Religion & Spirituality - 19 September 2006

As theists, we already have faith in the One True God, why don't we seek to know clearly His Teachings and put them into practice for the benefit of all the human race? I think if we throw behinh all trivial differences, and firmly advance with divine knowledge, selfless love, sacrificial actions, the world would assuredly become the Heaven on earth.

of them are Muslim? Are they trying to prove they are smart? Do you consider this weird or unusual behavior? Why are true Moslems ordered to memorize the "Holy Qur'an?"

I don't know any other Christian who really seems to be trying to live for God. They watch things they shouldn't watch, talk like they shouldn't talk...I mean, basically they're good people, but they don't seem to be trying. I feel so out of place anymore, and I feel so lonely. I know I make mistakes, and I'm not perfect, but I still try. Whenever I try to talk to other Christians about this, they say, "We're all human, and we're all going to sin." I understand this, but they seem to be hiding behind that rather than trying to make things right. It's gotten to the point that I feel like I have to make a choice: continue living the way I know God wants me to live, yet feel lonely or start giving in here and there just so I fit in with everyone else. I know what the right thing to do is, but each day it's becoming harder and harder to make the right decision. I just need some good, Christian advice.

when all people who call themselves christians will "disappear" and all left (good and bad) will go through hell and back dealing with all of that revalations ****. and am i the only one, or do some people think its a little crazy that eve once talked to a snake... they teach in churches this really happened, this is symbolism! it did not happen, its meant to excersize a point.. why would a god, who cares and loves endlessly, judge by your beliefs, and not your actions. do you think you have to be christian to be a good person? if a man spent his whole life donating money to the poor, and died, would he go to hell because he didnt proclaim jesus as his savior?? its so absurd!! god even admits in the bible he is a jealous god.. shouldn't a god be above such things, if he existed.. would he kill everyone on earth with a flood because he was angry? and then set a date to which all people not of him will perish...

They just assume I am, or don't care one way or the other. btw, I'm of Italian (1/2) descent & my b/f is from Italy so we are always hanging around Italian people. They never ask (I don't know if they can "tell" one of their own! lol ) if I am or whatever, or if I am Catholic (which I am).

OK, so when I am in New York, I always get asked (only be Jewish people) if I am Jewish. Why? Why are they so inquisitive? Especially if I have any accomplishments ((like I mentioned I scored in top 1% of a national exam, & several Jews said to me "oh, how nice, and you're Jewish???)) do they want to claim me as one of their own? lol.

If God doesn't exist, how did the universe come to be? The human race? How do you explain evidence of events that were written about in the Bible?

What happens when we die? if there's no God, what's the point of living? Why are we on this Earth?

Theoretically, n correct me if I'm wrong, Atheists believe that there is no 'higher power or being' to govern our existence. Does that therefore mean that Atheists have no religion cuz they have no practices or rituals or prayers? If thats so, do Atheists then miss out on certain basic human rights and privileges (sacred spaces, holidays n festivals, etc) cuz they do not have a recognisable religion? I'm not Atheist, I'm actually a Pagan n i know how long n hard the battle was for us to get any kind of rights or recognition. I was just curious if there is any kind of similar concern for Atheists or just general apathy......

Jesus proved that he filled the Prophecy (of the old testament) don’t you need the Old Testament to prove what the prophecy was? With out the OLD Testament Jesus was nothing.

So life developed from originally single celled organisms.
But where did those single cells come from?
A single cell is a complex biological machine not something simple as just a few chemicals thrown together and a bit of lightening. A cell is constructed with delicate engineering and components that are required to make a cell live and function, something that man has failed to reproduce in the laboratory other than lifeless slime.
So where did the first cell come from and not only appear but duplicate.

two days ago, i asked a few questions in which i was curious about. i asked about the stigmas of atheism, why christians want to convert atheists, and why being an atheist is a bad thing.

the replies i received were mostly disrespectful to atheists, and some were very disrespectful towards christians. i got a lot of "god wants us to tell you he loves you" and "you're going to hell if you don't believe in god" and "how can you not believe in him? it's like not believing in air."

so the new questions i propose are these: why, if christians are such good people, will they push you into the ground with disrespect for what you believe? and also, why exactly do you believe in god? what proof do you have to offer me?

i want to believe. but i can't. help me.
