Religion & Spirituality - 9 June 2007

[Selected]: All categories Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

I ate at Burger King for lunch today and saw a family pause to pray before digging in.

Growing up, grace before meals was for family dinners eaten at the home. My mother would single out one of us kids, or defer to a guest, to say grace. But if the same people who were at that meal were to eat out the following night, we wouldn't pray before eating - the subject wouldn't even come up.

Do you pray before every meal, or just under certain circumstances? What is the logic behind your decision? What was your religious upbringing?

I believe he told my biggest secret that I told him in confidence to his mistress.

Serious answers only, please. No comments like, "film him with a boy."

how many of you believe that everyone who doesn't believe in God is going to hell? and how many of you believe that God will accept people from all faiths as long as they live a good and honest life?

...as one Christian on Yahoo Answers recently claimed, does that mean God no longer sees homosexuality as a sin?

Could extreme nationalism be considered blasphemous?

Is there an argument to be found in the observation that pledging "allegiance" to a "flag" resembles idolatry? Yes, God told us to obey the laws of the land, but do not forget that we can change those laws, policies, and elected officials when they have been corrupted.

I mean, a government acts based on what is most beneficial for its citizens, usually in economic terms. But where some gain, others lose. When Jesus fed the hungry in the paradigm of the fishes and loaves, he wasn't being polite. He was teaching them to share.

The actions of Christ and the actions of the Federal Reserve do not coincide. Would it be a sin to condone an international trade policy that kept others in poverty? Is it folly to shed your beliefs at the ballot box?

I know there are people who go to church and they smile and speak to others, but the majority of people who are in church come in and leave with sour looks on their faces and won't return a smile. Why do they go to church if they are such self-centered and unhappy people?

I wonder how the word Christian has went from ascetic peace seeker to fear mongering Gonzalez and other Attny Generals who used their office to promote own views and discourage others

even more curious is how Fox News has become nothing more than state sponsored / corporate sponsored fear/hate of others, supposedly 'God fearing', supposedly "fair and ballanced" but really an entertainment and nothing about reporting facts just "talking points" that are prejudiced

I wonder if any Christians still support Bush as "their man of God" given his attrocious track record and decline of the standing of the US since his take over and promotion of wars, scandals and Faith Based Initiatives that failed in Texas but failed on a National Scale in White House

I had recently written in my 360 blog about going to the beach for the weekend with my husband for our anniversary. I got a message from a Christian who suggested a nice church in the area. I told them that I appreciated the gesture, but I don't think we are planning on attending another church while we are on vacation. I was promptly told that I shouldn't ignore God for the sake of a beach trip.

Although I do feel that church is important, God is everywhere and I don't feel that I have to be in a building at a structured service to worship him.

I had never heard this argument before. Is it wide-held amongst Christians, or is it just this person's views?

Do you seek out a church to attend when your family goes on vacation?

I don't think it is fair that individuals of a particular religion tell others with different beliefs to leave the forum. They say that this forum is for members of a certain mainstream religion only. I honestly find that childish!
This category is "Religion and Spirituality"...all people with religious beliefs and views on spirituality are welcome here, if they are willing to follow the guidelines Yahoo has set out.
I dont appreciate being told to leave because I dont belong to a particular mainstream religion!
Comments?

NOTE!! I'm NOT talking about people being told to leave for being rude (that I agree with), I'm talking about being told to leave for not being a certain religion.

Dont you think thats RUDE?

As christians do you believe that Deuteronomy & Leviticus are relevant? Do they apply to your religion? Why / Why not

The case law lesson of a blasphemer being stoned to death, and other applications of the death penalty (Leviticus 24:10-23), including anyone having "a familiar ghost or spirit", a child insulting its parents (Leviticus 20), and a special case for prostitution (burning them alive) (Leviticus 21)

The killing of homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13)

Don't wear clothes made of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19)

Don't cut your hair nor shave. (Leviticus 19:27)

Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. (Leviticus 20:9)

and the big one: Don't let cattle graze with other kinds of Cattle (Leviticus 19:19)

or

If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, kill them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)

If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and kill all of it's inhabitants (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)

No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.
