Religion & Spirituality - 22 January 2007

We all know that Christians say that the bad things that happen are due to man's sin. Is sin causing this to happen, and if so...how?

The moon is moving away from the earth. http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=124

Earth's axis would wobble without the moon. This means we wouldn't have steady climates. For example, Jamaica could become as cold as Alaska for a couple of years then return to the tropics. This would cause the majority of plant life to die, and would significantly decrease animal life.

When a person dies, the body looses a couple of ounces.

If there is no soul, how do you explain that?

This has been documented.

If you're an atheist, try to explain.

You CAN'T.

Rom1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
Hos6:6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Ps32:5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, " I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
Rom14:22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
Romans 10:8 they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. But the righteousness based

If one of your loved ones was involved in a serious car accident, would you want the ambulance to rush them to a hospital or to a church?

Jesus is coming soon!

All the signs are here....we are out of time and God is allowing a few more moments for people to repent.

Very soon the world will be unrecognizable.

I dont want your blood on my hands.

Be warned...pray up, repent and ask to be counted worthy to escape judgement.

Dont trust man's system or even most churches these days, go to God yourself! Repent!

God becomes real in your life when you mentaly accept God as representing the facts as they really are, being true, acceptance, assent, belief, credence. You become God as mutch as you accept from God... the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit... I AM the FATHER, I AM, the SON, I AM the HOLY SPIRIT... I AM THAT I AM... I was in the Past, I am in the Present, and I will always be infintly eternal...

Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ and St. John the Baptist as a parody of Pastafarianism, the religion of the only true God about 2000 years ago.
Look at the Christian symbol and bible. They are parodies of the Pastafarian symbol and Gospel of Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If God is all powerful and all wisdom would'n't he have predicted that appearing with different messages, to different people at different times would be setting up the conditions for religious wars and hatreds? Isn't God at least guitly of being criminally negligent at least if not the instigator of crimes and atrocities and war?

As for me, her embrace of abortion is enough for me to find another candidate.

Also, what does your Church teach about abortion?

The Catholic Church teaches abortion is wrong always and everywhere. No exceptions.

You cannot be Catholic and pro-abortion.

If he created the entire universe why did he make killer asteroids? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/06/0619_030619_killerasteroids.html

Or do you think these asteroids are the result of alien sin, much like all the bad on Earth is the result of man's sin?

As an agnostic I have a lot of questions but never seem to get any answers. I either get defensive answer or hear about their belief without answering the question. I even get attacked as some sort of devil worshipper on here. I can assure you I am every bit as moral as any christian. There are just a lot of holes in the bible I think.

I just scroll on down and see people who say mean things about people who don't share their religious view.

Why do we do that?

Why do some not all Atheists think that Theists are all annoying or mean,

And why do some not all Theists say that Atheists are all annoying and insignificant.


Why would a theist say that an atheist is insignificant?

What would cause a human being to suggest another human being is insignificant?

What would Jesus do? Would Jesus say the atheist is insignificant. Why do Jesus followers have such a hard time following their lord and master?

Am I demonizing the Christians (some not all, maybe that one in specific) for saying hypocrite?

Am I myself a hypocrite? If so, such is my lot in life.

I don't mean to be rude, but I keep reading these answers about how homosexuality is a sin in the bible and thus is not okay. And how premarital sex is a sin in the bible. I'm just wondering how it is that you can devote yourself to a set of "rules" so strictly. Why not say "Homosexuality is not right, to me personally, because it seems unnatural", or whatever. Why does everyone just say, "Oh, well, it's in the Bible that its a sin, so its a sin". I don't mean to be rude, so please, don't take it that way. For Christians, maybe there are some of you who question living by the standards, at one time or another. Afterall, it is a human written book. Just because it has been around for so long doesn't mean it's true or right; though, I'm not saying it isn't.

It's time to wake up from your fantasy world and face reality. He's not coming back, and everyone who's sane knows it. The prophecies in the Bible are NOT being fulfilled. People have been through much worse in the past. What do you think people were saying in the 1940's? Overall, why do so many people think that Jesus' return is near?; its NOT.

I propose a summit to iron out all differences and bring about peace, it could be the blue print for peace throughout Earth.

Of course, everyone will tell me why this won't work.

Could anyone give me a reason why it would?

don't just tell me to read the bible. Be specific about your message. I'm honest, I'll tell if what you said has made it for me - either to accept your God or whether I heard some truths from your sermon. It can be short or lons as you want it, I will read it.
