Religion & Spirituality - 23 August 2006

I have consulted with several Rabbis about this matter. Who will go to heaven according to Judaism and is conversion to Judaism necessary?
The answer I got is amazing. Unlike--Christianity or Islam--conversion is not necessary or even valid--because strictly speaking you have to be born a Jew. So, what about the rest of the people? Answer--They have to follow the Noahide Laws.
Do the Christians and Muslims follow these laws?
Answer--Only the Unitarian Christians and Muslims follow them
in general. Do you agree?

condemning there actions or reporting there question is there?

This question obviously strikes a cord with some of you because it has been reported even though it is not offensive. Isn't it funny how Christians try and cover up their evils?

Everybody refers to God as "He", which makes God a male. How do people know that God isn't a woman? I think the reason is that when the Bible was written, women weren't treated with a lot of respect. What do you think?

A lot of atheists pose questions in this group as they do not have their own group. Religion and spirituality has nothing to do with atheism but the atheists have nowhere else to go so they come here. In order to help them, I propose we all ask Yahoo to open a group for them so they can discuss their issues unabatedly and without being irritated by people who believe in God :)
What do you think about this?

You know what, I haven't been a Christian all of my life. Sometimes it's still hard for me to be like Christ and love and forgive all. Sometimes I just really get frustrated. I love all of you guys sinners, saints and the rest. Do you forgive me my transgressions? I'm being serious here. If not that's ok too. Peace.

Okay by saying there is no God(a being of infinate knowledge), you are saying that you have infinate knowledge of the nonexistance of a being of infinate knowledge(God)...

Okay don't get all confused...just think about it.

(sorry if I spelled anything wrong)

Oh and for the record, nonsensical ramblings and quotes from an outdated book of bronze-age jewish mythology do NOT count as "rational" nor do they count as an argument.
So, with that simple restriction in mind, I would like anyone to provide me with one single argument against same sex marriage.

Or do you simply not believe that same sex couples love each other the way that heterosexual couples do?

I recently came "out of the broom closet" with my parents. My dad doesn't care, but I think it bothers my (catholic) mom and she won't tell me. I she always talks about Wicca in a disgusted voice and ordered me not to bring any Wiccan "stuff" out into public. Is there any way I can show her that Wicca (and witchcraft) isn't that bad? I told her the basics of being a Wiccan, but I don't think that was enough.

PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN TRYING TO "SAVE" ME!!!

I learned good values as a kid going to church. I wonder if I could have learned good values by not going to church.

He is God after all... the best he could come up with was sending Jesus down to live for 33 years, then get crucified?

LOTS of people got crucified it was nothing new.

I am jewish by the strict definition (my mother is jewish, her mother is jewish, etc.). My wife is Catholic. We just gave birth to a boy. If my wife converts, is my son now considered Jewish also, or does he need to convert also?

If the world was convinced that some people are indeed born gay, then some would feel there is a need to protect homosexuals by the government as a designated minority class status, such as African- or Native-Americans. Slowly but surely, it seems the government is embracing this view and granting special rights to the homosexual community for what is a behaviorally based identity rather than a true genetic one.

Even if somewhere in the future a genetic link could be proven, it wouldn’t suddenly make the behavior right or acceptable to society.

I have been attacked for saying the same thing, but more and more information is coming out that proves why Jesus said those who claim to be Jews are not.

Did bible study ON MY OWN and saw that bibles are nonsense, ergo Jesus is a myth.

Now I feel better. Much improved health.
