Religion & Spirituality - 16 March 2007

If we believe on Jesus, and through His death we have atonement for our sins--past, present, and future, then, why do we still have to ask God for forgiveness today? The person on the radio told the caller that he is in error when he asked God to forgive him because it has already been done. Anyone ever heard of this explantion? I believe the show is called People to People out of Texas. Just did not sound right to me.

My husband and I subscribe to very basic cable, the kind that costs $15 a month. We don't watch a lot of television, so we don't want to waste the extra money. Well, last week we suddenly started getting the full cable, everything but the movie channels. We assumed it was a weekend promotion or something.

We still have it. My sweet husband felt like we were stealing so he called the cable company and reported it. They are supposed to come and turn it back to the cheapo cable. Now, he and I are atheists. Nobody knew were getting it free. It was not costing anyone for us to be getting it, but he still was that honest. Does this speak badly of the morals of atheists?

PS, I do have to say I told him to wait a while as I wanted to see the Jesus Camp South Park. ;-)

According to Islam, Mohamed (PBUH) is a Messenger of God.
According to Christianity, Jesus (PBUH) is a Son of God.(some say He is the God). Can anyone, please explain ?

I propose we start a new religion called Pangelism where we try to follow Pangel's example of love and tolerance to all. That will be the unifying force of our religion...the other things we believe will be inconsequential to this religion. Oh, and you can keep your current religion too, so long as you bide by both religions. It can be compatible with Christianity, with Islam, with Pagan religions, with Spiritualism, with just about any religion really. Who's with me?

Look in Revelation 20. Can there really be a burning fire/brimstone hell if it as long as Death (which is not a tangible object) will be tossed along with it into the lake of fire (which means the second death)? Holl@me...

35Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"
"Nothing," they answered.

36He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'[b]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."

38The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords."
"That is enough," he replied. [Luke 22:35-38]


and you dont consider Jesus being called a 'son of God' metaphorical?

We see Chris angel can walk on water, damn near all magicians can turn water into wine, Chris can also fly from one building to the next. Don't even get me started on healing powers. Damn near every evangelical with a room full of people can make tens of thousands think they can heal people and get them to jump off the wheel chair and run around. Hell, Benny Hinn has thousands of times more people believing him than Jesus ever had during his lifetime. He would probably have at least 30 million or more people around the planet believing it. Jesus would have had less than a million, maybe less than 100,000 if the text is even true that he was even attempting that miracle, which is very questionable.

I don't quite under stand Atheism. What makes you believe that there isn't a god? Do you really think that something like the "Big Bang" is real and actually created the Earth? Science can't explain it. They say they can but not really. I mean there is so much evidence that there is a god.
I'm just really curious on how you think the world and people were created and everything.

I am beginning to learn how to read tarot and I have a few questions:

If you are reading for others how do you answer questions like "What will he/she look like?" using tarot cards?? I mean, I have heard that certain suits can indicate whether a person is dark, medium or fair skinned as well as could indicate eye color.. but I really have no idea..

And also, how do you answer such questions like, when can I expect to meet him/her?

Or what do you tell a client that is asking some very specific and detailed question that tarot cards are not designed to answer. Or are there ways to answer every question?

Alot of this I know will deal with my own ability to read the cards and what I pick up from them...but there should be a way to get "help" from the cards to.

A Congressmen announced yesterday that he is in fact an Atheist.( I am a Christian BTW) I was listening to talk radio this morning and they are outraged over the fact he is not a Christian and openly omitting he's Atheist. Shouldn't a person's belief or in this case "disbelief" be a PRIVATE matter. What do they think he's going to do advocate the boiling in oil of children? We have a man running for President who is LDS, as a Christian I could care less if a politician is Jewish, Catholic, Muslim or worships the moon & a sun God. Not everyone will agree with my particular religious view. Everyday I work with, eat with, talk to, etc with people who are not carbon copies of myself & beliefs.

Am I the only one who see's it this way...or am I missing something here?

Did Sigmund Freud have any religious persuasions?

I hope this question is not too ignorant and does not offend.

When I was in high school, one day in September, just after school started, a boy who was quite mean, and whom I did not like, suddenly walked up to me in the hall way, saying he had to talk to me, and apologized for how poorly he had treated me in the previous year. I had no idea what this was all about, and just shrugged it off. For the remainder of the year, he continued being a jerk to me and everyone else. This led me to believe he was not sincere, and merely "messing with my head" in a very cruel way.

As I grew older, and wiser in the ways of the world and other faiths, I learned that at Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, adherents of Judaism apologize to all those whom they have offended in the previous year.

My high school "pal" was in fact Jewish,as I recalled, and then it clicked.

What is the correct response to this religious obsequy? Does one merely accept the apology with "thank you," how?
