Religion & Spirituality - 7 July 2007

Yesterday, I bought a pair of Crocs. For work. Although I will never wear them outside of my job, the thought still lingers. Are the Fashion Gods angry at me for such an ugly choice of footwear?

If so, how do I appease them?

Shall I make a sacrifice to Coco Chanel? Spend a day wearing nothing but my high heel shoes?

I need to get right with them or they might punish me by never again allowing me to find good deals on ebay, or worse cursing me with knockoffs.

Enlighten me wise ones!

Many bad things have happened from religion.
1. The crusades, killing in the name of god.
2. The Holocaust had to with religion and race.
3. Violence in the Middle East, killing in the name of god.
4. The KKK, they call themselves religous.
I could go on and on...

Are you an empowered Christian?

I challenge you read these scriptures, can you still believe that you can keep habitually sinning - please remember we are each at a different stage of growth... This is mainly aimed at Christians who believe that they can live as they want....
Romans 3:31 in light of Romans 3.
Romans 8:1 don't just quote it cos you miss the bit about who walk not after the flesh but the Spirit
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
1 Samual 16:7b The LORD seeth not as man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh at the heart.

Psalm 51

This is a challenge... We need to be a pure spotless Church... the time is coming where we need rise up and show the World Jesus is real Jesus Loves them and that we are His hands and feet... That we believe in Jesus serious enough to be obedient to God's word... John 14:15

They always say don't preach something your not willing to live by well I am ready to live by this are you?

By now it is obvious to most people that there is no real-world reason to oppose homosexuality, only a deliberately cultivated bigotry based on the fairy tales of a particular death cult.

So why suffer from Christian Persecution when Canada offers a much better life for homosexuals?

As long as Christians worship a god who whose holy book claims he drowned all the babies in the world, their morality is not a standard worthy of emulation, nor their criticism to be taken seriously.

That were former chirstians ever experience God personally?
Did you have a relationship with him?
I mean,
Being RELIGIOUS and having a close relationship is two different things.

I am NOT religious,
but I have a real close relationship with him.
I don't practice this and that,
have to do this and that,
just for my RELIGION,
I just go by the bible,
which is for GOD.


Anyway,
If you guys did know him,
and know what he did and can do,
how did you lose your faith on Him,
and put it back in the world?

I was super unhappy when I was without him,
and now I don't worry about anything.
Are you guys the same?
Or are you filled with the things of this world?

You guys believed in the devil before,
how could he not be here anymore?

Sorry if it sounds confusing.

I'm talking about stuff like this:

"You don't like homosexuality... so you must be homosexual!"
"You spent all of your time trying to disprove God... so you must believe in God!"
etc.

I'm not going to take sides on these issues as that's not the point of the question. It's just that some people are arrogant enough to think they can tell others what they think and feel.

It seems like, ever since reverse psychology became a part of popular culture, everyone and his dog thinks they can apply it to everything, thinking they're intelligent.

They're not.

Thoughts?

Why is the world 6,000 yrs old in the bible, But at the same time we are recieving light from stars that are 100,000 light years away?
Why do we go to hell for not believing when there is no evidence? Is he playing with us?

Wouldnt God appreciate someone more if they question his existence instead of blindly and ignorantly accepting the "truth"?

Being that I am young people in my church have always told me that as I am considering my future I should also consider what God would like me to do with my future. Well....how the heck would I know? I mean I guess if I thought about it for a while I would justify my own decision by saying that God is pushing me to do so. In other words, how do you know if God is calling you to become a priest or a nun?

This is just something i found off the internet. Please tell me what you think of it, because it is really making me think. =S



okok first off that galieo dude. he said that the earth revolves around the
sun, but that went against the teachings of the church so they placed him
under house arrest untill he died. GUESS WHAT?? the earth revolves around
the sun!

2nd christianity says that god created every thing, but who created god?

3rd christianity says that you should love every body and treat them
fairly...hmmm lets see weren't the nazis chritian? Also the crusaders who
raped,killed, and looted from tones of people did it all in the name of
"god." Slave drivers that were devoted chritians treated thier slaves like
nothing. what a way to follow ur religion

4th the whole adam and eve thing. the bible states that god created adam and
eve first, but fossil records clearly show that things where on the earth be
for humans.

5th the virgin birth. right...just think about it and you will realize how
stoopid that is. how can a virgin give birth?? that just goes against all
science except the type of lizard that can clone itself. if you still belive
in the virgin birth are you implying that mary was a lizard?

6th noahs arc 2 of every animal ehhh lets see...a boat that can hold 2
elephants, rhinos, giraffs, hippos, kimono dragons, apes, wolves, and etc.
is just im possible. it would take a genious to design a boat able to do
that and noah wasn't a genious.

7th again bout the noah story. god loves you right? well then how come he
drowned everything on the planet except 2 of each animal?

8th Ahhh Noah. A few questions for you too then - where did he get the polar
bears, penguins, etc from? Noah sends a dove out to see if there was any dry
land. But the dove returns without finding any. Then, just seven days later,
the dove goes out again and returns with an olive leaf. But how could an
olive tree survive the flood? And if any seeds happened to survive, they
certainly wouldn't germinate and grow leaves within a seven day period. When
the animals left the ark, what would they have eaten? There would have been
no plants after the ground had been submerged for nearly a year. What would
the carnivores have eaten? Whatever prey they ate would have gone extinct.
And how did the New World primates or the Australian marsupials find there
way back after the flood subsided? Noah kills the "clean beasts" and burns
their dead bodies for God. According to the bible, this would have caused
the extinction of all "clean" animals since only two of each were taken onto
the ark.

9th "Love your enemies."
Well, it's a nice thought. But it seems strange coming from someone who
damns his enemies to hell.

You claim your "particular" god knows everything, but you yourselves have no understanding of the many mainstrean scientific disciplines, concepts, priciples and understandings that describe the natural world. [other than the common creationist misrepresentations, misquotes and outright lies about science, but which is NOT mainstream science..]

Does that make scientifically informed people the next in line for your worship..?

It is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find
The Mercy for the need

It is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Fill our hearts with your compassion
As we hold to our confession

Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only you can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a father to the fatherless
Our savior and our king
We will be your hands, we will be your feet
We will run this race
On the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light



All arguments aside, this is real Christianity. I love this band.

I mean I guess every religion thinks their's is the biggest and baddest but is it actually doctrine that the Catholic religion is the most "correct"?

Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday removed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass, reviving a rite that was all but swept away by the liberalizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

The decision, a victory for traditional, conservative Roman Catholics, came over the objections of liberal-minded Catholics and angered Jews because the Tridentine Mass contains a prayer for their conversion.
