Religion & Spirituality - 2 January 2007

felt like it was their duty to see the passion multiple times. My dad is a tightwad who gets on my back about going to the dollar show. Yet he went and saw the passion three times. Why did so many people feel that it was their duty to see the film? Did mel gibson give any money to the catholic church.

Attn: overly militant Catholics

I am not attacking the church. I am simply asking a question, a distinction similar to dan brown writing the Da Vinci code and then stating that it was a work of fiction!!! He did not say it was fact or an attempt to defame Catholocism; yet Catholics srill protested it. So do not pretend I am attacking Jesus or anything related to him. I am simply asking if Mel gave authorities money to influence clergy to see the film. I am not making a judgement about this even if he did. That being said, I am sure a few people will still attack me for no logical reason. Thank you.

Isn't is just so funny that Christians have an answer, no matter how illogical and irrational, for everything? I have seen pretty rediculous answers from Christians on this board, some even make me laugh out loud. Ever notice how Christians will give you a thumbs down rating, not because of the question, but because they disagree with you and nothing else? Thanks Christians, you all give me such a laugh sometimes. Ever notice how atheists and evolutionists (like myself) are always open to adjust and modify our beliefs based on new scientific evidence, but Christians NEVER bend their beliefs, no matter what evidence smacks them in the face. Talk about a closed mind. Christians remind me of those guys they catch on that show COPS. Even though the police catch him in the act on tape, the criminal STILL refuses to admit the crime. Even when he SEES the tape, SEES the evidence, he STILL refuses to admit the crime. Anyone else think thats funny?

Due to the constant hatred that comes from the atheists, I thought I would ask a "not really a question" question and see if the religious people think that atheism should be punishable by death (or at least by beating). What can be a worse crime?
We will see how long this question lasts. ;)

Do you Christians not consider revenge or "justice" killing wrong not to mention a barbaric hanging.

there are some people, mostly muslims, who think that the holocaust never took place. do they have any kind of evidence or reason to back this up? any references(not to religiously biased sites)? many just say its a lie by the Jews who supposedly control the media. it would be ironic, since most media is anti-american and anti-israeli.

I've heard a lot of wierd reasons. Some like "might as well" or "you'll burn in Hell". But this one shines...."Cuba is 75% Atheistic. Check out their economy." Thanks to a super groovy answerer "Get a Grip"!

Islam is based on the illogical claim that Allah gave to humanity a scripture (injel) via Jews and Christians, but that they "corrupted" Allah's words and thus Allah had to send trusty ole Muhammad to bring in a new book, to clear it all up and set religion on the correct course.

If its true that Muhammad came as a 'book repair specialist', why did Allah wait so long to send this warlord to fix everything up? Almost 1000 years of Christianty grew exponetially before Islam was truely established (Muhammad was born 620 ad), so, if Allah wanted to "correct" the scriptures he allowed to get corrupted, why did he wait so long to correct them?

Why would Allah let his scripture be corrupted in the first place? Can't he protect a book? If he now "protects" the Quran, why did he chose not to protect his first works?

The entire premise of Islam is illogical, it makes no sense unless your willing to believe in a stupid version of God.

The organized religions leave no room for other life outside of our planet. I would like to know how you would justify such a discovery with YOUR OWN religious beliefs.

why don't you all go into some other catagory that you all can be a possitive part of instead of harrassing those who may really want to learn something? (You can leave your sarcasm in your own mind we really don't need it here)

gays should not marry.... but if they dont marry then they are living in sin
gays should not have children ... yet there are millions of children needing adopted because they are given up by hetrosexual parents
these hetrosexual parents should not have abortions though as it is a sin

where is the logic in all this ?

It seems like none of it makes much sense. We have an all loving God that sends you to hell because you didn't believe what some people tell you from a 2000 year old book, that is only one of several religions that have millions of followers. And don't say you send yourself to hell as a response, that is a cop out - you know what I mean. You will get an ETERNAL punishment that I'm not even sure the worst characters in history deserve.
Tons of innocent people are tortured/get sick/die cuz God is still pissed off over what 2 idiots did 6000 years ago in the garden of Eden - why do we have to pay for their sins?
Stories that an omnipotent being certainly could do - talking serpents, the Arc, etc..... but if you choose not to believe in tales every bit as fanciful as any voodoo story, then again, you burn forever.

I am serious when I say I would like someone to explain this. I am really trying to have faith but with these facts it is exceedingly difficult.
