Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2006

I have been dipping for 14 years and want to stop. I have prayed for God to take away the cravings but they have not stopped. I hear the stories of how God removes the addiction from alcoholics, smokers, drug attics, etc... Does anyone have a real life story of God working wonders to remove an addiction?

Everyone knows Matt 7:1 Judge not but do you know what that section of scripture is really about?
Taking this scripture in proper context, it is talking about not judging while being guilty yourself. Don’t be a hypocrite.

Exodus 21 makes it clear that we ARE to judge! 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Leviticus 24: " 'If anyone takes (steals) the life of a human being, he must be put to death.

I've always had it in my head that one day, probably in our lifetimes, satan will send his minions in the form of the living dead and we will all perish.

Sorry I haven't been on much today.

Anyways, what the whole slaughter method for Muslims, and are kittends considered kosher to Muslims? What if they've been sexually promiscuous?

Not metaphorically but actually be in heaven right now and still breathe? Is part of me already there? Can I pull my idea of heaven from my mind into the right-here/right-now? How would this work?
Also, do the heaven(s?) connect?
Just a thought I had on the drive home.

Can they produce evidence and show us the "common ancestor" that both apes and men evolved from, and tell us where that creature came from? More, can they produce evidence and show us the first living creature, and tell us where it came from?
If they can, why have they not done so?
If they cannot, what makes evolution more valid than Intelligent Design?
Shouldn't our children be trusted to make intelligent choices for themselves based on ALL the evidence??

I am a LDS church member (Mormon) and I really don't get it. I've been a member all my life, and I see nothing wrong with their teachings. Sure, it's different. Sure, we believe in the Book of Mormon, written by a Latter-Day Prophet named Joseph Smith, but people act like we're a disease. I suppose it would fit into the 'fear what you don't know' category there, but really; I get along with so many people. I'm not mean, judgemental, hypocritcal or any of those lables 'Mormons' seem to get.

I also dislike the fact that people seem so quick to believe in that 'all about mormons' episode of South Park or any other resource they can get their hands on, but not ask a real, devoted, mormon. Come on. It's South Park; a cartoon made to make people laugh.

So please, explain to me what is so wrong about my faith. I'd really like to know why I'm so insane and stupid for believing in it. Thank you.

"Our first work must be the annihilation of everything as it now exists. The old world must be destroyed and replaced by a new one. When you have freed your mind from the fear of god, and that childish respect for the fiction of right, then all the remaining chains that bind you - property, marriage, morality and justice - will snap asunder like threads"

What is your opinion on this thought. I am confused as to what it is that atheist believe. They claim to believe that God does not exist however that statement is contradictory. By denying His existence, you are acknowledging Him. What does everyone else think?

we all suffer, I believe in suffering because it brings me closer to a God of Love and sufferings bring us closer together, suffering is very important, I really want to suffer for the sufferings of others and I would be eternally gratefull if as many people as possible could pray that I will for that cause.

If St. Gabriel were to have a symbol on his chest, what would that be? I ask, because I'm trying to describe him in a book I'm working on.

No Intelligent Design (aka creationism) promoter even ATTEMPTED to explain their hypocritical position that ID should be taught as an alternative to evolution, but that FSM should not.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060826105943AAxBti0&r=w

Two people gave the question a "thumbs down" but obviously didn't or COULDN'T! respond with an answer.

Are they admitting that their position on ID and FSM is arbitrary and hypocritcal, by not even trying to defend it?



No wonder that the ID movement has pretty much packed it in and given up on the whole thing.




Oh, one guy just gave it a shot, but didn't even seem to understand the issue, since he addressed the theory of abiogenesis rather than evolution.
Given that abiogenesis and evolution are completely different things (and the validity of the one does not rest on the other)... well, this "answer" was irrelevant.

I remember 10-20 years ago, all the Conservatives said porn proliferation would lead to more sex crimes. Well, broadband internet has practically made porn mainstream these days, with Jenna Jamison being a household name.

Has rape statistics risen over the last 15-20 years? Nope.

Ever since 1973, when the Justice Dept, started keeping statistics on rapes, there have been about 1.5-2.5 rapes per 1000 people.
Ever since 1995 when the Internet started to boom, rapes have steadily dropped from 1.5 to 0.9 to 0.6 and finally in 2004 it was 0.4 rapes per 1000 people.

Conservatives are wrong about social cause-and-effects time and time again. But they still think they are RIGHT.
