Religion & Spirituality - 6 December 2006

Why would you rely on something that you have to constantly reconcile, reinterpret, discard as "old testament doesn't count" (yet still use other things from it), & come up with complex convoluted answers & weak cop-outs for things that don't make sense or are just sick & wrong?

Don't you realize how weak/insecure that makes your religion in other people's eyes that you're trying to convert?

If you're going to stick by something, then stick by it damnit. Why be half-as$ed? Faith isn't about logic, remember? So why pick and choose?

Please use the link below to see the question I posted and look at the answers. How do you interpret the data?

Do you think some of the christians who answered will be dealing with some internal conflict since they bashed the very person they worship?

I apologize too everyone. I just get so frustrated because I hurt for those that don't believe, so it's all in God's hands now

I'm having trouble coming up with a reading of this passage in which getting a divorce was not a sin. Particularly where Jesus says "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery" (Mat 19:9 KJV). Is there another way of looking at this line? Maybe an alternate translation where it says something different? Or do you believe that infidelity really is the only valid reason for divorce, and anyone who divorces because of "irreconcilable differences" or because "it just wasn't working out" is violating a commandment?

And I also believe that man was on all the continents before and after they split however long ago it was. and did not initially populate north america via the bering strait ... does anyone agree with me on this point?

How many kids do totally stupid things without thinking, knowing full well the consequences? We still let them off the hook.

I'm like a hundred trillion times less evolved than god. How am I supposed to know he really means it when he says "eternal damnation." Maybe he just says that to scare us, or to teach us a lesson, and ACTUALLY lets you out of hell after an hour of burning punishment.

I'd rather have a sinfully good time here on earth, and take the chance that god and jesus are imaginary, then if I'm wrong, I'll talk my way back into their good graces after I die. After all, I'm just a petulant little kid compared to their magnanamousness.

Every fair society is a forgiving society. Any fair punishment serves a purpose. That purpose is mainly to educate the person on what he/she has done wrong, give society the time to forgive the person and after the punishment the person is offered a fresh start.

At least this is what the perfect punishment in a forgiving society should look like. The best punishment makes the 'sinner' a better person.

Hell is a punishment without a future, without a chance of forgiveness and without the ability to learn from what the person has done wrong. Therefor it's a useless punishment. It has no value.

So, how on earth can a forgiving God even invent such an unforgiving concept as Hell?

This is something of a "which came first?" debate. In religious terms did the faith arise due to the morality of the individual or is an individual's moraltiy based on the boundaries of their religion.

Anton LaVey said that god doesn`t exist and neither does satan. So basically, how are these guys different from atheists?
