time.

Jesus didn't spend his Sundays dressing up and singing songs in beautifully furnished temples. In fact, one of the few times he went to Church, he trashed the place.

Get your head out of your a$$es, you so called 'Christians'.

One night I woke up in the middle of the night and right next to my bed over my head were a beautiful bouquet of roses suspended in the air. I kept staring at them and they kind of faded away and disappeared. I did not think too much about it. I thought maybe I was still dreaming or seeing things. But then I heard on John Edwards that our loved ones show us roses or we smell roses when our loved ones on the other side are trying to contact us and tell us that they love us. Was I being contacted?

1. In a debate, Atheists have to have all the answers or else they would claim we're wrong

2. In a debate, God believers dont have to say anything but "I have faith" They're not expected to have any answers

3. If a God believer does something wrong, it's because nobody's perfect.

4. If an Atheists does something wrong, it's because he doens't believe in God(That's what some God believers will claim)

5. Holding Atheists to higher standars only makes us smarter and better people

THANKS FOR HOLDING ATHEISTS TO HIGHER STANDARDS

I thought religion of any sort was supposed to bring out the best in humans , instead we kill and maim in GOD'S name ,no matter what name you have for God , tis can't be right. I'm I the only one who feels that religious war is an oxymoron?

Are we not above this at this time of man?, By the way what religion are you? Also, we all need to realize that in the U.S. at least you have the freeedom to be what you want to be, and not killed for being different as you would in THOSE countries. We all need to chill man the earth has bigger problems such as warming and we are not helping by doing test bombings in oceans, no one should have the right to do that, DO YOU AGREE?
