Religion & Spirituality - 21 February 2007

This friend spends a lot of his money for all the expenses for a bus three times a week traveling several miles each week taking kids and adults to church.
Recently a new family was invited to ride and they literally destroyed several seats by cutting and graffiti and was a total embarrassment in church services.
My friend asked the offenders to pay for damages (which they laughed in his face) and advised them he would not pick them up anymore.
Is there a better solution to this?

At what point is a person's beliefs to be disrespected? I am a Christian. I have a very dear friend who is an atheist. She is constantly cursing church people and I just find that a complete disrespect for my beliefs and being I am one of those church people a disrespect to me. I just don't understand where people think it is okay to treat others with such disrespect for their beliefs. I know as a Christian that my beliefs are not something that I have made up to fit my lifestyle, God has revealed himself to me many of times since I have accepted him into my life. My beliefs are not anything that are going to change. I have built my life on my beliefs and I stand on them everyday. Do people not see that it is just a simple lack of decency to be so hostel to the beliefs of other human beings?

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/gal/4/27#27 desolate women will have more children than the ones with husbands.

ok this is how i see it, if a woman doesnt have a husband, but yet is promised more children than those that dont have a husband, how does she have children without being married? This is fornication and the bed is defiled...

I keep hearing: "Bible bashers are as bad a Bible thumpers." And "If that's what people want to believe who are we to stop them?" or "We must respect everyone’s religious beliefs".

So I ask you, when was the last time an Atheist blew up an abortion clinic? When was the last time an Atheist hijacked an airplane? When was the last time an Atheist suicide bomber blew himself up in a marketplace?

You may say that these people are religious extremists. Yet they extreme only in that they are following the letter of the law as God has commanded it. Both the Bible and Koran agree than all infidels must be killed. The Bible states that if one person in a city preaches against God, all it's inhabitants must be destroyed: every man, woman, child, and beast. The Koran is no different. They differ only in their definition of the word "infidel".

So before a dirty bomb goes off in New York (knock on wood) ask yourself this, "What good can come from religious tolerance?"

Or even refer that he is omnipotent. I read there have been a few things he could not overpower, such as he can not lie, or chariots of iron, and he can not sin to list a few, but I have not read that he is omnipotent.

I'm a bit confused. I grew up believing that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Christ. It seems obvious, especially after the events of John 6. Jesus didn't try to correct anyone's misconceptions, but only hammered his point home all the harder, even striking at His own disciples. Hardly a group deserving of His scorn! Yet non-Catholics for the most part reject this idea as a possibility. How can ANYTHING be impossible for an omnipotent God? Nevertheless, protestants are adamant that it is merely symbolic. Why?

Atheists, please bow out on this one, unless you can be nice. This is the kind of question that SHOULD be asked in this forum. Tolerance is appreciated. Smart alecs will be reported.

Why don't religious folk think for themselves and why let someone else tell you the 'truth'?
