Religion & Spirituality - 31 January 2007

Why is it that so many people claim to be spiritual and believe in God or a "higher power", yet when you ask them about Jesus they freeze up? Don't people know that they have to accept Jesus into their hearts in order to reach God our heavenly Father? Do they understand that Christianity is NOT a religion, it's a relationship?

I want to know why it's called soup?

The theory is that "it rained on the rocks for millions of years and turned them into soup"!

When I mix rock dust and rain I get mud.

Shouldn't it say "It rained on the rocks for millions of years and turned them into mud pies"?

It makes more sense, doesn't it? It's a heck of alot more accurate.

Plus, it would be easier to remember for exams. You have M.U.D.= Man Under Development.

but he said to keep wine and bread as emblems of his flesh and bone in rememberance of him. so what is NEW wine? is new wine fermented in heaven, or was it and will it be more like Grape juice? The LDS church takes this question to a next level and dont even USE wine but rather use WATER and the priests pray with authority to change the water to "BLOOD". as one of the emblems of christs atonement. What do think is this also Kosher? or not.
is thate 4 questions or five?

After many answers here, this is my first question. Christians, please at least attempt to rationally explain your answer. Here is the question:

Why is atheism worse than being a theistic non-Christian?

Polls show that Americans (Who are 85% Christian) think less of atheists than Muslims. The concept of not believing in any god is reviled by Christians, but belief in something that doesn't exist appears to be better!

What they seem to be saying is that Christians respect believing in a false god (Allah, Krishna, Hinduism, etc) as superior to NOT believing in a false belief (atheism). The remarks in this forum certainly seem to support this view.

How do you justify this position? Why would you prefer to have me believe in Allah instead of not believe in Allah? Since either way, I don't beleive in yours.

For Example: I don't like cults. So I don't go to their churches. I don't beleive like them so I don't go there. I don't like baseball, so I don't go to a baseball game. My point is that there isn't a sin in baseball, but I just don't like it. But I"m not going to a basebalI game and trying to get people to stop playing or watching baseball. I've asked atheists why they ask Christians questions and they complain about them. If you don't like Christians, then don't go into a Christian Forum or religious Yahoo Question and Answers category. Then when you decide that you want to get saved then read the bible or then you can ask questions.

You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?

There are so many religions out there, why do you think your's is the true one? Jesus was Jewish after all. This goes for all other religions as well. Religion was only started to bring people together under a community and try to explain the world, which science can do now. Why would "God" make little beings in his own image just so he could have them worship him? Sounds pretty sick if you ask me. Also, why would God, when he made the world, put out evidence of evolution if that isn't really what happened?

It's so sad to see all theese people blindly put their faith in something as fictional as religion. There is no evidence of God on this earth, so why would a great "God" hold us accountable to accept something based on pure assumptions. All of what you practice and follow was made up by some people way back when. Who are they to decide what God wants?
