Religion & Spirituality - 27 March 2007

Spring has arrived and Easter is upon us. It's my favorite time of year. New birth....new growth and the celebration of life. I would like to take a moment o reflect on the gift of life that has been given to us all- because of Jesus. Please comment about Easter and what this Holiday means for you.

their non-belief. rather like the way some people shout out blasphemy! when you question theirs? i thought of theisphamy, but it sounds too klunky and doesn't seem to carry enough weight of shocked indignation.

Concerning the loss of someone you love?
And memories and thoughts of what you saw when the person was discovered?
I want to know your stories and about how long it takes and what you did that helped you when you were traumatized by loss.
I try to keep myself busy and taking fairly good care of myself, and push the thoughts out of my head and focus or think on something else, but it's just so hard not to...

I was raised as a Catholic (went to a Catholic school and everything). I'm not really pious but I do believe some of my religion's doctrines. But the wierd thing is the more I dive into my career (scientific reasearch and stuff) and become more rational with the things around me, I am finding the influence of my religion to be less and less. As of now, my religion has become my moral guide and nothing more. Yet, at my toughest times I find myself saying a little prayer. I do believe there is a god. I still have Faith left in me. But sometimes I ask myself, "What if there's no GOD?" And when we die, we just die and become one with the earth. Nothing more. No heaven or hell. It's sorta sad when i look at life like this. So i've been trying to make my life count for something. I do not care about the afterlife, for all i know there's nothing special that will happen to me after i die. But i will leave this world a better place. Not for my legacy, but for my life!

What would you do if you were a theologian or a professional apologist, and you were invited to browse through the Vatican Archives with unlimited access, so you could research early Christian records - and you came across documents that showed detailed plans of how Christianity was completely made up, and that Jesus had just been an ordinary man who the early Church writers simply used in their story? Suppose you had the documents verified by every reliable source and that there was no question as to their authenticity and that the more you researched, the more evidence came up to support it! Suppose the Vatican was horrified that you made the discovery and you found out that it was a gigantic cover up and that the whole idea behind Christianity was political!

And that secular accounts of Jesus in history were also faked!?

How would you respond to this?

This is for my Christian school ethics class. I have to imagine it's all true.

I remember reading stories about autistic kids being accidentally killed during "excorsisms" during the 80's. A lot of abuse unleashed upon those kids by some preachers.

i have seen many healings in my time as a christian, yet have not seen one that can be proved as substancial proof as a true healing? i have seen many frauds, many based on unbalanced teachings. i have seen many false prophesies and the liking. the question i raise is did jesus only heal during his time to mark the importance of his time and the early church- and when he said this evil generation all they demand is miracles and signs so the only sign they will see is the miracle of jonah- which is symbolic christ dying and raising back to life after the third day- so maybe this relates to all of us today and back to that period? please prove me wrong by stating your miraclious healing that cant have any other explanation?

A friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. He went to a hospital, had surgery and now the cancer is gone!

We didn't even need to pray or anything! It's a miracle! Praise the doctors!
