Religion & Spirituality - 12 January 2007

Yahoo has a 'report abuse' button. I never use it, because I feel that it takes away my opportunity to educate somebody on where he/she is wrong/bad/hateful or whatever.

However, I was looking at the list of options yahoo gives us when we report people. I saw something like "Inciting Hatred".

Does an answer like "you will end up in hell" fall in that category?

Does anyone ever notice most people (on YA and in real life) who say that Muslim women are treated like crap aren't Muslim themselves? Why are people going to make that assumption when they don't know anything about it? In my experience, I found that Muslim women were completely spoiled and pampered by their husbands/boyfriends.

I know about the flood and the tower of babel. Didn't he also wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah? Are there other times when he just went off like that?

In the gnostic gospels Jesus was not about salvation, he taught about enlightenment.

Why did the church desire to keep the feeble minded ignorant? Don't misunderstand, there are many wonderful intelligent Christians. They put the bible in a correct perspective and do not take it literally. I bet they hold on to their money as well. Benny Hinn will not see any of their checks.

Okay, I believe in ghosts. I know CREEPY. But the night before my grandfather died, I woke to hear his voice whispering my name. I was the last to hear from him. I see someone coming after me everyday. I used to play tricks with my friends minds, and I'd pass out and see someone and talk to them. But now, I actually DO pass out and talk to someone. I am very scared, and I have a difficult, dark past. How can I get over it??

i think that even if christianity is some way was true, i think that many of the things that people see as rationally suspect are really god's way of testing christians sympathy for others.

for example, if god to be real, i would imagine that he only stated that homosexuality was sinful not because it really displeased him in any way, but only because he wanted to test the character of christians and see how they would treat people who obviously were not in "chosen" sin. are there any christians that think along these lines?

The scientist approaches God, and says, "Look, God, we don't need you anymore, OK? I mean, we can clone now, we have made astounding advancements in medicine, and we have the technology and scientific knowledge to produce what used to be miracles. We just don't need you. Sorry".

God listens patiently and says, "OK, fine, but I care about you and don't want you to make a mistake, so just to be sure, let's have a man-making contest, to see if you really need me".

The Scientist agrees. God says, "OK, we'll do this just the way I did it in the old days, with Adam and Eve". "No problem", says the scientist, and he reaches down to scoop up a handful of dirt.

"Whoa! Hold on there a minute", God says. "You get your own dirt".

I see people that do not question Adam and Eve AT ALL.

These beliefs, stories, etc are written by humans, not God. The fact is that these 'holy books' are people's beliefs. I mean in one religion it says Jesus is the ONLY way. Jesus claimed to be the SON of god, maybe what he met is we are all his sons and daughters. Jesus had his own beliefs and branched off from his jewish faith, which many people overtime did also.

What I think is that we should live rightful lifes, cling on the what time we have, enjoy everything, be a good person, and never deny God, just question who God is. I will never deny the existence of God, but I will always question it.

I just read a question about an abomination. Can we report people for stupidity.?

believe in god? And then if you don't, you get your *** fried off in hell? How stupid is that? Why would believing in him make any difference to what happens to you at all, when you should be judged by how well you lived your life?

on one hand th bible teaches an eye for an eye on the other it teaches to turn the other cheek

My belief is that if we took an eye for an eye then we'd all be blind so we should turn the other cheek.

Does this mean we should let people walk all over us?

If God does not exist, then we are merely the result of random fortuitous circumstances. There is no hope beyond this life. So why waste what precious moments you have left refuting something that doesn't exist?

Fantasies don't rise to the level of science being bent on disproving them.

If you belive that you were once ooze that is fine. You are a free willed agent able to make your own decisions. Why do some feel the need to disprove my "fantasy"? In the end someone will be right and someone will be wrong. I am totally OK with that.

If I'm wrong that's my life and my choice, or so I thought. If the science-onlies are right than good for them. I'm in a no lose situation AND with my "fantasy" I have something to hope for beyond being nothing forever.

===> PLUS, science proves that those who attend religious services regularly on average live 20% longer than those who do not. Gotta love science. <===
