Religion & Spirituality - 20 September 2006

I dont want to offend people. But i never understood why people who have a strong religious believe always get mad at things like harry potter and gays for one example? I was confirmed in the catholic church, had a strong faith, but slowly it is declining, and I have never got upset with things that may not agree with the bible, but I dont understand why die hard believers have to voice there anger. They give there religion a bad name, and arent really following the bible. I also have a lot of gay friends, and it is sick to see people get so upset over that topic. It is not the person's choice to be gay. And even if it is why fuss over it? God created them. He also created love. So if you have a problem with them, then you have a problem with god, and also if people mingle with there life and marriage, then what does that make you? You are stopping 2 people from showing there love. Would god approve? But if you dont like something why act up and make a fuss? I dont when i disapprove

Being a believer, I assume you know that the soul is NOT present until birth, according to the bible?
If so, you must also be pro-life with regards to *every living thing* regardless of the presence of a soul?

What do you eat, may I ask? Cabbages that have died a natural death??

The Bible says that men shouldn't lie, but it doesn't mention anything that God can't do. He is after all omnipotent,right? He can do anything. Even lie.

I do not subscribe to all the tenents of Christianity, but I beleive in Christ, and beleive he was indeed a prophet of God and a messenger of peace in this world. I follow no religion, I just pray on my own, meditate, and beleive in God and Christ. Does this make me a Christian by proxy in some people's eyes? I really don't care, beacuse I disagree with many teachings of the faith(s) and their many different sects. I just want to see if any others out there are like me, or what others think. My holy rolling aunt calls me a "confused pagan". LOL. Don't worry, I'm sure the mothership is coming to beam her up soon.

Are you sure you are not imposing your puritan ethic in a sexist manner, insisting on women covering up but not men?

According to gallup stats, the more educated people are, the less likely they are to believe in God. Interesting. It certainly seems true looking around at the trailer trash.

And, yes, I know someone will respond and say 'I've got 10 PhDs and I believe in Jesus...", but I stand by the trend.

way that relates to probability? For Example A christian says: If I pray to god there is a 1/10 chance he will answer which would be more than if I didn't.

I am Lutheran, however, we recently moved and there is a Presbyterian Church right next to us. They hand out flyers for fun events, etc to the area and I want to know what I'm exposing my kids to if I let them go. I don't want them to hear something that I don't believe in if they go to one of these events.

What about the ideas of other faiths? Should non-christians have the right to censor christian art they judge obscene (such as images of the crucifixion)? What about christian ideas?

Should we all have the right to censor anything about other faiths we find objectionable?

I understand that sometime around 200 B.C. the books of the old testament had been canonized into the Septuagint, which was a translation of Hebrew text into Konine Greek.

Around 400 C.E. St. Jerome was commisioned to create a standardized Latin version, but was his Latin version made exclusively from the Greek Septuagint, or was it made exclusively from the original Hebrew text upon which the Septuagint itself was made?

IWhen I eat lately I feel like its all going to the wrong places. I fear that the calorie gods are angry at me for that potato I just ate and are ready to smite me in the buttocks and thighs as vengence. I also transgressed and bought a bag of rice cakes today...and ate 4 or 5 of them. I am concerned that the fat fairies are on their way. How should I atone for my sins ? I felt a 6 pack of diet soda may appease their fierce anger or maybe 5 hours on the treadmill. Can you advise me guys ?

The disciples were forbidden to have money, except for a common purse, of which Judas was the treasurer (John 13: 29)
They had common ownership of property and the marxist principle of "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" is espoused
Acts 2: 44-47
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 4: 32-35
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Science said there were 9 planets, so with Chiron legally being
a planet, Plutos got to go. Because science says there can only be 9. RIGHT!

The Bible clearly states that the world hates Christ and his disciples and that true followers of Christ face hatred and hostility for the lives they choose to follow. Let us pray for our christain brothers and sisters in oppressive countries>

And please add a source, if possible. This is a debate, after-all.

And please only put real answers to my question, I know a lot of people put a lot of pointless religious propoganda in this category.

I'm sure everyone would want to meet their loved ones. But I'm referring to interesting people from history.

I'd like to meet Aristotle, Plato, Budda, Einstein and a few others.

It would be interesting to me just to sit among people like this and listen to them talk about stuff, the greatest minds ever to live all together at the same time. Of course the greatest of all right in the middle of them, God.
