Religion & Spirituality - 31 October 2006

I'm not looking for an argument for or against God here. I'm looking for a description of the belief. When you think about your belief in God do you get some kind of mental picture in your mind? How do you conceptualize God?

All the muslim world including terrorists, militants are also follows strict religious rituals like 5 times praying, ramdan fasting 1 month. And there is no room for so called jihad, militancy, terrors which is against the peace. Also compared to the other religion muslims looks god feared. Inspite of all these things militancy, terrorism is increasing day by day.

Do you think that God chooses certain people to get happiness and certain people to never attain it? Or do you think that it is something that we must do for ourselves? I know of bad people who have a great life, and I feel that I am a good person, yet I am all alone. I feel very unloveable and left out sometimes.

Whenever I ask people about faith, before they explain how faith allows them to really know anything, they talk about what faith does for them, they talk about the positive effects it has on their lives and well-being. Whether that's true or not, is faith a reliable way to know things? If a person has faith in something despite overwhelming evidence pointing in another direction, aren't they just avoiding reality? There is a tension between the beneficial effects of faith as a tool for getting through life and basing beliefs on faith rather than on evidence and logic. Correct? What do you think?

now i know that most people i meet who follow their religions values are pretty nice, humble people that i call the doves of faith. by and large i see the problem not from someone reading a book and believing in it but by the people who take things way to seriously. an example i guess would be 9/11(official story) or christian fundamentalism where they have the hell houses of abortion. i dont think religion will ever go away so i think that this is more important to discuss nowadays

Why didn't he heal himself after crucifiction? He had the ability to bring back the dead and heal the sick/ill. Christians beleive that he died for them, and Muslims beleive that he did not die he was raised up and whoever died was an evil man who appeared to people as Jesus.! Because god would not let him die and be tortured. Please no profanity and be civil,

Human sacrifice is part of their religion. Do you think it is right? Or Hernan Cortes had the right to interfere?

I don't believe in god, so obviously I don't believe God commands people to do anything at all. But what do we do when people claim that God has commanded them to do terrible things? Or when they claim that their "faith" demands that they do terrible things. If they are basing their beliefs and resultant behaviors on faith, how can we possibly talk them out of them? Maybe faith isn't such a good thing? What do you think?

I've seen many passages in the bible that suggest we will live eternally on earth such as:

Ec 1:4 A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.
Ps 104:5 He has founded the earth upon its established places;
It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.
Ps 37:11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
Ps 37:29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.
Mat 5:5 “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

okay and here's the only quotes that I could find that mentioned people being in heaven, I'm sure there's more but I can't find any....
"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them." Rev21:3

People have faith when reasons fail. If there were good reasons for believing in what people put faith in, what would they need faith for? And if faith is enough, then why do people talk sometimes about evidence for beliefs they say they have faith in? Isn't faith the crutch people fall back on when they can't make a good argument?
