Religion & Spirituality - 20 September 2006

Their enmity originated eons ago even though both religions have so many things in common. They both assert the existence of Moses and Abraham. They both claim Jerusalem to be holy. They both have similar form of greeting (shaloum and salam). What started the rift?

What is the main reason for you believing that there is a god?

Serious question. Is there one specific event or thing that has happened to yourself to make you believe there is a god?

Do people who haven't read the bible or don't count themselves as religious believe in there being a god?

I am shocked how many people in the parenting section quote the Bible to justify corporal punishment of their children. Are there any religious Christians out there who have a different view of this?
I live in Germany and I really get confused with what I find on this website. There are not many devout Christians in Germany and corporal punishment of children is not at all socially accepted here. Is this really a teaching of Christianity or just an excuse of parents who don't know how to raise their kids in different way?
I know that it is written in the Bible, but the Bible says many things that Christians nowadays don't follow.

There are a few things known to man, that provide a fantastic sense of clarity in the mind or spirit. There's love, fornication, certain foods, drink or drugs.. And of course there's poetry, music, other forms of art, and the inspiration from anything that challenges your current world view. Certain newspaper articles could even do that, for example. Others need travel or extreme sports to refresh their spirits.

Any of the above are wrong in the church, on different levels. Could that be because people need to be dumb to have faith? Could world peace then become a reality if next door to every congegration, we'd open an EasyPeace den, where poets and artists orate poetry and brilliant columns, accompagnied by live music and other artistry, while the audience drink dandelion wine, absynth and whiskies, smoke cannabis, have great sex and free travel passes or skydiving vouchers at the exit?

I very occasionally have this happen to me and at first I was frightened, but when it happens now, its quite a strange but pleasurable feeling:-

When i'm really tired and I end of falling asleep but I know I need to stay away (usually on the sofa, during the day), I start to dream as per usual and my body/muscles switch off as per normal sleep routine. I am then semi-consious and still aware of the fact that I am on a sofa falling asleep. I can open my eyes and see the room around me, but I can't move my body as it has gone into sleep mode. I can then either just close my eyes again and drift deeper loosing consiousness as per normal sleep or tell myself to count to three and shake myself awake. When I do this, I can feel a massive surge of energy/warmth as my body comes back 'on' again and I'm fully awake again. I can feel the energy working its way through my body (takes a few seconds) - like i'm 'turning on' again. Are our bodies just mechanisms for our souls?....

Do they feel unsure of themselves so they want everyone to tell them what they are doing is fine?
