Religion & Spirituality - 24 January 2007

Why would God create a hell to punish us in? Why would so much destruction be part of his plan? Why would God create something just to condemn it to hell? He says "It (Meaning God) doesn't give a crap about anything then itself" He says that us Christians are God's Pawns to create a army of ignorance. Answer all these questions. I want to know others opinions on this.

I believe in and follow the Wiccan Rede, and the Rule of Three, I worship and believe the God and the Goddess, I celebrate all the Sabbats, I perform rituals, etc. However, I don't belong to a Coven or to a Traditional group!

Am I Wiccan or what?

Parts of the bible arent true (this is a fact because in several parts it contradicts itself and 2 opposite statements cant both be true) ok?

Well if some of it isn't true then could not most of it or even all it be untrue?

I thought it was some kind of fancy imported cheese.

What am I thinking of?

So you're saying that Jehovah's witnesses are not people who testify about having seen cheese?

Boy, now I feel bad about what I said to those well-dressed young folks that came to my front door last week. And I really feel bad about having used the taser on them.

Well, live and learn I always say!

Stephen Hawking once said that our “instincts are getting in the way of our intelligence”. Our intelligence comes from our evolution from all other life. Humans are the only species on the planet with the power of thought. Other species are intelligence but we have logic and reason and a capacity to learn. Which in turn gave us the advantage we needed to evolve and survive.

Our more basic instincts, however, is our aggressive nature, territoriality and our willingness to blindly follow leaders. Which is also related to our evolution from every other species. Most people just move along with whatever their leaders tell them, and listen to their more basic emotions. When will we be able to embrace what it really means to be human and alive? To be conscious and aware of our surroundings, not by religion but by science.

If you disagree then what causes people to believe or not believe? It's not ignorance, so please don't use that as an excuse for Christians or Atheists.

""It makes more sense to believe in God than to not believe. If you believe, and God exists, you will be rewarded in the afterlife. If you do not believe, and He exists, you will be punished for your disbelief. If He does not exist, you have lost nothing either way. "

....He fails to notice one OBVIOUS point! That if you live your life as God exists but he doesn't, then you HAVE lost something. You have wasted countless hours in church, you have wasted time praying, you have wasted money on churches so that the preachers can buy jet airplanes (Benny Hinn), and most importantly you have lived your ENTIRE life based on a false belief structure! He completely fails to put forth these concepts as well as how belief in God holds back the progress of humanity! For example: what if a person devotes their life to reading the bible and worshiping God, but could have found a cure for cancer had they applied their intellect to science?
Pascal's wager, to me, is therefore VERY flawed.

There is a story on MSNBC about a 4 year old female Komodo Dragon that just gave birth even though she was born and raised in captivity and has had absolutely no contact with any male Komodo Dragon in her life. Sounds like immaculate conception to me. Could this be the coming of Raptor Jesus?

My last question about the Sabbath being kept on Saturday (which is actually Friday at dark till Saturday night at dark) MOST people said it really didnt matter what day you choose.

It matter what is in the heart. I agree the heart is #1. But Jesus and Paul said, the fruit of the Spirit (a right heart) will follow the Law. Not by effort but by love and spirit.

So, why do we worship on SUNDAY? Did God err when writing the 10 commandments? Are we excempt from the one about murder too?

The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH changed the Sabbath. I dont say this to condemn or be self righteous. I simple want Christians to know the facts. Here is a document proving this, authourized by Pope Pius XI. http://www.remnantofgod.org/PiusAdmission.jpg

Please, follow His ways! Like He wants! He WAS NOT tired on day 7! He is saying look how important my work is...and I observe the Sabbath!

Was it a Mistake?

7th day Adventist
Messianic Jews..only ones who observe the Sabbath. The road is narrow
