Religion & Spirituality - 1 July 2007

I just read an interesting article discussing the problem with some priests and the things they did with children. People naturally search for answers and according the sources I will give it is due to the satanic and sexual imagery they are bombarded with from within the church itself. While I like a good conspiracy do you think this has any validity?

Here is the article:

God creates and Jesus, being the right hand witnesses the creations. In fact, he is the word as the Bible attested.

My question is how do we fit in the picture as co-creators?

Do you have the answer in this puzzle(how we are all included)?

Will it be after or before the Rapture?

If you could, please provide scripture to support your answer.

If you are an Atheist or Non-believer etc, you are free to answer but Please don't give me an answer telling me "It won't happen, because God isn't real" Please, I ask out of respect. Please give me an answer that would support my belief out of what you hear from other Christians. Thank you :D

Or just a community ongoing that is meant to support the poor (by sharing the meat) and breed love and association?

What do you think of the quote?

""Islam has given me all the answers to y questions, I am at home witht he universe. I am at peace and content. I have my guiding light to follow- Allah. I seek no more than to continue to be guided by Allah and to surrender wholly to His will. This has the effect of ushering one above pomp, idols and intermediates. You only do what pleases allah and that frees you from wordly demands."

I.A. Patel.

Islam the choice of thinking Women."

We rarely hear (well, in the West) that other Vishnu's avatars are worshipped like Krishna/Rama. Is there a reason to that?

Were you forced to convert, or did you choose to convert?

Personally, I started to study religions at the age of 14. I started out as the trolls, looking for anything bad. But I found that for every bad thing, there was a good thing. And the bad things were put into context when one thought about them. I am 23 now, soon to be 24 God willing, and I am still learning more and more everyday. The more I learn, the stronger my faith grows. And the propaganda I have seen helps to strengthen it, because I actually look at the sources and read everything around the one verse they use. In all cases, they purposely only quoted half of a verse or tried to make it look like it was meant for one thing only.

What is your story? I'm very interested in hearing. And where can I get those free little Islamic books of stories of converts? My step sister who is also a convert got them but I haven't had a chance to ask her where she got them.

I'm a Christian and for defending the country against enemies. But, it seems that a lot of Christians are way too hawkish when it comes to pre-emptive attacks of foreign countries.

Jesus said that we should love our enemies and forgive them or else we can not recieve forgiveness.

You can slate islam all you want, but islam is stronger and the publicity from these attacks will only encourage more people to find out about islam and convert. Just like 9/11, 7/7 and Madrid.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in every European country.

This question is for everyone who makes their decision logically instead just following on whatever said. If you believe in god please tell what make you believe in god? and if not tell us what is the reasoning behind it.
May be we all can benefit from each other's understanding of god and religion.

If all parties concerned and most are religious at grass roots level, actually sat down and told the provable truth only that Jehovah was just another version of Allah and on and on in the end conceded that neither parties God had intefered with the world in modern times and for that matter may not actually care or even go a step further exist. Truth shall set all from their respective mental perspectives and bodages free and all could be free in deed.

Even the theological scholars & doctors deny that the resurrection and ascension take place in physical dimension (real world). They rather took place in "spiritual dimension", which means it's only symbols (myths/imaginary)

It seems to me that with the election of George W. Bush in the president's seat, Christianity's agenda has been making marked advances, with laws being changed in their favor (the third-trimester abortion law, for example) and the renewed battle to replace prayer activity in public schools. How far, before rationality and non-religious thinking reassert themselves, will this slow, deliberate removal of citizen freedom extend?

The idea of Heaven seems to me nothing more than a cleverly constructed bribe.

If a person believes that a gold-plated paradise awaits them after this life - what other genuine motivation do they have to be a good person?

If the 'eternal payoff' for living a good life taps into human greed (ie. gold mansions and eternal life), where does that leave a person's desire to make this world a place of peace and hope for future generations?

Is it not similar to betting your whole life-savings on 'the favourite' horse in the Grand National?
How often does the favourite actually win the race?

If the idea of 'Heaven' is a bribe - who are the ones profiting?

If Heaven is not a bribe - what motivates you to live you're life with genuine concern for your fellow humans and nature?

Is this world just an old newspaper - fit for the rubbish pile?
