Religion & Spirituality - 10 June 2007

I’m referring to the dumb and dumber videos on youtube, otherwise known as Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort; they claim that it is no coincidence that the banana is a perfect fit in the human hand, it has a pop top and is angled to make it easier for us to eat it. I’m laughing as I type this because it’s so freakin stupid! Why don’t they realize that the modern banana is the product of thousands of years of human agriculture? Just like sheep and cattle don’t look anything like their wild ancestors.

I have faith that Jesus was not God. Just like I have faith that David Koresh was not God (or we're all in trouble).

I also have faith that Christians will feel sorry for me because I have faith in something besides some dude that walked the earth 2000 years ago.

P.S. I don't need or want your pitty.

I know I've heard it and now I've been asked to supply scripture proof of where it says that Jesus is coming in the Eastern sky.

oh, and by the way, go to myspace.com/stevelotto and you'll hear a song by Disciple called Going Home. In its chorus, you'll hear him say, "I've seen Jesus comin' in the Eastern sky, and I'm going home." such a tight song, you gotta listen to it with headphones or some tight system to get the bass guitar solos in there.

Thanks guys.

We are trying to abide by our belief and faith. There are obnoxious exceptions to the rule, but most of us just want to get along with the rest of you. Why can't you accept that and give us the benefit of the doubt. If a Christian bashes you then you have a reason to be upset. If a Christian asks a valid question - be nice or don't bother answering the flippin question.

What drives the incredible denial and ignorance behind those who embrace the creationist perspective..?

Those who have studied mainstream scientific principles and understandings of the natural world can see things so clearly, yet creationists WILL NOT see the evidence, and WILL NOT consider their creationist claims are at complete odds with many millions of hours of research, gathered evidence and data..

This is taken further when fabricated or "psuedo" science is offered in place of any mainstream science that they consider contradictory to their imaginary beliefs.

The free and easy access to the agendaless, altruistic, and ever increasing body of knowledge of the natural world is undeniable.. Yet they WILL NOT see it, never mind try to comprehend it..

Who has an informed and honest opinion of "why" people do this in the modern western world..?

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.*

Let me just start out by saying that I am an atheist, but I mean no disrespect. I really want to know what you think, so here goes...

Here are the two sides of the paradox:

1)God is all knowing and has determined everything from the beginning. He has made everything happen the way it does for the greater good. It is not for us to understand the plan.
This doesn't sit very well with me because any plan that involves genocide, natural disasters, and rapists seems like it comes from a pretty sick mind. Also, in that case, why fight abortion? Isn't that part of the plan, too? What's the point of praying if the outcome is preset?

2)Human beings have free will. Some of them are therefor influenced by Satan. God punishes sinners with earthly suffering and hell.
Aside from the fact that this is directly opposite, there are other logical errors: If Satan has any power then how can God be all powerful? Do Satan and evil men cause hurricanes? God allows evil free reign on Earth?

Why being so mean!
I have seen answers that leaves me speechless.

Just because you do not agree with other religions you don't have to talk about them as if they were evil or something. It isn't right to judge people and desire if someone is going to hell or heaven, God is the only one that can judge each one of us. Remember that the Bible says that he will judge us the way we judge.

I have seen very mean things about Mormons (I'm mormon) and people say things about Mormonism as if we were evil or something. Do mormons harm anyone? I also want to speak for the other religions that I have seen attacked here. It's not only about Mormonism, it is for all religions.
Aren't we all supposed to follow Jesus' example and love and respect each other?
I know without a doubt that my church is true, but I also believe that we all (believers from all religion) search for the same God in a different way but they all do. So why fighting? By searching for God aren't we supposed to b peace

My mother had a secret for many years in the past that now she told me. She went to a spiritual consultant, and she told her many things about her past and what will happen on her future. One of the questions the consultant ask her if she have a son interested on going into the military, but she was not sure or couldn't recognize if it was me or my two older brothers. my mother said that there at that moment was no evidence of such decisions on me or my two big brothers. The consultant said that sees a son of my mother that will enlist into the Navy without her concern or being notify, but was not to be worried because he is going to be well and have lots of great opportunities. My mother was also told what profession he was going to be working. I just graduated from high school and i was the son.

Sure ya do! It's a gift where you don't have to live eternity in suffering at the hand of His dad!

Nice gift huh? Does it remind you a little bit of Tony Soprano?

"Hey! I got a deal for ya! If you take this free gift, my family member don't have to hurt ya...capice?"

So, do most "gifts" come with strings attached that "if you don't accept my gift, I'll have to hurt you." Doesn't it sound like a threat more than a gift?

Another one I’ve seen is that if an archeologist finds a piece of pottery in the ground and determines that it’s thousands of years old then this somehow proves that the universe has a creator and of course that creator is the Christian god because all other gods are just plain ridiculous. I just don’t get. All this proves to me is that a thousand years ago, some guy made a piece of pottery. End of story. Am I missing something?
