Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2006

Does anyone believe that the destruction of cities and villages in Lebanon, and the deaths of hundreds of innocent citizens including the use of cluster bombs on that population, will make a safer Israel, create more friendly neighbours?
Does anyone believe Bush when he says he will stay in Iraq till he has won the war, or his claim that the world is a safer place because he has removed Saddam Hussein? Is the US and Israeli policy of pre-emptive strikes the end of diplomacy; is it the new game of "lets have our own personal wars to solve our own domestic, security, popularity issues" and let the world community clean up and try to police the mess we leave behind? Or is it much more sinister even that that- that the world of power,affluence and control, is now creating ghettoes of poverty and further disillusionment and around the edges of the democratic bastions of civilization and that these will be copies of Afghanistan? Are we moving inexorably to Mad Max (movie)?

Out of pure curiosity I would like to know what religion, if any, I would classified under.I grew up Catholic until I was 10 or 11, and then a couple of years later tried going to a Christian church, but it just didn't feel right.

I believe in God strongly, and that he has a lot of power, but sometimes I wonder. Not about His existence, just that he might not be quite sure of what He's doing. The I think of a quote that says "If you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all." I guess that kind of restores my faith that He has an inkling of what He's doing.

I think that Jesus was an important figure in history, but sometimes I wonder if he's been built up through the ages to be more than he was. As for the Bible, I don't think it's much more than a historical reference, and a nice guide as to how to live your life in a good way, but other than that, I don't think the people who wrote it had any divine help.

So, based on my beliefs, what would I be?

Moses said we have to have a blood atonement to forgive our sins- "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and ive given it upon the altar to make atonement for your sins."

Isaiah showed the Messiah would be Jesus and the atonement for sins in His blood--"He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and will lay down his life as an atonement for sins."

1 Messiah 2 commings the first for the blood atonement and to give inner shalom/salom/peace. the second to bring judgement and peace to all who believe in Him.

I did what Jesus said to do-"Behold i stand at your heart door and knock, if u let me in to forgive sins, i will come in and become your friend to help you."

so i prayed and got the Messiah in my heart-not just for my Jewish people but for Muslims and all people---Jesus you said i could let you in my heart to forgive my sins, im sorry for them, come in and forgive me and help me, be my friend, amen. and it worked wonderfull-as Isaiah and Moses said!ty!

Please read the following hypothetical situation and then tell me how you would react:

Pretend you're a brainiac. All your co-workers love you and you help them frequently. You work in a science lab. Your company agrees to run IQ tests on all its empolyees for a research program. The results will be announced publicly. A friend of yours, Dr. Helsinki, says that if you take his IQ test for him, he'll get u a date with his hot sister/brother. You're extremely attracted to Dr. Helsinki's sibling, and have loved them from the moment you saw them, but they're clueless. The company will NEVER find ourt you took the test for Dr. Helsinki.

Please answer the following questions:

1) Where doth thy faith (or lack thereof) lie?
2) What wouldest thou do?
(please be honest brothers and sisters, you're representatives to thy faiths)

We are getting married and have discussed the difference between our religons, and he reassures me that we wont have problems -- even though there is a huge difference between the two religons... We are having a simple civil ceremony (and i know that his family is dissapointed with that --- as he will not been able to be sealed in the temple). We have also discussed the upbringing of future childeren (baptisim at birth or at 8yrs of age, alcholol, coffee / tea consumpution, dressing appropriately etc the list does go on). We love each other very much and have worked through our problems to date. But im very worried that this will soon change once we are married. What do you think?

Religious people often say that they talk to God, and hear God’s voice through their prayers. Most intelligent people know that when we hear voices or talk to fantasies in our mind, that such behaviour is the result of a mental disorder. This is much the same way as talking to aliens on spaceships, chatting to voices in your head, and numerous other similar mental problems.

It’s well known through Yahoo Answers that I am trying to find a cure for religious madness and help free people from the “blissful” but nonetheless mentally handicapped world they live in. This whole process, although very time consuming, will ultimately help our younger generation and bring greater happiness to our world, without the need for the slaughter of innocent men, women and children by organised religion.

Religious people, when you talk to your God, or listen to your God, can you try and explain what you hear and feel at the time. I’d greatly appreciate your input to my research studies.
