Religion & Spirituality - 2 September 2006

I do not consider myself religious but one who believes in God and I like to ask and have answers about what I believe in...not hear rude gesture. I dont agree with other religions but I dont go out of my way to be nasty about it. God made us to have our own free-will ..to chose him or not...he is not forcing us to serve him. We are not to judge but be witnesses of his love..I haven't seen in here where christians have made jokes and asked the wicca religion .. why they worship trees or why hasn't their spells worked lately? nor the off branch of wicca.. dianic why or if they r predjudice against males? since its only women worshipping a mytholigical woman which is daughter of a planet (jupiter) or scientology. What did u come back as? etc. If that is their belief fine,but then I was thinking if religious people do not like christians, why are they so eager to make a sarcastic or rude reply if the dont want to hear or read about a christians god, why even upset yourself by replying?

I was reading "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and it is set in Africa, just before the white Christians come to spread their "lunatic religion" (Achebe's quote). So what do Christians think happen to people who have or could not have had an opportunity to convert to Christianity? Do they believe they go to Hell?

There is no factual evidence that God exists, has ever existed, or will ever exist, but there is an abundance of man-made speculative conjecture and wishful thinking (commonly referred to as lies) that organised religions put forward, stating that God does in fact exist. Sadly, many innocent gullible minds have become religious based on these false facts (lies).

Furthermore, religion is responsible for the majority of wars, conflict and murder of innocent life since humanity began. There is considerable evidence to classify religion as evil. There are many major religions in the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, etc. Talk to any devout religious person and they will almost emphatically insist that their religion is the right one (it’s fact) all the other religions are wrong, and any non-believer is doomed.

In summary for God and Religion we have, lies, violence, abuse, killing, murder, wars, and so on. Is that a healthy way to live?

God Exists for a fact!!! It's true...but god also doesn't exist ! it's a fact!!! It's TRUE! See....god must exist b/c we must have some sort of creator but god also must not exist b/c we don't need a creator, so basically god only exists because he doesn't have to exist but can exist if you want him not to exist but only if he really doesn't but in the form of 'doesn't' does to an inexistant existance...so therefore if god exists he will exist only because he shouldn't but will only if he did in some future life of the past that he really should. So my final conclusion is that God exists in some present form of past life from the future that will only exist if you believe it doesn't need to exist only because it has to. SEE!?!?!? That explain everything!

"But I thought Jesus abolished the 10 commandments?"
"Are you saying 'hate' means 'intensely dislike?"
"But my millionaire televangelist told me the eye of a needle was a gate in Jerusalem?"
"But I thought 'blasphemy' meant 'atheism'"
"What do you mean I should have sold everything and given the money to the poor?"

History is clear: the Roman govenor of Judea, with his centurion henchmen, was infamous for crucifixions. So why the ongoing controversy in some fundamentalist Christian circles?

I know very little about religions in the world. I'm curious to know if all or the majority of religions attempt to explain the origin of the world with the idea of a divine creator as Cristianism does. In other words, I'd like to know if the idea of a divine creator is common to most religions.

Please, only sensible and sound answers that address the question.

Disguised as humans (or not) do they wander the earth side by side us? Hidden in shadow or pass us on the street. What do you think?

If you're wrong, Your whole life is a big joke because you lived a trick, not life

Imagine praying to something "fake" your whole life. You would have to feel soooooooo stupid

If your husband cheated on you for 50 years when you thought he wasn't, you call that "nothing to lose"?

YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE

WHAT'S THE POINT IN LIVING IF YOU SPENT YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF?

If us Atheists are wrong and God is good, he should understand that we were just being ourselves and weren't playing the better safe than sorry game which would probably piss him off.

You can't even stand for someone to SAY God is fake, just imagine if he really is fake and I know he is

If other religious beliefs are true, you're still going to hell

^~~ Was a question I asked about God's love. The major response to this was that God's love is unconditional, and that he'd basically always love you.

^~~ A question I asked about if I was beautiful in God's eyes, to which many responded with God made me in His likeness, and that I am therefore beautiful.

However, Christians say *I* am going to Hell because I am a Pagan, and practice witchcraft.

And, based on their Bible, they're right.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Galatians 5:21 Envying, murders, drunkenness,
