So Hollywood is all about Scientology now. Why? I personally think it's a waste of people's time. I mean it reminds me of a folk tale, nothing real or sound. So why would people be so eager to believe this myth? God is who they should spend their time with. God is the one who is real and who is here for them, why would people try to focus on a religion that is so weird. I don't understand why people would turn God down, what is it about people that makes them second guess a God who's real and loves them, but will run and believe some crazy made up religion???

Your own religions permit it? No religious scripture of the three scriptures of Christians, Jews and Hindus stop from polygamy.
In earlier times, Christians were permitted to have as many wives as they wished, since the Bible puts no restriction to the number of wives. It was only a few centuries ago the Church restricted the number of wives to one.
Polygamy is permitted in Judaism. According to Talmudic law, Abraham had three wives, Solomon had hundreds of wives. The practice of polygamy was continued until Rabbi Gershom ben Yehudah issued an edict against it.
Earlier, there was no restriction on the Hindu men in respect to the number of wives. It was only in 1954, when the Hindu Marriage Act was passed that it became illegal for a Hindu to have more than one wife. Many Hindu religious personalities,according to their scriptures, had multiple wives. Krishna had several wives while King Dashrat (Father of Rama) had more than one wife.
So none of the holy books stop you from polygamy.

Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Or any other religion, for that matter. Not to support generalizations, but is there something that definitely separates them from non-religious psychologists and counselors apart from personal beliefs?

Do they try to solve problems by using God? If they need degrees in the subject to have the job, I don't see how this could be... but I might be wrong.

why do you confess to a human,why don't you just confess to god and ask his forgiveness directly?

Surely the qualification for being a scientist is that you only come to conclusions if there is evidence for an assumption. Also, religions spout loads of stuff that contravenes natural laws, like a man living in a whale and a woman concieving without having it off. Isnt it true that people who believe this can only be half-scientists?

The assignment is to take a particular religious tradition and describe the relationship within it between the official and popular faith. Basically to compare the old-fashioned, formal method of a tradition to the more common, everyday method. Any ideas on what tradition? It can be any faith. Thank you!

We used to talk about asking Jesus to be the Lord of your life, but now lordship isn't understood like it used to be....Would you ask people if Jesus is the CEO of their life?

... to spend 363 (and a quarter) days of each year critising Christian belief, then use our holy days to overeat, get presents, and blather on about men in red suits and bunnies with buckets of chocolate?
If you believe then celebrate. If you don't believe you can still celebrate.... But why do some people celebrate the birth and the resurrection of Jesus when they spend the rest of the year calling it all "fairytales"?

I know what i believe, and that wont ever change... i'm just curious. I've read up on other religions and all have the same basic principles ..... some form of sin or wrongdoing, some form of a need for redemption, attrition, or restitution for offenses, and all have a form of what is 'heaven' or 'eternity' per that particular religion. I am under the assumption/impression that mine is the most practical and logical, but i dont despise the beliefs of others.
I'm just curious..... which one do you think, is the most logical? As in, not fruity and nutty in theory or practical application of its core belief system.... but, it just makes sense?

I often see this as a qualifying statement in many answers. "A 'true' Christian does this or that, or believes this or that". It seems as if there are Christians, and "true" Christians. I have even seen contradicting answers, with each claiming to be a "true" Christian. It is confusing. Aren't ALL Christians followers of Christ? If this is true, then how can there be "untrue" Christians?

Sahih Muslim
Book 004, Number 2127
Why is it, O 'A'isha, that you are out of breath? I said: There is nothing. He said: Tell me or the Subtle and the Aware would inform me. I said: Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransom for you, and then I told him (the whole story). He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain...

What conclusions do you from from this hadith?

According to the Bible (tracing the genealogy back to Adam and Eve) humans have been on earth for around 6,000 years.

Lets be nice and say 10,000 years in case Moses forgot a few people ;)

How do you explain the HUMAN remains (bones, mummies, and fossils) that are 7,000 - 100,000 years old found all over the world?

(P.S. Also keep in mind death had not entered this world until AFTER Adam and Eve sinned.)
