Religion & Spirituality - 28 December 2006

In every evolution question i ask of them they always scurry further down the rabbit hole and find another place to hang their "god did it" answer. It seems they are missing the point completely.

If one says that complex things need a begining, and that god is that begining how can they soundly state that god has no begining? God, by his very nature would have to be extremely complex, why then does god not need a designer?

Similarly, how is it so difficult to believe that matter (something that is undeniably real) has simply always existed, however it seems (to them at least) easier to believe that god (something that is highly questionable in terms of existence) has?

Think before you answer this time. I personally do think he does, so why the fuss about heaven and hell?

Hear me out... If God is omnipotent, then he can do anything. He has the ability to do everything, but to prove that he is truly omnipotent, he has to go out and do everything, right? So God has obviously stolen, lied, slept with his neighbor's wife, fed a goat, ate a lemur, hacked into a government website, created the internet, faxed me my memo at noon today, burped the alphabet forward and backward thirty-five times in one burp, worked at McDonald's as a night janitor, paid taxes, charged taxes, bore a son, raised a son, killed a son, etc etc etc. I guess the list is infinite... BUT, if God has done everything, has he written this question before me? Would he know the answer? He is, after all, omniscient, right? Does he know who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell before they are born? Is that not manifest destiny? If this is so, where is our free will if God is just playing with us like puppets? Please answer each question without using the letter "p". Thank you.

Yahoo News:

MECCA, Saudi Arabia - Some 2 million Muslims began streaming out of Mecca on Thursday, the first day of a haj pilgrimage where Saudi authorities are on alert to prevent deadly overcrowding as well as sectarian violence. http://news.yahoo.com/fc/world/religion

How pointless is all this? Millions swarming in a dangerous mass. Every year hundreds to thosands die in hajj stampedes and hajj related accidents. What do Muslims say? "this is an honor to die this way. they are martyrs!" Wow, guess there is nothing they cant rationalize.

What do they do on this deadly journey of mindless ritual? Well, its all about rocks. Picking up rocks and throwning them at another rock in a "stoning the devil" childs game. Circling a big rock and bending over in front of the rock. Travelling to a big pile of rocks and pretending to confront Allah with lots of whining and crying (bet he loves that).

Surrounding this lovely childs game is Allah's dirt poor Meccan Muslims. Amazing...

Why do you celebrate CHRISTmas (gather with friends/family, exchange presents, except a paid day off, etc)?

Why as christian we support Jews. Who killed Jesus. Jesus was from them but Jesus did not preach what they want so they killed him. How come we can love them. God cant give prefrence to any one because he is from a some special race. GOD is for every one and Jesus was supporter of that. Jews killed him because they wanted support from him to give power to thier race but he denied and he gave message and good person is just good and there is no preference for race. Christianity is for everyone not just some kind of race and even they dont care about christianity . If we are supporting them because they belong to Jesus race then why they killed him. They just want to make them powerful and they think other all people are nothing which is wrong. We are forgetting history because they are controlling our minds as well as our souls. Who are dying for them our christians soldiers. Why we support them because they belong to race of Jesus but they killed him because Jesus was against this

They had a website around 1999 and even published a few books. I ran across them on the Wikipedia around 2004. Does this ring any bells? They are rumored to use corporal punishment on each other and have a quasi-mythical belief in a world without men. And they divided women into blonds and brunettes as a psychological description( ie that's very blond of you.)

Does any of this ring any bells?

Oh and I heard a rumor they are on secondlife.com

I'm looking at some of the answers here about Christianity and I swear some people have some wierd, but negative, things to say about Christians and their faith. Have these people picked up a bible and read the New Testament, which Christianity is based off of or are they going on what someone told them? Is this information based off of one or two people you've met or a church you've visited?

I'm curious because it's sad that some people are so closed off yet totally unsound and ignorant...

I sometimes wonder why the christian faith, makes our life so dependent on a religious organisation instead of providing us a way of life ...? I know christians who don't feel good when they are not a member a member of christian religious organisation ...The christian faith seems to be like that ....it links our life to the religious organisation , we are a part of .... isn't that true that a christian can't live a joyful life without his religious organisation?
