Religion & Spirituality - 28 April 2007

[Selected]: All categories Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

...then why not come to church and find out for yourself? There are friendly Christian congregations almost everywhere!

Church is not about judging people; it’s about worshipping God and learning to love one another. We all sin, so no one is "better" than anyone else. But by God's amazing love, proven in Jesus' death and resurrection for our sake, anyone can be forgiven, cleansed, and healed.

A church fellowship is also about building strong communities, connecting with neighbors, and making new friends. In addition to regular Saturday or Sunday worship and children's programs, most churches offer extra worship services, Bible-study groups, community service, volunteer opportunities, outreach programs, coffee-and-chat groups, and other activities throughout the week.

Think church isn't for you? Remember, to gain the real treasures--peace, joy, freedom, happiness, fulfillment, and eternal life--we must go where they can be found, and seek them diligently and persistently.

So, my QUESTION is:
Won't you join us in worship this week, and learn the truth for yourself? We’ll be delighted to see you, of course, but most importantly, you’ll be pleasing Someone who already knows and loves you!

This question isn't SPAM, by the way. I don't care which church you choose, and I have no personal interest in your decision. God bless you!

No rude or disrespectful replies, please. Thanks.

i mean literaly, if i started a catholic church offshoot and only charged
8% tithing with the idea that it would draw more worshipers to my parish, would that be ok with god.

or could we have like new member deals, like tithing same as cash for the first 90 days.

or begin to accept credit and gift cards, you know just swipe it at the door?

i think that food stamps would be taking it a little far. poor people should have to go buy the food first and then bring it to us, that way we (the church) cannot get in trouble for accepting food stamps.

Speaking about religion, the Sufi mystic Rumi once said, "The lamps are many, but the light is One."

Do you think this is true? Why?

Aren't the beliefs of non Christians just as valid as those of Christians? This question is a perfect example. Links right there:

I am supose to summarize this catechism passage but I need alittle help understanding it. SO please help me!!!

Fornication is carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of persons and of human sexuality which is naturally ordered to the good of spouses and the generation and education of children. Moreover, it is a grave scandal when there is corruption of the young

I can't stand either one. I'm just a regular Joe. I believe in God and Christ but from the time I was 12 these fundamentalists completely give me the willies. Now they want a nuclear war over israel because they think the israeli government is the israel of the Bible,plus if it blows,Christ has to come back blah blah blah. And to think you can't get elected president without the Bible Belt. Meanwhile you have all these totally driven atheists who want to attack everybody's beliefs for apparently no reason other than they can't stand anybody having religious beliefs. What they both have in common is a desire to regulate your beliefs,positively or negatively. Require school prayer. Ban school prayer. Why not just leave it up to the people,you know,good ole self-determination? Any idiot can see that urban areas are way too multicultural for school prayer; but how about a town of 200 in Nebraska? They both seem equally intolerant and I despise both utterly. I say,regulate them to space.

with all of the "united states was founded on christian values"
questions and answers that i see i have to ask.

do these people even have values.

their most quoted part of the Bible is Leviticus, which they ignore half of and use the other half to cater to their own bigotry/phobias.
they ignore anything that would effect their way of life yet demand that others follow the parts that they feel are relevant.

they make claims that are totaly irrevelant to the world today. instead, focusing on what might have been believed by somebody over 200 years ago.

and if you go beyond that and read the O.T. the god described makes Freddy Krueger look like a nice guy.

then some guy (Jesus) comes along to tell people of a peacful god, and is killed for it.

50 years after his death people start writeing about him

and these people claim that these writeings are the exact word of god?

what is wrong with this picture, or is it a Picasso? beauty in chaos or something?

Most of my class is off at camp. I may have one student tomorrow. I'm not sure what to do yet.

I'm going through Proverbs normally, but I should do something else because the rest of my class will be back next week.

Any suggestions?

I understand that the concept of not believing in God is strange to some Christians. And that God, to them, is as factual as the air we breath. Furthermore, I get that all of you are trying to save us, and that you're trying to convert people to your religion because, in your mind it's the right thing to do. I get it, I really do.

However, why do some Christians get so riled up and furious over atheists? Claiming we're not American, and we can only see through science, and we're "blind fools" and so on? I've always trying my hardest to be tolerant of everybody's religion, and though I'll state my views and maybe tease, I've never directly insulted someone's religion (or a person for believing in a certain religion).

What I'm basically trying to say is, why do some Christians think atheists are so horrible?
