Religion & Spirituality - 24 August 2006

Is it only happening or beginning to happen because people are willing it to?
Surely we could argue it isn't, but since the idea of a massive catastrophe manmade or natural is on so many minds, is that what they are working towards?
Are preventitive measures possible when it seems there is no other possible alternative?
Could the religion the masses follow be accredited towards the death of life?
Could this be very frustrating to optimists?
Is victimization associated with apocalyptism(?)?

Because this word keeps getting thrown around and I don't understand the emotive attachment people are having with it.

Isn't the core of Christianity that Jesus already paid for them?

I have a son with this man, and he does nothing when it comes to helping me support my son. He's cheated on me nurmerous times and had 3 kids while we were together, yet and still I was still by his side hoping that he would change. One day i finally got tired because I'm a beautiful woman and i know i deserve better, but it's still so hard to let go especially living in Madison; it's a small town to me because I'm always running into him with women and my son is with me most of the time. It's just embarrasing. How could you hurt somebody you love. This relationship has made it so hard for me to give someone else a chance to luv me because i don't trust men now. I know i need to love myself and not allow anyone to take advantage of me like that again. Some days are good but some days are tough especially when people bring up his name. I hate him, but i know i must forgive him because I'm a Christian woman. This has been so hard for me and my son.

In my opinion these religious battles can be ended in peace, if the world agrees to arrange peaceful discussions over Religion.
Why is everyone in the world puzzled about his/her religion, why are humans misled.
Science and technology is developing day by day, but no one is paying attention about the religion and yet they are killing other innocent human beings in the name of Religion.

I was a wreck before coming to know Christ. And since that fateful day I have grown up and become a nicer overall person, except I still, after 2 years, am struggling with alcohol, lust, language, and other things. I just want to become the man I know I can be, but trying doesn't seem to get the job done. Any help?

Is it so foreign a thought to a Christian to think that perhaps someone has neither an urge to believe in a divine being nor a belief in one?

I do not believe in a god of any kind, by any name. I have no 'inner prompting' that I should be seeking one. I do not hate God, Yahweh or otherwise, because to hate a god I would have to acknowledge one exists. I am not afraid of Hell nor hopeful for Heaven because I don't believe these places exist. I don't believe it on the surface, and I don't believe it 'deep down'. To believe one thing on the surface but another 'deep down' would be hypocracy.

I live as moral a life as I can because we evolved to be social creatures and altruism is a pro-adaptive trait in social creatures. I do not need a divine being to convince me of the advantages of being moral.

Some Christians are content to accept that I believe what I believe. But honestly, what's up with the other Christians who need to make me 'believe' in their eyes?

Or is it under the implied condition that it depends on the charity of others (that God uses people to fulfill His plans, but sometimes the people let God down and then God is unable to fulfill his plans).

How can an innocent little Baptized baby die of starvation, because of the noncharity of men? God knows ever hair on our heads, wouldn't He be able to foresee that man would fail and let the baby starve? If not, then how can God give us this blanket statement, that we will always be fed and clothed, and expect us to trust Him?

Do you think that if most people who think they want enlightment and to see everything clearly really knew what was in store for them, they would still pursue this exalted state?

I would start this path again if I had to make the choice but who else would?

If God is so Almighty and such, why would he have some children suffer by meaning abused so severly it hurts them later on in their lives? In my eyes no one should have to go through that, whether it is a plan or not.

Agnostic here, not wanting to convert anyone, anyone is free to answer but I'm not converting to any other religion.

I have a wife, who believes in Jesus, but in reincarnation, and believes I'm her soul mate, but that she will be reborn and have other husbands or wives, thus more than one soul mate.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I am of the belief my soul travels to the stars above after I die.

Can my soul meet up with my wife, and other persons, whom I love while I was on Earth?

Can my soul meet up and date other women in space? Can my soul brink beer from a beer volcanoe after I die with other men and women?

What does your heart tell you?
