Religion & Spirituality - 7 September 2006

Killing and stealing are mentioned in the Bible, but are there some things that aren't mentioned in the Bible that people say we can or can't do. I was wondering are their subjects in the Bible that aren't covered.

In “The Ten Commandments” when asked where she is from, Pier Angeli’s character says: “I am from Sodom and Gommorah.” Not only could she not be from both, but both were destroyed a multitude of years before in a previous book of the bible.

What's your favorite religious movie moment?

Just a little disclaimer to start. I want you to understand that i am not lashing out at you so please refrain from doing so with me. And also Christians please refrain from commenting on this question i dont want to confuse the matter. Please read all of this before commenting at all.

Ok ive been around on these boards for awhile now and ive come to notice a pattern. The ultimate question i want you to answer is this. Can you give me a logical reason Not to believe in a God? please do not use the Bible verses to try to do so because it doesnt work. There is nothing in the Bible that you can use for a Logical reason why God doesnt exist because by your reasoning the Bible is a myth and God doesnt exist so why use it as a resource to refute the existence of God? also please refrain from just saying "because he doesnt exist" this is the question not a logical answer and its too easy and shows a lack of your convictions. I will be watching the answer and will comment so please come bac

What is it with American Women and the need to have big tit$?
It is almost an obsession! People in other countries who show their breasts are dumb-founded that we sexualize breasts so much!'
Do you think religion is to blame for oversensualizing the female body? How do we make something a societal taboo?
Breasts, modesty and sexualizing the female body is all psychological...
Can you prove it has anything to do with God? Why would God care if you even went topless?!

A journalist in Sudan was recently beheaded because her wrote an article questioning the parantage of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh.) Do you think that this is an appropriate punishment for writing an article like that? Can the actions of such a state (Iran falls in the same category) be justified?

I heard there is a box or something that is worshipped, and that is why Muslims bow/pray towards Mecca. Correct my ignorance if there is any, but why do they pray towards Mecca and whats so special about this place?

sometimes there is no easy answer in life-do u have a question Jesus never answered for you-try again-he may say wait but he will never let u down-as a Jewish boy i was lookin at porn, cussin- even his name, and drinkin got caught drunk at 13 years old-and the police started drivin me-i said take me to the station dont take me home-im 165 IQ -they said why-i said my dad will kill me-so they drove me home -my dads car wasnt home-so they let me out-could i sue for endangerment of a youth and get more cookies-well i forgive others-do you-if you hold a grudge it is bad--- it takes your joy and peace in Jesus away-im
im glad i prayed and let Jesus forgive my sins and come into my Jewish heart to save and bless me-now i sing about Jesus and life is fun-i pay for the cookies and have fun-do u like chocolate chip cookies -i just love them-and i like the Jews for Jesus too-they got it goin on i went to one of their conventions-but i dont remember if we had chocolate chip cookies-ok thanks

I was reading an article, and it says that scientologists believe in an alien names Xenu who ruled the Galaxtic federation. Then he came brought humans to earth and crashed into a volcano, and the nonsense goes on and on. Who the hell came up with this, and how did they? It sounds like something from a science fiction flick.

Christians are intolerant, exclusive, mean-spirited people that could not open their hearts or minds to save their lives. They forget key ideas and terminology from the bible like the concept of Agape and turning the other cheek.
And atheists are egocentric smartasses.

Weighing the two, don't christians suck more?

no offense meant but watching the discovery channel, all the cruelty could make someone think that god is cruel.

parasites controlling a caterpillar's brain as a host while feeding on it.
birds eating other birds and their eggs
lions killing lion cubs which are not theirs
chimps ruling their tribe using terror

there are mounds of other evidence pointing against a loving christian god.
animals by the way never ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil so they are supposed to be sinless. but why so much cruelty?

i cant imagine an aligator eating grapes or grass. carnivores eat meat. most of them harrass their prey.i think that leaves god out of the equation in life.

no smart @ss answers please.

so according to the Christian philosophy that says if you know about Jesus and do not accept him you are going to go to hell the following people are burring in hell right now.

Naturally I do not know if any of these people accepted Christianity but I am assuming the vast majority did not.

937,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda

2,000,000 Buddhists, secularists and others in Cambodia

6,000,000 Jews in the Holocaust

10,000 Kurds in Iraq

180,000 Albanians in Yugoslavia

1,000,000+ North Korea


So are these people burning in hell if they were not Christian? This all happened in the past century and some in Christian nations. Its not like they did not know about Jesus.

I have taken religion courses and understand Islam well. However, non of my teachers have covered what is the idea behind the extremist. Why are the unprovoked attacks a positive thing to them? Please no hate comments.

God never said anything about voting in the Bible, and when you get to Heaven, He sure isn't going to let you vote on who's going to be God.

I think so.

I understand when a question is offensive, but come on, it's just one stupid question, it isn't actually hurting you. But the thing is that half the questions reported aren't offensive, they just express a descenting point of view. Ease up.

If one takes a serious look and compares the stories about the Abraham of the Bible and the Abraham of Islam, the two are on conflict so someone is incorrect.
