Religion & Spirituality - 25 May 2007

While sitting in a chair, (which you are probably doing)
Lift your right leg and rotate your foot clockwise. Just make a circle with your foot.
Do this for a few seconds, then with your finger, draw the number 6 with your finger in the air.
Your foot will automatically switch to counterclockwise.
What is with this?
Can anyone tell me scientifically or otherwise?

Are by far the most disrespectful,most intolerant and the most absurd miserable people you have ever heard of.
They are so insecure about themselves and the life they live that the only relief that they can find is to cowardly bash and mock others and who also slanderize others' doctrines of whom they spitefully and foolishly disagree with.
Some of them if not most non-believers thinks that just because they don't believe in God that they have all of the answers when in reality they don't even have a lick of sense to know the differance between right and wrong.
They are always accusing Christians of being judgmental and yet day after day they get on the internet and do the exact same thing to them of which they accuse Christians of doing.
Yes,you can dismiss this as a rant and move on but before you go lashing out against Christians and other religious people take a look at your own self and clean up your own mess before you go criticizing someone else about theirs.

When many non-Christians are asked whether they think everyone who is not a Christian is going to burn in hell, considering that more than half of the people in the world are not Christians, they respond by saying things like, “We cannot know how God will judge them” and “only God can judge he who has not given himself to Christ.” But a few minutes later, when someone asks a question and says that Allah is the only true God, Christians tell them that they are going to hell. So do we know or do we not know who is going to hell? I’m pretty sure that, at least some parts of the Bible say that non-Christians will go to hell. You would think this would make it a simple question/answer. However, the problem is that Christians, like non-Christians, have a conscience. They know, at least in the back of their mind, that only a Hitler-like God would cause someone to burn in hell even if they had been a good person, but had picked the wrong God to worship. Unfortunately, the Bible says that non-Christians will burn in hell. So Christians give a vague, plead the 5th answer. Christianity demands that the human forgo reason and empathy for their fellow human being and think like a robot. The problem is that the human spirit is often too powerful to be overtaken by religious programming. This results in the inconsistencies often shown by Christians.

Let me explain.

Mrs. Mauldin says that God told her to not unpack the boxes when she was moving into a new home, because she would be moving again.

Her husband also says that God told him they should move.

If you listen to Mrs. Mauldin, she sounds like someone who believes herself to be truly guided by God, and humbly listening to his voice.

But then once they were in the new place, Mr. Mauldin tortured their 2-month old baby, by, among other things, putting the poor child in a microwave!

Now, obviously, the mother's life is all messed up.

What is going on here?

Have you ever had any turn down help from you based on your looks?

My husband and I (very biker looking) stopped to help a lady broken down on the road, went bought gas for her and put it in for her... She was so afraid of us, she sped off with not a thank you or even waiting for her gas cap...

She didn't ask about our religion she just saw the cover to the book.

Leibniz, Pascal, Descartes, Berkeley, Boyle, Newton, Kepler, Spinoza, Faraday, Maxwell...do you think they were idiots, do you ever question your "beleifs"?...is it perhaps because you cannot see the whole and are stuck on the surface.

The concept of GOD needing to come in human form is so foreign to the Abrahamic message.

The GOD who makes every electron spin is not in need of what we need....

We do not comprehend his awesome power.....

Thinking of him as a Man is the ultimate injustice to the universal need to understand his true greatness. The one who created and sustains the GALAXIES.

Some one has recently asked me how to read the Bible as true history rather then as a fictional book. It was hard for me to answer since I have always thought of the Bible as truth. Any ideas?

Everyone is always shooting for 200 or 300 answers. I have a more modest goal... Two answers!

If I attain my goal, it means my God is real and yours isn't.

The First Commandment forbids the worship of false gods. While we in this day and age don't have too much actual outright idol worship, this commandment is frequently broken by those who set up anything as being more important than God. Money, material things, worldly pursuits. I've noticed that some actually use the human intellect as a benchmark as to a person's ultimate worth, and as the sole method of determining what is right or wrong. I've always considered one person who has a simple and childlike faith in God, someone who is not an intellectual (Mother Teresa for example), to be the better of one hundred PhD's with a genius IQ, but no spirituality, or belief in anything other than the human intellect.

Relying solely on the flawed and imperfect human intellect alone will result in moral relativism - no absolute good or evil, which eventually leads to rationalization of some very terrible acts - ie world history since "the Enlightenment" of the 1700's

What do you think??

All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.

Do these verses mean that God will reveal himself to those who are truly seeking him in the person of Jesus Christ?

that would mean that god was unable to communicate his laws to us in a way that we could all agree upon.
Unless you want to argue that god is intentionally ambiguous?

the fact that you dont like something does not mean it is absent...the fact that a "non-believer" will place blame on a force that they think is "bad" makes them more religious than any Christian i have ever met.....(please back far away from the atheists before they try to CONVERT YOU!!!!!)

I just read some answer that said "God bless the Military!".

Can anybody explain to me how that works? Let's take the war in Iraq as an example.

Does God pick a favorite army? Or individual soldiers? Would He let an American atheist soldier shoot an Iraqi Muslim, or an Iraqi atheist soldier shoot an American Christian soldier?

Or does he just choose the complete army with the most religious soldiers in it?

Seriously, I don't understand. How does God bless a Military?
