Religion & Spirituality - 9 December 2006

I have heard this story many times, but i haven't found any web site about it.
The rumor is not due to the witches he included in his movies, but to the fact he was involved in magick.

i do not believe in any religion or spirituality, i do have strong morals, i just like to rely on logic rather than faith. how can an educated person or a person who has any knowledge of science believe in God or any kind of spirituality and how can you devote yourself in complete faith to a book composed by different authors of the beginning of the religious movement, in my opinion a few copy-cat fiction authors trying to catch on in the praise of their audience, not trying to offend anyone just looking for answers.

I saw a recent blog about why don't God heal... There are many creative miracles that occur - yes, flesh growing out, limbs growing, and soo much more,
Jesus is alive and well, God is still Alpha and Omega.

For me it is just something that feels right for me. Believing in God makes me feel like I'm faking it and Atheism is too closed off to any possibility of God. Is that the way it is for others or is there a reason that makes you think Agnosticism is right. Also, do you think the question of God's existience is unknowable for everyone or is it just a personal matter.
Any thought you have on this is appreciated and if you are one of those people who claim Agnostics are weak and can't make up their minds, you need to back that up with reasons why you think that.

For example following the writings of Gil Baillie, Miroslav Volf, etc.

It could be interesting for some to know that such a movement exists.

Why is it everytime someone asks a question about Christianity, Jewish people are quick to say mean things about it? For example, about Jesus. Jews always say rude things about that topic. Why is it Jews bash on Christianity?

The question is only posed to him once.
Worshipping Jesus violates the 1st Commandment if he wasn't God.
No one "Worships", Flesh Jesus in the Bible? He prohibits them from doing so.
And all the debate over his death and resurrection takes attention away from his better teachings.

Seriously, what does him being the Son of God change about his message>?

IF YOU CAN'T STEP OUT OF YOUR "JESUS IS GOD" BOX, why bother to answer this horribly "apocraphal" question. You should have better Christian Things to do than worry about some silly hippie on-line.

Evolution is the opposite of chance, but a lot of people seem unaware of that. Is it a failure of public education, or is this confusing coming from elsewhere?

Some of the answers I read that Christians have written seem to be full of silliness and nonsense. Do they ever look at something they've written, like "When the floods came, the angels put off their human bodies they made for themselves and returned to heaven" and then think "whoa, that's the whackiest thing I ever read... hey, I wrote that!"

I've read the Bible, of course there is a lot of text which should be read in context.

But wouldn't it have been easier if it has emoticons? I think Jesus meant many things kinda ironic. I do think some texts are meant to be taken sarcastical. Some lines are probably said with a huge laugh. Emoticons could have helped. God is allknowing, he knew we'd invent them anyway.

In quotes for this reason: http://www.amazon.com/Body-Bears-Burden-Dissociation-Disease/dp/0789012464

Does that mean the mind bears the body?
And what bears the mind?

Bible quotations will get thumbs down. So will other religious texts! I'm looking for own answers. He might have created us in his image but i'm sure he wanted us to think for ourselves too otherwise we WOULD be more like the great apes and grunt our way through life.

I found the book a bit too technical for general reading.

Bah Humbug!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam

"All five major schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that a sane male apostate must be executed. A female apostate may be put to death, according to some schools, or imprisoned, according to others." To be fair to muslims they are slowly editing out this law in more moderate places. If you change what you religion is isnt that proof that it never made sense in the first place? (selective moralty)

http://www.sunna.info/Lessons/islam_333.html
(muslim site)

"He who takes for himself a religion other than Islam and dies on that status will be a loser on the Day of Judgment and his eternal abode is Hellfire, where the torture does not cease nor decrease. Allah does not forgive the one who dies non-Muslim, nor will any of his good deeds done in this lifetime be accepted from him." That sounds like some other religion which edited it self out of violence.

Please dont tell me how Christianty was(is) violent since im not a Christian

I don't think faith has ever been to blame for any war or tragedy. I think stupidity is always to blame. Blind faith, insists that You are too stupid to follow your own reason. So by definition, to accept something blindly, is to accept that your reasoning capabilities are worthless. Now, if you really are that stupid, then faith is perfect for you. It's best not to rely on yourself, and instead to hope that someone else is looking out for you. In such a case, all you can do is have faith, and it's not your fault. Alot of religions would have you believe, that no human can have a reasonable thought on their own. They put humans down as being no more intelligent than beasts, and then try to blame them for behaving sinfully. Faith in violence, is stupid. Faith in kindness, when no other path is reasonably clear.. to me is a good thing. When you don't know the right path from the wrong path.. having faith in a reasonable concept to guide you, to me at least, is a very good thing..

I've asked over 600 questions on this forum. There is not one question on which I can find answers where at least 5 Christians agree on the same point of view about what the Bible says.

Well, they agree on one thing...If I "read the Bible it will all be clear to me". Somehow, seeing that I hardly can't find believers that agree with eachother, I don't have faith that that's true.

So, why is God's word so vague?

Shouldn't people be married in the eyes of their creator, and not in the eyes of the state? Separation of Church and State should leave marriages to be between the couple and God, not the Couple, God and the government.
