Religion & Spirituality - 25 December 2006

I am being honest here so please don't curse me for asking. Man wrote the bible and this is the loop hole they did not catch. Adam & Eve, OK. They have children, OK. And that's it. There should never be grand children or aunts and uncles.Cause that would mean they slept with each other. I am looking for true and open minded responses.

like Sadam, Hitler, Idi Amin etc who ordered the murder of 1.000s of innocent people...Why are so many people worshiping him and condemning the others. Please don't quote books written by fundamentalist fanatics...though I guess that is my refference too.

they say it's politically incorrect to say Merry Christmas, and we should say Happy Holidays, but if people take it offensively, then i take it offensively that i cannot speak what i believe freely.

ex.
some people dont believe in it, so they preach what they believe in so that we dont say it,
but to say Christ or God or Jesus in a positive way is frowned upon.
then there's the people who use the Holy name in vain, and it's okay to the world, but it's offensive to me so isn't this a two way street?
couldn't i say, "i take offense in that because i am a Christian."

Romans 4

18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."[d] 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

There is a prophetic statement in Sahih Muslim that tells us that prophet Muhammed said that Muslims will fight Jews and KILL them all so that a Jew would try to hide behind a tree but the tree would tell the Muslim about him and ask the Muslim to come and KILL that Jew.

Is this a prediction or a wish from prophet Muhammed?

Was there any reason from prophet Muhammed to say that statement that might lead to hatre among people?

There were people in Iran who cried when the two towers fell, but were beaten for their "disloyalty"?

That a man on faithfreedom.org said he wondered if American troops would come to Iran because that's the only way to stop the stonings and the beheadings?

There's a certain peace to be found on the other side of war?

All my family lives about 683 miles south of here. All my friends have their own families or boyfriends to hang out with and I really have no where to go. I lost my husband in 2004 and I'm not an elderly person or anything, I am only 33. What would you do if you were me? Oh, and I am a Christian, so I won't be going to any bars if thats whats coming to your mind. Any suggestions?

Christians please stop monopolising our Pagan Holiday. It's got nothing at all to do with Jesus. Find out when Jesus was born or died and make those your Holidays....Then we can all have more .

If you atheists really do believe that there is a God why do you fight the idea and try to disprove that He exists.

Not following the Social Laws of the Old Testament. If you believe that you don't have to follow the OT's Social Laws, then I must ask you:

1- Can you marry your father's former wife?

2- Can you marry your own sister?

3- If you're a Hindu (male Hindus are allowed to marry their sisters' daughters) and you just recently embraced Christianity, then are you allowed to marry your sister's daughter whom you probably fell in love with before or at least had strong feelings toward, or was probably spoken for, when she was young while you were a Hindu?

4- Can you marry your son's former wife, or daughter's former husband, if you're a dad or mom?

5- CAN YOU MARRY YOUR OWN MOTHER????

The New Testament hardly contains any social law. It certainly doesn't address any of the questions I raised! Only the Old Testament is thorough and contains all of the Social Laws that define the limits of marriage and relationships and other social issues.

In the East of London in the UK, the worlds largest Moresleum is going to be built. England has become a place where every religion, race and belief has a place. There is now a growing sense of unease among many people, especially in London. Christmas decorations have been banned in some places, people taken to court for displaying ornaments in their own gardens, things like stone pigs?!
've been to several different countries, and I am a firm believer, that the beliefs and traditions resident, should be respected and left in tact.
The anger which is being felt from many different cultures in the UK because of this pathetic attitude from this group is growing day by day.
No body has said that a Muslim can not practice their faith, in fact, it's embraced as cultural diversity, which has made the UK even stronger!
Why is it, that Christmas offends? If I found someones beliefs offensive, I'd keep the opinion to myself and remind myself whose country I am in. Time to go home?

How much longer will people continue to belief in ancient myths about Gods and prophets? I don't mean this question in an insulting way, I'm serious. So many legends and myths of our ancestors have been disproven, when will the current crop of ancient beliefs (Christianity, Islam, etc) go the way of the Dodo?

I understand that these legends bring comfort to some who are looking for answers as to "why are we here" and "what happens after this life". I guess my question is, why don't we just admit that we don't know the answers to these questions rather than creating belief systems that have been the cause of so much suffering and unhapiness over the centuries? "Turning my life over to God" or "It's in God's hands" seems such a cop out.

Our species has developed to a point where we can ask various questions but nowhere near advanced enough to know the answers. Having said that, we are getting there slowly but none of us alive today will know the real answers.
