No Bible or religous text, and no scientific text of any kind:

Non-believers,what is it that torments your soul, and devieces your mind to make you percieve and concieve the notion that there is no god?Beyond a shadow of a doubt what is it that has you mind convienced that you would be foolish to believe in god?

The same question posed to the believers,what has you convinced no questions,no doubts,no regrets that you made the right choice to believe in god?

No science of any kind, and no biblical refrences;lets here it straight from the donkey's mouth.

Let's see....for me maybe it would be the simple fact that everything no matter how big or small has a creator; weather that be a table or a chair made by a human; or a nest in a tree made by a bird; everything has someone or something that created it.A pepperoni pizza has a chef that made it,an electronic device a man or machine,an ant tunnel some ants.It would be foolish to say we dont have a creator that made us.

I'm not really familiar with scientology, but as far as I can tell fundamentally they're both religions that are based on a book, (admitedly the bible's a little under 2000 years old, but still just a book). That consits of, what any reasonable person would read as fiction (i.e. talking snakes, global floods, people turning into salt pillars, and scientology has something to dowith aliens?, etc....).

So really is the base of each religion that much different? In 2000 years will we all be walking around worshipping aliens,and wearing tin-foil hats?

p.s.
If someone could summarize scientology into a paragraph (or better yet a sentence or bullet point) for me I'd appreciate it. I'm too lazy to look it up for myself. :p

I am trying to find out about some Pagan beliefs. I have been told that the early Catholic church had actually co-opted a lot of the rituals from Paganism of that time. Some of these are the celebration of Christmas, and Easter. I have been told that the worship of a trinity is from Paganism originally. I have been told that the worship of Mary was actually came from a Sun God's mother.

I am not trying to be hateful. I do not know anyone that can give me honest answers to these questions. I need someone in Paganism to help me clear this up.

Not trying to start a fight. Just get information from the source.

First -- is anyone here REALLY surprised to find that yet another person was raped by a religious leader during their childhood?

Second -- how do the religious, right-wing republicans feel abot this "claim" he's making? They always get mad and claim that this is a "liberal" cop-out, to blame others for their pedophilia -- now, one of their own is (once again) playhing the "I was molested as a child" card to place blame for their behavior on someone or something else.

How will this play out? And, are any of you surprised to find yet another child-rape victim from inside a "house of bible"?

Oh Praise God oh holy holy entity that created all things including my brothers and sisters of different backgrounds and races-colors and creeds-that only watches from his Holy Throne from his lonely Heaven with his angels in Judgement that will cast those of us who Ridicule his ALL-Mighty name because we see our fellow human being who only wants to be granted a life of Peace and prosperity and to live with his/her family in Love and Honor and yet we call these people enemies because they do not Live like we do-and so God My question is-before another man I know dies because he gave his entire life over to you-Do you really give a damn or are you just going to damn those of us that refuse to accept your prejudiced "Chosen Children" for those that as God you already know will be in Heaven with you-or do we continue to fight for dominance killing complete strangers based on the beliefs that we were brought up with just as they were as well and yet we fight because your GOOD TRUTH (LIAR)!

Jesus trusted the scriptures and he believed that Moses wrote the "Pentateuch" -the first five books of the bible. However, Modern biblical scholarship reveals that Moses could not have written them.

This begs the question: how could the Son of God could be ignorant of holy scripture when presumably it was the literal word of God? Is this not then proof that Jesus either isnt the Son of God, or the Bible isnt the word of God??

Can only be one or the other - choice is up to you....

They seem unwilling or unable to accept new information. I think it's called congnitive diffidence. I'm sure if I tried to persuade a Muslim that the Koran was wrong, he will never listen. He would think crashing planes into building for 72 virigins is fine, too. Religion destroys the human mind, as bad as any drug.
