Religion & Spirituality - 16 September 2006

In light of what the pope said ..we have all seen that muslims are demanding an apology...but instead of waiting to see if they will receive the apology ...they are burning churches and back to burning things because they have hurt feelings....this is a sign of who they are truly.....I dont see christians out burning things and burning down places of other religions worship because they have had their beliefs trod upon...to me they are showing who they really are....what happen to we are a peace and love religion?....I dont think it matters whether they get an apology or not...it wont change a thing in how they are reacting .....the world is watching ....

If we look at Maslow's hiearchy of needs we see that those may live in survival mode for their entire life.
And refuse to contribute. They live in the world of consumerism and materialism, it doesn't fit in with the abundance mentality.
Although things arent indefinately abundant, changes need to be constantly fluid and adaptable.
But here is the other side of the argument, those who have self-actualized and see the world as heaven, a place where one can create, a place where infinite knowledge can be explored, are these guys hinting to the others why to see the world in this light?

It may or may not be spiritual, according to the dream you posess, but it's a worthwhile concept to explore.

Is there a pyramid at all really?, Can it just be circles within circles?

God cannot understand death, since he cannot die.

God cannot understand confusion, because he knows everything.

God cannot understand what it is to be mislead, because he cannot be mislead.

God cannot know what it is like to make a wrong choice, because god can't make wrong choices.

God cannot know what it is to be obedient, because he has no one to obey.

God cannot know what it is to be human, because he can't forget he's god.

Yet we are to be judged and condemned for not being as perfect as god, unless we believe Jesus is his son.

And those who believe have the smug satisfaction of thinking themselves geniuses while thinking the rest of us ants are stupid and/or evil.

This supposed to be a religion of Love and Compassion?

... Tower of Babel.

Why did God scatter his flock of Christians into Lutherians, Pentecostals, Mormons, Baptists, Catholics, Unitarians, Methodists, Greek Orthodox, and Amish and what not?

I've been here for 1 month now and i'm ashamed of our society. This is a global forum and racism exists so blatently wherever we come from. It's also ironic that most of it is directed towards muslims, yet, I haven't seen any posts which condone terrorism, condem western civilisation as being infedels or support the 9/11 bombings (but there maybe there, i've just seen a hell of a lot more racism ones).

Why do we do this?

sent a person to hell regardless of the fact that that person has done so much good for humanity but is atheist. What kind of god is that? P.S. I am in no way, shape, or form, trying to bash Christianity. It's just an honest question I have. ~just a girl trying to make sense out of life~

...that my biological mother had several abortions after she had my sister and I.

I'm crying now because my mother killed my own siblings... They never got a chance to live, and I don't think anyone has mourned their deaths until now. All I can do is pray that God will have mercy on them...

How can anyone keep a straight face while saying that abortion is ok?

Trusting that there is a God. I mean people say, I need proof, I need proof. The proof is right in front of them half the time and they just don't know it. For example, trees are proof that God exists, he made them right?

But I didn't get enough responses, so I'm asking it again. Have ya'll figured out by now that points don't matter to me, lol!!



I'm Curious About Something????

Please answer all parts of my question, if you can.

1. Have you ever received an Answers violation?
2. How many?
3. For what reason?

Have any of you ever received an Administrative Notice from Yahoo! Answers?

1. Yes
2. Probably 40- 50. One day I received 17.
3. Usually for chatting, or "Not a question or answer."

I have actually bypassed the Violation Notice and gone straight to Administrative Notice. Must have been a serious offense that time.

Grand prize.....How many of you think this question will be deleted?

If you don't care to read this I understand but here is one of my theories.
I think if super-intelligent beings exist, would they have invented more devices to measure various frequencies. Possible even integrate them into their genetic sciences and alter their brainwave capacity to measure these frequencies and add them to constant thought and would be receptive to them.

In other words, what if our thoughts could be measure by a device or being that could actually hear them with focused intent.

Would that mean this, that if other beings were to reveal themselves to mankind, they would need a mass agreement by US to acknowledge their existence so they wouldn't feel they are violating our freewill.

I think of what if we never advance technologically, we have the stories of beings visiting pre-modern man.What if they knew all along?

Might seem crazy, I know, but something definately to think about.

Thanks for your time.

What do you think?

Even if it's not spiritual?

If using this argument is silly (which it is) why do so many people base their views of Muslims off of what they see on TV?

Muslim extremists are not true Muslims any more than Fred Phelps is a true Christian. Both are twisting their faith to evil ends.

Before you judge, try talking to an actual Muslim. The vast majority of Muslims hate what the extremists are doing to their religion, and yes, they do speak out about it. There was a Muslim march for peace in Washington DC a few weeks ago, but no one covered it on the news, therefore we never heard about it. Right now, it’s much more profitable for the American public to stay afraid of the foreign threat than to understand and accept it.

It is illogical, unfair, and downright stupid to base your assumptions about an entire race or religion based on the views given to you by a biased media. Make up your own minds, people.

Your thoughts?

a security guard claimed Stalin prayed when times were bad in a old Chapel underground. I doubt this will stop the Christians claiming his regimes evil was due to atheism though!
