Religion & Spirituality - 12 January 2007

Me (atheist) and my Christian fiancé always are told that we shouldn't get married, because according to Christians we are 'unevenly yoked'.

My girlfriend and me both agree on the fact that neither of us is able to know the full truth about the 'god/no god' question. Which means our future children will be very open minded to all possibilities.

So, how can the Bible say that 'unevenly yoked' is a bad thing? Is it really bad to learn from other peoples experiences? Does the Bible have such little faith in its followers faiths, that those same followers should avoid non-believers like the plague?

(If you are gonna answer this with "your fiancé is not a true Christian", please remember that judging is not your job. And if you judge another Christian on his or her faith, that makes you by definition not a true Christian)

if you cater/construct your religion according to your desires, then isn't it nothing more than your own invention?

Just right now I asked God to give me a sign on a situation that is going on right now in my life, I got it!!!! I was so much in shock I couldn't believe it. What do you think about it? have you ever had a sign from God.

We need to stop it before it starts. Soon the next generation will be leading us in politics, sports, entertainment,etc. Why can't we teach them to have morals so when they make choices they can make them for the better?

I know that the Bible says that "he that believes and is baptised shall be saved", but different churches do it different ways. Which way is best? Didn't everyone get baptized the same in the Bible or did they just do it however they wanted? I don't want to be baptized incorrectly. Whtich is correct and why do you think so?

It is not that i have not looked because i have but men do not ask me out! I am not ugly,in fact i have been told i am very pretty,but i am overweight.Could that be why i don;t get asked out?I see other overweight people everyday and they have someone.I am sad and lonely and getting depressed just thinking about it.Is it possible that God wants me to be alone and i may never find someone to share my life with?? Please only serious answers..thanks

If you had a chid who was sexually molested, would you- A. Have the law deal with it, B. Leave it to God "vengeance is mine, saith the Lord' or C. take matters into your own hands? I am no stranger to God or violence in my life but i would opt for C. myself.

I'm not trying to disprove people that are saying things about Christians, and I actually agree with them about some. Instead, I just want feedback to what others think, and if I need to change my way or style any. I try to show love in every answer I write, just as John 15:12 states:
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Thanks for your time. I'll be praying for everyone here.

I'm an atheist. But when it comes to religion, I intend to teach my future children with an open mindset. I will read to them from the children's versions of Bible and Quran. Simply because I think some of the stories hold a good value for kids. I won't read them all of it, because some parts are too violent.

But I do wanna teach them about God, Allah and a few other religious subjects. Simply to give them the chance to choose whatever they want in life, with an open mind.

I was wondering if religious people do this too. Do Christians teach their children about Allah, or about the possibility that there might not be a God?

And fellow atheists? Do you teach your children about religions? Or you simply raise them without the knowledge of any higher power?

This question is directed at people who do not believe in god/s of any kind, but believers are also welcome to answer with their opnions.
Tell me, what is your view of Nature? Does Nature inspire you spiritually? How does it make you feel compared to how organized religion makes you feel? Do you think appreciation of Nature leads to a greater interest in science and learning? Do you think people who revere nature are more likely to open their mind to the discoveries of science (like evolutionary biology etc)?

You can answer some of these questions or all if you like, I am just curious because I hold Nature in very high regard... I am a spiritual agnostic and basically my spirituality is founded completely on Nature.

If you say it does, are you not saying God is not capable of making creatures that can improve over time to match the environment? Thats not true, he does have the power to do that. Although I do not believe the theory of evolution, I do believe its possible, and would not discredit God in anyway.
