Religion & Spirituality - 17 April 2007

Okay, there is no GOOD way to ask that question, but to clarify, I am not a vorarephiliac, and find vorarephilia particularly distateful. (Not that I have any moral imperative against vorarephiliacs, I just couldn't handle that)... That said, after I die, what would make it something that is wrong to eat me? (assuming I am otherwise healthy when I die).

I was thinking about things earlier, and the options society presents are:
A) Make your family pay thousands so they can get together and be sad (or happy as the case may be, you could make it a party in theory.)
B) Have your body burned, don't waste the money, but still let an asset go to waste.
C) (though it is still rejected almost as much as cannibalism) Cryogenics... incredibly expensive and probably impractical....

I don't have kuru, there's a good chance I won't be diseased at all, and people are starving elsewhere in the world... Why would there be such a big taboo on feeding them?

i don't think Jesus came to earth to start religions. Came to spread GODS word. Religions today are like gangs. you got Baptist talking bad about Catholics even though they are both Christians. what sense does that make? with my beliefs in this world i am considered a Christian but the whole religion thing really grinds my gears. what do you think? and why are some Christians so judgmental? isn't being a Christian about forgiving and not judging?

in my confirmation 1 class i remember hearing a story about her ...and all I remember is that she had something to do with roses...and if you prayed a novena to her( asking her for help to get God's attention to me or my problem,and in hope that God will answer your prayer)with great faith you would some how recive roses (anykind)as a sign that your prayer has been herd and to still have hope and faith in god.

actually when I meant about finding out Saint Therese's story, I mean how did she become a saint?

Before i explain the most commonly misquoted and misunderstood hadith found in Bukhari and Muslim, i first want to tell the reader some important information about the system of hadith collecting and writing down by famous Imams in history. Imam Bukhari for example in his Jami is not only collecting Hadiths but at the same time he is trying to prove his opinions on fiqh which is known as fiqhul bukhari fi tarajimihi. Therefore, Imam bukhari might bring the same Hadith a number of times to prove different things from it, however, in doing this he does not bring the full Hadith, but chops the irrelevant bits off so that it doesnt drag and goes straight to the point. This in hadith terminology is known as taqteeul hadith.

I know it is the fact that humans have to blame someone. It is easy to accept that a person can't work because they are in too much pain from a physical ailment. However, people refuse to accept a person with an addiction as having a disease. They have found that drug addiction can be genetic.

The brain is just as physical as the body, therefore it too is subject to imperfections and problems. But being that the brain is so complex, the effects are too. Brain = behavior therefore if your brain is lacking in some chemical that controls impulse, then you will become impulsive. The brain craves stimulation and if it isn't getting it, you will feel compelled to get some. Then you can't stop no matter how muchyou want to because your impulse takes over. It's like you are on autopilot and are just looking at yourself threw a mirror.

Before we make ignorant claims and statements one should be educated with the facts. Do you agree?

I'd like to hear something more substantial than "because the Bible says so."

Can you really make that claim whole heartedly? Can you really say that the people who wrote the Bible made up their children's names and their own geneologies?

Can you really say that the Bible is a book full of crock when a lot of it is people's accounts of their own lives and families? And if that's the case how can you even believe history books?

What do you really believe about the Bible and are you being truely honest with yourself?

I am tired of other Christians making light of homosexuality. It is one thing for a person to have gay thoughts, it is another to actually act on them over and over again.

In Leviticus, Chapter 20, Verse 13, it says:

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

It clearly says there in the Bible that gays should be put to death.

Now, I think that maybe times have changed and maybe the death penalty isn't always warranted for gays, but why would God say this if it wasn't a really, really bad sin?

The Bible is the word of God. Homosexuality is wrong. To deny this is ant-Christian and I am tired of fellow Christians acting like it's no big deal. That only encourages gays to do behavior that will make them burn in Hell forever when they die?

What are your thoughts?

In reality, the Norse expeditions to North America were led by Leif Erikson, a Christian. He had no intention of conquering native people, never took slaves, and eventually decided to head back to Greenland because of attacks by the native "Skraelings."

However, from what I've seen of the movie (I haven't watched it, but I've checked out the website, read reviews, and watched the commercials), they replaced the Christians with followers of the old religion and made them even more bloodthirsty and savage than the worst descriptions by the Christian monks.

It seems to me that the movie has thrown out what really happened back then and replaced it all with as much violence as they could image, most of which isn't even remotely plausible.

In my opinion, this movie gives people the wrong impression of Asatru and is extremely insulting to its followers and anyone who knows anything about history.

Have any of you seen the movie? What is your opinion of it?

If God has been beyond your comprehension then how would you know? Wouldn't that be the opposite of Omnipresence?

I am neither atheist nor agnostic nor theist. If there is a God then what makes you believe that he falls into silly worldy labels such as "existing" or "not existing"? If there is a God, then certainly he should be able to transcend universal laws and worldy labels. So I believe that God is so beyond us that he neither exist nor does not exist. God is God and he is outside all of the worldy labels of "existing" and "not existing".

but reject the Torah, Koran, Book of Mormon, and Superman comics? Aren't they all "holy books" edited and decided, and chosen by men, not God?
