Religion & Spirituality - 16 February 2007

Being born into a christian family, or being trained in christian doctrine doesn't make one a christian - a conversion is required.

So I was wondering, does an atheist have, pardon the word, a conversion to atheism and has an active faith that there is no deity, or are you an atheist by default by simply not accepting the existance of a deity?

Or is there another option?

If you have come to the conclusion that the BIble and Talmud are myths, why continue to label yourself with a title based on myths you don't even believe.

After reading the psychic researcher Susy Smith's "Power of the Mind" about twenty four years ago, I am a believer of the supernatural powers including ghosts.I never had any encounter with any so far but have come across people who believe they have had such experiences.What about you?

There is someone that I know that looks like a thug, him and his family got attacked 4 times, and he was involved in a murder case.
Though, the police, everyone I know found him innocent. Although he does not do his job properly and is annoying, he doesn't seem to pose a threat.
It is like a theme is following him about.

I noticed this with my uncle. He works in a freezer store, near died in a car accident over freezing water and was left work in the cold in his former job.

Some people have about 20 unrelated medical problems

I have had nothing but embarrasing, humiating things happen to me in the last 25 years. Usually degrading, belittling and definatly undignifying. Also everywhere I go, people drop dead.

The theme of my life may be changing. I have a theme of heavy metal music and motorcycles coming. This became very evidence in Edmonton, Canada.

I worked out that these theme become us and our life style as time passes.

What are these themes about?

the only question i have ever heard, is where God comes from that has no distinct answer. Although the mormons teach that there is a place called KOLOB where God is near unto....
YET that answer doesnt satisfy the question where did God Begin and How He became a alived.

I have been investigating the Mormon church on and off for the past few months, anyways, I had told one of my Christian friends that I liked the Church and he told me that Mormons do not accept Jesus as a God and as such they are not going to Heaven.

I think they would because they accept Jesus as their Savior, but he told me you have to believe he is also God.. What do you think?

How many Satanists believe that Satan attacks people and hurts them?

I come across many Christians who claim to know Satan personally and says he is malevolent, but then Jehovah hurts more people according to the bible and seems to be way more malevolent than Satan? So according to Satanism, who or what is Satan and what is his nature?

... that christian's required their saviour to be born of a Virgin? A woman that was both de-sexed and de-humanised by a patriarchial and condescending hierarchy is not a good role-model!

Those people should not comment on what they do not know anything about. Christians how can being awake and experinces satanic activites be a nightmare? Nightmares are when you are asleep. Some people have no idea. They have not experieced satans and his demons attacks at night, in their room. If they did they would stop critisising.You cannot critisied what you know nothing about. Christians a lot of people realy annoy me when they comment just for something to say. If it had happend to them then they would believe, and if they believe that means they have to believe in God, because to believe in Satan there has to be a God. Christians I think we should keep out experieces to outselves, because it not any atheists business and never will be. I can tell fellow christians of my attacks from Satan and they understand because they know he is real and does this kind of thing. So from now of Christians any visions from the Lord or any harrasment from the devil we should keep quiet to

I dreamed of a red wall
On the wall was a spit mark (phlem or siliva mark)
It was waxing and waning in size, and pulsating at it done so.
As its area got bigger and smaller like an ameba, there was a wierd song a bit like that of Iron Madden's album *7 deadly sins*, the song *7th son of the 7th son*

Later as the spits area pulsated in size, I heard a loud heart beat.
I was sucked closer and closer to the spit and the heart beat grow louder, faster and faster; and then nothing. It went black.

Just about a second before I woke up, I saw a fetus right before me in the womb with red evil looking eyes.

What does this mean?

If you are a christian and you have a freind who is muslim and you are interested to learn about her religion. I wanted to learn about her religion so I took some books home to read about the Islam culture. My husband threw them away and said that it is against god. I had no plans of converting however I think to learn is never wrong. I do not think god would be mad for me wanting to learn about other peoples belief as long as I stay true to mine. I know great christian scholars learn about other religions in there study...AM I WRONG????

And it was the most beautiful thing, I have ever seen. How can anyone deny are awsome creator, when he has given us so many beautiful things on this earth. I refuse to believe that the sunrise and sunset was "an accident". I refuse to believe that the way the sun reflects off the oceans in Hawaii is "an accident". I refuse to believe that roses, and tulips, happiness and love are "an accident". I love all of you very much, and I just want eveyone to feel the love and grace of are father. Me and my significant other got in a really big fight last night (and I did not hit her), and watching the sunrise with her this morning, was a miracle in inself. I just felt so many diffrent emotions, I can't put it into words. Please, just tell me what you think of the beautiful things on this earth, are they all just accidents? Please accept the free gift of love that are lord and savior Jesus Christ wants to give you.
