Religion & Spirituality - 31 January 2007

I was just wondering when we get to heaven, what would be a question you would ask our Lord Jesus, if you only asked him one question?

No, I'm not talking about when Jesus was born. I'm talking about the millions of peoples that Christians had killed less than a century after. How do you justify those Christians' behavior? Do you smile when you hear about how they forced the Mayans and the Aztecs to convert or die? Do you applaud when you hear the tragic story of how the Native Americans got killed and kicked out of their own land just because some "Christians" did it in the "name of God?"


Not to offend anyone, but witchhunts, holocausts, and crusades sound demonic at best.


As for the Muslims' holy wars...well they aren't much worse than what the Christians had done.

I'm so tired of Christians blathering on about how our nation's founders were all bible-believing Christians.

Here's Benjamin Franklin:

"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies."

Here's Thomas Paine:

"My own mind is my own church."


"I believe that religion consists not in believing or disbelieving, but in doing justice, loving mercy and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy."

And here's Thomas Jefferson:

"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites."

Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Can someone send me anything that deals with christian divorce in a positive manor. I have a friend who is suffering extreme depression as they are a christian who is getting divorced from someone who treated them very badly, and now feels their own life is over. They would like to have children etc but as a believer would like to do so within a marriage but believe now they are divorced they can never re-marry and therefore their own life is now over.

Please star this is you find it interesting:

1. Religeon has caused much evil to be spread, many heinous acts have been commited in the name of the church, and by proxy god. ( ex : crusades, forced poverty, the dark ages, )

2. Religeon has cause much good to be spread, from curtailing barbaric practices of genital mutalation to spreading news of the world / new cultures due to missionary work.

3. Faith has caused much evil, for without a wise tradition to follow faith can lead to cultism and cruely in the name of faith, ( ex Jonestown, helter skelter, )

4. Faith has caused much good From careing about others in countries that share your faith, to doing good works, without payment.


So the query : - Which has brought more good? Faith or Religeon, which has brought more evil Religeon or Faith?

*note my spelling is bad please don't bother telling me this*

So that no words are said
And you become "Quiet"?

Shown will you be the power of every word if you can simply be "SILENT"!

Logically, I don't think God would be possible.

How can he be all-loving and all powerful at the same time, yet allow the death of so many innocent people?

If he's both, then why did he allow the Holocaust to happen? If he loves all of his "children" and is all powerful surely he would not allow for them to kill by a bunch of barbaric Nazis....he would stop them with his "magic power" because as most of my family members tell me, "all is possible with God."


The Holocaust only proves that either God is neither all-powerful and all-loving OR that he can not exist.

There is evidence from practically every scientific field of study (biology, genetics, radiology, geology, paleontology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.) that evolution exists. And not just a study or two, but a MOUNTAIN of evidence from the last century and a half. Yet so many Americans still won't accept the truth because their fundamentalist minister (who never received a scientific degree and the most science he ever got was in some divinity school lecture taught by another nonscientist) says that it is false.

They go out of their way to find a crackpot who will agree with them (and who usually does it to sell books) and publish a study that totally disregards the scientific method, uses anecdotes as fact, and quotes other like-minded crackpots looking to sell something. Yet when it comes to information in truly scholarly scientific journals that's been reviewed by peers in other scientific fields, these people won't believe it. Why are these people so closed-minded to science?

A man lived to be 125.
A young reporter went to interview him.
He asked the old man, "Sir, how is it you lived to be 125?"
And the old man said, "Well, I just never did argue with nobody."
And the young reporter said, "Ah come on! It had to be more than that! Either you
ate good, or you never smoked or never drank! It had to be something else?"
And the old man just looked at him and said, "You're probably right."
