Religion & Spirituality - 27 October 2006

Who else agrees with me that this is extremely tacky and uncalled for? I think it is so ironic that the drug addicted shameless loser even feels that he has a leg to stand on when insulting someone about their physical condition.

Also, for the Radical Right to use quotations from the Bible to talk about how "wrong" these types of issues are (homosexuality, stem cell research, etc), I think it is pretty funny that they choose to quote literally from the Old Testament when it serves them and to ignore the passages about stoning their neighbors to death for collecting wood on the Sabbath. I also haven't seen any of them leaving burning animal carcasses on the door of their neighbor's home or building homes in their back yard to lock their wives and daughters in when they menstruate (as it is an unclean time and they must be isolated). Which Bible verse do you want to use? How can you manipulate the word of God to serve your purpose and ignore it when it obviously doesn't make sense

My sister died, my brother died, my Daddy and I dealt with cancer---now my brother in law had a stroke at the ripe old age of 50. I'm sorry, but I'm getting real tired of praying and begging. I've lived a good Christain life (as has my entire family). We're ready to chuck it all and just be heathens!!!

...does that have any bearing on the truth or falsity of either atheism or religious beliefs?

Could this be the logical fallacy of appealing to authority (the opposite of an ad hominem)?

i would say that the original 7 deadly sins are outdated... and we need to come up with a new list...

what would you say that the 7 deadly sins of this milinnium would be?

what would be a sin that you could never forgive?

mine is HYPOCRACY... i hate people who say one thing, and do something else...

a freind of mine said that his is IGNORANCE... as in someone who does not see something that is right in front of their face, and then pretends that they do not see any problems..

a scenario, or just an idea or an explination would be greatly appreciated.

this will become a series of paintings/drawings or sculptures.

I have a beautiful life and yet I am not even contempt. I want nothing more than to be rid of this place. Perhaps this longing is not for a place where magic is real, rather a world where truth and beauty, in the end, always dominate. As I sit here and type by the light of my computer, long after the rest of the world has retired to the private room of their dreams, I sit and pour mine out for the world to view, and yet, for no one in particular. The soft music emanates from my computer, and it is so sweet I could almost cry. What is it about the night that fills us with such a sense of longing? After the protective light of the sun yields to the western horizon, what are those small and forbidden voices that gently urge us out into the night? It is as thought the moon calls out to us, “come and play,” and she always rewards us with a cool breeze for our face. But the people of the world see me out playing in the night, and they whisper behind their hands, “What is she doing out there, she must be crazy!” for they have learned to block the lonely calls of the moon, who simply wants a face to shine upon.

I would like to have a place for women and their children to go after they have left a shelter and know for sure they want to leave and stay gone. A place where they don't feel pressured and can get on their feet, build their self confidence, and learn the love of God. I would like this place to be a bed and breakfeast / farm, horses and horse trails, etc. a self supporting place where the focus is having faith in Jesus and building a life around him.

With modern medicine, such a procedure is both safe and painless. What is your excuse men?

(matthew 19:12 refers to castration, and yes, it really meant castration. Origen, one of the earliest church fathers, castrated himself based on this passage)

i know that premarital sex is wrong but how does God feel about making out? Such as French kissing? Any type of kissing? What are our boundaries as Christians?

Can anyone help me with pointers, etc. to help appreciate Buddhism, as a total novice ?

Lapsed Christian, I looked at Deism, Humanism & Pantheism. But I'm trying to find more personal/inner strength & I want my life back.

I'm not great at taking instructions - I never was in highschool, anyway. I prefer to study alone & learn my own wisdom, rather than have someone else preach their wisdom to me.

THX.

or did people do that?.Did god make up some religion.for the cave men, then some religion for the american indians, and so forth, as we advanced along. then finnaly got it right with buddhism, I mean Islam, I m sorry, I mean Krisna, darn it ,I really mean Christianity?or could it be Eckankar, which is the one true path back to the god head. if you are an Eckist,then Eckankar is best for you,but its not for everyone.so why not just pick one from a hat.or depend on what your neighbors say is best, think it matters, I think It matters, but which one is best for george, this guy told me he wonted to know the best religious path I have found,since I have studyed so many. is it up to me, to tell him?I think all i can do is tell him what I have experianced spiritually. or not?
