Religion & Spirituality - 31 August 2006

Is it just the simple fact that there is strength in numbers? Like, more of us and less of them? Reminds me of Monty Python's 'Meaning of Life' - If any sperm is wasted, then God gets quite irrate.

Does having the toots mean that God is angry with you?

Was Muhammad really a prophet of God, or
was he a tribal warrior?

Was Muhammad really a prophet of God, or
was he a pedo?

The fact that the Koran talks about so many
battles LEAD by Muhammad, and about the
many wives he married, including one wife
who wasn`t even at the age of maturity yet,
shows that Muhamad was not driven by
peace, or real love.
In the end, not even one muslim can answer
the question, "why did Muhammad marry
Aisha?", because you all know its wrong.

Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (New King James Version)

Why is my Bible broken? There should be a translation somewhere were the cause of rain is attributed to weather patterns, clouds rain rain, not windows of heaven,

this probably says in the Hebrew that the clouds rained, then some monk made a mistake, cause surely, we all aren't really stupid enough to believe that a window of heaven opened up and caused rain, we are all intelligent enough to know where rain comes from don't we?

Is it really just a big waste of time to try to have an engaging conversation about religion or spirituality with someone who insists that a bat is a bird?

(or who comes up with flaky explanations to rationalize things like that away?)

Of course, most christians acknowledge that there are some things in the bible that are outdated and need to be understood as the writings of a primitive people by our standards (esp, the old testament).

So I'm not mocking christianity with this question.

I'm just asking about the wisdom of even trying to engage fringe fundamentalists in an intellectual discussion.

Do other christians ever get frustrated with these people?
If I were a christian, they would drive me nuts.

Do most fundalist christians (you know the ones who try and put evolution into schools and say bad stuff about gays) and churches practise the teachings of Jesus?
* when the woman who had comitted adultry was being stoned he said whoever has not sinned cast the first stone.
*he socialized with tax collecters and prostitutes and he said something like he needed to help the people who needed it
*his disciples were fisherman
*even though there were no women in his 12 disciples, he had lots of followers who were women (like the marys)
*he talked against the hypocritic ways of some of the religous leaders and groups
*only God shall judge

Why is that teaching Children in public schools that they came from primates and single celled blobs, perfectly legal, but God or creationism is not. It is a bit biased to say the least, yet Christians are called the bigots, while radical atheist's and evolutionists never see how they have forced us to be taught these lies

I know that it sounds stupid to imagine God in a particular physical form and it is rather defined as energy or love etc. by believers. But I believe that everyone has an image of God, for example I imagine God as a thin, elegant, very interestingly and well-dressed, kind person whose skin shines and whose eyes make you cry. I feel comfortable if I imagine God like that. What is your image?

Some would define it as someone who believes in God and Jesus Christ, and others would add other requirements as well. Opinions?

Yes, yet another serious question from me. Please answer accordingly.

This is a serious question.
I would like a resume of factions in the middle east (shiites, sunni, etc) - where they're from, what are their differences, can they reconcile these differences, and examples of breakdown by country would be nice too.
Thanks - always have to try and understand the world better.
(Again, seriously, I will be asking the same thing of my "christian" friends soon, but I think the response may be more complex).
Take it easy!

Is Vanity a sin?

Like for example, I tend to look at the mirror a lot to check my hair. I don't do it to see my looks.

A lot of people tend to be obsessed with looks and style. Is it a sin?

I watch some of the multimillionire televangelist on tv(rarely), politicians, etc. A lot of them believe if Jesus were here today-he'd be a card carrying member of the Republican party. Maybe Jesus wants to cut all social spending to fund tax cuts for the rich??

Why do some people think Jesus is a Republican?
