Religion & Spirituality - 14 April 2007

Or are you just a moron? It makes me sick when someone says that a person can go to hell for being a part of a different religion, what kind of conformist retard are you? and what gives a human the right to decide who will or will not go to heaven or hell? who goes or doesnt go wherever is god's choice, not yours. and what about the poeple who don't follow a religion or dont even believe in god? if god gave people the ability to choose than who is really to blame? can you blame an intelligent being for only believing what seems resonable to them?

I would like to ask this question only to people who actively meditate. I would like to learn how to meditate but I don't know how to begin. I am not able to sit cross legged on the floor, does it matter? I am overweight (and on a diet), so some positions are uncomfortable for me. Does it matter? Can I still meditate, and how do I do it? I am over 50 y.o., does it matter when it comes to meditating? I would like to do Buddhist meditation, is zazen the only option? Can I use candles (music, chanting, whatever you wish to add....)as a focus instead of breath? I have tried breathing meditation and it doesn't seem to work for me. I promise that I will practice each method mentioned to me before choosing the best answer. Thanks.

It appears that from reading some of the answers on here that if I don't belong to an organization that raises and waves their hands while singing to god, and falls on the floor flopping around like fish after being "slain in the spirit" I belong to a cult. I just got an invitation to join the National Geographic Society...should I be leary? Plus I have friends whos kids are in Boyscouts, and even Brownies. Heck, my mom belongs to AARP...what should I do?

I have a set paste you have probably seen.
Thy house doth fall in disrespect.
Thy words do spew of offal.
Thy body fills with thy Rot.
Thou art a Troll.
Thou art a bigot.
Thou art an apostate of thine own religion.
Thy God doth abhor thee.

When I see a question like "Do All Wiccans have an upside down five point star on their palm?" I immediately click on the Asker's avator. This will take me to that person profile. If the profile has few answers, many questions, Joined within the week and is minus on points they're a troll and probably won't even read your answers. I then paste in my "Troll curse" and go on with life with two more points. I've only gotten one negative feedback.

1CO 7:1 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.
So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better.
According to the bible, Marriage seems not has good has, staying celibate. What do you think? I was reading in my bible and came across it.

Sarah Silverstein is a comedian whose act makes Don Imus blush.

She tells a very good joke though, which is perfectly safe for all ears, and begs the question - what is, and is not, forgivable?

A Jewish American Princess talks with her neice who is enthusiastically learnring Jewish heritage, history, practices, traditions and all other important things for those God loves best. The neice (a God chosen being of pure pulsating light and love) tells the older, wiser, street smart gilded phragohm that is Sarah Silverman, that in school, she is being taught all about the holocaust, and how the Germans killed 60 million Jews. The elder chosen then reminds her neice that in point of fact, the Germans only killed 6 million Jews. There is a pause, and the younger girl kind of laughs and says "Sarah, what's the difference?"

And Sarah says "honey, 60 million would be unfogivable."

So what is and what is not forgiveable? I hypothesize there is not one sin that can not be made forgiv

or did the notion of some 7 day period of time that might mean something exist before then? Come to think, it's really only a quarter of a moon's cycle, isn't it? About that? But did the specific time period of 7 days mean anything before the book of Genesis was written?

Ok, I am an Atheist, (If that matters at all) and I feel that the bible is a fictional book full of stories that are supposed to help us run our lives better, and help to guide us to be better people, I also think that the bible isn't supposed to be taken literally, b/c it's just a bunch of moral-filled stories... Am I the only person that think this?

Have a nice day, everybody!

Paul wrote and said that the person who has been reborn by the Holy Spirit of God is resurrected in the same manner that Christ Himself was resurrected and glorified. Having a body that is immortal and never aging nor ever experiencing sin, sickness or the pain of death ever again thus going on to be with those who are in heaven but to those who do not receive this new life in Christ, their spirit goes to a place that is prepared for Lucifer and his fallen co-horts (demons). And this place is called hell. Paul also wrote that after the Great White Throne judgement of God those whose names who are not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life were cast alive into a Lake of Fire and those who refused to receive cleansing by the blood of Christ. This is why no religion can save a soul. Only Jesus Christ can give new life to those who come to him by faith and he anoints them to become kings in his coming kingdom. Go to trumpetmin.org

I have this idea. For one 24-hour period, I will pick a religion and pretend to be a follower of that religion, just to see what it feels like. I'll pretend to believe in that other religion and try to imagine how life looks different from that perspective. I will do it respectfully, of course, as a way to come to a deeper appreciation and understanding of the other religion.

Which religion should I choose?
Would you like to join me? What religion will you choose?

Of course, I realize, that for some, this experiment would go against your religion, and cannot therefore participate. That's fine. This is just for those for whom it would not go against your principles.

SHAMEFUL DAUGHTERS

In fact, the difference between the Biblical and the Quranic attitude towards the female sex starts as soon as a female is born. For example, the Bible states that the period of the mother's ritual impurity is twice as long if a girl is born than if a boy is (Lev. 12:2-5). The Catholic Bible states explicitly that:

"The birth of a daughter is a loss" (Ecclesiasticus 22:3).
In contrast to this shocking statement, boys receive special praise:

"A man who educates his son will be the envy of his enemy." (Ecclesiasticus 30:3)
Jewish Rabbis made it an obligation on Jewish men to produce offspring in order to propagate the race. At the same time, they did not hide their clear preference for male children: "It is well for those whose children are male but ill for those whose are female", "At the birth of a boy, all are joyful...at the birth of a girl all are sorrowful", and "When a boy comes into the world, peace comes into the world...

isnt it true that everybody interupts the bible differantly and if you do take it literaly word for word as the word of god then why do some gospels differ from each other when it describes one event?
what is your interuptation to these quotes from the bible;
it says that if a man rape a virgin then he is to pay her father, and then the girl is to marry him and not leave him.
Deuteronomy 22:27-28
Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . . . "

Hosea 13:16 "they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with children shall be ripped up."

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Eph.6:5
