Religion & Spirituality - 8 November 2006

I spend a great deal of time forming my questions, and I still get many circular answers. Today after being told that I am lost, and blah blah. I have to admit it made me senical. have you ever felt the same? Has it gotten to you?

If so, why make a bunch of people (Buddhists for example) who are just going to go to hell... do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Since religious affliation is 95 percent a matter of geography, isn't God setting up people for failure?
In other words, if you're born in the Middle East there's about a 99 percent chance you'll be a Muslin: if you're born here in the West you have a 70 percent chance of being a Christian. So, if there is only one true path to heaven, aren't most of God's children being set up for failure?

My friend spooky just informed me of how combative I was being today with the christians, so we all know why they believe in god, but what would it take for you to believe in one?
I wish you well

No, it's not deja vu. I'm asking this again because some utter jackass got the last one deleted.

My challenge again is: come up with a theory which actually explains HOW God created life. It must explain everything which Darwinian evolution explains (i.e. diversity, complexity, competitive interactions etc.).

I'm not asking this to offend you, I'm asking it to make you think about what you're saying when you bash evolution, and hopefully make you see the problems inherent in creationism.

Feel free to pass this challenge on as well, by the way. I'm sure Kent Hovind would get a kick out of it.

This was a the punchline to a joke about Northern Ireland which shows that even a devout non-believer cannot shake off the label that they were given when they were christened. Do you think we can ever shake it off? Is there an official ceremony to get un-christened? Should we be doing it to our kids at all especially when 90% of the parents labelling their children don't even go to church or abide by it's doctrine?

some people believe that sin is just a disfunction in once' brain.
So when Jesus forgave sins, He was actually healing them?
He said to the lame, stand up, your sins are forgiven?
i'm just interested in your thoughts...i'm not pretending to know anything here...

I'm not talking about a fashion show, but wearing the best of what you have...instead of wearing jean shorts or spandex and a halter, maybe slacks and a top?

Historians, linguists, and archeologists have dug into this question for over a century. Various archeological digs in Arabia and throughout the Middle East have uncovered the answer: Islam is a modern version of the ancient fertility religion of the moon god. Once this is grasped, the rise and history of Islam becomes clear.

The Arab conquests were made possible because the central powers in the Middle East had exhausted themselves in wars against each other. They were not able to fight off wave after wave of Arab armies which subdued entire nations with merciless slaughter, rape and plunder. The Arabs destroyed some of the wonders of the ancient world such as the world famous library in Alexandria, Egypt, They destroyed many ancient churches and synagogues. Anthropologists have recorded how the Arabs destroyed the cultural heritage of any nation which fell under their sword.

Who were these Arabs? They obviously were not Christians because they destroyed churches and murdered priests wherever they went. Obviously, they were not Jews because they persecuted Jews without pity. This is seen today in their hatred of Israel and the many wars and acts of terrorism waged against Jews throughout the world.

If the Arab hordes which swept over the ancient world were not Christians or Jews, then what were they? They were pagans who worshipped a pagan god called Allah and followed pagan rites which were practiced in Arabia long before the religion of Islam evolved.

I thought that Christianity teaches that the soul is immortal - after all, this is what we are seeking to "save" from eternal torment.

If the soul is immortal, then how can Ezekiel be correct? How can the soul "die" if all of our actions lead only to either eternity in Heaven or Hell?? Is this another contradiction in the faith??

Jesus also taught that people (His followers at least) will be ressurrected on Judgement Day. But isnt ressurrection an unnecessary action if our soul is immortal? Or, another contradiction?

After a couple of questions I asked last night, it became evident that Christians/religious people pray and worship primarily because they want God to view them as being ‘a good person’, and therefore let them into heaven when they die. (It was established that praying for someone doesn’t actually achieve any benefit from God, as He will treat everybody equally – believer or not). Judgement only comes at death.
So an atheist (or secularist, etc) will go through life being a perfectly good person, on the understanding that they won’t be rewarded for it at the end. Their good behaviour is unconditional.
A Christian/Muslim/any other God-believer however, will expect that they will be ultimately granted a heavenly reward.
Who is the more virtuous?

Please do not quote text, as I am not asking a book. I am asking for your opinion.

For example if i get a kid i will try to teach him/her about all the religions/traditions and spirtual paths and let him/her choose what she thinks and believs makes the most sense to her.

but would it be wrong if i only taught her the religions i believe in?

or what if i taught her that she was not allowed to study any religion would that be wrong?
