Religion & Spirituality - 4 November 2006

im so blown away by everyone. there are so many people that have lost what the true meaning of life and believing in god are. i used to be one of them you know. youll go to hell if you do this or that. but i was only 15. its what i was told over and over. there came a point in my life where i realized that weve got it all wrong.you cant be a true christian by a book and church alone. so many things in the bible get taken out of context that we have religous wars and racism against jews and blacks and gays. wake up people. look in your own back yards . being a child of god isnot being so sanctimonious thatwe forget what the true spirit of god is all about. i feel that if everyone just lived by the teachings that jesus shared , then this life would be better. having a personal relationship with god goes far beyond the church. love people. thats it. quite wasting your lives with worry about where well all end up in the end . lets worry about now. taking care of eachother. wake up and live

2 unrelated part questions on prayer;

I have noticed Jews and Muslims when in deep prayer they start to sway back and forth. I have a few questions on this.

1) What faiths have you seen this?
2) Have you ever found yourself doing this naturaly or not?
3) Why do people do this?

The cloth that goes over the head or around your shoulder for prayer. I have seen this in Israel. Few questions.

1) What faiths do this?
2) Where did it originate?
3) What orgin and purpose is it for?

When I was younger I decided to search myself and God out before picking up any books. I felt before there were guides and scribes people have had to do this in a related matter. Amongst deep prayer I found myself doing things that didn't seem of importance until I deen others doing it.

Just asking, Can a mormon marry a divorcee even if he/she is not mormon or does he/she have to convert?

What if it's the Mormons first marriage(virgin), and if they do get married will there be resentment by spouse and family member?

I always wandered what drives people that live poor, in lack of health, food, infrastructure,..., to have many children. I know sometimes it is religion, but I would like to dig deeper here. I know it is also poverty, lack of knowledge, lack of education on contraception, so I am focusing on religion and its role. An example (due to the sensitivity of the issue, I will not state the country): religious people do not work here, do not pay taxes, and live really in modesty, many times in hunger. But their religion tells them to have many children, therefore many of religious families have more than 8 children - who live poor, in lack of food, lack of proper education,... I do not understand this. I myself love children, would love to have 4, but do not have job, I am 28, therefore I do not want to have my first child yet. Even if my religion is telling me 'children are a gift from God', I am sorry, but to me it is not responsible to have them yet or to have many. ?????
