Religion & Spirituality - 20 May 2007

i constantly hear christians ramble about rainbows and ponies whenever a ask a down to earth, realistic question. There is a group of christians who are so far removed from reality, they dont even think anymore, they just invent the prettiest sounding sentace possible, at the expense of realism, coherencey and intelligence.

does anyone even know what i am talking about?

I just found out this morning at church that one of the dear ladies in our church has gone Home to be with the Lord. And it hurts! I know she's with the Lord and no longer suffering. So I grieve by writing a poem and pouring out my feelings in a poem/prayer...and that helps me to grieve and be able to move on. (Thanks for letting me share with you)

Helen my friend, you not in your place,
It seems so empty without you there.
Your hands always cold....but you
Truly had a warm heart of love.
Your suffering is done,
You're home with in the Father's arms.
I'll see you one day when I join you there.
Till that day, rejoice my friend
You are Home now forevermore.

How about you? How do you grieve for a loved one and does it help?

Terrorism is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- OR THREATENED USE OF-- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."

Christianity says that you must follow the bible, or you will BURN IN HELL. By the FBI's definition, this is TERRORISM.

How about "I've just been weeding my yard! Have YOU all just been sitting on the computer and don't you feel bad?"

Gosh, sometimes I miss being a fundie!

Most know me by the name "adreamer2"... I have gone by this name for about 18 years, because i interpret dreams. But, because i am above no one, I am adreamer too.... and thus the name.

yet, i could not attain the name here, so, i go by my name.

But, why do you call yourself by that name that you call yourself....??


Your sister,
ginger

Weather your christian,muslim,buhddist,atheist or whatever;why do you believe what you do?

Me:
1.Before I was even saved,I had an experience wirth God,that I dont think I'll ever forget,unless I get amnesia or something

2.I got saved at age 12&can honestly&truthfully say I've experienced the real presence&power of God.

3.Not only am I a real miracle myself(age 2 doctors told my parents there was a good chance I would die or be a vegatable at best;but I'm obviously here today),but I've actually seen real miracles&blessings&have done a few myself.I would be a fool to deny I dont know God is real,cuase I've seen,experienced&done enough to know that He is real.

Now what about everyone else,whatever your faith or lack of faith,why do you believe what you do?

When something terrible happens, it is the fault of the devil winning inside us.

When something wonderful happens, it is because God is a few points ahead.

Doesn't it feel a bit empty to continually play this game rather than giving oneself credit for all that is good and recognizing what is morally right and wrong within your own hearts. Does God have to give that to you?

the slaying of dragons?

note - In order for the Catholic faith to recognize someone as a Saint they are supposed to preform three miracles and die a martyr's death. Mother Teresa only performed two and died of old age, why is she a saint?

Did Jesus teach you to meet any criticism of your church or your christianity with accusations of hatred and bigotry?

I am an atheist who does not wish to tolerate christianity, and hypocritical chrstians start crying whenever i say that. most christianity in my opinion is a plague that should be quarintined. it promotes -->

-Predjudice: every where i look, the bible teaches racism against people who in no way deserve it. what did gays do to deserve this? not being able to get married is not the only thing, if you look at news reports from the south (mostly) alot of christians inc. the KKK kill gay people, in gods name.

-Arrogance : this whole "we are going to heaven and every one else will burn in hell forever" mentality is the root of this. almost every christian i have debated religion with holds their nose up and is totally snobby and defensive (most).

-Close Mindedness : it goes without saying, you cant even question your beliefs and its a sin. beliefs that have been fed to you since you were a child.

i am confused, it seems that you all think that sex is a bad thing, a sin, even, - i realise we are each entitled to our own opinions and beliefs - and mine is i think God made sex feel good, because it is a good thing. it is a gift.
maybe i am wrong and you guys all like sex to - hmmmm ????

(please do not be offended if i am wrong in my assumption that the answers i have read are not from Amercian Christians...it is an assumption only, due to the language use )

People as humans, need guidance and rules to keep a society civil. What would you suggest? Would a radical change like that make the world communist, or would we all be selfless, lifeless and basically robots? Your thoughts?
