Religion & Spirituality - 28 June 2007

this is my mentor and one of the most amazing men I have had the pleasure to meet
http://www.survivalafterdeath.org/researchers/roy.htm
I see so often Atheists argue that there is no proof for an after life and science has more to do with its time etc
yet there are so many scientists working in this field and discovering all sorts of evidence
you like your science ... but why do some of you pass by scientists that are discovering this type of evidence ?
are you as blind as the religious that you are so quick to put down at times ?

ggrr you all with your brains lol

with all the scientific evidence today, are all the religions still standing their ground on how the earth was created. will there ever be enough proof to even question the possiblity that they may have been wrong.

Seriously, what is God's purpose for us humans?
He one day decided to create Adam for??
What wrong did we humans do to suffer this earth?
Why must we humans suffer the sins we did not
do? Adam and Eve ate the apple not us?
So do you think it is ok if you must go to jail if your
father killed a person? No right? Why? Because your
father killed that person not you. So this theory where
we must bear on the sins of Adam and Eve is rediculous.
mckenziecalhoun i know you will reply. Please be

Is there anyone who can dare to tell the truth of this world without connecting with any religion, science, philosophy? I believe that there is the truth that is behind the physical substances and theories such as spirit of no physical properties like color which is the nature and spirit can create natural and even it can increase or decrease its size when it wants or needs. why do the scientists only try to find out the truth in the physical substances? why are they not ready to believe in the paraphysical elements like magic or ghost/spirit.i am sure that these little kids like scientists can never try to get the actual truth regarding them like the rubbish. do u know the truth? is there any scientist who is trying to discover the truth on paraphysical elements? (otherwise i will come up with the truth in this earth. i am 16 now and i am ready to disturb my study with no hesitancy to discover the truth, don't ask me why you do that.)

Remember, I said "should".

What do you think the message is in this quote?

"A Bedouin was standing in the mosque of the Prophet, and defiled it; when he was immediately taken hold of; and Muhammad said, "Let him alone, and throw a skin of water upon the spot; because ye were not created but of comforters and not sent to create hardships." And they let him alone till he had done, and then Muhammad called the Bedouin to him, and said, "This mosque is not a proper place for that, or any kind of filth; mosques are only for the mention of God, saying prayers, and reading the Quran.""

Fact - God may or may not exist. We don’t know.

That said, if belief is essentially about self assurance, about glorifying and appeasing a God and finally about getting into heaven, it seems to me that being ethical in your actions is simply chasing a reward (i.e. a happy God and decent afterlife) then actually doing the right thing because it is right.

Would it be better to remove God and heaven from our actions & simply live as we feel is right - because it is right? To not act like we are chasing an afterlife & instead work on this life and treat it as if it is our only chance, and to get more from it as a result for all of us?

I am not saying we should ban religion, ideas are a personal freedom and important to a lot of people - but that rather then putting our faith in a God that seems happy to leave us be in the mess we make, put our efforts in mankind and do what is good now, for the right reasons, and if there IS a God and afterlife, we will get the same reward?

I have been thinking about attending an episcopalian church and my mother in law said that its a form of a catholic church. She forbids me to attend because she says that catholic people derive from voo-doo. Has anyone ever heard of this?

but other than abusing me why havent they proven their point to me logically?

My oldest is 11 and well be 12 years old soon. He ask question about how do I know God is real ?? I read the Bible to him but he thinks it might be just a made up book, which I tell him it is not.. How can I make sure he understands it is real and that there is a REAL GOD and that we are just to believe and trust.. He has had so many good things to happen in his life but he still wonders. How can I help him.
Thank you, Phyllis

What do you Christians base your belief on?
The teachings in the Bilbe?
I believe so because the Bible is the only source
of truth that God left for people. There really
is nothing else to base your beliefs on.
However, there are so many false and inaccurate
things in the Bible, for instance, the earth is flat!!
Well you christians will say that it was a false prophet
that wrote that. So how would you possibly know which
stories to believe in? How could you be so sure that
the stories you think are true are not written by a false prophet?
Faith? Faith comes from the things you believe to be true.
The things in the Bible in unreliable so how can you have
faith in something you can't even be sure to be true?
I want to accept Jesus but i just don't know how to since
the Bible really makes no sense. How can you be so sure
Jesus sacrificed himself or that he will come for the second
time? It might have been a false prophet that wrote that.
Really need some answers.

I saw a Christian so i went straight up to him and
slapped his right cheek. He looked at me with
rage ready to assault me. I then told him to turn
his left cheek to me. He looked unsettled but complied.
So i slapped his left cheek with convition. I told him
that he should not be angry because he is doing
exactly what Jesus thought him which is to turn the other cheek when slapped on the face. So i decided to slap his
right and left cheek for another four rounds and his tears
were sipping. Well, to his credit he still gave me a smile.
At that point i asked him if he felt proud, and he said
he takes pride in following the teachings of Jesus. As a
closing scene i slapped the **** out of both his right and left cheek simultaneously with my two palms. He looked at me
and spoke to me with his whinny voice. " Now that you
slapped both my cheeks at the same time where shall i
turn? Jesus did not give me this scenario." So i told him to
shut the $%&@ up!!

Since all of us are given the power of choice, who's to tell we're not going to sin again when we get to heaven? After all Lucifier and his followers lived in Heaven and were cast out because they betrayed God. Therefore once we enter heaven, we are all capable of sinning because we still have the power of choice! So what's the point?

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Pretty true? Please state your religion or lack of and whether or not you laughed at this.

Okay people........what do u think about it ...
Hinduism claims that reincarnation is REAL , but Christians do not believe in it .----According to Hinduism , as a person performs his karma ( good or bad ) , he is judged n has to reincarnate accordingly , until he/she does all good.A soul recides in each of us, which after death reincarnates in to a different body.----Christianity says man after death goes to heaven n hell ( mythical places i think).----Now there r many REAL EVENTS in which a person remembers about his past life....
1. A child in California remembers about his previous birth --- shown by Discovery channel.----2. A child in India knows about his previous birth , also has a birth ( bullet) mark on his neck, remembers his previous father,mother,city,his occupation --- soldier( died due to gun shot)..------- covered extensively by Indian medias.
Scientists have not been able to explain this phenomenon ..........r there certain genes --- "may be"....

I ask this as a geuine question. It seems that there are a lot of violent Muslims around the would who want to kill each other and any other religion (more so Jews). Do you think it is due to religion or is it more a culture issue? Would be good to get an oppion of a Muslim on this issue. Please do not take offense to this question.
