Religion & Spirituality - 6 March 2007

I know some of you will say that Christianity will not be disproven, but when it is disproven, should we continue in the Christian lifestyle?

Some things to consider:
When Christianity is disproven, mankind will have to realize that we need a reason-based morality that is more sure than the old Christian-based one.

If Christians are living within the context of a "good" but erroneous belief, then are we holding ourselves back culturally by virtue of the fact that people are choosing to believe something by way of faith only which lends itself to all manner of beliefs that can potentially harm culture and individuals.

The formula for knowledge is therefore tainted with this blight. WIthout this element in knowledge, we are forced to use science and WYSIWYG and reason.

This is one small example of how religious fundamentalism destroys knowledge.

I know that we try to convince them that there is a God because our religion teaches us that its necessary to try and bring as many as we can to Christ. But what gives atheists this sense of responsibility that they need to prove their is no God.

Why can' priests marry? i know vicars can but i dont see the reasoning why priests can't?
if the answer is they are doing gods work then why cant they do that and be married?
surely they can understand their parishoners better if they live a more normal way of life.

Stalin (1879-1953) was the product of a seminary, and learned its lessons of manipulation and mind control well. He knew that the best way to stifle dissent and to break the will of the people was to deprive them of that which they value the most. Religion, being so important to the lives of the Russian people, was the perfect target. By depriving the people of the crutch of religion, he knew he could crush their spirit.

There are no elements of freethought (the foundation of atheism) in Soviet philosophy. Stalin most certainly was unfamiliar with the humanistic underpinnings of atheism; they contradicted his goal, which was to create a totalitarian state in which he became the new god, whose dictates were not to be questioned. Individual rights, so central to freethought, were unknown in Soviet Russia.

The massacres of Stalin's reign were committed in the name of statism, not atheism, and statism is a by-product of the fundamentalist religious mindset.

I am not bashing Christians or the death penalty. I always thought Christianity was for tolerance and forgiveness. I truly don't understand and wouldappreciate somebody explaining this without attacking my politics.

why do people think that just because they go to church every sunday, or everyday, or whatever, that they can act however they want. There are gangsters that talk about god, and people who obviously don't follow teachings, etc, of christ, or God (indirectly) thinking that just because they do this they'll go to heaven. Basically, why do people think that just because they go to church and "accept" (more like acknowledge) Jesus as their savior they can do what they want? don't you think there's more to it than that?

I always hear "god" refered to as a male (He is this, he is that)-how do you know the gender of god? Isn't assigning a gender creating a god in man's image? Is god really a white guy with a long beard like he is portrayed by Christians?

just want to point out this verse as a sort of rememberance thing. cause im seeing a lot of hate on this board. ive had much directed towards me and seen even more directed towards others. remember what you believe...

1 John 3:15
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

so to make this valid the question is, do you remember and uphold this verse, or do you use it when it best benefits you?
