Religion & Spirituality - 9 November 2006

I just can’t believe in a talking snake, a boat that held every single animal, and all the rest of that stuff. But, I’m wondering if I can keep my options open.

Shelley (classic romantic poet: 1792-1822), begins by saying “THERE IS NO GOD”. In his first 2 sentences, he says he does not believe in a “creative deity”, but yet, he seems to believe in a God, for he states, “The hypothesis of a pervading Spirit, coeternal with the universe remains unshaken.”

What does this mean to you? He never seems to explain and he might have meant something I am not aware of yet.

He also wrote another essay titled, "A refutation of deism". So he is against theism and deism, but in favor of what?

I think the church could readily be classified as a services type of business so if you made it's catalogue (the bible) subject to the Trades Descriptions Act, as other businesses catalogues and brochures are, what would be left?

disclaimer: OFFENSE IS NOT INTENDED, NOR IS GROSS GENERALIZATION.

message: Why is it that atheists are so rude when i comes to religious debates. They seem to make attacks on christians not christianity.

added: I dont want answers like:
Youre stupid [or]
Thats just like a stupid christian.

Did anyone here see richard dawkins on the recent south park episode?
What did you think of the episode?
Also, does anyone know if dawkins has issued a statement about the episode.

thanks
(and I know this is the R&S section, but I still thought it would be the best one to ask.)

cheerio

I just can’t see giving a bunch of my money to a church. I give a lot of meals to grad standents and help out with their expenses. Money tends to be tight. So I’m wondering if I can keep my options open.

In the graves at Qumran, "burnt bones were among the skeletal remains Approximately 10 percent of the skeletons, in addition, had broken bones. There were further indications of a post-battle, military cemetery, installed - because of the practical necessity of quick burial -close to the site that had been defined."

"Probably taken from the libraries and synagogues of Jerusalem, the [Dead Sea] scrolls represent many ages and traditions of Hebrew writing, with their contradictions, variants and repetitions. The theory of the Essene scriptorium makes a romantic tale; but, unfortunately, little sense."
- John Romer, Testament

"In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scripture, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years."
- Daniel 9:2

I’ve been to church before and it really isn’t a good use of my time, it being boring and all. Plus I'd rather be in the lab getting something done. But I’m wondering if I can keep my options open.

In Rodolphe Kasser's book The gospel of Judas, The gospel that has not been seen since the beginnings of christianity has re-emerged. It contents, which is told from the perspective of Judas, suggests that Jesus asked Judas to betray him, and that he was in fact a role model for all of those who wished to be disciples of Jesus ( Abstract).
This gospel was passed off as heresy by St. Irenaeus in 180, only to be rediscovered by farmers in a mid- Egyptian cavern in the 1970's. The gospel was finally re-interpreted by experts in 2001. Was he a traitor or a role model? speak on it.....
