Religion & Spirituality - 3 October 2006

Okay, give me a list of the ones you have commited, and the ones you haven't commited, and how many times you did them in your life.

I borrowed these words from a post here:

WikiJo
Whatever is challenging or inconvenient gets ignored.

Many christians (at least in America) are down to only 2 sins: abortion & gay marriage.

Is this true? Will Christians do everything but be gay and get abortions? Well, I know of a few Christians that have actually gotten abortions too. I have no idea how they defend that...

I've heard a story about people who have the same capability of rational thinking as I have, yet they seem to believe that an ancient book holds the full truth. It seems so unlikely to me. They are called Christians. Rational human beings, just like you and me. Does it take faith to believe in Christians?

Why ban gay marriage? Would you be happier if they called it an affermation of love and gave them the same rights as married couples? Please do not talk about the procreation because there are enough children in foster homes who need the love that they do not need to procreate.

We all know that Osama-bin-Laden (SPIRITUAL ECSTASY BE UPON HIM) is the most obedient servant of Allah. He is the most dedicated Muslim around and Allah is very very pleased with him.

So, what gifts and presents will Allah bestow on him when he goes up there?

do you have to confess everything? What if it's your first time. Because then you'd have a lot of confessing to do! This is a serious question.

Summer vacations occasionally dragged, even though they were fun, so wondered when a kid (raised Lutheran) if heaven would be boring after a few hundred thousand years. Eternity is a HECK of a long time!

No, I'm not being snarky, and don't want diatribes OR extensive comments from ANYBODY'S religious books about how lovely the afterlife will be, contemplating the Eternal. But I'm wondering---seriously---how WILL we cope with such huge timespans? Will the Eternal blank our memories periodically, so each "day" is new to us? Will there be chances to nap for a million years or so, or will we get chances to redo/relive new lives if desired, or what?

I'm interested in reading/getting all sorts of opinions, beliefs, wishes, and hopes here, from all religious/spiritual perspectives---but please, let's keep things reasonably civil, ok? Thanks!

god should hide himself because someone can kill him ...

what should we use to kill the other ( the father-god) .. maybe a neuclear bomb will be enough ....
yes ... christians ... if I did not know that you are stupi*s ... I would think you are kidding ...

ANISHINABE

It is less a problem to be poor than to be dishonest.

No one else can represent your conscience.



APACHE

It makes no difference as to the name of the God, since love is the real God of all the world.

Even your silence holds a sort of prayer.

ARAPAHO

Before eating, always take a little time to thank the food.

Easy money breeds indolence.


CHEYENNE

An Indian, a partridge and a spruce tree cannot be tamed.

Judge not by the eye but from the heart.

CHIRICAHUA

You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into our hearts.
- Cochise, Chiricahua Chief

DELAWARE

Good and evil cannot dwell together in the same heart, so a good man ought not to go into evil company.

When you begin a great work you can't expect to finish it all at once; therefore do you and your brothers press on, and let nothing discourage you until you have entirely finished what you have begun.
- Teedyuscung


HOPI

You are never justified in arguing.

We do not want churches because they will teach us to quarrel about God...
- Chief Joseph, Nez Perce

I've been reading the bible for a while now..somethings are easy..some are not so easy to understand.

Is this real:

I've been taking walks and wondering about God. I walk almost every evening and I have found myself talking to God...I have noticed that I soon lose my thoughts...I know my mind is working but on a different level...it feels as if there is a conversation going on but not on a conscience level...I find myself saying things like...yes Lord...yes...yes Lord... This experience
is a very satisfying feeling. I find myself wanting this feeling. It's not the same when my wife or daughter goes with me...don't get me wrong I love them very much...but the alone time seems to be something God wants...and I want that too.

Am I crazy or is this real...has anyone else experienced this???

the nature of people is bad & evil,why?

2006-10-03 17:14:53 · 19 answers · asked by christopher_johnson25 2

Seriously, who killed him? Was it the horrors commited by the church/followers that made people realize that it was unacceptable? Was it the sciences that led us to see a more accurate view of life and our universe? Was it the inconsistancy of the sects of the churches that led to such subdivision and eventually disbelief? Was it the ideal of personal freedom and discovery of other lifestyles? What had the biggest impact on the disbelief in God? If I missed any feel free to add in.
