Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2006

In the mid-1980’s, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Jewish faith is a race, as opposed to a religion. Forged in the spirit of anti-discrimination, the implications of a “Jewish Race” are nevertheless reminiscent of anti-semitism. Because you can convert to Judaism, and cannot convert to, say, being Japanese, how is it possible for there to be such a thing as a Jewish race? On the contrary, if Judaism is just a religion, how is it that approximately 45% of Jews in America consider themselves to be secular Jews?

Dinosaurs are a hoax and are lies.Why you created myths about these non-existant creatures. The world is not that old. '''READ YOUR BIBLE.''' Anybody who reverts this back to the filthy lies and nonsense before this will rot in [[Hell]]. You talk about the fossils of dinosaurs--they are actually the bones of the fallen demons who were kicked out of heaven.Why--you found their age more than 6000 years by Carbon-Dating? It's obvious. Study Einstein's Special Relativity. It's the TIME DILATION effect. The fallen demons came from far away distance to the earth to make that effect effective. Who do you think [[God]] favours? Me, protecting the cherished Truth, or you posting false lies to defame [[God]]? He will PUNISH you and reward me with a place in his Kingdom. You will go to [[Hell]] if you continue to revert to the lies of so-called scientists. Don't believe these liars.

The Nicene Creed and the Catholic definition of the Holy Trinity defines the godhead as three in one . Three entities one in substance. By the time this council was formed (325 ad) mankind had fallen so far from the truth which is why those days were referred to as the darkages or age of apostasy. I believe that the father son and holy spirit are three separate entities but one in spirit,purpose,what say ye out there?

I think its great for school children/ students to say the pledge every morning, but why have "under god" in there? So many people have different religions with different gods, and some like me are athiest, so it really isnt the same as when it was created. just give opinions, please, thats all i did, im not trying to make people mad or offend them, but im just curious what you think, i dont want everyone to be atheist, because without diversity life would be terrible.

When I answer religious questions by saying that we were granted intelligence and the ability to think and rationalize, and that's why religious doctrines, holy books, etc. do not cover everything (or are vague), since maybe, just maybe, we were supposed to figure some things out of on our own, I always get several "thumbs downs."

I know this is a petty thing, and I really shouldn't think much of it. And really, I'm not actually "bothered" by it. But I really want to know why so many people think this is such a poor answer.

I challenge the non-believers and atheists. You can't refute the.:
Proof:
(1) Just believe that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour and you will see
miracles start to happen. You will be given anything that you ask in prayer. You will be able to make a blind and lame person completely ok--just by utttering the name of our Lord Jesus. You will feel the Holy Spirit inside you who will guide you always precisely.
(2) All the science and technology is actually derived from Bible.
(3) There were witnesses to Jesus' miracles and resurrection and this is a big proof.
(4) All predictions of Bible are fulfilled and will be in future.
(5) No contradictions in Bible. The contradictions are just apparent.
They shouldn't be interpreted literally.

The bible preaches that if you live a good life and live by the word of the bible then you will go to a place better than earth. If this is true, then why do people fear death so much?

Please cite chapter and verse, as well as version. And give the entire quote, in context.

Don't bother with blank statements that just baldly assert it's wrong without specific references and quotations.
