Religion & Spirituality - 18 September 2006

Okay, I know this wont go over very well with most people but I have a serious problem. My family and I have moved to a new home about 6 months ago. Since then, we've all changed. My husband and I argue alot, (we never have before after 13 years together) We're all plagued with negative thoughts and feelings. Our cars constantly need repair, they're are cold spots in the house (we live in the deep south, its summer time) Some of our friends act weird here (hateful and rude when they're usually easy going when we're elsewhere. ) My son won't sleep in his room because he has nightmares.

Before we bought our home, a crew had to come in to repair all the holes in the walls where the people who lived here before fought all the time and punched holes in them. The carpets had burn holes where they tried to burn the house down.
Could their negative energies have stayed behind? or I'm I just being silly. I'm looking for a Pagan perspective as well as all others. Thanks!

Here's a verse that talks of both:
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

So what is the difference?

I've run out of ways to ridicule Christians. It's just the same ole thing over and over. Christians are irrational, stupid, and annoying. I have said it all already.

So I might as well just become one now. How do I do that?

Oh yeah, and will Jesus forgive me for bashing his followers?

I know their bible tells them to tell everyone about god and tell them about false religons. However for "the" christians that are trying to force their religon on people when its unwanted, don't you/ they know it's rude?
Everyone have's a right to believe in what ever they want too and they should respect other peoples right to do the same. Don't tell me that I should stay out of the religion section If I don't want to hear it. Cause 1.) There are more religions then one. 2.) I don't even have to be in this section and I still get hate mail from some of the Christians on here.
I know about the bible I just choose not to follow it cause I don't believe in it. That is my right, so there is no need to tell me about God or that I am going to hell cause I don't belive in it therfor I don't care to hear it.

I'm Agnostic. I respect your choice not to be, and won't argue otherwise. But Christians, on the other hand, feel the need to yell at everyone to believe in Jesus or burn in hell. Why can't you just leave us alone?

Excerpt from the ABC story.

"Speaking in tongues, weeping for salvation, praying for an end to abortion and worshipping a picture of President Bush

-- these are some of the activities at Pastor Becky Fischer's Bible camp in North Dakota,

"I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the gospel as they are in Palestine, Pakistan and all those different places," Fisher said. "Because, excuse me, we have the truth."

"A lot of people die for God," one camper said, "and they're not afraid."

"We're kinda being trained to be warriors," said another, "only in a funner way."

"It's an absolute, straight-up us-against-them, It's, you're either with us or you're against us. … Not only are you a sinner, but you are working for the enemy -- the enemy being Satan."

Are these Christians terrorists or freedom fighters?

Write your response in quotes.

Heres mine ---

"Dear followers of the religion of peace, please forgive me....I dont wanna die and I know you almost killed super peaceful John Paul, so Im certain to get it.

Your righteous violence and nun-killing has proven to me that I was wrong to quote some else who claimed Muhammad was violent...but it took your Islamic violence for me to see this. I thank you.

Please dont kill all the Christians and take over the world like you are telling everyone you will do, because I am dont want to bend over and smell a mans backside 5 times a day (bad knees).

Dont forget, I was once a Nazi youth, and I know that almost every Muslim loves the nazis (fact...total fact). So at least consider that please.

Wait...what if I speak lots of hate for jews and hindus...would you not kill me then? Please please please....I will kiss the Quran like John Paul did....just dont kill me!!! I swear Islam is not violent...I was wrong...please!!!"

and if said fundie actually had a sack, don't you think that he would make sure that the person he is challenging is actually present at the time?

I'm sure that he's very impressive in debating people when he thinks that they're not around.

When will RAH the sun god, return on his golden camel to reclaim is rightful throne?

Also, have you accepted him yet? If not, I must inform you that he will cast the unbelievers into the tomb of 10,000 snakes.
What do you have to lose? Why run the risk? Just fall to your knees and ask Rah to smile down upon you.

Rah predates the gods of all modern religions, why doth ye forsake him?

i think that both religions are equally worthless along with all other kinds of god squad twaddle, since the dawn of time, innocent lives have been executed, sacrificed and mutilated in the name of gods and the stupid idealisms of one religion being better than another, most wars have been caused by it, how can the devil be evil when the planets biggest killer always has and always will be the name of god. agree or disagree and why.

In Western societies, Muslim are allowed to live freely, worship freely and particpate in society. Under Muslim law, the penalty for converting from Islam to another religion is death (as is the penalty for being raped). Does anyone question that Islam is a cancer on the world that must be eradicated?

religion gave us the chance of knowing the only V I P person in the existence .. "almighty GOD" .. it is more important to us (religious persons ) ..from computers and ......etc ..
you must know all what you list is produced by what GOD gave us .. " EYES .. HEARS .. BRAINS .. HANDS .. etc .."
do not tell me that science gave us eyes and brains ......
ok ..
and another thing ....
if universe always exists .. then it is limited or unlimited .. if it is limited .. then what is beryond it .. and if it is unlimited .. who can imagine an unlimited universe .. and what about time ..
and .. if it started by big bang .. then what caused big bang ..
then god concept .. not only religiously .. but also scientifically .. or say philosophically .. the only sollution for these problems ..
ok .. good luck ..
