They've never seen their "God"-like characters and have no proof of their existence, but still believe they exist, just like you.

L. Ron Hubbard claimed to be inspired by Scientology "gods" when he wrote down his Scientology manifesto, just like the writers of your Bible.

Scientologists believe they have to have faith in Scientology, just like Christians.

Many Scientology believers think that if they firmly believe and practice good Scientology they will be rewarded, just like many Christians do. And just look at Tom Cruise, he's done pretty well.

So how are Scientologists any different from you?

Isn't the only distinction simply that you believe you're right and they're wrong?

Actually, they believe the same thing about you, that they're right and you're wrong, so there's really no difference at all is there?

I know the definition of Hallowed - "to render as sacred, to revere", and I know it is talking about God's name. But how does one render God's name as sacred, practically. What does it look like?

Do you think that being part of a strong, loving community is very important? Does your church provide that? How does having or not having strong, loving relationships affect YOUR faith?

I saw in an earlier answer someone say God DOES have emotions like us (hence the creating man in its image stuff)

If God does then how does it get its rocks off? Cos if God feels emotions the same as us, God must feel sexual emotions surely. But if God doesn't have a gender it couldn't have sexual emotions for another genderless deity because that would make God homosexual. And surely God wouldn't force itself upon someone.

Im confused......does God have no emotions, all emotions, or just some?

When walking the fine line of Life, some will stumble upon the realization of the mind-splitting paradox of the physical and the spiritual world.

And, within this realization it is conveyed that what our mind perceives as real, is merely a reflection of our own inner-self; and, that which we perceive to be outside of ourselves is really inside of ourselves.

With this realization, the question lies...
What more is needed, but to change our own mind fully/conclusively, if the drama of the outer is merely the drama of the inner?

(Sorry if this doesn't seem worded well, but somethings are hard to put into physical words. Thanks for listening...)

Since the wages of sin are death and everyone sins, then death is imminent for all. It's also said that the body is a temple that should be treated as such. If we sin and/or consume things that damage the body, is the behavior a slow suicide since the end result will be death? Presuming the answer to be "yes" then what is the difference between a deliberate act of suicide and the death that results from our normal sinful behavior? Sin is sin and death is death; I would argue that there is no difference.

If a scientist says it or if they read it in a science book do they automatically assume it is completely correct?

Scientist just figured out that the way they thought dinosaurs walked was completely wrong! With all the bones and evidence around they missed that. That means all those pictures of Dino's in science books were wrong. If they made that mistake isn't it possible many other mistakes have been made?

Does he merely overlook sin? Do two rights cover one wrong?
Can a sinful man work his own way to perfection? Does Allah owe his creation salvation if they earn it? Is this righteous? If a man does a a sin can he ever make it go away? Seems to be no matter how many so called good deeds you do if you commit a sin it does not go away and you reamain a sinner and for God to agree with your sin or overlook your sin he has become unrighteous calling an unclean thing clean. The true god does not overlook sin he said all have sinned and fallen short and the wages of sin is death. This is proved by the fact that man does die. God had a plan to bring man to his righteousness not overlook man's sin . This way was to pay the penalty of death for man. It is the reason Jesus said no man comes to the Father but through the Son, who did make the way for man to be joined to God.

Jesus and a very small group of people started the teachings for what would later become christianity.
It was only about 300-odd years later that christianity became a recognised religion in its own right and now has millions of followers all over the globe.
Do you think 500 years from now some obscure cults teachings could be seen as the "truth" and wipe out christianity altogether?
Also bear in mind that roman and egyptian gods were worshipped for much longer than the christian god and they are now seen as mythology.

AntiSemitism as Jew-Hate has been one of the ugly undercurrents( and even legal ,encouraged and overt in many times and places) in many cultures. What do you think? Where you are, is antisemitism getting worse? How can we personally help inshrinking the social illness that resulted in the Nazi Holocaust?

I am an atheist, but I don't discuss religion or politics at work. Yesterday, I was talking with this lady I work with, very nice, very religious lady. She was telling me, "_______, you are always so kind to me, I will be praying for you and your family. You and your husband are such a blessing to me. Your marriage inspires me. I will be praying for spiritual gifts for you. Now, don't smile, my prayers are heard."


I said "Thank you."

Was it horrible and wrong of me not to set her straight on my beliefs?

If so, is it possible that we should reexamine our moral code? A friend of mine suggested that it is not enough to know what we want, but that it would help if we knew why we wanted it as well.

Here's one I saw in the states - "Jesus is not the fire department - only called on in an emergency". Although not of this faith, I thought this was an excellent observation. (Jesus saves ....... Larsson gets the rebound... all over glasgow).

Tell us yours!
