Religion & Spirituality - 7 September 2006

You see When Roman empire was at the pinnacle of its might they used to find it "interesting" to raid the villages of newly defeated empires, rape and kill anything that looks female, except the beautiful ones who can still live...as whores. The men are killed if useless or captured n made slaves who can live as long as they work like animals or die trying or gladiators to fight to their death in arenas for the amusement of the crowd. Dont you think the OMNIPOTENT and OMNIPRESENT one doin the same thing? Like in those psycho movies in which you capture your prey and put them in some weird cell, let them rot then watch n enjoy.

Lucifer is the same dude as Satan (the devil) right? God got pi$$ed off at him and kicked him and his faction out of Heaven. Lucifer was an Angel so are Angels the same as Devils or did god wave his magic wand and morph him into a devil...Horns etc?
Jews Christians and Muslims all have angels ( magical humanoids with wings). They seem very similar to fairies so am I right in presuming Angels are fairies with religion ? What are angels made of? How do they reproduce? Do they have DNA. Witches are also mentioned in the Bible, so do Christians & Jews believe in witches and witchcraft? There seems to be a lot of magical mystical beasts. Jonah got swallowed by a Fish but not digested, must be a magic fish. There is also something called a behemoth that sounds like Godzilla. St George killed a dragon. So are the faithful flock supposed to believe in all these magical beasts and beings? many of you take the bible literally. & what is a cherubim? Please advise and comment - it confuses me.

when religious people laugh at me when i tell them that i am decended from apes, i never get angry. it makes me even more humble and down to earth to know that i am connected to all the elements of the world.
to think that i am some kind of a special creation by a god cuts me off reality. been brainwashed with idea of been superior is what has made this world a terrible place for us all.
dont you agree?

The wiccan culture? I'm just asking out of curiosity, not to bash or prove anyone right or wrong. I seriously want to know what all it entails just so that I can bring some educated answer to the table when different religions come up in conversation. How did it start, is it true that spells are like prayers? Is it really based on nature? The most informative answer would be best.

The one true God is the God of the earth, God of Israel, and not the God of Muslims, the Koran is build on lies, in one part it will praise Christian and Jewish beliefs and in another it will, claim you have to jill them as non belivers?? you know the HOLY BIBLE said Satan would work with false prophets does Mohammed ring a bell right now? He was a antichrist, and he twisted the holy texts of christians and jews to make his own religion and to make a name for himself, and he and every other Muslim will burn in hell. Till then on this earth I call on the true belivers to unite with me and push these pagans back to mecca then crush ther Muslims forces there and clense the Holy land of all Muslims

Why do people think that the bible is divinely inspired but that the qur'an, the vedas, etc. is not?

And consequently, why do you use the bible as a source?

Bible Sales

A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his
Sunday sermon he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who
would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise
the desperately needed money for the church.

Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task. The minister knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he had
serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local farmer, who
had always tended to keep to himself because he was embarrassed by his
speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered very badly. But, not
wanting to discourage poor Louis, the minister decided to let him try
anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately
asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out selling our bibles
last week?"

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied, "using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church."

"Fine job, Peter!" The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand.
"You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you manage to
sell for the church last week?"

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a
professional salesman and was happy to give the church the benefit of
my sales expertise. Last week I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected."

The minister responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are
truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted to you."

Apprehensively, the minister turned to little Louie and said, "And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"

Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope. The reverend
opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" the minister
exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you
sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?

Louie just nodded.

That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could."

"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd
better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."

Louie shrugged "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for
sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell
us what you said to them when they answered the door!"

"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would
y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible
f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you?"

A friend of mine told me that in her religion they aren't allowed to read certain books such as Fawn Brodie's "No Man Knows My History" - the story about Joseph Smith; or "The Mormon Murders" - the story about how the LDS church bought up forged documents to conceal them because they would challenge the way the religion was fabricated by Mr. Smith.

Didn't someone famous say "First they burn books; then they burn people".

Why is the religion afraid of letting its followers experience divergence of thought?

i am more of an athiest, and during a trip to jordan i accepted an invitation from a muslim friend to attend an islamic study group. what i heard and experienced in there not only shocked me but made me realise how childish and foolish this study group was and off line muslims were when it comes to reality.
dont think for yourself, let the koran do the thinking was the norm.

when will the human race learn to think for themselves instead of making religious books and gods do the thinking for them?

sin no more (Jhn 5.14 & 8.11)

No ifs, ands, buts or bs, just yes or no.

How to score:

Score 1 for each yes answer

0-1 You will endure a lifetime of eternal guilt and bad karma. No eternal life you you I'm afraid, as the bible says faith alone is insufficient.
2 congratulations, you have joined the ranks of non-sinners, and are free from eternal guilt. As an added bonus, you may be eligible for eternal life in the unlikely event there is such a thing.

Rom 4:8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

This happens all the time, at church, at the bank, at the store, at the movies. These are married men that I know from church. But when I see them in the community, they start making all kinds of suggestive comments and some are even bold enough to ask me out on a date.

I've dated a few of them before I knew about them being married. Then I was embarassed to see this one guy sitting a church with his wife and kids.

Besides, I'm more physically attracted to Muslim men than to Christians.
