Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2006

Please tell me what you would do in the following hypothetical situation.

Your strolling downtown throught the sidewalks of New York. As you walk past an ally, you notice that some thugs are beating someone up. One of the thugs is standing at the ally-street crossway shooting dirty looks at anyone who takes attention. Your cellphone is dead and the only payphone you can see is right in front of the thug.

Please answer the following:

1) what art thy religious beliefs, or lack there of?
2) what would thou doest?
(be honest brothers and sisters, for ye art representatives of thine faiths)

In case you don't know, the buddhist analects are the stories of Buddha's life. If anyone happens to know where I can find either a website or a book that contains all of the analects could you please let me know? Thanks!

Please tell me what you would do in this hypothetical situation.

Your at the local K-mart, buying clothes. Maybe it's some sandals, maybe its some hot pants, I don't care, you decide. Any ways, you look all over for the right size and can't find it anywhere. Suddenly, you see the exact pice of clothing with the perfect size in someone else's shopping cart. The person is in the changing room.

Answer the following:

a) your religion or lack thereof
b)what would thou doest?
(be honest brothers and sisters, you're representatives for your belief system)

I asked what muslims do for the good of mankind . All I got was told how horrible I was and that I am a biggot.Not one person out there could just answer the question.Why not seize the opportunity to change peoples prespective on you. Your retaliation to the question only convinces people more that your all nuts .I would welcome those that want to ask questions concerning my faith, and yes christians also have things to be ashamed of.

Taken off money?

It was only added to paper money in the 1950s to combat the "godless commies" in Russia. Cold war is over people. Why should the government support only a select religion?

How would you like it if "In Allah we trust", "In Budda we trust", "In Zeus/Jupiter we Trust" or something of that like was on our money? All of a sudden you'd be like "No No, we can't have that on our money!"

THIS COUNTRY ISN'T A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. OUR FORFATHERS DIDN'T ESTABLISH THIS COUNTRY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OR ANY OTHER RELIGION.

Give me a GOOD reason we as Americans should support a select religion, namely your religion, and delcare all others as inferior.

who would be there to adopt all the unwanted babies? will people who want it outlawed be willing to do it? or would these kids just fill up the orphanages or be shuffled through foster care? do you think a lot of the kids would end up being special needs children since mothers of unwanted children may not to take care of themselves while pregnant (lessening their chances of being adopted)?

it seems to me like if this were to happen it could have the potential of creating a lot more suffering in the world.
what do you think?

...just to let you know, i don't think abortions should be used as a form of birth control and i think that if young women were to be well educated on the abortion process it could steer them away from being risky in their sexual practices. but if it does happen, then that person should have the right to choose.

MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS!! I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU TO HELP ME!! WILL YOU DO IT?

THE ARMY OF GOD NEEDS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO RECAPTURE THE HOLY LAND JERUSALEM. THE INFIDELS HAVE DESECRATED THE HOLY CROSS.
THE INFIDELS HAVE DESECRATED THE HOLY BIRTH PLACE OF OUR LORD!!!
WE SHALL TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOLY LAND AND FREE OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS OF JERUSALEM FROM HANDS OF THE HEATHENS AND INFIDELS.

YOUR SINS WILL BE ERASED AND THE LORD WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO.
WE WILL ALL BE REWARDED FOR THIS GREAT CAUSE AND SHALL LIVE AN ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN BESIDE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

TO KILL AN INFIDEL IS NOT MURDER!! IT'S A PATH TO HEAVEN.

PRASIE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS!!!!

Or better yet, does he believe people exist?, for after all, earth is only a grain of sand on all the beaches of the world.

So how do you explain the duck-billed platypus, the long-gone Neanderthals, OJ Simpson being acquitted, Clinton being elected TWICE, and the irreversible edicts of Murphy's Law?

Has anyone been in this situation or similar to it? I am a devout, practicing Catholic and refuse to sacrifice my soul but I also don't want to harm my marriage. We have been married 12 years and have 3 kids. I love him so much but he's not Catholic and does not understand or appreciate our position on birth control.

Someone told me that they get hundreds or a thousand people, inspectors and all, and they actually break ground Friday afternoon and are done by Sunday evening. Anybody ever heard of that?

I shall tell you a truth.
I stared at the Sun to see who was pushing it. I saw nothing.

BUT...

When I looked away, THERE WERE SQUIGGLY LINES AND BLOBS BEFORE MY VERY OWN EYES!!!!!!
Now, if that wasn't the Flying Spaghetti Monster(pbuhna)then I don't know WHAT it was...I cannot think of another explaination so it MUST have been The Great One of many Appendages!!! The squiggly lines were His many Pasta Appendages, don't you see!?? Hallelujah!!!
Those who do not believe, refuse to only because you did not see! If you saw but STILL did not believe, it was because you could NOT understand unless you BELIEVE!!!

Don't try and fool me with your fancy "scientific" mumbo jumbo, because you won't fool me...I SAW it, so there! There were Meatballs and everything!

How much more proof could you POSSIBLY need, for Parmesan's sake!!???
