I'm currently reading the book The End of Faith by Sam Harris, and one particular chapter is dedicated to religious discrimination. This topic reminded me that Christianity was seen as "wrong" during the time of classical Rome, and, while I know there was active discrimination through murder, I thought that the Roman's might've seen Christianity as inferior and "stupid" in comparison to the Roman religion.

From this realisation, I found that similar thoughts are present today about scientology, even if we aren't actively persecuting them. I also gained the following questions:

Are the general population's thoughts on scientology similar to those that the Romans probably had for Christians?

Is it possible that, in the future, scientology may become more popular, similar to how Christianity went from being a minority religion to the world-wide religion it is now?

(Note: I decided that this question bests fits this category, but a sub-category could be considered history.)

Before looking into any references, what does Jehovah mean to you? Now, look at a Strong's Concordance, and tell me what you think this word means now?

A couple of websites in case you want to look more into it is:

http://www.eliyah.com/jhovah.htm
http://www.ynca.com/Mini%20Studies/ishisnam.htm

(Just highlight the links (one at a time), copy, and paste them into the www address box.

Wednesday it was approved for human use in the USA. I will never get one, sounds like the mark of the beast to me. They implant it into your arm (for medical records) but it can also be used to track people, used as a credit card, and a form of ID, along with many other uses.

Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. 19 And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

I am in good health but lately all of my thiughtshave been consumed with a fear of dying and making people sad, and what is after this life. I was born a catholic and belive that there is a higher power but not sure if my religion is right or wrong. Since Priest, the people we are suppose to believe in hurt children. How can I not worry that if I dont believe in the catholic god or a god that I won't get to go to a better place. DO you think that whatever higher power there is believes that I believe in them, and they can see that in me? I am afriad to die, and not have the right religion or the right belief in god. Also why is the thoughts of me dying consuming my life?

It "offends" me :) when people get offended when you say something about God that they don't agree with. I think this society is too easily offended.

and saw that you killed someone. but you didn't want to kill them, so you didn't. you changed your future. but why then when you saw the future did you not see you not killing the person? because your future wasn't killing the person but rather not killing the person. so did you see a false future?

and i just want to remind you that this is all hypothetical. i don't want you to tell me how seeing the future is impossible.

As Christians we all feel that Jesus wants us to forgive everyone no matter what they've done to us. But if atheists have no God then do they just forgive who they want to and hold a grudge against who they want to as well? If not, why?

David Pilbeam, a Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:

''If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there isn't enough to go on."181

Why are there not bones of all the middle stage animals? A horse did not give birth to a giraffe, where are the bones of the animals in between?

Why are there no half evolved animals in the world?

How did the eye evolve? A creature without eyes could not have given birth to an animal with eyes, yet the eye is useless unless complete.

How did the first life form start?

I like to be creative and love to dance....do you know where can I go to express myself and having fun? Do you think it is wrong to go clubbing? I have friends from church say that to stay away from dance clubs or clubbing. What's your perspective on this and where can I enjoy to do what I love to do? What about social dance, ballroom, or something? Is that more better to dance? I like more trance, techno, rave, and hiphop. I just want to know where to dance and enjoy myself.

I have missed the last two days from work. Tonight, I had one of my RCIA classes (or talks) and I totally forgot about it. I didn't think of it until I was saying my prayers tonight. I think it was just because I have been sick, it didn't click that I had one of my classes tonight. Will this affect the process of being confirmed by Easter?
