during a crisis, and what do you expect from it?
General Dwight D. Eisenhower said," This is what I found out about religion: it gives you courage to make the decision you must make in a crisis and the confidence to leave the results to a higher Power. Only by trust in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose."

After you die your soul supposedly goes to heaven (or hell) right? So you really don't need your body.

And yet I have seen many (but of course, not all) Christians who refuse to donate their organs/body after they die for religious reasons.
Not only that, but a LOT opt to waste valuable land on tombs, grave plots, etc... instead of doing the sensible thing and being cremated or stuffed (okay maybe a little creepy..) to save space for something more beautiful than a 2 acre plot of skeletal remains.

Anyway, what's the deal with these people? Is there some passage that says God cares if you donated organs after your death, even though it would be used for good?
Seems like that would be a beneficial thing for your heavenly evaluation, doesn't it?
-Went to church.
-Was nice to people.
-Saved three lives, even after death.

Isn't KEEPING your organs a little selfish, considering the amounts of LIVING people on waiting lists who could use any in tact organs you have to offer?

Maybe someone can explain to me how the catholic church can "revise" something. It makes me think that they have no idea what the hell (no pun intended) they are doing....

for example

the limbo thing

Confession= you tell your sins to a guy that gives you a punishment for them (didnt jeasus die for those so I dont have to be punished for them?) and why do I need to tell a priest, why not just say sorry to god?

Saints= Thou shall not have any other gods before me, yet they pray to saints, wear jewlrey with images of saints, set up shrines to saints.

So what happens to all those babies in limbo now that the pope ended the concept of limbo?
Isn't all this stuff supposed to be divine? How can one dude just scrap the whole idea? how bogus.

Paul says that without the resurrection, the Christian faith is in vain (1 Cor 15:14). How could the biblical accounts possibly disagree on such an important narrative?

By all modern scientific accounts, human procreation is not possible without an underlying DNA structure. However, that very same DNA mechanism that allows us to come to life concomitantly deprives us of immortality. The question is: Did Adam & Eve have a DNA structure prior to being expelled from the Garden of Eden, or did a DNA makeup become a part of their Earthly sentence, subsequent to their act of disobedience? … Is it possible that the jealous angels (in particular Lucifer) conspired against them using a DNA implant on the seventh day that God decided to rest? … LOL

If you believe you can't lose your salvation once you've decided to become saved and asked God to come into your heart then why will God blot out some people's names in the lamb's book of life in Rev.?

John 3:13
No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man (Jesus).
That gets rid of Elijah, the man in Corinthians, and Enoch.

Is it because of their mass-population mind control techniques like telling mothers that their babies won't go to heaven unless the mothers are part of the church so that the mothers can tithe (everything, especially when it comes to sex rules and making more infant mind slaves for the Pope, revolves around tithing)?

Is it the mass murder throughout the ages?

Is it the other murders that are not so well known like when somebody dies during a schizophrenia-based exorcism?

Is it the scams that involve the Virgin Mary appearing on a taco?

Is it the logical fallacies used instead of rationality?

Is it the endless sex scandals between lecherous priests and little boys?

Is it the spare-the-rod-spoil-the- child mentally of letting closet-lesbian, child-hating nuns raise children, who are celibate except when sexually abusing the children?

Is it the charity for profit and fame?

So the Mormons (LDS) beleive that this Joseph Smith dude got some special revelation for God and even got revelations enough to create a new book (the Book of Mormon) and millions of people fell for it. So what if I claimed I got revelations from God, created my own new Bible and a new beleif system who is ready to follow me?

"What's the point of living with out a reason at all?
What's the point of living to stand up just to fall?

What's the point of living, if we just die at the very end?
What the point of living, to be forgotten, never existing ever again?

What's the point of living if to die with out fulfilling a single dream?
What's the point of living, if one day life won't have a single thing?

What's the point of living if we all just die?
Whats the point of even being, in this messed up dread full life?

What's the point of living?
I just don't get it at all.
What's the point of living,
to stand up,
just to fall?"

Then will this end all the Catholic traditions of praying for the dead? And the idea of indulgences -- that if a deceased loved one has passed on there are certain times when they will be admitted to Heaven if their family prays for them?

African American or some other minority? I think there would be a lot more sympathy for him. I know what he did was beyond description but can you imagine what emotional pain he must have been suffering to do something of the magnitude as what he did. I'm not making excuses but if we want to best prevent future 'Cho" we better dam.n well figure him out as best we can.

Honestly, with respect, I just don't believe in your religion as I don't believe in Christianity either.

However, although I do feel fairly well versed on Christianity I do not feel well versed on Islam.

I think knowledge is the biggest key to preventing misunderstandings and learning more about what other people are thinking. I really don't trust the American media for giving me information on Islam. I don't think they are "evil", just lazy.

So I'm going to look at information for myself.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

-Are you ready? Would you look at your life with regret?

Any other thoughts please describe. Thanks for all your feedback.
