A baby goose is put in a bottle. The goose matures and grows. Soon the bottle will not be large enough for the goose. And, the goose is now too large to fit through the neck of the bottle. YOU think that you must save both. What to do?

When you talk to an assembly of people at church about affairs and the way to do things according to christian belief it does not remain a spiritual gathering anymore, it becomes a political gathering. In the hindu temples people come and pray and go home. They are their to pray and thats it! They still remain thinking people in everyday life who take their own decisions. That is faith in God not some priest who tells you who are enemies of hindus and what should be done. Where is the spirituality in christianity? All it does is create mindless robots owned by the church!

That Peter was the first Pope but yet he was married and watching her die was part of his own crucifixtion... Also why do they believe that Mary remained a virgin when it clearly says in Matthew and Mark and Luke and Acts that Jesus had siblings that were Mary's kids...???

Why is it that when you ask why life isn't fair, why there is killing, why children are murdered and why people are not giving the opportunity to live their lives equally with one another, all of the Christians say, "Well that is the work of the devil on Earth". But when you question the validity of God, people say "God is all powerful, you are going to hell for questioning him"? If God is all powerful, then why would he allow a purely evil creation "Satan", to have influence over Earth?

do you get upset when someone asks you about alice and wonderland-even bad people make jokes about hell like -i would rather go to hell with my friends than go to heaven with religious people-
well dah alot of religious people are going to hell

Muslims koran says if your not a muslim your an unbeliever and the 'spirit' spoke to Mohamad and told him "Prophet! make war on the unbelievers" 66:9
Woe--but wanna hear the real sicko about religion and hell--Muslims follow a man who at 40 years old married a 9 year old little girl-and said Aisha is my favorite wife-and they say it was because--many reasons-1 she was one of the smartest scholars in the land (really!!! see my past questions!!!)
2 it doesnt matter because he is our final prophet (that is a final answer???)
well some religions may be wrong LOL

Jesus spoke about Hell but he also gave the way out-not a religion-a salvation-John 3 "Except you repent and be born again, you can not see the kingdom of heaven."
wellHell?

When Jesus returns and sets up his kingdom - obviously he will expound the heart and soul of truth, settling all arguments about the Gospel once and for all. However do you also believe he will teach mankind new technologies and new ways of doing things?

As for myself I believe he will. I don't think we will traverse the stars because the Earth is man's domain (according to scriptures) but I think he will show new forms of transportation, better ways to produce foods to feed the world's starving and things like that. I understand that some people actually think we will be riding donkeys and living in lime-stone homes and tents as per the Bible times, which I find silly reasoning.

Non the less, I would not balk at whatever Jesus brings us. Now that you have my view, I am asking for your opinion on this subject.

Well, how about it? Isn't teaching your child your beliefs as fact a form of indoctrination? Is taking children to a house of worship worse or better than not taking them?

If we all wore the full body veil then the security for the country would become so bad that the government would be forced to do something. Imagine the difficulty id'ing criminals when evereyone wears full body covering or even identifying one another.

should we start a national veil day? and do you think this would get things changed?

Yep.......and many western people with thinking brains has been convinced by the Islamic principles......Inshallah (when god wants) the Islam will spread more and more until it covers allover the earth as our ( and all people, not muslims only) messenger Mohammed has told us.

Note: that is because Allah( the god of all people of book) has created it......and no man has touched its Koran....... :)

the question is: Are u happy like me? :)

I am interested in what people have to say about this. Is the soul purely metaphysical, or is there a physical element to it? Or do souls even exist?

Many Mormons know the Kroger Corporation is Mormon owned and/or controlled. Typically, Kroger has been known to own Albertson's and other chain grocery stores, like Fred Meyers in the Pacific Northwest. I've been informed that the 7-11 grocery stores is also Mormon owned.

... that they're going to convince other people to come around to their way of thinking when they're simultaneously being insulting to the people they're trying to convince?

Here are some examples of questions I've seen that fit this mold:

Why do Christians lie?
Why are liberals so full of hot air?
Why do Christians think that they're better than anyone?
Why do Muslims want to kill Americans?

Does anyone really think they're going to convince people to agree with them while they're being insulting and closed-minded, or is this just an excuse to use their question as a soapbox to spout their own doctrine?

I hear it over and over again Perhaps I misunderstand. But I hear it and it automatically points to one group of people being superior to or better than any other group. And God created us ALL. An all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving God would not leave ME or an other non-Jew out of His "Chosen." If there is really a God, he would not do this, to me, or any other non-Jew.

I mean that goes against the laws of the Church of Satan. Satanists aren't even allowed to kill an animal except if they eat it.

Why do 'holy' people lie so much about other religions than their own?

Just by burning him he has proved he too is a sinner-he did not turn the other cheek-he did not reverse time and allows time to continue rather than redesign his own mistakes! SO There!

When Billy Graham and those who preach the same "gospel" lay out a message of how and why Jesus "died for our sins," he then invites people to "accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior" so as to come "under the blood." In other words, my "acceptance" means his propitiatory death is appropriated to my "account." This is Substitutionary Atonement. Is not this what you mean when you talk about "accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior" and not a simple message of looking to Jesus and his message of the Kingdom of God. Is not this taking Jesus' good news of the Kingdom and adding to it the church's "gospel" based on what it believes about Jesus' death (i.e., "baggage")??
