I have been born and brought up in a pentecostal family. I have spoken in tounges several times. After several years I smoked cannabbis and I expereinced the same spirit and I started filling in holy spirit and spoke in tounges.

Do we not expereince some sort of orgasm when we fill in holyspirit?

Orgasm , holyspirit and cannabis takes us to the same state of mind

I have been a catholic my whole life, went to catholic school from pre-school all the way through high school. My grandparents prayed the rosary every night, and I dreaded it, although I admit it taught me discipline in my life. I went to church every Sunday like a normal person would.

Now that I'm an adult, I rarely go to church anymore. I just don't get that "spiritual" feeling when I go. The readings and homilies (sp) bore me.

I still have my own relationship with God, and I pray whenever I get the chance to. I find goodness in other things, like beautiful scenery, good-hearted people, etc.. I feel closer to him just driving around for an hour by myself, rather than going to church.

Is this wrong?

I know that "abu" means Father
And "Allah" is their god
But do Muslims percieve Allah as their Father?

I would like to offer an apology to all the atheist out there for the ways some Christians are approaching your questions, with insults and stupid remarks.
It's Christians like them that make me sad to be a Chrisitan.
I hope all of you accept this. If not I still offer the apology.

I am truly sorry you have to put up with that trash from somepeople who claim to believe in a loving God.
God said "if you love Me you will obey My commands."

And one of His commands was to love another.
so in essence I do apologize for the hard core angry Christians, if they have offended any of you.

My nephew (a budding free thinker) put together a cool little 7th grade science fair project. He ran an experiment to see if Christian prayer was effective. He built a maze and had two different rats run the maze. During 50% of the runs he had Christian students in another room pray for the rat. The prayers started 2 minutes before the rat was released and continued until the rat finished running the maze. The control was identical except no one was praying for the rat. Whether or not the rat was prayed for was randomized by coin toss.

The results showed that prayer made no significant difference in how the rat ran the maze. (I don’t have the P value with me sorry).

So what’s wrong with god?

The bible HAS been edited through time. I don't care what the fundy's thnk, it's not in any kind of original form. Chapters removed & added, edits, translations, etc...

The "church" Jesus told Peter to found, is corrupt and evil. They hide pedophiles from the law, spread lies about condom use, and place men above women, closer to God. Not only that, but they convene every few hundred years to re-decide what they should preach.

Wouldn't god be more direct, and not associate our salvation with such loose and corrupt institutions and the church and the bible?

God(s) have been a part of many cultures since cultures have been recorded. Was the arguement more convincing then? Were people dumber back then? What reason did they have to believe?

These days a majority of religous people are raised that way and just accept it, but at one point it wasn't and then people started believing......Why?

Kill those who are not Christian or Jewish:

You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20

Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10

Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16

Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7

Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13

Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20

Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11

Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don’t believe in him. Jude 5



Ignorance is bliss. Christians should not practice free inquiry nor socialize with non Christians:

Don’t associate with non-Christians. Don’t receive them into your house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10

Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17

Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians 2:8



Judge other religions for not following Christ:

Whoever denies “that Jesus is the Christ” is a liar and an anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22

Christians are “of God;” everyone else is wicked. 1 John 5:19

The non-Christian is “a deceiver and an anti-Christ” 2 John 1:7

Anyone who doesn’t share Paul’s beliefs has “an evil heart.” Hebrews 3:12

False Jews are members of “the synagogue of Satan.” Revelations 2:9, 3:9



Here are my two personal favorites:

Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want to or not. Philippians 2:10

A Christian can not be accused of any wrongdoing. Romans 8:33

I thought that Jesus was the son of God, but now I keep hearing that he is God. I thought that although they are deeply connected that they are still seprated beings. Your thoughts...

Why was the God of Abraham so involved in the middle east ex. Jerusalem...ect. and not anywhere else? I mean there were people living in South America during the times of the Early Jews yet God did not pay any attention to them. There is evidence of so many other Gods being worshipped yet you would think that being the creator of the entire planet you would make yourself and your beliefs known all over the place and not let that happen thousands of years after your son dies. Also what about all the people living in China and places like that. And what about in Greece? how come they believed in Zeus and thoes Gods instead of what the Jews believed...I mean we are talking about the supposed CREATOR of everything here. How could the greeks even concieve thoes gods! Does this bother anyone else?

If “god” shows him/her/itself to us than that alone doesn’t prove that Christians were right and everyone was wrong.

In order for the Christian faith to be true, than that”god” has to create and named Adam and Eve, Impregnated Mary, Jesus was the son of “god” or “god” himself.

Basically everything from the Bible has to show up when “god” shows up.

So why do Christians always use, god this and god that when the foundation of their beliefs is more focused on Jesus than “god” himself.

Remember “god” could be anything, but I highly doubt that he/she/it is the “god” from the bible, going beyond that I highly doubt he/she/it exist in the first place.

I do not mean atheistic individuals but tribes, kingdoms, entire civilizations that thrived without a god or gods of some kind and fluorished enough to leave some trace of their existence. Just curious.

i am a 32 yr old who was raised in a strict apostlic church. i have always been taught that remarrying is a sin. i was married at 19 yr of age found out my husband was having an affair and seperated. I did try and reconcile but never got over the instance. i met a man who for the last 5 years has helped me to raise my children from my astranged husband and we have a child together. i am so affraid to divorce and because I know I will remarry and I was taught that i would spend eternity in hell. i truly love this man and i know he loves me. like all couples where not with out our problems but i feel, know he loves me. at the same time this teachng is so embedded in me that i can't clearly make my own decision. I fell brainwashed sometimes. Just want to know your take and has anyone been a simular situation?

2006-11-29 06:22:33 · 13 answers · asked by weary minded 2

if god can't forget then he is not omnipotent and if he can forget then he is not omniscient

don't say that he could forget if he wanted to but chooses not to - because in that case he could never rule out the possibility that he did indeed once choose to forget something - its just that he now cannot remember it.

doesnt this mean it is not possible for a being to be both omnipotent and omniscient

are these good reasons not to believe in the christian god. Why should i believe him to be omnipotent and omniscient - when it is clearly impossible for him to be both?

i saw a few too many rude comments by christians who didnt have the answer. his question is quite valid. he wants texts outside the bible that prove jesus existed. im sure those who executed him would have documented something.

so the question is, please name the texts and authors outside of the bible, that talk about jesus?
