Religion & Spirituality - 24 June 2007

Non-profit organziations are required to submit financial information to the states, but religious institutions are exempt from this requirement. Now with faith-based initiatives, churches get federal money. Should they be exempt from public scrutiny regarding how they get and use their money?

I came to this section a couple of hours ago and have been reading questions and looking at older questions. I am not defending religion but have noticed something from the Atheist that are here. Why are you only calling out christians, basically calling them foolish or ignorant for having a belief in a god and not calling out muslims, buddists etc. for also believing in a higher deity. Are you being P.C. or else why? I am not a christian or any other religion this is just something I have noticed since I visited this morning.

We had an arguement and he wanted to sleep in his truck and the mosquitos were so bad and it was so hot I just couldnt stand to see him out there. So because I wouldnt let him sleep he called the police and they came to our house in the country and because we live in such a small town it will be printed in the news paper this week, I wouldnt even go to church with him this morning I am so embarresed.

. . . . women from having abortions?

. . . . people from performing abortions?

. . . . men from insisting their women get abortions?

If it did, what would we do with the millions of babies being brought into homes that are potentially unloving homes?

If it didn't, what would we do with the number of criminals having, performing, or requesting abortions?

(Go with me on this "what if" ride, will you?)

I ask in R&S because I can.

I have been attracted to other woman since I was 12. I became a Christian when I was in my early 20's. I have desperately been trying to live a life pleasing to God, by not practicing ****-sexuality, even though I am very attracted to woman. I'm out to close friends who seem to accept me well enough, as long as I don't act on my same-sex attractions. Problem is most of my friends are married now and I find myself becoming very lonely and depessed. I want to follow God and do the right thing, but I am heading into my 40's alone, single and lonely. My friends are all busy with their familes. What should I do?

Undoubtedly,we all have heard a similar theme on "Stopping to smell the Roses" if we hear it too often,we may become dull of hearing...not often enough and we may miss out on it's message. It was written by a young girl with terminal cancer.... "Better slow down Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.
Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music Before the song is over

We know the Shake spear's play 'The Merchant of Venice' about a greedy Jewish creditor trying to exact a pound of flesh.
I am not here to say all Jews are bad or wrong. I personally believe there are good and bad people in every community. I am asking do they in general have this nature of greed and a stingy personality in them. I also see Israel today is blocking the humanitarian aid to general Palestinians and trying to exact pound of flesh for mistakes of their few Palestinian leaders.

by promotting ignorance and denying science?
Communist China will soon be the world's major power. They promote scientific study and surpass the U.S. in the number of engineers and scientist. By stifling scientific investigation will Christian fundamentalist cause a decline in U.S. world dominance and allow China to dominate the world?

www.fillingtheneed.com ... Any suggestions on how I can make the site more usable to the Christian community? Any ideas or comments ? Creating the Front end of a website is not my gift :)


The website gives members the ability to create a Christian web group (single mothers, going through divorce, addictions, etc)

Thanks for the help all and God Bless

According to science,it took billions of years for earth to be what it is today,even before any animals. So if we christians are to believe things were created in a flash,so to speak,who is right?

Well. As I am sure you all must have heard a lot about this...

masturbating


What do you guys think about this?

Theres so so so many people that do it...

Here are somethings people have said:

Quote:
Well, since I'm not a guy, I have nothing to "spill on the ground".

I doubt that much attention is paid - there are much bigger crimes going on out there in the world.



That was not Onan's sin. His sin was DISOBEDIENCE, and had nothing do do with masturbation, which was only incidental to the disobedience.

There is no reason to think that God would have any problem with masturbation. Nothing in the Bible indicates that.

God only gets mad when we disobey God. In the case where someone (bible person) spilt seed to prevent pregnancy, God specifically told someone to impregnate.


No, I don't think God is mad at all about any form of pleasure!


What do you guys think about it? I am catholic.


What will happen to you if it is a sin? Will your life be very bad? Will bad things happen?

If you have not, please, why will you not accept atheism into your brain? There is no other path to salvation from the wicked lies of religion. Let us only speak of what is falsifiable, in the sense of Popper.

concerning the rapture, mark of the beast 666, tribulation of 7 years etc. I am a christian. No lets say you see millions of christians disapear fromt his earth in a twinkling of an eye and the dead in christ rise from thier graves and you will see no more graves from the people that are christian or who were christian, and you also see a world dictator forcing you to take his mark 666, say it did happen(for your sake) would you then believe the truth instead of listing to a pack of lies from other people? Will you think that alliens have kidnapped us? Do not belive it, that means Jesus has come to take his own home with him to Heaven then returns at the battle Armegeddon when all nations surround Jeruselum. Once the christians have gone(not all christians) would you believe then and surrender to Jesus while you still have time during the tribulation. Because the bible makes it clear that many will be saved, infact mulitudes, praise God for that. And when you see a world dictator force
