I live in 'College Park, Ga. My fiancee and i would like to join a church. Demonition really isn't an issue. We would just like the church to be similar to that of Joyce Meyer, or the like. A lecture, more than tons of reading followed by tons of singing.

For those with short attention span: I'm basically asking if it is possible to keep a low level of "disbelief," or will religions just keep resurfacing?

Long attention Span: Usually the secularist point of view holds that these Bronze Age myths of Christianity and such persist due to their prolongues history and astounding numerical influence. The goal becomes to free their members of such delusion, thus substracting from their numbers. However, with the recent rise of Paganism, Wicca, and Scientology we can see how easily this nonsence can breed. Does it then follow that freeing the world from religion is impossible? For further clarification, I know that eradicating religion entirely is impossible, but is it possible that it becomes cyclical as new generations come into birth and new beliefs arise/re-rise?

You never see a Super Bowl loser blame god for his loss, or an Academy Award loser say "I blame god every day for this loss."

I wonder why?

Any time I am grilling some half wit bible thumper about home much they DO NOT KNOW and how much they DO NOT understand, and after I place piles of evidence in their hot little hands to historically prove them wrong on soooooo many levels....They love to try and dismantle anything I say about the OT with this grace stuff

"Oh well that is the law, and matters not, for we are under grace"

If this is true, then I ask you this.....

why do they continue to print the "law" if the "law no longer applies???

Or is it better to say that you only believe the parts of the bible you like, and you ignore the parts you don’t?

Warning: The way I have written this sounds "offensive," but it isn't meant in that way; rather an honest inquiry.

I can understand why Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikh, and Hindus* (to name a few) believe in what they do. To aggregate the reasons in its most simplistic forms I'd have to say the fact that they grow up in that religion or a culture that supports it. However, this is definitely NOT the case for (many) Pagans. Paganism is just some new-age resurrection of obvious mythology, and I can't escape but to say it is no different (in its core influence) than scientology or any of those cults out there. So I ask, Do pagans really believe this, or are they just trying to build a moral framework through the venue of spiritualism? I just can't concieve in this day and age someone who'd believe in some sun god or another similar god.

------------
*Technically Hindus are pagans, but for purposes of this thread I will exclude them from the definition.

I have noticed this question asked about Jesus returned a few times. Most think Jesus will return quietly like a mouse..lol Did you know a thief in the night in 100AD meant a large group of men that you could hear coming from miles away and there was no doubt what was happening? Funny how we get lost in translation.

..so quick to be judgemental of others? The worst for it seem to be those who claim to be Christian..surely their God is the only one with the right to judge?

I've noticed that among all of my Christian friends and all the Christian celebrities and fictional Christian people, none of them are named Jesus, except for some Spanish Christians (please correct me if I'm wrong). Is there a reason for this? I'm not a Christian, but I'm still very curious.

"Feminism threatened the most personal relationships in people's lives. Feminists asked men and women to think of themselves in new ways and to relate differently to each other.
If wives, mothers, daughters changed, husbands, fathers, and sons would be called upon to change as well. Home and family would be altered."
Hymowitz
I guess when it comes to basic human rights people haven't changed all that much.

How difficult would it be to make a battered and broken slave believe a lie?

I don't think it would have been difficult at all. I'm sure after 400 odd years of slavery you'd go along with just about anything if you think it will get you freed, right?


Well obviously it wasn't difficult.

Jesus has NEVER been portrayed as blonde hair with blue eyes. Where do you people pull this lie from?

Sure, perhaps he should have darker skin, but that is it.

Every portrayal of Jesus I have ever seen show him with brown hair and brown eyes. Even Southpark (who would jump at such an opportunity) portrays him as brown hair with brown eyes.

So, where do you people come up with that? Do you think spreading that lie really helps your cause?

Just because the democratic national convention makes something up does not mean its true!
