I always see posts where someone will remark about religious people being unthinking. Why? Is this a stereo-type people have bought into without thinking about it? Many of the worlds greatest thinkers in Philosophy and Science have been deeply religious, how does that tie in? If someone disagrees with a major current scientific theory, does that mean they didn't think about it? Did everyone who does believe in a current theory think through all of the challenges to and implications of the theory? If not, are they just unquestioning herd followers themselves? I wonder what makes a person so self-sure cocky about their own beliefs that they ridicule others. Isn't this non-thinking, follow-the-crowd mentality? If there is a consensus among scientists about a certain subject, at a certain time, that make it unquestionable to the point that disbelief is a personal shortcoming or heresy? Are the strongest adherents to current scientific thought just zealots too? Seriously?

It's the power to heal people. It's part of a religion/practice, i think Christian based wicca, or whatever. It's pronounced (ray-kee) or something. So can someone tell me the spelling and what it is?

The Bible talks a lot about wives respecting their husbands (i'm specifically studying 1 Peter 3). What are some practical ways women can make you feel respected?

Likewise, why are Easter, Christmas, the Lenten season, rogation days, and others, derived from pagan holidays. Didn't Christianity have any legitimate calendar of commemorations of its own?

I just really cannot accept the notion that a human being who made the sacrifices he did would be damned. If a person has great love, compassion and serves fellow human beings so as to decrease suffering, then why would they suffer such a fate? I mean, what the hell? Literally.

Rene Descartes is having lunch at a small cafe.
Noticing that he has finished his meal, the waiter approaches him.
"Monsieur Descartes," asks the waiter, "Would you care for dessert?"

"I think not," replied Rene Descartes - and disappeared!

Many people use the reference pagan to refer to other religions, but there are so many people that can be lumped into the group pagans, that are actually very wonderful people. They do more for man kind than those who call them by this title. So I ask do you think it's an ugly and not to mention rather uninformed derogatory coment.

What's worse, sins of omission or direct sins?

For example:
If I kill you or just find you wounded & let you die?
Tell you the truth or omit what I don't want you to know?

beings in a physical realm to suffer for the duration of their life, only to judge them, and those that did a good job suffering get to go to heaven to worship him, while those who didnt go to hell to suffer more.

does that seem like an extremely stupid concept to anyone else?

I haven't noticed that if someone Agnostic or Atheists person asks a question about religion, nearly every Christian says go read the bible or your answer is in the bible. Don't you relize that most Agnostic and Atheists have read the bible?

I am a twenty-something who has lived in Iowa City, IA for about a year, and I need help finding a good church. I'm protestant and would like a fairly open-minded, intellectual atmosphere. I also love to sing, so good music is a huge plus. I don't really want a very big church, but I know that might be my only option. Any help greatly appreciated!!
