Religion & Spirituality - 3 March 2007

Okay, now sit down now, boys and girls - it's story time! Shhhh.... Once upon a time, billions of years ago, there was nothing. Suddenly, magically, the nothing exploded into something. That something is called hydrogen. Can you say "hydrogen?" I knew you could. This hydrogen eventually cooled down enough to condense into solid rock. It was magic rock. Inert and lifeless, but still magical. And then, magically, water formed in the sky above the rock. The waters rained on the rock for, oh, let's say billions of years. Some of the rock broke down into minerals, and these minerals washed into a pool of water.

Then one day some of these minerals magically formed into a kind of goo in the pool of water. Can you say "goo?" I knew you could. Well do you know what happened then? That's right! The goo magically became ALIVE. So anyway, this bit of magic goo magically found something to eat. Then, magically, it found another bit of magic goo to marry, and they had a whole bunch of magical little goos. Eventually - millions of years later - some of this goo grew up into all the plants and animals in the world around us. If it's alive, it came from that first bit of magic goo! Well, more time went on. Finally some of this goo magically evolved - can you say "evolved?" I knew you could - some of this goo magically evolved upwards and upwards, growing ever more advanced, bigger, stronger, smarter, until it became a kind of magical hairless ape with thumbs.

And do you know who those apes are? That's right! They're YOU and ME! We are the magic rock apes! And you know what else? Someday we'll evolve enough that we'll become the God we all know doesn't exist. Now take a nap.

I'm really only interested in hearing JW's responses on this. I'm trying to understand completely their percerption of JESUS.

Like do you view him ONLY as a prophet?
Do you view him as the Son of God, and not being God?

Would you describe Jesus as "being God?"

then...if NOT, why would you consider yourselves "Christian"?
(I could never understand the relation.)

I mean, are there actual things? Do we live in a world? When people say that it will be paradise, what exactly will it be? What will we do? I know, live in the glory of God and Jesus, but does the glory of God and Jesus mean a state of being in everything you do, or is it WHAT you do? What is this paradise like?

THINK ABOUT THAT. THE CHRISTIAN NATZIS TORTURED AND KILLED ALL THOSE JEWS. THEY THREW BABIES INTO FIRE. THEY CONDUCTED EVIL SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS ON JEWS WHILE THEY KEPT THEM CAPTIVE. THEY WERE THE MOST EVIL PEOPLE TO EVER WALK THIS PLANET. READ ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST. LOOK AT THE PICTURES ON THE INTERNET. EDUCATE YOURSELF. HOW CAN PEOPLE THINK THAT THOSE NATZI CHRISTIANS WENT TO HEAVEN. HOW CAN PEOPLE THINK THAT THOSE POOR TORTURED INNOCENT JEWS WHO DID NOTHING WRONG AND WERE GOOD PEOPLE WENT TO HELL JUST BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ACCEPT JESUS??? DO YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THOSE JEWS LIVED SUCH GOOD LIVES AND THEN SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE NATZI CHRISTIANS AND THEN SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL BURNING IN AN ETERNAL FLAME. I KNOW THAT ALL OF THOSE JEWS WOULD BE IN HEAVEN IF THERE IS A HEAVEN AND THOSE NATZI CHRISTIANS WOULD BE IN HELL IF THERE IS A HELL. HOW TO YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THE CHRISTIANS DID TO THOSE POOR JEWS. WOMEN AND CHILDREN TORTURED AND KILLED. WAKE UP.

This is a good opportunity for you guys to throw some rocks at the Christians. Are you guys splitting up into two camps? If this is all a hoax, then it has the potential to embarass some atheist pride. Are you siding with these archeologist guys, or think they are just trying to make some dough with the book and all?

What about the people covering the rest of the planet? No. Just the tiny strip of land with a tiny sect of people in this tiny frame of time, no one else. God concentrates his efforts to tiny percentage of 'chosen' people? odd..
Did the real God make himself known to anyone else at the time in any other part of the world? Or you wouldn't know because it's not in the bible?
I mean, since Hinduism is older than Judaism, How did God manage to concentrate all his universal powers and energy with one teeny tiny group of Middle Eastern Jews?
Does that seem at all strange to you?

Some of you may not know, but Islamic countries were the most prestigious when it came to science around the time the 9th century. However, their religious dogmaticism didn't like some of the answers science gave, so they sacrifised science for religion. Is America doing the same in the 21st century?

Do you have an eternal soul? If not, what is your purpose on earth. If you do have one, what happens to it when you die?

I am a Christian, I know exactly what is going to happen to my soul, I am just curious about how other people think.

Please, no funny, sarcastic one liners. This question is for earnest answers.

That is what I see with them trying to take their pseudoscience to the courts. Unlike what they like to say, there is no "controversy" and "alternative theory" in scientific community.

Same thing goes with trusting scientists with issues of cancer, building skyskrapers, etc., but it seems the origins of life is something they just can't get right while Billy Bob from Jackson Missouri with his High School diploma can disprove.

What do you believe is really behind UFO's and alien abduction? Is it a government scheme, the activity of fallen angels in biblical scripture or do you truly believe in aliens?
