Religion & Spirituality - 7 November 2006

I think we should put in an express lane for all criminals who are now on death row and for any criminals who crimes are so hideous as to be incomprehensible. Put the moderate criminals that would be left over in places like alcatraz and such. Then turn the left over jails into public funded shelters for the homeless. If you will give up tax dollars to house those who have no place in society, why would you not do the same for people who are down on their luck. Give them the same opportunities we give criminals. 3 Square meals a day, cable, a warm place to stay out of the elements, access to books and educational as well as spiritual help. Who else thinks this makes more sense than what we currently have?

Let's hypothetically say that this is all god wants from us and isn't worried about if we think he exist. (and what sould you think if somone say, "oh yeah, God exists, but I don't believe that his commandments are good for me". You can plug in the words in parenthesis if you're a pantheist.

1.You shall not have any other gods (before The Cosmos).

2. You shall not worship images.

3. You shall not be a hypocrite.
Defaming God The Cosmos with lies and taking his name in vain shall bring you trouble.

4. Remember to take a rest from work

5. Honor your parents.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not speak lies against people.

10. You shall not be greedy.

Luke 18:

24Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Do you think morality can exist outside of what men have penned. Is morality something that man explores and discovers but does not create. Like 2+2=4 is morality a constant among all peoples?

Or Is morality only true to your own person? Is what is true for you independant of what is true to someone else?

Or is it something else? To say something isn't just what you believe, it's scriptural is kind of silly isn't it?

Okay. It's 2006 and I'd like to believe were all educated. We all know that Jesus was from a region of the earth were the people are born with dark skin and all that. So why, all these years later are there still pictures of this white Jesus with blond hair in circulation, hangin on walls an in Churches and stuff. Knowing what we know isn't that kinda like sacreligious. Do you have one of pictures?

How? Are they going to force you to marry someone of the same sex? Are they going to put a gun to your head and make you perform their marriage ceremony?

This question is dedicated to all those (mostly christian, but occasionally others as well) who have asked me if I'm a "believer or non-believer" and then proceeded to offer me their "proof".

So, now that I'm a roostarian (J4R) and know the TRUTH about the MESSIAH and Biblical Prophecies, I ask: Are YOU a Believer?

Say Homosexual marriage. If they aren't asking you to participate, isn't it immoral to force your beliefs on them through the use of legislation?

Christianity and Islam have no 100% proof so why should it be bad to doubt that they might be mythological?

I'm just wondering if there are any. I posted a question that referenced why people are against the death penalty and have read many other Q/A regarding the matter.
It seems as though the only main reason people give for being anti-death penalty is because they believe that it is God's place to judge and not man's. Or they cite a general religious belief against it.
Others only state everyone has a right to life in a single sentence answer, but do not give any specific reasons for this belief.
I am just curious about any reasons other than these that people have for being against it.
So anybody who is against it for reasons other than 'It is God's place to decide', would you mind explaining to me what your reasons are for being anti-death?
If there are any atheists/agnostics who are against it, what are your reasons? Please give more detail than 'everyone has a right to life'.

I am an agnostic myself am very much for the death penalty.
And I'm only asking out of curiosity.

to give answers when asked and what they do with it is up to them not me. I do not feel an urgent need to save them. Mainly because I know I can't and I know they must choose on their own. Is this a wrong attitude?

Prophets state that the Messiah is when the Line Of David (Joseph's bloodline) meets the high priests line (I forget the name but its Marys bloodline). Now if Jesus was born unto a virgin, this means the two bloodlines had not met, so Jesus' brother, James, is the meeting of the two bloodlines. So is James not the Messiah? Just a thought!

I feel I have and my son has. I would like to hear about your experiences if so. Please no putting people down. Everyone has their own beliefs and opinions so lets be nice. If you don't feel you have or your family member has been reincarnated please don't answer. I know I have some special gifts and so does my son.

God is supposed to be the beginning and the end. Surely therefore he transcends the notions of good and evil and these are merely ideas based on points of view.
