Religion & Spirituality - 19 October 2006

Simply put, what emotion do you feel most often, other than the love you hold for your family?

Elaborate if you will please. Thank you.

Why does this God let people be born deformed? Why does this God allow so much hate? What good is religion if all it does is create hate and prejudice against other people with different beliefs?

Let's say before a football game, the anouncer desides he's tired of this lip service moment of silence thing and decides to lead a full blown prayer to the Almighty for the players on the field. Does this in any sense of the word "force" Christianity onto anyone? If you were in a Muslim country and they prayed to Allah before a soccer game would you feel your spirituality was in some way being threatened? I think it's rediculous. You only have to look at this site to know that words to do not amount to force. Every atheist and muslim on this site would be guilty of trying to "force" me to accept their philosophies. I recognize that not everyone in the U.S. is Christian, but the overwhelming majority of us are. In fact, most of the immigrants coming into America are also Christian so the ratio isn't going to swing anywhere in the future.

"CONGRESS shall make no law"

14th ammendment should make this apply to state legislatures, not community football games.

why do we have to accept Jesus to be saved even if we believe in God, if they are one and the same ?
God sent down his only son, right? so there are two different entities at one point right? So essentially even if it is at one point why do people worship two entites, regardless of whether they represent the same being? In this case 2 different beings cannot equal one
Why did Jesus(pbuh) pray and have faith? As Lord does he need faith? As Lord Jesus does he need to pray?
Nowhere in the bible does it say that Jesus said worship me
My Father and I are one. This statement is open to interpretation, some people say it means he is God, however it could also mean he represents the word of God
I do not recall the verse, but a man approached Jesus calling him good, and Jesus replied noone is good but the Lord
Jesus was a human being in the sense he had human needs, he had to eat, sleep, he needed care from his mother

OK here is the story to my questions and in the immortal words of the WSIDR - What should I do?

A small group of young Muslim men got together at lunch, faced Mecca and prayed. Someone complained (rumor has it the person was agnostic) and they were told they couldn't pray on school ground - it's a closed campus.
The parents of these young men came in to fight the desision by the school. They sited the Christians being able to pray at the lunch table (I would too)
Apparently the Christians had been doing this for a few years, and the Muslims thought it was a good idea and got together.
The Christians were told they had to stop.

One of those children are mine. Any advise.

I just saw on the History Channel that the Catholic church will ex-communicate you for being a Free Mason since they have always been enemies. Is this still true, or have things changed?

with the Islamic World Order? Also the most Holy Site of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is contested, so do you think the abomination of desolation standing in the temple is the 12th Imam (Mahdi) or the false Messiah?

Or does this have something to do with the beast that is, then isn't, then re-appears?

Iran's President says the hidden Imam lighted aura surrounds him when he speaks to the nations.

why doesn't god step in and help them. Please don't tell me god can cure the sick, but can't enlighten people who can't make enough money or know what to do with their money. If he could turn 1 fish and 1 loaf of bread into enough food to feed the masses, then according to teachings anything is possible. Everybody keeps saying free will as an answer to some questions.

Please don't use this out of convenience. It's a simple question which requires a relevant answer. Thanks. Have a great day!

1)You know when you pray, aren't you supposed to face Mecca??
Coz when I saw this one Muslim guy praying he wasn't facing the way Mecca was!! I know this because I was in South Africa by the sea on the east coast, but he was facing south!!
2)Whenever I see mosques they all have inscriptions on the exteriors. Are they prayers or what??

Peace

the bible has contradictions if you go to the primary source, however the qur'an doesn't have any contradctions unless you use a secondary source and anyone who is willing to argue that talk to me

Who incited David(pbuh) to count the fighting men in Israel
God did (2 Samuel 24:1)
Satan did (I Chronicles 2 1:1)

Ok, before I ask this question, I want to explain that I don't mean to offend anyone here, but here goes. Ok, so what if you are right about God not being real, ok than the point of life is just to get as much fun out of life as possible, and serve others, then there would be no point for religion. But think of the flip side, what if you're wrong? Jesus is the real messiah, and God is real also, and everything stated in the Bible is true, then you guys (I'm not truly the one to say this) will probably end up in heck, if you don't change, so think about that. Now, I want to ask, why don't you guys become Christian? If you believe in no afterlife, than how in any way would becoming a Christain hurt you?

Please, I don't mean to offend anyone, so don't give me rude answers.
God bless.

Muslims are required to pray 5 times a day, yet prayer is prohibitted at school. Now, being out of school myself when this no-prayer law was passed, i'm not sure about the specifics, especially when a religion REQUIRES that you pray during the day. Can someone enlighten me?

There are many well documented cases of its occurence. Has this ever happened to you? (i.e you dreamed of something before it happened, etc.) In your opinion, what do you think causes it? PS I'm mostly interested in scientific stand points

Do they ever feel like they are only following Christianity because it is the expected route or because it has been taught to never question your faith- that questioning your faith is only Satan trying to creep into your mind? Christians: Have you ever wondered "what if I die and that's it, I'm dead?" or are you so devout that you would never even dare question God's existance?

In the public school system there cannot be one religion placed over another.
I am going to give you a senerio, and ask that you comment on the legal aspect (if you know) and your personal feelings and why.

A group of students get together for lunch. They sit around the table, hold hands, bow their head and quietly pray over their meal.

Thoughts?
