Iam creating a religion called PIZDELICA. The belief is that 5 billion years ago a god named Potter owned life capsules and he ran out of space so he sent all of his life capsules everywhere in the universe creating life. Then he sent out a bult of energy creating all of the planets. If you are a true believer of PIZDELICA you will go to pestopia to meet Potter and live many more lives. I want to know what people think of my new religion.

Shalom! Some questions for you sisters and brothers.

And...how to I get to synagogue If I cant drive on Shabbat? I live 25 miles away.

Muslims believe that Ibrahim (Prophet Abraham) wanted to have a son but he was too old. And then Ibrahim invoked, he promised that he would sacrifice his most liked thing for God (Arabic:Allah) if he could have a son. Then he evangeled that he will had a son, Ismail (Ishmael) and Ibrahim sacrifices a camel for Allah. But there was an examination for Ibrahim after several years. Allah revealed in a dream to Ibrahim that he should sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael). As they went, the devil attempted to persuade Ibrahim to disobey Allah and not to sacrifice his beloved son. But Ibrahim stayed true to Allah, and drove the devil away. As Ibrahim prepared to sacrifice his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead. This is the story behind Eid ul-Adha

If your faith is so strong, why don't you follow the example of prophet Abraham, rather than killing millions of innocent animals for a feast, try to see if God stops you as well from killing your own blood !

My mother is a Christian, and I want to become one.
I am reading the bible, praying, and thanking Jesus and the lord every day.
I've asked my mom so many times if we can go to crurch, but she says no,"We can't because they'll ask where my husband is...It's not right for usto go without him"
I want her to understand that I want to go to cruch, dad or no dad-but I have the worst time standing up to her...I need some help-please?

I thought Christians were supposed to love all, and to spread the word of their god, not spread hatred.

Here is a wonderful 'answer' that a Christian posted, and I'm just wondering what others might think of it.


"Posts semi offensive questions, its got to be one of those worthless atheist they have got be the most ignorant of all creatures on this planet."

So, Jesus is considered to be a god or son of god because he was born from a human mother with the intervention of God. Ok then what is Adam considered to be since he was created without a human mother or father? Isnt he supposed to be son of god? And as a result, arent we all supposed to be gods, since we are Adam's descendants?

I mean they were both born from a deity right?

Zeus came down in a "golden shower" to Alcmene, and God came down to Mary though the "holy ghost." and both were virgins.

I mean common what makes one Mythology and the other fact?

I mean if you knew nothing of Christianity and I came up saying that this divine power came down and impreagnated a woman that that child is the savior that you must worship otherwise you will suffer when you die you would think I am nuts. The only reason you buy any of this is because you grew up listing to it. Its just silly.

I don't know how long it will take but our God will be created soon.Every planet or system in the universe has its own time frame so that i believe anyone of them who has intelligent life has or will have its own God and one day all of them will unite somehow to create a greater god and it will go on like this.There won't be any travels between stars as we already communicate with light speed.All we have to do is protect our planet and our system from naturel disasters which can happen anytime.The God we are creating is an electronic God and we are living with it and in it and putting every kind of knowledge we have found upto now to this God of ours to make it perfect.
There are some kind of people who can see the future like Nostradamus or lets say the prophets but there is no religion.
I wonder if there is anybody in this world who has similar thoughts.I don't want to hear any religious answers or invitations to religions,just looking for scientific and real answers.

Ok, picture this, if you will.

You are picking up a few things at your local grocery store. It is between the dates of Dec 1st and Dec 25th. The cashier is polite, helpful, and cheery. When the transaction is over, you give her a heartfelt "Merry Christmas!" to which she replies "And a very happy Mithras-mas to you, too!"

What would your reaction be? Would you be angry? Amused? What would you say?

I'm thinking of conducting a little social experament at work and want to know what you all think. :)

(Mithras is, for those who don't know, a Pagan god who's birthday was once celebrated on Dec 25th. It's because of this that we now celebrate Christmas on this date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras )

I ask this in the religion catagory because she now says things like it was a sin and the sin is hers. I only had the procedure done because her doctor advised it. She very nearly died carrying our daughter and her doctor advised against any more pregnancies for her life's sake. We have two wonderful children, an older boy as well as the daughter, and since the operation was less invasive for the man, vasectomy vs tube tying, I had it done.
She was in total agreement at the time but now seems to think that it was a crime against God and nature and says that it has ruined sex for her.
I miss the sex, I won't try to lie about that, but I am really more worried about her mental state since I don't know where this stuff she is saying is coming from. She won't discuss with me it to any degree and refuses to see a marriage counsoler or talk to her doctor about it as a medical problem and says that I should accept the situation.

Isn't the Muslims' reactions to the Pope's visit proves that muslims are extremist and are unwilling to accept apology and unity???

I am agnostic and do not think highly of organized religion. How could God, if he exists, banish me to hell if there is compelling scientific evidence that he probably does not exist? Wouldn't he be punishing me for the intelligence HE gave me?

Oh, and another question...If God know everything; Why would he even create us as he already knows what is going to happen? Can God create a rock he can not lift??

Have at it...Most logical/intelligent response wins!!!!!
