Religion & Spirituality - 22 October 2006

Do you believe that everything in life happens for a reason and do you believe in 6 degrees of separation. Not the Kevin Bacon thing. I believe both I was just curious of other peoples takes on these things.

I never hear "Oh, Muhammad!" or "Buddah!" or "Allah!" Why?
Also, how come no one ever asks whether or not Satan is real... it's always "Do you believe in God?"

I understand giving kids a general education, however when it comes to spirituality/religion, I think kids need to reach a certain age so they can choose what type of religion is right for them.

(if you have one)

Do you feel opressed by your chosen religion? Do you feel that religion is a major impediment to the progress of mankind?

If the ark has disentegrated or is buried under 5000 ft or more of erosion, what are the vague photos that are reported of it in the media? Many of us have seen the fuzzy pics of what "might" be the ark.
And no need for name calling, you know who you are.

fair enough you have no good answers to the question but how much more 'out' of your country do you want us to be?

Here are your usual answers:

"Jesus loves you!!!" - meaning the person agreed with you

"you're going to hell!!!" - meaning the person disagreed with you

"get out of my country!!!" - meaning "I have no answer to your question! HELP!"

"go back to your camel you sand n*igger!" - meaning "you REALLY got me on that one! you're good!"

and I'm not even Arab. LMAO!

please be a little mature when answering. there's no shame in not knowing. that's where learning begins.

Peace.

I am a firm believer in God and Christianity, yet struggle to understand the reasoning behind God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.

Even though it was only a test of Abraham's faith and Isaac was eventually spared, it makes me uncomfortable that God could ask such a thing in the first place.

What do you think?

We've established that men are wont to err (they tend to screw up). You only need to look at the news to find people who commit unspeakable acts on others (and YES, in the name of religion, too).

But if religion and God are taboo, what do you replace them with? How can you best teach kids to treat each other nobly? I feel that Religious virtue can be a guide for living with your fellow humans if properly applied. Even if you don't believe in God, what's wrong with the fundamental moral Code? (don't steal, kill, covet your neighbor's wife, etc.)

I am asking here---what does it really matter who believes in what? I do not know you, you do not know me, I am not going to your church on Sunday and you , not mine.
Is any of this comparing going to do anyone any good here on who is better than who? Is any of this slamming or opinions going to change how any of you really feel? I just see alot of people getting their frustrations out on each other. I do believe that any of you true beleivers of any God would not be pleasing him right now. What is the issue?

Was Jesus a sinner? The first commandment in the bible is to have children. "Be fruitfull and multiply" Jesus did not do this, he must have been a sinner.

What did you feel at the time? Did you feel like this experience was from God? If you were a non-believer, did it change you in any way? Why do you think God chose you?

"Our God is not only a jealous God (Exod. 20:5); His very name is Jealous (Exod. 34:14)." Since this is what the Bible has to say about God, don't you think we all should cultivate jealousy??!!

Would you just think, it is just luck, or just would have happened anyway, or that maybe there was someone bigger than you, being God, that intervened?

Most of us celebrate April fool day every year and fool each other. But how many of us know the bitter facts hidden behind it. It was around a thousand years ago that Spain was ruled by Muslims. And the Muslim power in Spain was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed. The Christians of the west wished to wipe out Islam from all parts of the world and they did succeed to quite an extent. But when they tried to eliminate Islam in Spain and conquer it, they failed. They tried several times but never succeeded.


The unbelievers then sent their spies in Spain to study the Muslims there and find out what was the power they possessed and they found that their power was TAQWA. The Muslims of Spain were not just Muslims but they were practicing Islam. They not only read the Quran but also acted upon it. When the Christians found the power of the Muslims they started thinking of strategies to break this power. So they started sending alcohol and cigarettes to Spain free of cost. This technique of the west worked out and it started weakening the faith of the Muslims in particular the young generation of Spain.

The result was that the Catholics of the west wiped out Islam and conquered the entire Spain bringing an end to the EIGHT HUNDRED LONG YEARS' RULE OF THE MUSLIMS in Spain. The last fort of the Muslims to fall was Grenada (Gharnatah), which was on the 1st of April. From that year onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1st of April, celebrating the day, they made a fool of the Muslims. They did not make a fool of the Muslim army at Gharnatah only, but of the whole Muslim Ummah.

People only hate each other because of their insecurities (unless they're insane). You can't help it if you're insecure!

"One of the most well known examples of megalomania in modern history was Adolf Hitler. A street waif, Hitler wasn't content rising through the ranks to become the military leader of Germany. His megalomania drove him to aspire to conquer the entire world. Being born into a "superior race" also wasn't enough for the mentally ill Hitler. Instead he wanted to wipe out all other races. This need to destroy everything outside of what he perceived as an extension of himself is a classic though horrifically illustrated example of megalomania. Paradoxically, a person who exhibits such tremendous ego and self-confidence in reality has such low self-esteem and such a fragile ego that he cannot abide any expression other than his own, for fear of annihilation of the self. Therefore everything that is not under his control is perceived as a threat."

If you are a religious person and believe in creationism or intelligent design (because you cannot fathom a world such as this comming together by chance, etc.), have you ever read a book on evolution, or studied it carefully? I have to say that I have read books on evolution as well as the Bible and the Qur'an, and I am still convinced that evolution is the most likely explanation for life on this earth. Also, evolution does not imply that we were all created by chance; it is far more complex than that. I do not mean it as a rude question. I just wondered how many others have researched both sides of the arguement, and come to the opposite conclusion as I have.
