Religion & Spirituality - 8 October 2006

You know what makes me mad? Is that it's not ok to say "Merry Christmas" out in public bc its too offensive for some reason. And it is not ok to say stuff like "God love you" but its ok to say "Budda is awesome", taking God out of society seems like a sign of The Rapture.

As people who have been frequently reading my posts would know, I am 24 yr old man who have endured severe depression and lust problem for the past 8 years. It is my flaws, weaknesses which I have tried extremely hard to get rid of.
I hate them so much that I even hate thinking about it. It gives me so much pains thinking about all the pains they are giving/have given me in my life. So far in my life, all my efforts have been futile or unsuccessful to overcome them. It feels weird sometimes because I have been able to stay free from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, but not these 2 problems.
Some people suggested to me that maybe I should accept them as part of who I am instead of torturing myself over not being able to overcome them.
How can I accept things that have given me indescribable pains in my life as part of who I am?

what is your understanding about one of the ten commandments saying... "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the image of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5You shall not BOW down to them or worship them"

If you think you can prove it, anwer my questions and take me to a sight where I can see actual fossils were a fish is gradually turning into a frog or a monkey is gradually turning into a human. No cartoons ok. I need actual photos of fossils.

1) How is it that the celeocanth, a species that has existed for 60 million years, hasn't change one bit. the celeocanth isn't the only example either. THere are also sharks, lizards, and crocodiles.

2) how do cells bond to make bigger creatures. Give me a chemical formula or some solid biological proof that they can. THey had to if everything evolved from a single celled lifeform.

3) how do we know that the archeoptyrex wasn't just some weird animal like the platypus. WHo says that it was a cross between a bird and a dinosaur.

4) how can we be the descendants of bacteria or other single celled lifeforms? If thats true, then every time we wash our hands with anti-bacterial soap, we kill our ancestors.

I really think the only thing that will change peoples' religious beliefs is time. As time goes by, people will gradually come to accept that science is the only way to knowledge about the world. Feelings and hearsay don't hold up.

There is a lot of confusion about when to celebrate the Indian custom of Karva Chauth in the USA this year. In India, people say it's on the 10th of October, 2006. And for most occasions, that would mean we would celebrate it a day later here in the USA, when it is the 10th of October here (10th Oct occurs later here by about half a day). Anyways, the problem/confusion about Karva Chauth is that it's not based on a date... it's based on the phase of the moon. So I guess it's possible that to be 4 days off from the full-moon in the USA might not be exactly the same as it is in India. So some people are saying the customs should be observed on the 9th in the USA and others are saying we should stick to the 10th.

...burning all the priceless Mayan books, robbing us all of their knowledge. In his words: We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction." He left future generations with a mixed legacy in his writings which contain much valuable information on pre-Columbian Maya civilization, and his actions which destroyed much of that civilization's history, literature, and traditions.

Can anyone tell me how the tortures, destruction and genocides of peoples in the spreading of Christianity justifies these horrendous acts?

Animal, the drummer from Dr. Teeth's band, has asked me out on a date. He's clearly a monster, and I'm a humanoid puppet. Do you think it will work, religiously speaking? I'm already having a hard time understanding him, and I hear he beats it a lot.

If Job was before Abraham Right?

Job 1:6-7
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And the Lord said unto Satan, wherce comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Is this talked about like this in any other book other then Job?

has it ever happened to you when you have been the type of person who almost all of your life you have believed in God, or in other words, since the day you were born you were taught to believe in God and you did, and practically all of your life you kept faith and love and yes, many times God answered your prayers, you had a real good bond, and then...one day, or better to say, one period in your life, you were going through a tough moment and you prayed and you prayed for help, for aid, for strength, for anything to help you go through this and you felt like you didnt recieve a bit of help from God...and you felt that moment that he wasnt there for you at all...no matter how hard you tried to pray, i know to take away the problem since that isnt the solution, but to help you go through it and (and im talking this happening for a long period) and nothing changed, nothing helped, you felt lost and alone...God wasnt there for you at all...

has that ever happened to you?

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
