Religion & Spirituality - 8 February 2007

I am not trying to hide the fact that I am a Christian hence "childofgod". Furthermore my “profile” states very clearly “I am a Christian, Wife and Mother”. Yet when I ask specific questions of the bible to better understand the truth so I can spread it to other Christians I get called and Atheist? I want to KNOW the TRUTH so I can TEACH the TRUTH accurately.

During a regular week, how much of your social and community life is spent primarily with people whose beliefs are similar to your own?

How much with people who believe differently?

Do you wish this were different or are you satisfied with the balance?

Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

first of all, i am asking in respest. i am not making fun or being a jerk to you folks but i want to understand, why?

i don't understand this at all. what is all the talk about the rapture. is your life that bad on earth? how about your family on earth you love? or is the rapture going to take them with you? reminds me of a dead zone episode.

why do you have to leave earth to feel better about yourself or get closer to god. isn't god on your lips, mind and in your heart? isn't that good enough?

if i said i was a prophet would you believe me? why do you believe every single thing some one tells you?

for centuries my ancestors and biblical stories tells of in-family marriages. is it wrong because of society making it seem wrong? I guess society sets the rules, and what seems to be moral.. but what if two siblings are in love? they can always use protection.. so dont' worry about defects, but other than that they are just two opposite sexes in love.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

for most of christian history, the entireity of the followers of the christian faith felt that things we now think of as ugly blemishes upon human history as morally sanctioned by god.

until about 120 years ago most christians felt that the bible dictated man's dominance and women's submissiveness.
when slavery was in effect, many americans thought that it was morally santioned by the bible. why not be more specific?
instead of inspiriring the writers of the bible to write a huge portion of the Old Testament with books detailing the history of Israel, why not write whole books of practical, clear, concise, uncontentious, moral instructions?

for example, why not write things like:
man and women are equal. man is no more the master of a woman than she is the master of him.
do not make other people your slaves
???

I am 20 years old. I have been shaky in my beliefs about God for a while, but recently I discovered that he does not exist. After learning the history of Catholocism and how it spread, after learning of evolution, and then learning how people long ago were disconnected all came up with their own God. I know that men created God, not that God created man. Then I learn about the hypcropsy of the Church, those molesters who preach and have us confess our sins to them.

I do not mean to bash religion, its just that I have more faith that Elvis is alive and amoung us that I do that God is real. Sometimes I feel like life is better. If nobody had religion maybe we could stop these foolish wars, and help eachother and live for today.

Has anyone been as convinced that there is no God as I am, then gotten faith again. As good as I feel, I also in a way wish I believed. Occasionally I pray if only to talk to myself, but prayer with no faith is just a waste of time.

American Atheists seem to be more in your face and promoting it, I believe that is the American way with anything any American tries to promote.
European Atheists don't seem to be so incrediably rude about it.

As in one of the commandments, "thou shall not take the lord's name in vain" Why would god care what we call him, as if the opinions and words of one tiny species would tick him off so much.
