Religion & Spirituality - 1 January 2007

well i took the liberty of surfing through the old testament
and was shocked by what i read it seems the people we worship and learn from are the type of people that we know throw in jail !
one line read something like -if he shall try to draw you from god
you must strike him to death blah blah blah, you know the vibe
so i asked my uncle who teaches religious education and he confirmed that that most major religions promote belief in their god
over the the lives of others and that the bible is far from the civilized bubble we put it in today he said if Christians and Muslims
were to follow their holy book without scrutiny
they simply would not be able to socialize or function in a secular
nation
and it made me think
if i were to truly believe that there was a book sent from the divine creator i wouldn't care about the words of man nor would i allow others to commit religious atrocities against my belief system
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
The Christian god makes man human, then burns him when he acts like one.

Yes there is such a thing as Pantacle and no it is not misspelled. But it is obviously not a Wiccan thing either. Something to do with cosmic/mystical stuff. But I can't find anything that really explains it. Can anyone help?

outside the kitchen? I just read a girl who said she was lounging on the couch, and her mom was sweeping needles. Is it normal for Christian children not to help their parent? What is the Christian teaching on showing reverence for your mother?

I have Hyperacusis( www.hyperacusis.net), and it's terrib le when i go there and they have guitars and electric bass and piano Amplified, and use microphones. I realy don't know why they do it. It's not needed. The church has echo.. and what we need is people to sing, not amplification of instruments. It's a catholic church, but it seems to be a trend that Hispanic mass people want amplification. I really dont' get it. Not needed at all. the church is not super big.. It's small.

Well anyways, i went yesterday and the loud music started , couldn't take it and left. I'm not going to wear ear muffs or ear plugs for a place that is supposedly PEACEFUL and welcoming.. so forget it i rather not go. But why are they so ignorant about loud noise in church? should i call them or write to them and hope they will get educated

If there was such a thing as a completely secular country, with no religions (and therefore no notions of "trying to play god"), do you think that that country would be more technologically/scientifically/medically advanced than other countries?

Because atheists claim this short life is all they will ever have, you would think they would have a hell-of-a-lot of living to do. So it is astonishing that so many of them, waste so much of their very valuable time, preaching to other people that this short life is all there is.
It seems there are actually more atheists on Yahoo religion, than religious people.
Where does it say in the atheist’s ‘live-for-the-moment’ handbook, “go thou and teach all nations?” We can only conclude that, in trying to convince others, they are actually trying to convince themselves.

others' who claim your faith, and then proceed to lie, murder, and steal in the name of Jesus?

All I ever hear is "all of us don't do that".

Wouldn't it make more sense to at least try to distance yourselves from the psychopaths who are running around doing all these good works in the name of your Jesus?

It really does besmirch the reputations of all of you, you know.

I think that the right-wing nuts are merely the military arm of your organization, and that the rest of you are just following along at a safe distance.

Just like you have been doing for 2000 years now...

So which is it? Are we talking about 2 seperate guys here? or are they the one and the same? and if they are the same, then how can God create himself through an immaculate conception.

Basically what I want to know is, why does religion keep chopping and changing its story all the time. I can barely keep up.

or was it written to be a simple work of fiction to keep the people of those times in some kind of social order. maybe some sort of politician in those days decided to create this great story to gain riches, have the unconditional support of the people, and to manipulate generations to come.

hey, it kind of sounds like our world today.

I believe that science enhances the biblical worldview. So far, science hasn't proved God wrong.
