Religion & Spirituality - 3 May 2007

there are thousands of cases in which people have been miraculously healed by faith. How is that a bad thing? Faith encourages people to do good things and live happy fulfilling lives. Car accidents kill more people than anything else and the need for oil has caused countless deaths Certainly there are much worse things than religion Yet I don't see anyone out there boycotting driving.

I think that that question doesn't make sense. The thing they have in common is that they both explain something. They both explain the same thing. God answers Why & science answers How. My answer would be God AND science. Do you agree?

And I love God with all my heart, so why do you say I will burn in hell for calling Jesus God, instead of Jesus? I am not in a position to say who or what God is, nor did I ever shake hands with Jesus, so I can't say I know what he looked like either.
So why the hot place? or is this just Christian intolerence?

What did we do that was so wrong? We have "fallen short of the glory of God" . How ? I haven't done anything! I guess gods pissed because we're down here having sex and drinking and bla bla bla. If that's all it takes to make him mad then who needs him?

...you've been believing in the wrong god all this time?

With my previous two questions, I wasn't trying to say that the only two options were Christian or Atheist, because they're not. There are millions of religions out there and they all have an equal chance at being true.

So let's say you live your life as a Christian, you die, you get to the afterlife, and Krishna is sitting there giving you the stink eye and getting ready to send you back to earth as a cockroach for not being Hindu.

Can you admit that another religion may be right? Can you admit that we humans will just never know?

I am not here to convert anyone to anything, so relax and just talk to me. Most people who have mystical experiences are religous and view them through their religious beliefs. I am just wondering if anyone without a religion or a belief in God has had such experiences. If you have please describe it and if possible tell me what you think caused it. Thanks.

Who obviously don't believe in God and believe in an imaginary friend instead even on the spiritual/religion board? Let me just give you a little snip-it of why I'm here. 3 months ago I was healed through prayer healing. I was not incontrol of any of my muscles due to constant spasams and I couldn't even pick my 2 year old up or tie his shoes. During the prayer I stopped shaking and haven't shaken since. And after I asked my question about prayer healing wanting to help another loved one, and recieving a few wise acre comments the phone rang and what do you know I have been informed that there is a class on it at a near by church and a friend of mine wanted me to go with her. God is powerful and he hears all. He answers all even though we may not like the answer. It can't always be yes. I pray that the few of you on here that are afraid of not controling your life that you will find that with God you are not left with wanting. God provides all things.

When it has helped so many people recover from a life of sin and has even cured homosexuality. I use to drink a handle of Jack Daniels everyday but Jesus has saved my life and I have been sober for over 11 years.

Praise Him!

More than 10,000 clergy have signed a statement saying, in part,
"We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests." (Clergy Letter Project 2005)

In addition, many prominent Christians did not see evolution as any more threatening than biochemistry or dentistry or any other science. Among these are: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a paleontologist and RC priest. He believed that God guided evolution, distinguished theoretical biologist in the history of evolutionary thought and Christian conservative, Sir Fisher and social conservative Pope John Paul II.

Most who accept evolution science also believe in God. What makes it so hard for other Christians to do?

I've heard and read the use of the term "feel-good" as an insult. I just wonder, why would this be a bad thing, if a spirituality or political system or belief or activity made you feel good? It's as if they mean it's shallow. I simply don't get it. A lot of people have to work very hard for a little bit of feeling good.

What do you think?

Invariably when you ask a Christian, "Is it POSSIBLE that you're wrong about the existence of your God?", you'll almost never hear them admit that it's possible they're in error. They usually steadfastly deny the possibility that they're wrong.

Why is this? Do they not own a dictionary?

Are they too arrogant to admit what everyone else knows, that they're human?

Do they really think that their God would punish them simply for being honest rather than arrogant?

Why is it so hard for them to admit that they might be wrong?
