Religion & Spirituality - 8 October 2006

I'm constantly amazed at how little people know about the Bible or the process by which it was created, compiled and edited. People believe blindly in the Bible inspite of the fact that the book was never authorized or endorsed by God!

The fact that there is no mention (not even in the Bible itself!) of God commissioning such a book to be written should throw a flag for people. Out of all the instructions that Christ gave on how to live life, not once is it recorded that he endorsed a book called "the Bible." Shouldn't that tell you something? He gave instructions on every area of moral behavior but never once authorized a book like this.

True Christians need to study more, learn more and understand how this book came into being in order to understand its flaws.

I admit that the Bible is one of the most useful tools for living, but it is far from perfect and definitely not entirely God inspired

What in your opinion is joy, and how do you maintain it? What makes you joyful?

Today in church, our pastor spoke on joy and gave everyone cards with the word "joy" on it, and had a ninja going around the auditorium stealing the cards. His sermon was on what steals your joy.

Just last week a religious fanatic group was going to protest at the burial of those little Amish girls, they had signs stating that the little girls were whores and they deserved to die, an anchor at fox news asked them what would it take to stop them from doing so, he offered them money at which they scoffed, so he gave them 1 hour on his radio show in which they agreed. Do you think that the religious protesting is getting out of hand. What say you? The name of the fanatic religious group is called The Westboro Baptist Group.---A.P.

The MULITPLE violations of the Community Guidelines with the "jesus is lord" posts.

It's:
Chatting
Repeating of posts.
Not a question or answer
and Point-Gaming.


That's 4! obvious violations in each of these questions.

Yet the "morally righteous" among us not only don't have a problem with people breaking the rules, they're ENCOURAGING IT.


Do christians believe that the rules don't apply to christians?

Did someone witness to you?
Nobody witnessed to me, God revealed Himself to me by answering secret prayers of my heart and bringing me to His Word. Over the course of about a year, He gently called me and healed my heart. What about you?

I love Indian food. They consecrate the food to Krishna after it is cooked so we get a little extra Mojo when we eat it too.

Please don't give me any crap about "original sin" either, (how the hell does a newborn baby sin?) Is it just a way for churches to recruit new members before they have a chance to decide for themselves?

I'm not saying atheists don't have morals, I'm saying atheists don't have EXTRAORDINARY morals (so far as I know). Tehre could be some ethicist I don't know of that was a atheist, in which case I would love to know of to destroy the stereotype...

Not trying to offend anyone here, this is an honest question...

Here's some good examples:
Martin Luther King
Mother Teresa
(and don't use the excuse that Christians have been around longer than atheists, my two poster children are both 20th centruy figures...)

now, please

think well and read this
5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

That after Katrina it was Christian groups that were first on the spot with food, shelter and medical aid. Where were all the atheist and Islamic groups?

Maybe those other groups need to take the beam out of their own eye, so they can remove the splinter in their brother's eye.
