"[I]f by 'God' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a 'God'."

That's the part I'd like your opinion on, but here's the quote in its entirety: "The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity." ... The source of the quote is Carl Sagan (my idol).

I get the worst treatment by so-called Christians. And all the time they are acting like they are so much better because they "love" Jesus.

-Would heaven and hell not be reachable if the universe goes on forever? It must be out there. Where else could they be?

When do you do it? (morning, night, mealtime).

How do you get everyone together?

Do you pray specifically for members of your family that are there with you?

Feel free to share any of your other thoughts on the subject.

thanks

i'm from the cogic and the old way of holiness was a inside and outside thing but now the church feels thats it's ok to wear anything and still be saved when the bible clearly says that it is an abomination i know this because in the bible it says that the priset wore breeches which is pants look it up ya'll and men were the oly ones that could be preist so why do we feel its ok god neaver changes although we do he loves holiness why do we allow mc donlles to give us a dress code but when the cogic says that women should not wear pants they march out the church you know if you really loved god then nothing that they ask you to do will be so great that it will seperate you from the holiness of god espealy if you are cogic because bishop mason belived and taulght holiness if he was alie to do he would not be happy with the church so what i say if yoy don't believ in holiness or dress the way that he set from the bible then you are not cogic because he founded please live holy

Does it not say that Muslims should have nothing to do with Christians/Jews and they can get in trouble if they do have an association with them?

My Uncle is Muslim, and I am a Christian. I'm just wondering how that works. I read some of the Quran in High School and I remember it saying not so many nice things about how to treat Christians/Jews.

It seems that most on here are Christian or some organized religion; is there anyone that considers themselves spiritual who doesn't associate to a particular religion?

How come nobody checks to see if the "facts" they have on the Catholic Church are true? What do people have against Catholics, and why?

I am a believer in God and the Bible, so I'm not trying to disprove my fellow Christians. I know that there are MANY references to current wars, events, etc. I just want to see if anybody knows some that I missed.

What will happen at the pearly gates to all those in the Catholic higherarchy that just move/promoted the pedophile priests from one parish to another? Is the coverup just as sinful as the actions of those priests?

Some people use a half of a verse to say the Quran says this or that when you read the whole verse it say the opposite of what the are try to say.

I am not offend when people use the Quran correctly. I am offend when they use it incorrectly.
