Religion & Spirituality - 28 August 2006

When I started answering questions on here, I felt that I should always give the REASONS why I made the statement. The whys and wherefores that brought me to my conclusion.

If in the future, I gave an answer and just said "references available," would that work?

Would those of you who really wanted to know what those references were, would you ask for them by email?

Is it better to give short answers with references available than long ones?

Dont you think that you are very very strange people thinking rationally at some time and become totally illogical when it comes to nonexistent things?

Like, why is there more than one? If you ask me it's the "God" believers who can't agree. Why can't you all agree on one "God"? People who don't believe in any "God" all agree on the same thing, with them it's unanimous. So shouldn't all of the believers change to be non-believers and we'll all just get along while believing the same thing? When will it ever end?

There are many scientific studies linking culture, ecology, violence and religious belief. The evidence suggests that the more full the landscape (jungles, etc.) the more likely the people are to feel connected and safe, thus producing polytheistic and inclusive belief systems. Monogamy is more prevalent, and women seen as equals, because they can produce from the rich landscape as well as the men, and there is lass emphasis on purely physical security. Monotheism is then seen as a product of people living in barren, exposed landscapes, with war and famine being common. God is often a vengeful, protective masculine figure in these systems. The technological advances of the modern world are creating a new mixture of isolation and connectivity; too many choices, not enough personal contact. Is this one reason why the old religions are not serving our current need? Do we need to move back to fundamental experiences and build our spirituality anew?

This looked way too familiar to me. My youth pastor held a burning of "sinful" media and told me I shouldn't listen to hip-hop--and this was in the days of De La Soul!

My god taught me honesty and respect for others. All of these funda"mental" loonies love to tell others what they know (err...think). Nobody, not anybody can tell me otherwise. I know God loves me regardless of an orientation. How sad that ignorant hillbillies feel the need to know they know everything. Shame on them, their ignorance, and their hatred. You fear that which you dont understand, and hate that what you fear. Honesty, respect, caring....true Christian values...perhaps others should give that a try. Perhaps they would learn alot and really be more like Jesus, who by the way, says NOTHING about homosexuality.....NOTHING! You can be gay and a christian. Unlike being ignorant white trash.....which you can change.

I could never understand why the Apocrypha was omitted from the KJV, while other demominations maintain it. Can you please tell me the verse, phrase or statement that those who use the KJV find offensive?
