Given that the law was amended so that you had no choice in the matter, you were not allowed to be an aethiest or agnostic, you must have a religion and attend weekly services etc, which religion would you choose and why?

The most interesting and mentally stimulating gets the best answer points...... - and if you believe that :)

I am wanting a tattoo that has some kind of symbolism meaning that I am in control of my own destiny.

By no means is this meant to be disrespectful.

I know that followers of Christ are called Christians.
Followers of Judaism are called Jews.
Follwers of Buddah are Buddists.

Why are followers of Islam called Muslim? Again, not trying to be disrespectful. It just struck me today as odd.

My "Fairy God Daughter" will be born into this world during the next several hours. She will have Caucasian, Native American (Ojibiwe) and African American lineages. As her "Fairy God Father", what blessings can I give her as I hold her in my arms for the first time tonight? Suggestions for poems, blessings, wishes, prayers, traditional words and rituals from a wide variety of religious, spiritual, cultural and ethnic backgrounds are welcome.

Is it possible that Jesus doesn't want Christian theology to be an extension of Greek or Hellenistic philosophy?

christians are jealous of my beauty

2006-11-17 06:54:22 · 4 answers · asked by Anonymous

Okay, I just answered a post from a pagan who received a hate-filled answer from someone and wanted to know if all Christians felt that way about pagans. While probably 99% of the answers were very nice, quite a few of them said, "No, a real Christian would say that they'd pray for your soul to reach Jesus", and then they actually listed out a Christian prayer for the asker's soul/health/that she would find Jesus.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, truly, but do the Christians who post these kinds of answers - however well-intended they may be - understand that by adding their own prayers for the asker's salvation on top of their otherwise very kind answers, they are implying that the asker is wrong and needs to be "saved", which is inherently offensive and genuinely rude? Especially when the asker is not saying, "I have been a pagan for X number of years and feel like my soul needs to be saved", why do the people who tack prayers onto their answers not see the disrespect?

I respect and revere our Jews and I see them as the chosen people. However, there is no way, in my thinking, that they could have much of the original bloodline left. Does this mean that God looks at culture and national identity more strongly than He looks at bloodline?

Yes, guys can answer this too. However, this is directed at the females, Let's suppose that Eve was raised from the dead and was allowed to live among humans in the 21st century. If you were to bump into her, what would you as one of her female descendants do and say to her. I'm just curious.

P.S. Yes, in this supposed encounter, she would be wearing clothes.

We all believe in one religion or another or some people are agnostic or atheist, why do we have to prove that one religion is better than another. Why do we have to be biased and say that oh no, read the Bible, or The Koran or The Gita, otherwise you will go to hell! Why disrespect anyone’s faith, even if they believe that there is no higher power! ( I don’t want any extremist commenting over here, so please don’t, if you don’t have the ability to tolerate anyone’s opinion or faith).

It was just a question, cause I have heard people tell me that are Christians that they felt dirty when they did certain things in bed with their mate. I wonder does your faith keep you from experiencing the full ecstasy that you should be with your husband or wive? Just wondering
