Seems like a reasonable idea from the point of view of religious leaders - let your flock proliferate as much as possible so that you (hopefully) have more followers in the future.

So there is this girl in my school who went to confession and confessed to the priest that she had sex with her boyfriend more than once...and the priests exact words were "you are going to hell"! Even though you can say this is one persons (priests) reaction to this confession but this priest represents the teaching and the ways of the catholic church...murders can be forgiven...molesters can be forgiven...and they are not to be considered "bad" people they are considered to be people with a sickness or problem. these people have a "excuse"....but a person who has sex is considered a person without morals and has bad judgment. because to want to have sex or do it is not immoral or bad is the person you are doing it with loves you and respects you...in the eyes of the church people who have premarital sex have no excuse....what is your opinion on this...compare and discuss!

how do you decipline the kids? like in my religion we tell little kids that God does not like this if they do bad things or in christianity they say that Santa won't come to give you a gift on christmass,
so what do you tell kids?
At what age do you tell the kid that in your point of view there is no god.
If a kid is going through hard time in school what do you say deal with it or what?
How do you make them a good grownup? with out any relgious morals?

Some/most (I'm not sure) religions preach that 'kindness begets kindness', and that one should be good to others so that others would be good to oneself and that we can all 'make the world a better place to live in'.

However, philosophy (particularly Confucian) teaches that one should be good to others IF others are good to you and that you can be direct with your enemy if need be.

To most, religion is supposedly of 'higher enlightenment' than philosophy, but philosophy seems to be constructed on self-respect.

So, which will you follow? (choose one and explain)

They advocate a 180-degree opposite of Vatican doctrine and have murdered at least one Pope... What does this rogue organization have to do in order to be ex-communicated?

I have been, many times. Fireball came out once saying that Christians should do more about environmental issues.

I love it when that happens! Do you have any similar surprises?

I'm fascinated by the confidence with which ordinary people dismiss the findings of science in fields which they clearly know absolutely nothing about. Do they really think their opinions are more valid than those of hundreds of thousands of scientists who have been working on these things for many years? I'd be willing to bet that they would readily concede to the greater knowledge of nuclear physicists or microchip designers or industrial chemists, but when it comes to the origin of the universe or living organisms, suddenly they think they're experts. It's very perplexing :-)

Near the hearth? In a corner near your garden?

WHAT? You don't have a shrine to the Lar Familiaris (household Gods)? No wonder your pipes break and your roof collapses and your basement floods and there are termites all through the woodwork.

Surely the omnipotent God could have created a language that all people can understand? Or why did he force people to spread out and develop different languages then pick one particular language to spread his word in? Doesn't make sense. If Babel is true, does that mean translating the Bible is a sin, for God doesn't want all people to communicate and intermingle?

The reason I ask this is because I have had people tell me that they fear God more because he is the one who determines what happens to you for all eternity after you die
but I have also had others tell me that they fear the Devil more because he is on Earth now and has the power to do as he wishes here and God cant stop him.

How do you feel ???????????????????
