Religion & Spirituality - 7 November 2006

Islamic fundamentalism, creationism, insular religions,...
I think that athiests and agnostics are the only people who can take an objective view of the world.

So many people 'claim' to have the truth, so which is right? I'm a non-believe as personally I believe it is better to be open minded and live your life the way in which you chose, know what's right and what's wrong and you'll be a good and happy person, so why follow a religion?

There is someone here that has posted some incredible answers, but this person cannot be contacted, even through email. Why do some wish not to be contacted at all?

Is it determined by our family? Or can creed actually be changed by your heart. Is it OK for a child in a totally Hindi family to convert to Islam- How does he say this to his parent. (This isn't me btw)

I’m Catholic. My church's Eucharistic chapel was recently desecrated. Apparently, they found herbs and chicken feathers. I don’t know any other details. Why would anyone do this?
Thank you in advance for your courtesy and explanations.

who is a convicted child molester or serial killer can be expected to change their mindset? Most of them, it has been proven through studies of crimes and criminology, commit the crimes they commit because they live outside of societal value systems and do not believe they really did anything wrong? If one said he repented and was truly sorry and promised to never do it again, would you want them to live in your neighborhood? That is stretching it for me and I consider myself a progressive thinking Christian.

I phrased a question earlier, and I did not state what my religious views are. I did not say if I believed or did not believe in god, when I asked the question. For most who have answered my questions before, you know that I am a spiritual person. Most of the time I ask questions not just from my perspective but from others as well.
So why when I ask is man competing with god, and that in this competition is what gives man incentive to be better? Why would you call me evil? Why would you assume so much of someone you do not know? You do not know my heart, and have no right to deem me as evil. Does it not say in the bible that man will judge and call you evil in my name< being god. And that as a christian you should be the salt of the earth. Do you think calling others evil is demonstrating the word of god? Just wondering

I would like to know your thoughts on this;
The downtown YMCA received complaints from their neighbor. The orthodox religious church/synagogue/mosque etc (I will keep which religion out of it) says that the windows facing them should be covered for they could see the "scantily clad" women working out and this was wrong.

So YMCA, being a good neighbor, changed the windows to opaque ones, thus nothing could be seen. Now both the men & women @ the Y complain for no sun light can get in and why should THEY conform to people who should not be looking there anyway. While I commend YMCA for doing the neighborly thing, many people are complaining now that they shouldn't have had to change. I don’t think they should have changed the windows

The complaints received was concerning the woman body, (cause shorts and a tank top while working out is "so" slutty) While on any hot day, these people pass far more semi-naked women on the street.

So called Liberals have fought for years to keep the "Theory of Creation" out of schools and yet it can be taught as a scientific theory using evidence. What are evolutionists afraid of?

1 John
5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.

1 corinthians 13

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails.

Why did you accept His sacrifice? Who led you to Him? Has the journey been worth it? Please do not tell me He isn't real, etc., etc. These are sincere questions.

(Mine has the bear minimun in decor, we do not hang pictures and obviously everything is clean and everything in its place. We only have one picture in the dinning room with the 99 names of Allah written in Gold, I think that reflects me, as well as my beliefs in a sense: simple, structured and clean)
