Religion & Spirituality - 17 December 2006

Thanks to the modern age of mass communication, there is hardly a person who has not heard about Jesus and the Bible. Well, maybe there are such people, but chances are, you'd have to live in a really deeply isolated corner of the world!

I mean, Hollywood movies feeds us little morsels of Biblical references - both directly and subliminally.

And unlike the cloak-and-dagger-and-espionage era of the 1980s, pop stars today openly sing about and talk about Jesus.

It is no longer unusual to see adverts that contain obvious Christian content.

And we know that politicians (and their weapons) do the talking and preaching for us too.

So, with the 'giant forces' doing the preaching for you, what else is there to tell the world? And is preaching about quality - or is quantity all there is to it?

Note: Of course, people still have to make up their own minds. I am aware of that. Also, it is said that The Spirit is a gentleman and doesn’t force people to believe.

If every human life is precious, why does God let us die? After a measly 85 years he lets us die, which is not even 1 second in Gods time.

At least we give a foetus a few months.

God makes us choose between heaven and hell, which makes him clearly Pro-Choice. But he didn't even make the rules very clear. He aborts us from this planet in a second if needed, for his convenience. No questions asked. No special circumstances, he just does it to anybody.

Scary...

Do you belive that god exists by fact more than the Spaghetti Monster?

Andrew C says, "Nobody that I know of has ever ventured a belief in said monster, and there is no evidence that it exists. This is just a way to avoid the real issue of God, who you KNOW exists whether you like it or not!!! Hmmmmmmm, so what he is saying here is that there is no evidence that the Spaghetti Monster exists, but that there is evidence that god exists. Do you believe god exists more than the Spaghetti Monster?

and in every respect aside from religion, the atheist is clearly the best choice, would you still vote for the Christian?

Why?

If he/she made the belief public? We're talking about a typical atheist: bright, educated, pragmatic, but doesn't believe in God

I went into many Christian libraries looking for a Jehovah's Witnesses' version of the Bible and evry single time people tell me:We do not have it because it is an alterated version!. And alsow every single time time they tell me: If you are looking for some books or anything else about Jehovah's witnesses,go to the "SECTS SECCION".

I know this is an abstract question, but do you ever walk around in this world and just wonder---what is it all for?

Or more importantly---Why is it that Everytime I get something I want or need, it still doesnt "COMPLETE" me---it's like a constant void waiting to be filled--but by WHAT??

Does anyone else think that the gospel singer Donald Lawrence acts gay? I LOVE his music so I saw him in concert this last fall but I was blown away by how effeminate he was acting. He was so animated about it that he looked like someone on Saturday Night Live impersonating a gay person.

I know someone who’s very close to him and he adamantly insists that he is straight but my “gaydar” literally explodes when I watch him. Not that it matters ultimately. No matter what, I still love his music.

Does anyone else get this impression as well?

This is a mathematical inconsistency since there are 2 negatives involved.
1. does not exist (-ve 1)
2. proof of non-existence (-ve 2)

when you prove the non-existence of something that
does not exist, it makes a positive.

BOTTOMLINE: God EXISTS

i get someone who has moderate knowledge of apologetics say something like "but "man's" good isn't worth any thing because when a man does good, it is in his own benefit any ways."

to elaborate the point here, the reasoning goes that any logical atheist who does "good" will recieve happiness because he knows he is moral and that the he will recieve the favor of those around him.

but isn't that hypocritical? when a christian does "good", isn't it in the same situation. when a christian does good, he knows that he is in favor of god. that itself brings him happiness without any regard to the eternal reward he is to receive in the afterlife.

please, i bring this question with no animosity. Im not specifically trying to call anyone dumb or wrong, here
its just that i think i am right and i want to make sure that im not considering anything
