Religion & Spirituality - 12 February 2007

I am a now an atheist who was raised Baptist and who converted to Catholicism when I married my very Catholic husband. I don't go to church any more, except for funerals or weddings and maybe Christmas and Easter. But for years when I was going to Church, I often wondered if I was the only one there who didn't really believe. Do you think that statistics on the number of Atheists are skewed by some percentage because of people like me?

Try searching for keywords in www.youvan.org . You won't find the site as of the date of this question.

The last time I had this problem, posting a single question here in Yahoo Answers got a site listed. (Google is well aware that there could be a backlash against their information monopoly and control.)

Can God make you miserable to get you saved? I am pretty depressed, and I have never been so in my life, Im not very social anymore, and I use to be the life or a party. Things just don't seem to be good like they used to be. Even though Im not a big sinner and I give money to church, my life seems to be much worse than far worse sinners who hate God.

So do they believe Jesus is a more important figure or that God is more important? Do they consider God divine? How about Jesus, is he considered divine also?

I am beginning to think the bumper sticker was right,

"Ignorance + Arrogance = Disaster"

But I don't know what the answer is, nor do I know what to do anything with the 5% of Muslims, who want the rest of the world to convert, die or become enslaved. The west has forgotten from where their ideas of freedom arose; the Judeo-Christian scriptures. There is a reason why most technology began in the west. I am saddened to see how Iranians lust after atomic weapons---60 year old technology. The Koran is shown to be false by its fruit.

I reakon Jesus will come and fetch his church within 10-15 years, what do you think? We are living now in the signs that Jesus spoke of before his return. Expecially when a peace covernant is trying now to be established withing the middle east expecially Israel. The EU are trying hard to find a peace so they can get a 7 year covernant ready. The main goal for the EU, US and the UN now is to try and come up with ways to renew the old covernant that failed in 1993 . And they are all pushing for it like never before and will not rest until they find it. Soon Christians we will be going home. Have you read a book called Heaven is so real by Choo Thomas? It is an end time book. Revelations is the main one. Jesus told her in 1996 that he is coming sooner than most people think. Jesus told her in exact words "Unless my disobiedent children wake up, they will miss the trumpet, and will have to go through the tribulation and many of them will become Satans" This should be a warning

Jihad, crusades, and extremists have slaughtered needlessly. Why do people put beliefs over the value of human life? God, Religion, or whatever has had the universal message to love thy brother. So why is it that throughout history we persistantly seem to look down on people with different beliefs, and why do people choose to fight and murder rather than compromise and love one another? If 2 completely different people can claim themselves as muslims, then how come they choose a particular flavor and want to destroy everything else? Why can't these people see that this is how the world will eventually end?

I do see the purpose of religion as far as moral codes, hope, etc. But what I am seeing more and more now is the devisive nature of religion--and it seems to be breeding more hate, than hope. I wonder how many millions of people have died in the name of God--and is that what people really think he would want? I consider myself a spiritual person--and my belief system is more Christian than any other, but I can see truth and beauty in many religions and cultures. I think diversity is beautiful, why does it make others so angry?
