I have a sister Barbara. A few days ago, she went on this Yahoo & asked a question in the Religion & Spirituality Section about why she is having trouble trying to pray. She told of her husbands money troubles & of how much she loves her baby boy. She told of how they have to move by 4/1/07 & her husband was not saving money & she was worrying. She told of her panic attacks & how she can't leave the house. She got a few nice answers. Mostly she got people telling her she was lazy & to get a job. She works 4 nights a week at home doing medical transcription. One woman told her that child services would take the baby and she was an unfit mother only worrying about her husband & not the baby. We grew up in an unfit household but my sister is the best mom & wife & would not even smoke a cigarette. She has no friends, I don't know what she wanted from this yahoo. She cried showing me what people wrote. She cut her wrists but she'll live. She is in the hospital now. Think.

We know more subtle facts about life than I think we could possibly use. The Krebs cycle is certainly a funny reference on Pete & Pete, but it's not that meaningful to most humans. Why is it that humans want to know all the little hows and whys AND all the big hows and whys? My guess...an attempt to aleviate fear...an attempt to have control so we're not afraid. Thoughts?

Growing up, my parents and all other grown-ups told me that there was a Santa Clause. At around age 9, my friends and I figured out that it was all a big lie. Doesn't this practice ruin the parents'/grown-ups' credibility? If Santa is a lie (and the tooth fairy, easter bunny, etc...), then how can kids believe that God is real when you say He is? Don't you think that lying to kids is wrong? Doesn't it teach that lying is okay?

I was dumped by my girlfriend a few months agao, and then strung on by her thinking we would get back together once she figured herself out. She had a new person long before we even broke up. I feel so dumb, and hurt. I should have trusted my gut when I asked her about other guys and she would blow up in anger about me not trusting. Anyways I wanted to know if anyone knew some prayers or psalms I could read to help me feel better.

I understand that conventional Christian dogma is that humans are born in Sin (I belive this is true of most prodestant, and catholic churches, please correct me where I am mistaken).

This Sin is from Eve, and Adam choosing to eat of the tree of Knowlage of Good and Evil which God had instructed them not to eat.
All humanity now bears that sin from birth? This is one of the underlying reason many Christians are against abortion? because the unbabtised fetus would be doomed to Hell?

How can the belifef system incorporate "Free Will" for individuals, a God of Mercy and Justice, and Original Sin?

Who is the son of god?
Who was born from the womb of a mortal woman?
Who is part human, part supreme being?
Who has powers unlike that of humans?
Who used his powers to help others?
Who developed a great following?
Who has been worshipped for centuries?
Who is in writings that are thousands of years old?
Who has had structures and statues built in his honor?
Who wanted to give everyone a paradise to live in?
Who was murdered in a ritual by those who hated him?

Do you know who this is?

Nope, not Jesus.

It's Heracles!!! His stories have been around since over 1,200 years prior to the tales of Jesus.

I use to get all depressed,, but then i read this book, and it talks about how everyone in your life was brought here for a reason, and when they have served their purpose, they go to a better place, which is where we all came from any way, but we had to come back here to learn certain lessons that we wanted to learn. Also that those same people as they die, they may be sitting next to us the following week, but in a new body, their soul lives on.

Mine is to make people happy. Even when i'm serious they smile. Don't ask. I use to think this was a bad gift, but as i get older, i embrace it and i enjoy helping people get over their sorrows.

religion is only a barrier if you let it be, why does it matter? Why does one person who loves another allow themselves to get upset when the other person disagrees with their religious beliefs. Why do they let it come between them to the point that they get sad and almost break up?

There was a guy who wanted to work on the roof of his A frame home. So, he secured himself on one side by tying himself to the family car and began work on the other side. His wife, not knowing, got in the car and took off and seriously injured the man.

Information will govern your actions.

So, what have you secured your faith to? Evolution, your IRA, your"self", or ...God's promises?

You are only as secure as that which you have secured yourself.

Who would worship God after we're all wiped out?

What would be the point of having all humans in either Hell or Heaven?

Would God make a brand new Adam 2.0?

(Should I say 'Nuckyular'?)
