Religion & Spirituality - 2 January 2007

Today the third of january, (i live in iraq) i was with my dad on the pc then i had a phone call from a friend saying "Hurry, check the moon, saddam's pic. is on it" i didn't believe him first but he convinced me then i went out to check, i saw it the first look it wasn't a special moon but then i looked so well in it and i saw the dark spots that we see on the moon as Saddam's face shape (the pic. is saddam's face turning to the left and wearing the military hat" ofcourse an unclored pic., I called everyone in my mobile, some couldn't see it but most of them could see it and called their friends and they also saw it. I swear to you this is true.
But how do you explain that, is that kind of mericals? and what does it mean?

I understand that you have to have faith in Jesus but I have done the walk a couple of times and I feel the same everytime. They always say I will feel a burden lifted off me and I will feel free. I still want to do things which I am told are bad. I do not understand what I am doing wrong? Is there something I didn't read right or I am going to the wrong church? I feel like I am being pointed out in Matt 7 21-23::::21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

What possible reason could there be for God to create primates with nearly identical vestigal genes. For instance, the gene for vitamin C synthesis exists as a pseudo gene in all primates and suffers from a nearly identical malfunction in them.

Since this gene has no function, why would God put it there? Is he trying to deceive us?

As his God? 'Cause by then, I've got a pretty kick-*** army of God's that He wont want to mess with. After that, his only choice is to worship me for the benevolent dictator that I am.

I am not even that old yet I noticed that sex plays a big part of this generation, prematiral sex does not solve a couples problems.
Why dont more people abstain and wait for marraige? What is the big deal about prematiral sex anyway? Isnt frienship respect God and love just as important in a realtionship? People just dont get married anymore.

HELP! Interfaith marriage and last minute jitter breakdowns...and parental chaos?
I am a very open minded secular person who is spiritual but not religious. My girlfriend is from a different denomination an comes from a religious family. We have been together for 7 years and gone through lots of hard times trying to balance each other's religious views.

We had planned an engagement in the coming summer and marriage few months later. Pre-ceremony jitters are normal things to a degree but my girlfriend has freaked and called everything off including the relationship, citing our religious differences as a causing factor, which she says makes her unhappy.

Broken hearts are one thing, but this is something I wasnt ready for. I have been with this woman for 7 years and we would already have been married were it not for our college studies. My parents (who are religious) initially were skeptical but have come to love my gf while her parents have always been apprehensive towards me and sometimes question the union.
Please help!

Mike Warnke and Lauren Stratford are two excellent examples.

Moreover I know a fellow who is an evangelical Christian and he’s told me that many pastor plagiarize sermon illustrations from others and claim the events as their own.

I’ve also run into a couple of Christians that claimed they were Wiccan. (The above fellow introduced me to them thinking that we might relate.) When I quizzed them it was clear that they knew nothing about Wicca.

So what is the deal with this?

I hear of people say that kids today are spolied and dont listen and dont want to work and that life owes them a living and I notice on TV that this is true. But in real life even in our parents and grandparents generation there were kids that were spoiled dont listen etc do you think society tends to focus on the negavity of this generation? Is this just a broad statment the older generation makes? Why isnt the good things that young people do and acoomplishmsnets they made are not publized the way the bad is this question as been on my mind so I thought I would post this?

im asking as someone living in the UK and i have nothing personal against christianity or any other religion. but i didnt think extreme views like i read on hear had existed for a long time.
like all none christians will burn in hell. the earth is only 6000 years old. eveloution doesnt exist. homosexuality is a sin. muslims worship a different god from christians. witches should be burned and complete lack of any humanity or religous toleration etc
is this just a small minority or is this as common in the USA(somewhere i had always assumed was one of the most civilised and inteligent countries on the planet).
if you live in the USA let me know.

in the God of the Bible. Is it because you know He exists but find His way too constraining? Or is it because you find it hard to believe in something you can't see? Or something else?

In the Bible, Genesis 1 v. 27; "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them", Genesis 1 v 31; "God saw all that he had made, and it was "Very Good"", But let me say, We as humans, and specifically "Americans", with our puritanical opinions, and beliefs, seem to stigmatize the idea, that our Bodies are Beautiful, We act as if to see, look at, or observe anothers body is in some how, going to have a traumatic affect on Our Mental State, are We so fragile.

During the last apparition, on October 13, 1917, the Lady of light revealed herself to be Our Lady of the Rosary. The 70,000 rain-soaked pilgrims who came to witness Mary's final appearance saw the sun spin out of its orbit, emitting a rainbow of color as it gyrated; finally, when this display ceased, the sun was seen plunging toward the earth causing the pilgrims to scream in terror. When the sun eventually resumed its normal behavior about twelve minutes after it began this inexplicable display, many of these rain-soaked people found their clothing completely dry,
