Religion & Spirituality - 5 September 2006

Go to any Christian church service and included with the positive messages are always firm underlying messages that God has determined our fate, we should put our lives in the hands of God, we should pray to God for answers, and God has a reason for the unfortunate things that happen to good people that we just don't understand yet. Is this really proper personal accountability? I know plenty of good church going Christians who take full accountability for their lives, but you so often hear the poor accepting their lack of success as part of God's plans.

If God created humans in his own image, maybe humans are designed to look within themselves to look for answers...maybe humans were created with the ability to succeed or fail on their own?

The purpose of the seed is to grow to its full potential, maybe even a tree. Isn't this a better message for humans as well as oppose to just accepting bad thing as God's will. Personal accountability goes a long way to success/failure.

Why would anyone base their belief on a myth? Why would anyone go to a worship service on a Sunday morning to worship a myth? Why would anyone want to be a member of a group based upon a myth? Yet, that is exactly what Liberal Christians do. Seems pretty meaningless.

I am not defending harm done by my faith. I am however stated that not ALL Catholics are pedophiles nor should we be judged by the actions of those who are. Your opinions please?

I get a little tired of people assuming evolutionists and atheists are automatically the same thing; they are not. An atheist is simply a non-theist, nothing more and nothing less.

Evolution is based on physical evidence and observation...it goes beyond the petty bickering of religions and philosophies?

Mat 10:32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.

So what is your answer before men + women here?

Many of them don't seem to know that the Bible was heavily edited before it became what we know today.

How can people defend this radical religion that encourages death of infidels? Oh yeah and I've read the quran, and I have found MANy verses encouraging infidel death ( IN CONTEXT).

Oh and this isn't racist. I don't see how insutling a radical religion is racist. I think its pretty racist for you people to think Islam is ful of arabs.

Also I am saying this today because a terror plot was exposed in Denmark. Eurabia is coming.

Everyone on here who defended islam never made a good arguement. Its always, "yeah YOU PEOPLE ARE RACIST!111!!" or either "you know christians killed millions !!111!1". completely ignoring the new threat to this world...

Evolution didn't happen, the Earth is flat, the sun is a God, men rise from the dead, Zeus makes lightning, on and on. Why do they have to believe in such silly things?

On September 12th 2006 the world will have nuclear war.
In this war 1/3 of mankind will die.
Things will only get worse from that time until the end.
So next Tuesday check back with me to see if what I posted was true.

have you ever heard voices, had thoughts, had visions of which were not yours or those around you? has specific words of others ever stood out while you were thinking to yourself, as if answering / commenting on your questions / thoughts? have you ever done things which the average other would deny the possibility of? has the world in front of you ever looked the same but have a totally different interpretation?

it is not mere coincidence, nor is the the tricks of the "devil". if what one does during this dream does not affect others in any way possible from the perspectives of a man of science, then it should not matter. At the end of the day, nothing has changed in the world one lives in. however, it is real and i will forever persue it. pursue it for the knowledge and the joy it brings.

am i alone? is anybody REALLY like me? i don't want some hardcore religious fanatic telling me their stories of miracles. i am talking about a world one can enter at will.

People would probably laugh, but if I mention Jesus as my savior, people get mad, upset, hateful.

I didn't get a single pro-life response to this question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahj6NwNmrW5ZXMGrc2vAi9vzy6IX?qid=20060905173907AAJr9Ep

Prolife folks, I know that you're out there, and I know you read the question. Two people gave the question a thumbs-down, but didn't answer. Why not?

Maybe it is a difficult question, but aren't the difficult questions in life that are the most important to answer?

I think that it deserves a real response, not just a weak thumbs down.

Why not just tell us your feelings about it?
I posted the question because I honestly want to know the prolife perspective on this.

at least once in every year and let respect, peace and love be the exchanges of words among different faiths including atheists? Can we strive to look for their strong points that we lack and admire for them?

Okey, name one avatar of different faith that you admire most in him/her. And why?

Asker not included please.

My mom says its wrong for a black and a white to be together but i can't find anything wrong with it? Was there anyone in the Bible that had a black wife or husband that was right with the Lord or is it really wrong?
