Religion & Spirituality - 5 June 2007

From the research I have done, I am really interested in Tibetan Buddhism. The closest Temple is about an hour away. I don’t know any other Tibetan Buddhists or anyone that would be willing to go with me. I really don’t even know what you do at a Temple. Does it matter if I go to a Tibetan Buddhist Temple apposed to an East Asian or other Temple? What do you do at the Temples? Any info would really help, thanks!

Of late, and I apologize for its being so late, I'm finding that not every Christian and not ever nonbeliever on this site is off his or her meds.

does religion's false promises, lies and deceptions have a purpose for humanity, besides bringing to someone attention that religion is worthless and can be avoided by Creating Your Relationship with Our Creator.

If you say you "don't like religion", a lot of Christians will actually reply "oh no, we dislike religion too -- we only believe in the Truth, because our belief is not a religion but the Truth! You like the Truth don't you?"

Anyone else noticed that?

, when you lie you have made yourself a thief because you stole the truth. Don't say you haven't because you have and you know it!

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21


He that curseth his father, or his mother [A rebellious son/daughter], shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 21:17

God is commanding people to kill the rebellious children who disobey the wishes of the parents in marriage, business etc.

John 10:30 --"I and the Father are one."

John 17:21-23--"that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (Jesus was speaking about his disciples in this prayer)

This is a follow up of my previous question. I just want to know why you people are so crabby? Why do you get all defensive?
I am gay myself, and I think it's Natural, but I don't tell people I was born this way. You are brought up this way.


1-What Causes a Person To Have a Particular Sexual Orientation?

Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors. In most people, sexual orientation is shaped at an early age. There is also considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality. In summary, it is important to recognize that there are probably many reasons for a person's sexual orientation and the reasons may be different for different people.

2-Sexual orientation emerges for most people in early adolescence without any prior sexual experience.

If you were presented with enough evidence to show that what you considered to be your sacred faith is not to be believed, is not the truth, that something else that you might not have really liked, is much closer to the truth, how far would you go to hang on to what you believe? Even if it's not true, even if you can't back it up with any sort of reputable and creditable evidence?

It's not something therapy can change, I know.
But saying they are born this way is an ignorant argument.
Psychology tells us otherwise.

I'm bothered by how a lot of people especially Christians disregard the importance modesty. Is it because Christianity is so tolerant nowadays trying to fit in the modern generation?

I see Christians going to Churches covering themselves up and wearing conservative clothes. Why? They say it's because their in the Church. They say it's to respect the house of god. They say it's to respect others who are in Church. They say it's to avoid impliying sexual tensions while praying to god. they say it's because their communicating with god. Sadly, when these kind of people are out of Church to the public, some strip their clothes and lose modesty attracting malicious attentions(SIN) and lust(SIN) just by simply showing the cleavage or wearing mini skirts.

If so, why should modesty be applied only fo reasons being in Church surrounded by fellow Christian believers. We should respect ourselves and others.God orders us to be humble, simple and not abusive of human bodies.

I'm asking this, because I have the feeling that when you call somebody else "Not a Real Christian" or "Not really a Christian", you automatically assume that to be the truth.
