Religion & Spirituality - 5 July 2007

how can anyone try and defend it or say they believe it if they don't even know what it says? it's so ridiculous, it seems most people are just claiming belief out of fear or tradition, and most would rather have it spoon fed 2 them one verse at a time by their pastors on sunday instead of simply reading it 4 themselves........

Now that more and more people are claiming atheism and are starting to finally be fed up w/ alot of the christian extremist meddling and just plain insanity is it possible it will ever turn into a minority religion? Or at least be seperated from government at some point?

In order to say that God "is" isn't it necessary to define God?

To say that God "is," do you not have to recognize that he "is" according to your senses?

For example: If you surmise that God is "love," can you support your guess by proving that "love' is... i.e., that "love" exists in a real way? One cannot touch love or taste it or smell it, etc., so what exactly is "love" but a mere feeling, a non-being sensation that exists only in the reality of ones mind?

Another example: If you say that God "is" all-powerful, can you show what all-powerful "is"? Once again, you can neither sense it by any real sense of sight, sound, taste, touch or smell nor can you understand it as real by anything more substantial than a feeling, a mere emotion of your own being.

How then is God real? How is he a being?

If you maintain that he "is" a being as you would any living thing, then you would naturally be able to experience his being in a real way, through your real physical senses.

A witness once told me single witnesses half expect their partners to be experienced or have fooled around and consider it a failure if a guy or a girl has waited till marriage to have sex or fool around! Doesn't that go against their relgion saying No sex before marriage? They seem to change their rules like changing underwear?

Forbidden Satanism and KKK Organizations to exist is not to forbidden freedom - is to protect life. My question is strictly regarding the level of sickness in a society ... To be normal and to be tolerant is not about allowing Big Groups to Hate and take action against black people .... To be normal and to be tolerant is not about allowing Satanism to grow and promote chaos and anarchy in the world (Murder, Worship Satan and Chaos are values to be practice by sick and disturbed people) .... To be normal and to be tolerant is not about allowing every human in the country to buy guns (from the age of 16) ... Did U know (and search the Internet for that information) that approximately 11.000 people /in 2006 died in USA by gun shot. In Europe approximately 300 people died by gun shot in 2006. So ?! Whys that ? Because Americans are more violent than Europeans ? No. Because you have more guns. Simple as that.

i am asking is because the moment i received him and asked him to to come into my heart i became instantly healed of my panic attacks which i had been battling for about 4 years. so for the past 1 year i have not had a single panic attack. this to me is so amazing because for 4 years i lived in constant fear, if i get a head ache, a cramp i would automatically start worrying that its some illness and i am about to die. i was going to see my doctor every week and demanding blood tests and they would never find anything. this also started to have a negative effect on my university work. i am surprised i graduated with flying colors and am about to embark on a career in speech therapy. please guys answer this question for me as i want to know if other people out there have experienced the same thing. im not trying to offend anyone. i know we now live in a world where political correctness is at the core of everything. these days you cant even say 'Jesus' without offending your neighbours

And if not who are we to say what is to holy and whats not, isn't that up to the father? Man is always trying to be in control and put rules on Yahweh. If he believed his name to be too holy for us he would of kept it to himself.(kaehya2003)

It's my understanding that in places with poor education system, religious beliefs run riot. Is there anything to back this up or is it just a coincidence and it just looks that way?

Consequentially, will the grip religion has lessen when better education systems are in place somewhere in the future?

I often see you guys go on and on about this "finely tuned universe". Let's examine that idea. I will use the card game bridge as an example.

When one is dealt a bridge hand of thirteen cards, the probability of being dealt that particular hand is less than one in 635 billion. Yet, it would be absurd for someone to be dealt a hand, examine it carefully, and exclaim, “wow, the odds against getting these exact cards are 635 billion to 1. I couldn’t possibly have been dealt this hand by chance. There must have been supernatural intervention.”

That is the fallacy of this idea. The assumption that the universe and world as it exists was a predetermined outcome. This is not the case. It is what it is because that’s the thirteen cards that were dealt. 635 billion to 1 against getting those exact cards, but 1 to 1 odds that 13 cards would be dealt and you would get something.

Is the government or british public ever going to wake up to the fact that the Quran predicts that Islam will take over the world and Muslims (Suuni at least from my experience) consciouselly are making efforts to make this happen with the UK as a western front. I worked with a Suuni who had 4 children and said to me it was his duty as a muslim to ensure that Muslims had more children than non muslims in the UK to ensure that he did his bit to bring about an Islamic state in the long term in the UK. His words were that as long as Muslims such as he made the effort it was inevitable as westerners have no collective goal as Muslims do....Absolute TRUTH..........
Will this sleeping enemy ever be noticed?

If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to
Then how can he be almighty?

If He is able, but not willing
Then is he not evil himself?

If He is both able and willing
Then why is there evil?

If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?

Note: I hope there is an answer but I think this is proof that there is no logic in following a higher power. If you can actually can actually answer these questions for me you may give me a reason to go to church. Thanks!
