Religion & Spirituality - 2 December 2006

I have been member of two churches in my life, the catholic church in which I was born and baptized and also the adventist church I joined 24 years later. But, the second choice was a cult, and I regreted all my life I have joined this church, full of spiritual abuse and false teaching ..I left this church ..but, now because of the former teaching of this church I cannot go further in spirituality and have problem accepting other spirituality as good too ..I can't even come back to my former faith yet, because, I'm very troubled and suffer spiritual traumas..I cannot be neither protestant nor catholic, nor join any sect in christianity , I am afraid of them ...they seem to provide a teaching of enslavement which I cannot accept ..I prefer a religion who teaches to love God, and the religion itself, as it were God himself...
I amd now out of spirituality now, ..I don't believe in the church, at once, I believe in the core teaching ..

There is a commandment that says we shouldn't kill, and yet there are many references in the bible as to when it's acceptable to kill. (Homosexuals especially should be put to death).
And then there's the Islamic view. Gays aren't exactly celebrated, are they!?
I think god secretly prefers the murderers, doesn't he!?
The commandments are just political correctness.

Just a short version in your own words.

Merry Christmas.

Just curious. In Exodus, God sends the Angel of Death to kill all the firstborn children of Egypt. And the firstborn cattle. (Cattle?)

But what if someone had just conceived. Did God kill the stem cells?

I think these stuff is getting old and annoying but what do you guys think?
I have no idea what Christianity is all about.
Did Jesus tell you guys to learn to hate difference(Is he racist)?
Or some guy added that on the bible?
Do you prefer this?

I have asked a number of questions about evolution and ended up on the recieving end of a certain amount of abuse. I have appreciated the reasoned arguments of many evolutions, but I just wondered why a small number of evolutionist YA participants resort to these personal attacks. It's not as though I'm attacking them personally. This is not a complaint or a personal attack of my own, I'm just curious about why these ones feel that way. If you could take the time to explain your position with regard to evolution and creation, God and Atheism, etc, that would be nice and much appreciated. Thankyou very much.

Christ wasnt even born this time of the year. you are not even shure when he was.?

Thus, why celbrate his b-day on a Pegan Holiday. I know fora Fact Christain stoled the Pegan day for Winter Solsist. and Kill pegan for cebrating it. If that is "love thy neighbor as your self" Then does taht mean you want the Pegaons to kill you for tking a day tht isnt yours. I maen come on. If you saw Buaddah advertise as much you do Christ on this Month of the year. you think and do the same thing as iam am doing., So What is the differance

The Code of Hammurabi was written before the Mosaic laws. Many believe there to be a direct dependence on the part of the latter. This may or may not be true. However, what is a very significant ethical difference between the two?

People assume its because I'm racist (though don't know how they work that out!) or that I hate people or some other weird and wonderful excuse!

My dad's cousin even told me its because deep downI know God loves me but I can't bring myself to admit it!?! What?!

I do not beleive in religion full stop, I think its fine for other people if that's what they believe, I don't have a problem with it & don't give them a hard time so why do they give me such a hard time about not wanting to believe.

I believe in education & reasoning & scientific fact, books are my bibles, why is that so hard to accept?!

What do you think?

Do you get the same?

Or do you believe in God/Allah/Whoever & can tell me why you're so insistant that people should believe when they don't want to!?

cruel and then you end up hating them. How is it possible?
I am studying at university for a Law Degree and recently went to collect my mum from work. She was angry with her work mates and took it out on me telling me that I was at the bottom of the scrap heap and that she should have had an abortion. She then told me that my brother who is a driver is doing better than I am.[ I applied for the job for my brother without him knowing and sent the company a CV and letterfrom which he got an interview - he had been out of work for 4 years before this]... ..
She does and says things like this quite often and I have ended up growing to hate her but it is also affecting me as I only have these thoughts when she is in my life. Christians say you have to forgive and all that.. but do they say that you have to forgive someone who keeps tormenting you emotionally and just allow it to happen just because Jesus also suffered. All this respect your mother and father... even when they hurt you?

Do you think it vile? I find it very threatening and dishonorable. They who fight the urges will be rewarded someday for the effort. People who do it need help and the ones who think its fine to do so should be ashamed for that thought. They have to strap on a pair and cleanse thir brains. Agreed?

that everyone loses 21 grams at the point of death? I just watched this Sean Penn movie (it was pretty good) wherein the character states that at the end of the movie. By the way, he adds the tag, "What do we gain.....what do we gain?"
