Religion & Spirituality - 3 March 2007

Pagan and heathen "religions" are mostly joined by people who spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet. They talk about making altars, performing rituals and profess to holding high-minded ideals about peace and protecting the environment, but in actuality they are too lazy to do anything except make up elaborate internet profiles on various websites. They are natural attention whores and love adopting titles for themselves but little, if any, religious practice.

Apparently remaining in aforementioned "religions" causes vast amounts of weight gain as evidenced by the physical appearance of most pagans and heathens. This is best explained by constant internet usage, the non-stop sitting and snacking that is associated with endless keyboarding, and the refusal of pagans and heathens to get a job or otherwise contribute to society in a meaningful way.

how can we arrive at a time frame to calculate the creation of the universe by God if he did not have a beginning.He has always been.You need to know when God became God to work out how long it was before he created the universe.You cant go back far enough in time to work out when he started to create everything at some point in time because there is no starting time to help you work it out .Ihope this makes some sense

Hi! There were like 40 replies to my last question in half an hour and it got all muddled up. I am not playing devil's advocate for the sake of it! I believe in science, and also, this is what the catholic church teaches!

Can you please explain tectonic plate movement!? That's the movement of the plates of the earths crust. The continents used to be together, and over millions of years they moved apart.


Carbon 14 dating aside (can't believe i'm saying that) can you please explain the grand canyon to me?! Are you saying that it was ALL gorged out in a couple of thousand years?! I mean, have you SEEN IT?!


How come there isn't any mention of an ice age of glaciation in the bible? TO make a glaciated valley takes far more than 6000 years....

Oh, by the way, dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years.

How do you explain chimpanzees sharing 98% of our dna?


Oil, it drives your car... It takes millions of years to form from decaying fossils. (hence, "fossil fuel")

Does Jehovah view the life of a child as precious even during the very early stages of development after conception?

Ps. 139:13-16: “You [Jehovah] kept me screened off in the belly of my mother. . . . Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing.”

Has God ever stated that a person would be called to account for injury to an unborn child?

Ex. 21:22, 23: “In case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices. But if a fatal accident should occur, then you must give soul for soul.” (Some translations make it appear that in this law to Israel the crucial matter was what happened to the mother, not to the fetus. The original Hebrew text, however, refers to a fatal accident to either mother or child.)

How serious is the willful taking of a human life for a reason not authorized by God?

Gen. 9:6: “Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.”

1 John 3:15: “No manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.”

Ex. 20:13: “You must not murder.”

No, I'm not talking about World of Warcraft addicts. I've heard testimonies of people encountering dark beings with evil glowing red eyes. There are stories of so-called "bargests" (a.k.a. "black dogs") in British folklore and even sightings of them. I want to find out where I can get (at least somewhat) genuine testimonials from people who have seen things like them, of ghostly figures of any shape.

This was a common practice back when the bible was written, men could reject their newborn children and leave them out in the cold to starve or freeze--the rejection could be for any reason, but was usually because a daughter was born, sons were better since they could help out more, OR if the baby was born deformed or disabled. The Bible has no problem with this practice, barbaric as it seems by today's standards--GOD APPROVES. So what the HELL (literally) makes you think he gives two dry farts in a windstorm about abortions? Just because he's sexist and it's the woman making the choice?

Okay so if the Bible is the story of humanity from start to finish where's the ice age? Wouldn't that be an important note worthy moment in history. It's been proven that there were humans during the ice age. I mean there's a hundred stories in the Bible far less interesting than the world being covered in ice. I mean even if God was like, "That was the weather, not me" shouldn't THAT be mentioned in the Bible?

How can we still believe in the Bible when it makes no mention of the single greatest threat ever to our species?

Why don't they have a children's choir or a teenager choir? Its better than the music they have now! Catholic churches are not as good as they are in England. Any Catholics agree the church is in need of a major overhaul? What would you like to see done away with? I'd like to see the confessional done away with as you confess your sins directly to Jesus who relays them to God as the Bible says. Cut out the middleman.

It would be best if you were to read the first fourteen verses of Matthew 12. I have some idea of what this might mean, but it is a flemsy answer. I thank you for taking the time to answer this, but ask that you would not go off topic :-). Thank you.

Jesus told the repentant to sin no more.I fail Him all the time yet strive to live for Him,and make daily choices according to what I believe Is God's word. Why does that bother you,if it does? Do you have anything stronger to cling to?We are all searching for the truth right?

I am highly offended. Last month my entire email account was deleted and I have been trying to contact yahoo to find out why. My only assumption is that an answer to someone's question was that I feel that sometimes paddling a child is an effective form of behavior modification...this is MY opinion...why is it wrong or offensive??? Also I get a violation thing today because some overly religious person asked why atheists don't go door to door trying to get people to not believe in god. My opinion is that overly religious people are annoying because they force their beliefs down your throat and when you have you own ideas, they condemn you and play the role of god telling you that you are going to hell. I said that I am neither an atheist nor a religious freak. Is this opinion wrong...or are you offended by it? If you want to ask a question don't get defensive and report those whose opinion is different from your own. honestly, get a life.
