Religion & Spirituality - 19 June 2007

The holiness Christian faith believes women not are not to wear make up, style or cut their hair, must wear long dresses and keep their arms and legs covered. However other women from other Christian faiths dress much more liberal. Some wear tight pants to church with lots of cleavage showing. Some women will show their belly and the old tatoe on the back just above their butt when they are at church. I guess my question is this...in dressing should a man or woman dress extremely conservate or as a Christian woman can you just dress any way you please and just say "it isn't my fault those men were looking at my butt and boobs at church service"?

I myself believe in an inbetween. Not too conservative but not revealing to the point that it makes a man gauk at you.

OH YEAH...I just gotta make sure everybody understand I am just talking about how they dress while they attend Church services. I won't even ask how you feel about how to dress in everyday life.

I've noticed in some places that it is not considered a bad thing to 'put down' a Pagan or Athiest for their beliefs, but anyone who insults a Christian could get reported or have conversion attempts.
Why is that?

How can you claim there is an invisible spirit (soul) living inside you if you have no evidence? In fact, it seems that scientific evidence would not support this idea:

"People naturally believe in the Ghost in the Machine: that we have bodies made of matter and spirits made of an ethereal something. Yes, people acknowledge that the brain is involved in mental life. But they still think of it as a pocket PC for the soul, managing information at the behest of a ghostly user.

Modern neuroscience has shown that there is no user. "The soul" is, in fact, the information-processing activity of the brain."

Wrong. I have the freedom from religion. If someone wants to save me, then they should get to know me first. I am not a cheap whore who goes with whoever has the best offer. I am a person who has thought everything through and have my reasons for not believing in Christianity. If you want to "save" me, you should, at the very least, know a bit more about me before you start preaching and condemning. As it is, Christians just get mad and take their toys and go home when challenged. That proves that they really are only about scoring the point - not about me or any other person they wish to save in the least.

My new rule - if you are gonna start trying to save me before you actually know me, then I charge $100.00 per hour.

I am not trying to be an a$$hole, but am trying to make sure Christians understand how offensive their words and actions can be.
Queen put it very well

Do you feel your beliefs have any influence on whether you do or not?

This is just one example----I had to borrow it from another post since I don't own a bible and don't plan on getting one any time soon.


Leviticus 20:13.

"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

And then there's the whole----If your wife isn't a virgin you should stone her, etc, etc.

If you believe in the bible aren't you commanded to live the laws of the bible? If you believe it, do you believe every word of it or just what is convenient to believe?

Luke 12:33
"Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys."


In Luke 12:33 Jesus is not speaking to a young man, It is in Mark 10:21 that he is speaking to him. Read the context of Luke chapter 12.

Here is the spot where Jesus is speaking to a young man: Mark 10:21

21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Do you know any Christian denominations that believe that Christians should sell all their possessins? Please name them.

thanks

thousands of people. That is not my question.

My question is who cleaned the fish? Also I would like to know if the fish were cooked or if our Savior treated everyone to sushi. Thanks! :)

As you do evolution?
Evolution is actually far less threatening that quantum physics to those who believe in an all-knowing God.
Or perhaps....you only oppose that which your pastor points at? And evolution is more politically feasible an issue?

Every thought and emotion you have is controlled by your brain. There is no separate entity or "spirit" inhabiting your body. Why do you still believe there is, when it has been proven there is not?

I asked if god can be proved. the main defense was that he couldnt be disproved.

btw im pretty sure that we dont even have to disprove adam and eve, and noahs flood. thats just obvious.

but the whole DIS-proving... so, if what youre saying is, i cant DIS-prove god, he must be real?

well if you cant disprove the flying spaghetti monster... he must be real as well!

or bhudism... or islam... is hinduism... or judaism...or

hey, how about evolution, because it actually has been proven, and cannot be disproved as well.
