Particularly when a number of them were raised in Christian homes and have plenty of knowledge of the Bible. But they disagreed with it, thus becoming non-Christian.

Has anyone out there ever quit their job to travel? In five weeks time I will be doing just that; I'll be traveling from the American northeast, to the south, then out west to New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, then back east. It's the first time I've ever done anything like this and I was wondering if anyone had any advice that they could offer. I have no new job lined up, nor do I have any plans beyond the end of my roadtrip; you could call it a spiritual journey in search of myself if you want to, but it's more than that; I'm looking for a new way of life, a new place to be, and a new me. Are their any travelers or seekers out there that can share what they've learned from a similar experience?

Most people hear seem to think that only Christians believe in a young creation.

I just ran across the site below that shows that any other countries have believed in a young creation also, including Egypt, India and China (who are often sited as being much older, yet they date creation at not much more than 6000 years).

Do you not think that this means they knew that they are younger than 6000 BC?

-you are relatively healthy,at the moment, starting to need help doing things, and you know over time you will deteriorate.
-your mind is intact
-your medical needs don't require hospital care
-you have limited money, ie fixed income
-you have few or no family or friends
-you have been asked to choose the kind of setting you wish to live in for your last days, and someone else is footing the bill(within reason).

wild dream answers are always appreciated, but I would also like to see some serious answers.

I think it is a parable where Samaria and Israel bear the name Oholah and Jerusalem and Judah bear the name of Oholibah.

But then at 23:20 whoever wrote it goes on a tangent about donkey schlongs and horse semen.

The KJV tries to be nice about it with
"For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."

But a lot of other bibles are less euphemistic about the whole thing: http://bible.cc/ezekiel/23-20.htm
The God's Word translation really gets into the spirit of things.

As an agnostic, I am always open to the possibility of an unkown greater being,


HOWEVER, I am a strong disbeliever of religion- meaning that I don't believe the "god" will be anything that Christians/ Muslims claim him/her/it to be. I think the descriptions that many religious people give their "god" is absolutely rediculous. It is hard for me to understand why a god would value butt kissing over human kindness and tolerance.



What are your thoughts on my views?

what's the state with the most atheists?

Let's see:
1. The primary symbol is an instrument used to torture a man to death.
2. There's the idea that God hated everyone so much that He'd only be appeased by having his own son killed -- infanticide.
3. And the primary ritual is to mimic cannibalism.

Gee, now there's a recipe for a healthy mind! No wonder so much hate and violence comes from it. People think it's permissible to do what their gods do. What a sick, twisted and insulting conception of a Supreme Being.

I want to say this with all respect. Precious ladies. Women of G-d. Please, can we obey the Bible with our dress! Even when we don't see the reason why. Isaiah 55:8-9 says we don't have to understand.

Fact of the matter is men have wandering eyes and we are sinful in nature. I really get distracted and tempted by the evil one when a woman comes to service in skin tight tops or low cut tops. Or anything other than a long skirt for the bottom. I know its an issue rarely discussed. But if you know how it harms the men in there, I bet you would cease doing this.
I am both human and sinful.

As Romans says, we hate sin, but do it anyhow. Lets not induce it in the House of G-d.

I'm not asking who wears what. But at your next womens meeting at your congregation...would you bring this up?? Please??

Not many men will admit this...ego and pride tells us to say "doesn't bother me". But it does.

Lets keep the sin under us.

Baruch,
David

That is the religion that, 2300 years ago, spread its ideas to both the West and the East. Of course one would actually have to put his or her own superstitions aside for awhile and study the history of world religions to know it.

I am a Pagan and proud.

The Christians say I am going to Hell. I have made peace with this assertion.

Now, have you made peace? Can I get a big, "I'm going to Hell according to them, and I've made peace with that!?"

Honk if your fine with not being a Christian!

It's just that I am a person that believes in humor through divine irony and I can't understand why the catholic version of the christian god is so freakin serious all the time. It's as though God is some fictional father figure that hangs his head in disappointment at humanity and says that all they have to do to repent for their sins is 20 hail marys and all is forgiven.On top of all that they assume that through their supreme powers of interpretation,they have complete say so over how all other denominatios of the same faith should interpret the scriptures. i don't know about you but that sounds a little arrogant for people who by the very definition of their faith should be nothing more than humble servants to their god. As always I mean no disrespect to the faith itself, i merely see a need to question the reason of the people who practice it.

Especially in the religion category. To disagree with someone doesn't mean that they are dumb, worthless ground-dirt and you ae the high, grand pooh-bah of intellegence.

Why does it favor the Magi in the Christmas story who were astrologers who followed Zoasterism? Nowhere does it say they made any attempts to convert to Judaism. Since they returned to their homeland in Persia, it is very unlikely they would be allowed to practice Judaism.
