Religion & Spirituality - 3 January 2007

Ok...you've got the word racism meaning hatred toward other races...So is there a word for religious people that think the same way about religion? I know people are going to say that religious people don't "hate" others...but come on now...I haven't met one person that doesn't have a problem with someone elses beliefs. I just want to know what that word is.

Ezekiel 1:16 (NIV)
This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
Ezekiel 1:5 (NIV)
and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man
Ezekiel 1:4 (NIV)
I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal

Can't you just put your hand on anything and swear on God directly?

Please read the entire question.

A while ago I suggested that Christians need to campaign to have a law added that would make remarriage after divorce illegal. The only exception would be if the divorce was because of "fornication". This is supported by Matt 19:4-6 and 1Corinthians 7:10-11.

Now to allow this kind of remarriage to continue is giving special rights to a divorced person.

You should have seen how many were not too happy with the thought of a law like this one.

I say, if we allow divorced people to remarry, pretty soon they will be wanting to marry 4 wives, or 4 husbands, Polygamy is next. Or bestiality. They may want to marry a talking donkey.

Those are the exact same arguments that I see against gay marriage. They will campaign against gay marriage and claim that gays want "special" rights. They claim that allowing gay marriage will then lead to polygamy and bestiality. One genius even compared gay marriage to child abuse.

Is all sin equal?

illusion of life & death Is like this that suppose u r asked to count the total leaves of a plant & u count it meticulusly. After one day u r again given the same task & u found that either it has lessened or it became more in number.So this is "Maya" or illusion of death & life.
Is this explanation allright?

My pet fish, Icy, is very sick, and doesn't seem to be getting any better. Is it wrong to let her suffer? Should I euthanize her? Or would that be wrong?

Like if God made him/herself into a mouse or dove, and you had God in your hand, and you somehow knew you could destroy God forever?

If you don't believe in God, just pretend you do for this. I'm just curious how people will answer this. :-)

Is there a branch of Buddhism that is better suited for Atheists or Agnostics?

I asked a question before regarding reincarnation and many replys stated that there is no branch of Buddhism that does not believe in reincarnation. Is there a branch that does not emphasize it as much as the others?

Dinosaurs could have fit in the ark if they were younger and smaller. But they might not have survived in a post-Flood world with different environmental conditions.
The process of the extinction of some animals still continues.

i feel very disappointed as well as sad when some people describe that Theravada Buddhism(the way of elders) is also can be called hinayana(lesser vehicles). i don't know who first did make this statement. and, when i see the questions: which country has the most real Theravada Buddhist? , i read the answers carefully and deeply. None of the answers can satisfy me. people from thailand says thai really have. the same goes for sri lankan, laos and such.

yup, followers of Theravada Buddhism have some weakness. For instance, many buddhist in myanmar pray not only to Buddha statue, the pay respects to some statues which are orginally derived from hinduism. Theravada Buddhism generally means taking refugees in Buddha,original Dhamma taught by Buddha, and sanga who maintain and protect original Damma. Theravada Buddhists don't have to pray others apart from these three.
