Religion & Spirituality - 10 March 2007

I've had a look around R&S today and it seems everyone is getting along fine. Drinking jokes aside.

The Network thing is working well, Q&As are humerous, interesting and courteous. And I'm just as guilty with my 'Be Excellent to Each Other' thing.

I suppose you're all jolly pleased with yourselves, aren't you?

I just wonder what sort of impression Regulars think we are giving to Newbies? I ask you people, is this the sort of thing we want to encourage in Religion and Spirituality?

Okay, lets say we invite Jesus, Mohammed, Jacob, Sidartha (the Budha), Zoroaster, Nunak, the Hindu gods and goddesses, and everyone else to dinner. Hell, we'll even make a place at the table for nobody, just for the Atheists It's a large party.

What would you ask them (or a specific one)? What do you think they would say about the current state of the world today?

This has always been one of my biggest unanswered...or should I say not answered well enough questions.
And please no mumbo jumbo, like their spouses fell out of the sky.

No matter what I read about the mind and life, one question I can't reconcile is, what is that little point in our heads that says "I think, therefore I am." It never goes away, there is an awareness that is always there, even when I sleep, something experiences my dreams. What do athiests think this awareness is, exactly. I hear some scientific definitions, but they don't really answer the question. Not a religious debate, just want to know what an athiest feels we are. What makes me..me, and you...you, exactly?

Joh 8:40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you I reject Jesus. And that you can use yahoo answers all you want to witness to me, I for one will ask about Godzillas bowling shoes.

I just wanted to tell you that to your faces.

I guess I am just cranky today, but I have a very hard time taking anyone seriously who can not put two words together without spelling one of them incorrectly, or wording their questions and comments with horrid grammar. I do want to also say that I find atheists tend to be better writers here. Oh, and I do make exception for Tragic Typos. Those are my favorite questions. Yes, I will have some cheese with my wine. I would like the Morbier, please.

Also, I ask, do you think every sp_erm is sacred

For example: raising the dead, walking on water, a staff turned into a snake, feeding of 5,000 from one basket, water into wine, curing the blind, the sun stopped, etc. If not, why?

Why are people taking such offence to things on here??

I am not trying to pick apart anyones religions, neither do i slate you for having your beliefs.

I have every right as an athiest, to come on this board to have debates with people. It is nothing personal, so why take it that way?

I have my beliefs just as you have yours.
