Religion & Spirituality - 26 September 2006

I’m very much tired of both of them. They make me act nice to people and follow my “heart” when I should follow Logic. What methods is there that can help me kill off these two things? What things should I do to rid myself of them? These two make me feel sentimental to objects and people. I would like to rid myself of sentimental feelings. I would also like to rid myself of Love, but increase My Greed and Ambition. What can I do?

I'm only 18, and don't won't to be bound by them for the rest of my life.

I was a pagan and practising witch for seven years, made friends (accidentally!) with a Cistercian monk and visited his monastery. Ever since then, I believe God has come into my life and made himself known to me and I have been compelled to read books about becoming a nun. Am I being called to be a nun? Could I even think about becoming a nun when I haven't been baptised as a Christian?

Serious answers only please, please no anti-Christian stuff. Thanks.

"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

Isn't that what Jesus taught?

Then why the mega churches? The super rich preachers? etc

I just make the Assumption that an Atheist or Evolutionist would want to have the Australopithecus studied in a natural environment.

I personally would think "would Australopithecus make it in modern times". And would offer to be an adoptive parent.

I personally am not religious but do intend on taking my own son to a Catholic mass and show him what our family in Michigan does. Not that Daddy believes but that its ok for him to explore the option.

I would want Australopithecus to explore the option. I would contend that if there was a God God would put a soul in the cloned Australopithecus.

I sincerely hope people give a heartfelt answer to this question and not blow it off as a chance to score points for "their side".

Imagine the face of Australopithecus as an explanation of a soul enters its consciousness, and how it must deal with its "humanity".

In Texas, an award-winning art teacher who had been teaching 28 years lost her job because a parent complained that their fifth grade child saw a nude during a field trip to an art museum in Dallas.

In art museums, finding sculptures and paintings of nudes is quite common. In most school systems, most children have to have parental permission for a field trip. Now, the art program of that school in jeapordy without a teacher.

Would you have let your child go on a trip to an art museum knowing there may or may not be nude forms they could observe. And, if you will, what harm comes from it?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinons.

I have had dreams since I was very young and have lived to see these dreams come true. I do not, dabble in any kind of spiritism and do not have any occult items around. Is this from a good source? Why does this happen to me? I think my relationship with the Lord is the motivating factor in my life, so why is this happening ?

"so many choose to be ignorant of the real world, feeling all nice and cozy wrapped up in their religion, like a warm blanket muttering" its not real, its not real" when confronted with scientific fact." mam, Christians drive cars, fly in planes, watch t.v., ride on boats, talk on phone, go see doctors, listen to radios,use dvd players, turn on lights, use washing machines, mow the lawn, use the sprinklers,surf the web, use a printer, take pictures, go to the movies, go to schools, read books, carry cell phones, use the stove, use the fridge, use the microwave. Now please try again. and this time stop and think before answering, I mean this with the utmost respect.

I have my own religion but I was just curious as to what other religions are based on? Who do you worship? Do you tithe or partake of a sacrament? Do woman and men hold high callings in the church and are they paid? What rules do your church have as far as values and what you can't participate in, ( menonites wear buns and dresses, penacostal woman don't cut their hair, Catholics what's the reason behind Mary statues not Jesus?) This is in no way shape or form meant to cut or degrade any religion. This is a question of my personal interest. Things are very important to certain religions and I would like to find out why. What is the significance behind it? Is it in the bible and where, or does your religion have other books you use also?

I think the only difference is that religion is backed by a lot of people, but insane people are insanse by themselves. Both the insane person and the religious person believe in something by faith. A burning bush talked to Moses... does that sound crazy to you? The water turned to blood in Egypt... crazy? From what we know of our world today, nothing has ever operated like the Bible says it does. No global floods, no magic, nothing supernatural. Btw, Christians, Muslims think they are right too if you didn't know that. They also have an ancient book (imagine that!) that they think is the truth. We should lock the religious up in mental asylums until they come to their senses.

I always dream about the SAME highway in my dreams. At the first exit, there's a rundown shopping center to the left and a Shell gas station to the right. I even stop to get gas there in my dream sometimes. At the second exit, there's a shopping mall with a grocery story right next to it and across the street there's an unknown fast food restaurant and a Wendy's next to it. Sometimes, I get off on this exit to shop, get something to eat or both. Do you ever have dreams like this? Do you think these places actually exist in real life? I also dream of people I've never met, particularly this sexy Latino guy I've named Raphael..lol. I've dreamed of him since I was 15. I hope he's real. Have any of you had recurring dreams like or even one dream like this? What are your thoughts on what these dreams mean?

I was driving behind a Toyota this past weekend when I saw that he had a ribbon with the slogan "We support our troops...". I was proud of this Christian American until I looked further down and it said "... for killing Children and innocent people". As a Christian I was flabbergasted that this ignoramus would have the audacity to use this symbol to promote his own hate and uneducated opinions!

I quickly honked at him, then tailgate with my truck. I yelled at him to pull over. Once he did, I got out and preceeded to educate him on our troops who dying for us in Iraq and Afghanistan! I told him Jesus would not appreciate his views.

They are being killed by those hateful barbarian so we have the freedom to do what we want and say what we want. He told me to "f * off" along with other hellish profanities and accused Christians as killers. He then drove off. I took down his license plate. Should I report him to the police for reckless driving or sue him for slander?

Does this make me a bad person? I have no problem with letting people make mistakes, if it will make me look better. I’ve come to the conclusion that to succeed in this world you do need to step on a few toes. Nothing is ever gained by just waiting. You need to actively take it, even if it’s another. Like how lions will steal, the cheetahs kill. Is it wrong that when I don’t know the answer, I don’t share it with others, when I know it could help? I’ve also come to the conclusion that I have very few morals and ethics left. When I become a biologist/psychologist, I plan to test on Humans, none of that Rat testing foolishness. That’s the only way to really see how it will affect another human. Is it wrong that I see other humans as creatures that can both help and be of use to me or hindrances that should be “moved” out of the way?
If someone else saw me as a hindrance, than I fully accept that person trying to “move” me out of his or her way. I will live and did by my creed.

When people see "Beyond Sunday Morning" as the name of a Christian ministry it may mean different things to different people. We are wondering specifically what the majority of people think when they see this name, and if it is indeed understood in the same way we mean for it to be taken.
