Religion & Spirituality - 13 February 2007

It took them hundreds of years, after telescopes, just to admit that the bible wasn't literally correct about a heliocentric solar system.

P.S. let's get this out of the way now....

Evolution isn't a theory. Evolution occuring is documented, proven, fact. Only the mechanisms of evolution are theories.

Creationism isn't a theory. Creationism is a disproved belief....just like an earthcentric solar system.

It is long past time for you to accept that the translation of the Bible you read isn't literally true on the topic of creation. The same thing happened in astronomy. Christianity will survive accepting evolution, just like it did a shperical Earth.

I can't see it... No one is alive, they have not been born... Are these people just imposing their fairy tale belief in God on others?

I heard this morning that an ex-friend of mine died recently. I felt a sudden surge of joy. I was so thrilled to hear that she was gone because she spent six years tormenting me, stalking me, and attempting to ruin my career. Spiritually I'm telling myself that being so joyful over something so tragic is wrong. But to be honest, I'm really not upset. I'm *happy* she's dead. As in - I want to throw a party and drink champaigne happy. I've NEVER felt this way when a person died before. I have more sympathy for strangers who've passed. Does this make me a bad person? Is it likely I could bring bad karma on myself because of these feelings?

I was talking about my religion (Christianity) with a couple of my friends the other day, and they believed in everything I did. A few days later, I found out they were Mormons. This confused me. I thought they were totally separate religions. Other than a few technical issues, like not being allowed to date until you are 16, what are the differences?

Be you an Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist or anything...is being fundamental in your beliefs a good thing?

Fundamentalist Atheists for example go out of their way to persuade other people there isn't a good - that surely isn't a good thing if it upsets people or takes away hope from desperate people? Believe what you want to believe right?

It is argued that fundamental religious views led to believing unquestionably and literally every single word in their holy texts and that they are told. (E.g Christians believing the world is 5000 years old.)

Is this sort of unwavering faith a good thing? Everyone refers to suicide bombers as fundamentalist muslims afterall...

This isn't meant to spark a religious debate, I'm merely asking - is any type of fundamentalist belief, totally uncomprimising and unwilling to listen to other people's point of view, a good thing?

Although I do believe in god about 70%, is he real? And how would we ever know without it being the end? I mean, the book was written and everyone immediately follows it, almost cult-like when you think about it. But we are simply expected to follow it and are considered "wrong" to differ our opinions from those who believe. I am 13, and currently am quite curious as to biblical deals.

If the only way to remain a Christian is to accept the Bible as word-for-word true,aren't you concerned that when your children are shown errors in the Bible, they will become atheists rather than deal with the cognitive dissonance such belief will engender?

Wouldn't they have an easier time continuing to accept Christianity if they were able to see the Bible as inspired, but not error free?

they already have churches for that?!
If we took the scientific theories for how the world was created and how humankind came about, where would our children learn about it, if not in school? And I'm talking about SCIENTIFIC theories......not your supposed "theories" about God, which aren't theories to begin with because they haven't enough evidence to make it a theory!
If they didn't have school to tell them about the scientific theories, they wouldn't learn it because they wouldn't even hear about them.

Shouldn't we bring our children up to make their own decisions, and not indoctrinate them from birth? They should be educated about every single theory known to man, and they should be allowed to make their own decisions based on what they've learned. Taking that away from them, will just turn them into ignorant drones.

When I ask a right wing conservative Christian about their wrong doings; I ask them "what would Jesus have done" and they get angry and try to explain how kidnapping, torturing, and killing innoncent people in Iraq is o.k. Why can't a person ask themselves "what would Jesus do"?

It seems there are many people that put certain authors, gospels, books, or stories before others.

How can someone reject part of a scripture like the Creation and accept the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

Anyone watched the movie or know what it's about?
Something about the power of positive thinking or something..Like if you keep thinking bad things, the cosmos or the universe is going to attract those bad things....
Pretty far stretched but anyone know about it? Couldn't it just be a psychological phenomenon rather than a metaphysical thing..?

I have never questioned the symbol before. But recently I was told it was. But regardless of the truth on the symbol I find it to be of good quality whether it be pocket knives, watches, traveling suit cases, etc.

#2. Does it equal weakness or suffering?
No! Jesus calmed storms, walked on water, and defeated death to be our mighty King! (No weakness there...)
Christians are strong! They cast out demons and they commune with Angels.
Also look at the Saints. They float, heal the sick and are friends of the animals!
*Weakness and suffering is never knowing the truth about life, no spiritual gifts, and eternal damnation in hell.

#3. Do you have the proper prospective?
#4. Are you in company of Angels?
#5. Do you know the truth about Christianity?

**It is Cool to be Christian!**
