Religion & Spirituality - 23 May 2007

I know that people claim their religion or god is the greatest, but the one thing you always hear is the fear, fear, fear, you will die & burn for sins or wrongs that you do.

Then they turn around and tell you that wrongs are not your fault because you cannot be perfect no matter how hard you try. In fact, that is impossible to live a life without doing wrongs.

Rather than trying to help people overcome their wrongs, they are far more content to destroy anyone who has done the slightest "wrong", while totally ignoring any wrong in their life.

Religion is all based on fear, & fear is a religion of control.

Has religion anything to offer besides fear?

what would you do with your life differently if you knew 10 yrs was all that was left, would you worry about your relationship with God and his purpose for your life, would your worry about your soul...how about those close to you? would you ask God into your heart now and let Him into your life

Ever told someone who's parent died that "they're in heaven" when you really believe they're not? Or even that "they're in a better place"?

If you're an athiest, what is it that you tell people?

ever told someone that their dead relative is in hell? I mean, really... why sugar coat it?
btw... I did once... lol

I just started explorign the wonderful Earth based world of Wicca and am loving it.

I understand a book of shadows is for spells, rituals, god/desses, herbs, oils, animals, nature, the moon, and so on.

And you can use your book fo shadows as a dream journal or just a learning journal.

Is there anything else to include in it?

How often should you write in it? Once a day? week? Month? or whenever you please? More foten then the above?

When shoudl you start it? I have one, but a friend told me to sudy wicca first and start it within a year or so? Is this good advice?

The last time I attended church was seriously over 8 years ago roughly. I decided to go visit my friends church because I have become lazy, unmotivated, and jaded with life. Pretty much I live without any purpose and became a drone. Well when I visited my friends church.my shoulders were tense, my neck hurt, and I felt like I was physically sick. Also I was surpirised because the sermon that was given had no affect on me emotionally. I believe I have become extremely calloused and blackened of the heart. What is wrong?

Both of these man-made religions are dangerous tools that quote scripture from time to time when it's convenient. What many don't understand is that satan can do more with these groups than atheists. They are very broad in their beliefs.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matt 7:13 (KJV)

Jesus clearly explains here that many people will go the broad route (yes, the word of God says that, but- ). This is clearly not a path to salvation. One big mistake- trusting man. People actually bow to the Pope, and Jehovah Witnesses warn against paganism like Christmas- but they were created by a pagan- Charles Taze Russell, a high-ranking secret society member in a satanic cult.

Catholics seek to communicate with the dead, and posses and incorporate graven art into the religion.

Jehovah Witnesses quote Jesus but deny Him as the son of God and the true path to salvation.

Everything is dust in the wind.

My beloved grandmom died when I was 18.

Here is my mother"s old photograph when she was about 20 not married ,she was hugging a lamb ,her smiling face was so pure and pretty.

She was a country girl.

Now her hair is gray, her thick wrinkles on her face give me heartache.

She is gonna die like my gandma did.

My eyes are wet now.

Surely I feel everything is dust in the wind.

See the maginificent but wounded pyramaids in Egypt.

They are going to perish also as dusts in desert.
Its only matter of time,

Ironically ,I feel free cuz nothing s gonna last forever.

But Why? Why we are here living these fragile and temporary lives?

and why I have to feel deep sadness over my mom"s old photograph?

It's almost unbelievable! But it was also prophesied. Religion is man-made, true christianity is God-made. There are so many that will agree with scripture until it doesn't line up with their church.

I am well aware that there are a few that will actually believe in the scriptures. But very few.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matt 7:13-14 (KJV)

peace and blessings

But if I dont then there arises another big question i.e if suppose if someone kills 4 people and u cant punish him four times, or someone lives a luxurious life and someone dies of hunger, so the norms of justice can not be met unless and until there is a life after death, i need yours valuable comments.

Does anyone know the Bible Verse that goes something like

having sex for any other reason except procreation is a sin?

I was having a discussion and I mentioned that if you had sex with your spouse just to have sex it is a sin because you are only suppose to have sex to procreate, and this person said that even though he had read the Bible extensively he had never read that and thought I was a bit crazy!!!

Can anyone please tell me? Am I wrong? Or is there a verse something like that in the Bible? If there is then could you please also tell me where it is so I can pass it on?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank You!

I am pretty tired of hearing it ALL the time, that we are brainwashed into our beliefs etc...do you think you have been?

I know I was not, I made the choice to believe when I was 20, and never was raised with any religion, so I made a personal choice.

How about you?
