Religion & Spirituality - 28 August 2006

According to the Bible, god lies to Adam and Eve and tells them that the fruit of the tree of knowledge will kill them, also god allows Job to be tourtured and to have everything he holds dear to him striped away, because god makes a bet with satan. If these things are true than how can we trust him on any other issue?

Excluding creation, because it cannot be proved that he didn't just take credit for something he didn't create, what has god ever really done that was in the interest of mankind and not himself?

Note: I have nothing against christianity or any other religion, I'm asking this on a purely theological basis. Also I would appreciate it if people did not answer with anti-christian statments or statements about how I need to have a better relationship with god. Jesus and I have an understanding and I would appreciate it if people didn't try and agitate the relationship.

Ladies only. I don't like hairy bums or trannies. I need a woman who will do anything I want whenever I say so. Im not interested in women who think or have opinions. Women with brains or goals need not apply. You must be able to convince me that my unit is the biggest you've ever seen, and you must cover every square inch of your body in the presence of another man so that I don't get jealous and lose my temper. Armpit hair is a plus.

Now, how can you resist Mr. Mo?

There is always a nagging feeling in the back of people's minds calling them away from God. Believers dismiss this as the devil trying to tempt them away from God. However, isn't this more like the mind seeking equilibrium and balance? The mind knows that this makes no sense and cannot be true and so it seeks to right itself. Our minds have righted themselves of many things in our years, fairies, goblins, dragons, santa claus, elves, honest politicians...... is this not just our minds attempt to convince us to see the truth?

Also, if you have read the Miracle Detective by Randall Sullivan I would like comments on that as well.

do you think that stoic or any other greco-roman school of philosophy would have evolved like a buddhist school? Buddhism spread all over Asia. Could greco-roman schools spread all over europe? Changing itself to the different cultures it got in contact with, like buddhism did. Before the greco-roman schools where stomped out.

how come you cant mind your own business? i believe in god and my relationship with him is none of your business. you are not suppose to judge me it says that right there in your book. how come you are so quick to judge others? if some one wants to worship god but still does things that you are against you manipulate the bible and tell them they are going to hell. its none of your business. each person has thier own relationship with god and who are you to say that your relationship with god is better then somebody elses? please explain this to me without filling up the page with bible versus.

Okay, I'm on a holiday kick today. Personally, I say Merry Christmas because most people in America celebrate this holiday, but if I know someone celebrates another holiday, I will wish them a Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Ramadan, Happy Hannukka, etc.

What's wrong with saying Merry Christmas???
