Religion & Spirituality - 20 December 2006

For example, they don't seem to be able or willing to follow an argument to its logical conclusion if that conclusion would conflict with their pre-establised beliefs. Same with morality...

I realize the 25th of December is not his birth day, but it is the day we celebrate His birth, which is the same thing.

How would you have shown the entire world your complete love for them. He showed it with the sacrifice of his only son, but some say that was too harsh. would you have done the same or would it have been less violent?

can not fathom the depths of His Being? God said to really know Him we must first know the love of Christ.

So a komodo dragon in a zoo in london has just given birth, without ever having mated with, or even been around, a male komodo dragon. Does this virgin birth mean the baby komodo dragon is the second coming of jesus? Are christians going to worship the lizard?

I just need to know how God laughs when he watches our antics. Do you think he gigles or falls down laughing? does stardust come out of his nose? what?

If you do understand why I don't believe in these gods............ do you now understand why I don't believe in your particular deity ?

Remember that christians are atheists of most gods too..... i just go one god further.

I wonder how many will say...."yeah well those gods are fake but my one is real"

I am a practicing witch and I was wondering what others of you will be doing to celebrate Yule tomorrow? Lighting a Yule log? Or will you encorporate Yule into the more traditional Xmas day to make things easier for X-tians in your family? Do people, not just Pagans, separate the 2 days (21st = Yule, 25th = Xmas day)?

However you celebrate it, Happy Holidays!

I'm a faithful LDS, I'm impressed by how many people on this forum think that by telling me or others that they are going to hell believe that they will actually earn a convert to their ranks.

Putting down another person's faith is wrong, I served an LDS mission and it helped me understand how to share the gospel effectively. The more love and understanding you show, the nicer it is and easier it is to be accepted and leave a good impression. Most people will like you, and love you back and even JOIN YOUR CHURCH, and follow your example.

I have found way too many harrasments like, Mormons are a cult. They are going to hell, and they are not Christians.

I try to follow Christ sincerely everyday of my life, I get down on my knees and ask to be forgiven, I ask Christ to apply his atonement to my life, and I feel His love and His support and His spirit. I have a testimony of the restoration.

Bottom line is invite don't offend. Your offenses give Christ and religion a bad name.

Muslims are muslims and will remain such. Christians are christians and will remain so. Some are atheists, some are agnostics, etc. Some may change whithin...

But in the end, what is the point of discussing this, if most of the 'faiths' base their beleif in just that, faith.....so discussion is irrelevent---because if you have faith in your religion, then its based on faith, and discussion cannot sway you to another faith. Besides, 'God' can take many defintions--so how can you discuss 'God' if he is already pre-defined by faith? God is defined in 'general', as a 'higher power' than ourselves---this could mean a number of things: a concious entity, it could mean a cosmic force that orders the Universe, it could mean 'the way' as described by taoism...

so what is the point of discussing religion? when all definitions are tied to faith---and most of it is irrelevent in that we cannot prove anything...therefore, discussion is irrelevent.

If the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each have their own mind and personality, then they have to be three Gods! If on the other hand, they have but one mind between them, then WHO was running the universe while Jesus was a baby? It CAN'T have be the Father or the Holy Spirit, unless they have separate minds and therefore count as separate individuals! Also, Jesus said that the time of His return wouldn't be known "by the angels, nor the Son, but the Father only..." Doesn't this PROVE they can't all be the same guy...?
