Religion & Spirituality - 9 February 2007

I am looking for a church that fits me best. I was raised in a Christian home, but most denominations that I know of are conservative, and I am very liberal.

Last week I had a first date with a woman.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ard_.LPKvkn6rh_5yyWutg7sy6IX?qid=20070202142518AAcjCGx

It went pretty well.

We have another date tomorrow.

Is the second date is too early to ask her to come back to my place to brew some banana flavored coffee with me?

and they told me they are just asking her to pray for them...

Leviticus 19:31
‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 20:6
‘And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
‘A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’”
Deuteronomy 18:11
or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

dont these verses say calling upon the dead is wrong?

is there a reason catholics dont pray for themselves, they need mary to do it for them?

I am not bashing atheists here, so please don't go there. When I have directed any questions to atheists that hint about the existence of God or the limitations of science, about 80% of the time I get a response something like, "If there's no scientific proof or evidence then there's no reason for me to believe..." It suggests that their agenda is to wipe out all forms of dogma, and by definition "dogma" is a belief held despite insufficient grounds (not much more than an opinion to empiricists). This insistence on believing only what solid observations can support seems paramount to both atheists and the most radical empiricists, so I'm wondering if it's the case that atheists are really radical empiricists.

Further clarification:

atheist: A person who does not believe God exists.

empiricist: A person who relies soley on external observation (as opposed to both introspection and observation) to determine reality.

So, all my life Ive been able to easily discern lies from truth. When someone lies to me, anyone, its really obvious and I hardly ever get fooled by them.

Also, I can discern peoples true intentions easily. Example: I was working for my familys (extended) company at a trade show for the week. They also had a guy working for them who was the pastors son. He was married, had two kids and the whole family really really liked him. Well, I never did. I always felt a little 'off' around him and expressed my concerns to my mom.
Turns out, two years later, he is in prison for child molestation.
Another example: a guy I work with seemed very nice, decent, kind, etc. Everyone really liked him and I had that same "off" feeling again. Turns out he got busted for tax evasion.
There are a ton more examples.

My mom is religious and believes I have the gift of discernment. What is this? Who else has this? Where did this originate from? Just some info on this gift? How to use it?

So i was raised Christian and i love god and jesus with all my heart. but when i moved to the US 10 years ago, all american Christians would say bad things about other religions like Catholics, Mormons and others. Why is it that they are tought that God loves all in services and then in Sunday school they are taught that Catholics and mormons go to hell? Why dont they respect others?

Many Christians in this forum have said that 'you shouldn't take the Bible literally' or that 'it was written simplistically because humans didn't have all the knowledge we have today'.

So,when a book's information appears debunked by later discoveries, isn't it the right thing to do to UPGRADE and UPDATE such book?

It has been done with the works of Einstein, Darwin, Bohr, etc.

Why not the Holy Bible?

I believe Christians should pay their respects to the Holly Book by making it more accurate, in such aspects as:

Earth is not flat

There were lots of Dinosaur species, not just the "Behemoth"

Some species feed on other species, and others are hermafrodites, so Noah's Ark's animal couples wouldn't work

Jesus must likely had lice, and since they ate and drank from his flesh and blood, they were probably the very first apostles.

Sort of thing.

We believers in God, see the world through the eyes of a person who knows, our existence is temporary, the money we trust, the people we trust, consequently the things we build our lives on, can all very well END one day because they are just that...perishable...not eternal.

And we want something bigger..something that doesnt die in our lives.

Something that would clear away the thought that we build our lives around `lies`.

Isnt life an illusion? Isnt it a `lie`? As lies last only so long.

If both you people would just do a little research you could find the truth. I know both of you are wrong. You have both been fooled. I would try to explain it to you but you wouldn't understand.

I've heard that the answer to "Militant Islam" is "Moderate Islam," but aren’t the only sources of authority in Islam the Koran and the Hadith? Historically, major changes to Christian philosophy and doctrine were achieved by Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Wesley. Where are the major texts and writers of this “Moderate” Islam? What were the changes and how do they condemn Muhammad’s martial legacy? Can Islam even be reformed, since Muhammad was the “last profit?” I'm not suggesting that Islam be destroyed, merely that all references to killing non-believers be removed, all exhortations to stone people be removed, all verses calling non-Muslims najjis be removed, all references to killing those who leave Islam be removed, all versus condoning the taxation and subjugation of Kafirs be removed, and all verses condoning woman beating/inferior female intellect be removed. After all, why should only the peaceful versus be taken at face value? Sound reasonable? (p.s. I'm an athiest)
