Religion & Spirituality - 22 September 2006

My wife's mother always hated me. 15 years she did horrible things to me. She said horrible things to me. She said horrible things about our children. She was the only person who I have never really been able to understand. Her hatred of me was so deep and I cannot understand why she despised me so. The last time I saw her alive she was screaming at me. Then, she was dead, well, almost. 72 years old and a massive cerebral stroke left her in a coma, in hospital, for 8 months, during which time her husband died. Even though she despised me so I took her husband and her daughter almost daily to visit her in the hospital in my car, and brought home her dirty clothes to wash in my house. Slowly she faded away and died, died, but she is not dead. She is still here. She came back, from hell, and I can smell her. There are smells that move around my house, really, really disgusting smells. Smells of death. Things have been disappearing. I want to know - how can I get rid of her?

I have studied Islam, and it is truely a religion of peace. The radical Islamist terrorists that people portray all Muslims as are not true followers of Islam. Judging Muslims by their actions is like judging all of Christianity by the actions of the KKK. People may say: "what are they doing to fight terrorism?" Consider the fact that many live in countries where they would be killed for speaking out against Islamists, and those that enjoy freedom do protest, there was recently a march for peace in Washington organized by Muslims. Also, people are very quick to point out the violence in the Qu'aran, do you so quickly forget the way that Moses murdered anyone worshipping false idols? The Bible is also full of violence. And, just to inform you, that moon god argument accomplishes nothing, it only makes you look childish and immature. If that's the only argument you have NOBODY is going to take you seriously.

After the sound of the Shofar, many eat apples dipped in honey and say "shana tova oo-metuka" (to a good and sweet new year)!

For those of us who know Jesus, this is a day to remember our sweet redemption in Him. Every portion of Scripture that is read and remembered in this service paints a beautiful portrait of our salvation in Jesus our Messiah, Yeshua haMashiach.

This is a time of conception of goals and aspirations of things we desire to attain for His Kingdom during the next year. It is a time to pray for the world to unite and press forward under the banner of Messiah. It is a day of salvation for all mankind both Jew and Gentile alike.

Don't you think its is worth a try?

And Hindus, and related religions. Or can anyone use them, I heard them being referred to as purely meditation beads to cout one's mantra whatever it is. So basically a mala is just a string of beads for anyone to use during meditation independent of religion right?

I'm not asking because I don't know. I do know. I'm wondering what answers other people come up with. I'm asking in the R&S section so that I can get responses from the religious types as well as the secular.

Do the souls of atheists simply disappear into the ether? Do crusaders and jihadists (flip sides of the same coin) find an afterlife without jihadists and crusaders, thereby allowing each to assume that the other is in a form of Hell and vindicating either side?

I have prayed to God and have felt his presence in my life. I have felt his sweet forgiveness and I have felt a confirmation that the Bible is the Word of God. But how can I know this is not all in my head?

Before I go on I want to clarify something here: Jesus is a big part of my life and I feel like I have a personal relationship with Him. I'm not one of those people who is looking for an excuse to leave my religion.

But this question has really got me curious. Mostly, I'm just interested in having this question answered so that I can move on and continue on in God's work.

I would appreciate it if only people who believed in God (or at least in a supreme being or supreme force) would answer this question. I am not interested in having people take advantage of my question and try to "convert" me to atheism or any other form of belief that won't accept the possibility of a Supreme Being.

Christianity has existed for almost 2000 years. Generation after generation of its followers have predicted Christ's imminent return, the final battle with Satan, the end of the evil reign being "just around the corner." Of course, the false prophets die, and then the next generation carries on this claim, which has ostensibly been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years now.

Don't any of you stop and think to yourselves, "gee, hundreds of generations of people have died firmly convinced that Christ would appear. They were just as certain of this as I am, yet they were wrong. They died, and the centuries passed, and Christ never appeared to reward their faith."

What makes you think for one second what happened to them isn't going to happen to you? The odds are totally against you. To back my argument, I've got millions of dead Christians in the ground for centuries whose faith meant NOTHING. All you have is the same faith, which history has proven counts for nothing.

I am one of 9 kids, my mom didn't believe in it. She considered it the same as an abortion. I believe it is wrong but I use it anyway. (Don't a lot of us do things we don't think are right?) If there is anyone else out there who doesn't believe in it, what are your reasons?
