Religion & Spirituality - 1 November 2006

Acts 4:32All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

I'd prefer non-atheists answer this, but do as you will.

Also, PLEASE NOTE I am NOT talking about offensive questions. I'm talking about factual questions, curiosity, and again, spiritual questions.

Was it only Muhammad that wrote ithe book or did he have scribes helping him?

How long did it take to write the entire book?

Where are the original writtings done by Muhammad?

Many people question the translation of the Holy Bible from ancient language to today's English. Who did the translating of the original Quran into other languages? Was the original written in Arabic?

What is the proper name - Qura'n/Quran/Koran? And what does 'Quran' mean?

Thank you for your answers!

would you really wish for it to be the Bible? Honest, now.

I find that scenario to be a description of hell, as I am an avid reader - of history, science, literature, etc.

I have tried to read the Bible cover to cover on three separate occasions and each time had to stop out of sheer tedium and/or boredom.

The knowledge of heaven is like the man who had a problem with the insects in his house. He went to the cupboard and looked at the insect spray and all the insects left his house.

Who understands this?

2nd Law of Thermodynamics is about entrophy. It tells that the total energy in the Universe will someday reach an equilibrium that there will be no motion and no other activities whatsoever possible since the total energy has been dispersed equally in the Universe. Is my understanding of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics correct?

The truth is I never used to believe in god, but recently the more I look around, the harder I find it to discredit God in the creation of us and our surroundings. Furthermore, I find it increasingly harder to describe God in words. Please help. p.s. This is just ut of interset

Ok so lately I've been having this impending feeling that life is temporary and I might lose someone I love or die and never see them again -ever- and the thought is really depressing me.
I used to believe in god but I grew away from that a while ago and I've tried to go back to my ignorance but it's failed because I simply can't convince myself or have anyone convince me. Especially since I wrote it all off as false and now reading about the religions faults makes it worse.
Existentialism keeps coming up and it's seems like the accepted logical way in the scientific community and it's driving me insane because I am getting anxious and at the same time I really don't want to get used to the anxiety and accept the fact that I might never see my mom or dad or boyfriend again if they died today.
So is there any other theory out there that hasn't been put down yet and seems pretty reasonable? I'm just wondering at all if there's any room for the afterlife in the modern scientific world?

How many times do people say they,"I'll pray for you." and then go home to their cosey little lifestyle and never lift a finger to help a person out? Isn't that kind of a poor way to promote Christianity?

Contention:
Reminiscent of old theocracies of Christianity and Islam,
if the legacy that epitomizes Theocracies lie in Crusades and Jihads;
if money politics and self determination represent today’s governments;
Would the lesser of the two prone to wars and provocation,
Necessarily validate (or invalidate) secular governance over theocracies ?

What’s your take (either way)? Read well.

I hear this word thrown around in a religious context, but I have no idea what it means. Are wiccans witches? Am I way off and it's only a kind of furniture that appears to be made out of sticks?
