I'm confused about what religion is best for me and my belief. I'm not big on churches or groups. But I would like to study a religion.

I just read an answer that since Harry Potter has religous context, wicca, it shouldn't be discussed in school.
I'm sorry...what??
There is not one SINGLE piece of wicca or paganism in those books. None. It's made up jigsaw latin and mythological monsters. That's it. There is magic, but it's not real magic. It about as real as David Copperfeild. Witches and Pagans don't do hocus pocus crap.
Do people out there REALLY think that Harry Potter is promoting Paganism? Because if you do, research please. Please!

PLEASE, MATURE ANSWERS ONLY!!!

What is your opinion on this?

Example:
Dang sounds like ____.

Shoot sounds like____.

Please dont fill in the blanks. You get the picture.

(If i stomp my toe, they might say "Shoot") or (If someone gets hit by a ball in the face, someone else my say "Daaaaaang")

Basically when we say these words out of an significant event that happened, it sounds like we are substituting curse words with a less graphic word to sound more innocent.

Fred Phelps says the people who died in the 9-11 attacks 'deserved' it because they are 'fag-enablers' (his words) while Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said God allowed the attacks to happen because of this country's supposed liberal attitude toward gays.

Why does the right always blame America first? Why not blame the terrorists?

I was hoping to do something simple - like a 30 minutes gathering around lunch time once or twice a month - hopefully more then just people who already believe will come so I wanted to keep subject matter light and uplifting
the first thing I thought of was discuss the parable of Jesus
any other suggestions would be helpful
thanks

why do they try to make money off of appearences and books and tapes? Jesus never did anything for monetary gain. One of the most popular ministers ask for $10,000 to come speak at a nearby retreat I go to here in NC. That is ridiculous! Why do they charge that fee if there message is going to help someone grow in faith?

why do so many monotheistic nations argue and go to war over this issue? if group a believes in a higher power who created everything and group b believes in a higher power who created everything, should it matter what we call this higher power? isn't it likely that if there is a god both groups are worshipping the same god? and if it is the same god, why hasn't he stepped in and done something about it, not so much physically stopping the people, which would take away their free will, but just revealing himself to all these believers and saying, "hey, you all are fighting over the same god!!! please stop!!!"

.........not someone that COULD be Jesus, but someone who is, beyond doubt, Jesus?

In R&S we spend a lot of time trying to define the life force that animates all living things and the origen of all matter. We pretend to be some athority on the universe and try to back it up with reason. Can it be that we are all in some way worshiping our perception of reality? I think it is sort of funny.

When a read it I notice a tone. Just curious.

Also, why does it regurgitate Bible statements an exhausting number of times? "to allah belongs all that is in the earh and the heavens"......over and over.....The Bible already has established that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," it is implied that these things belong to him. I've notice this.

I used to get upset over it, but I realize everyone is entitled to their views and not to take it too seriously. I still pray for them verse attack them back. How do you feel though when someone belittles your beliefs? How do you handle it?

John 3:16 " For God So Loved You, that He gave his one and only son Jesus that if you believe in him you shall not parish but have eternal life"! 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

John 14:6
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Mathew 7:7-8

7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

We were having a discussion last night. I was raised catholic, not longer practice, but know a few devout catholics. One woman I know lost a leg in a car accident. To put it bluntly , it is on ice at the hospital morgue and has been for 25 years. When she dies the leg is to be buried with her. She says because it is part of the body that god gave her and she is going to heaven with all those parts. I know another catholic woman that has saved all her placenta's and umbilical cords from childbirth, honest they are in jars of famaldahide. Now , my question. If a catholic donates his eyes to science, will 'god' shun them at the pearly gates or will they be let in to walk around blind or eyeless in heaven for all eternity?

questions? Used to be only a few times a day, now I can't open this section without seeing at least four.

Is that question really getting rid of anyone?

Having grown up a catholic, I've experienced this first hand.

It took many years of peeling back the layers of the onion before I could finally view existence free from the pressure of religious dogma.

Once catholism and organised religion were discarded, the yoke of christianity itself was a burden to seeing a clear picture.

When I realised there was no evidence for Jesus existing at all, and certainly no sense to concept of him being the son of god, I then had to deal with the whole creator bit.

I studied many different faiths looking for something that made sense.

After a few years as an agnostic with pantheist style ideas, it suddenly dawned on me that it was ALL nonsense.

No soul, no afterlife, no supreme entity of any sort.

The barriers were finally all gone!

None of them had ever made sense, yet they were so hard to remove.

The sense of freedom was just magnificent..........and still is.

Do theists have any idea what they're missing?
