Religion & Spirituality - 8 July 2007

I'm just tired of some people trying to attack with the whole "the universe wasn't created in 7 days". And to answer that question, Catholics don't take that literally. That's just a representation. And yes, Catholics can still believe in Evolution AND in God.

I hear some who claim to be Atheist but they say they have a soul or are superstitious. Would they still be Atheist?

What would the proper term for someone who does not believe in god, a soul, spirits, angels, demons, karma, luck, transcending the ox, enlightenment, magic, spells, curses, fung shui, et all.

The electrical storm is drawing strength from the air around me, like a mile-high cobra preparing to strike.

Flashes of lightning overlay one another such that there is little darkness between them.

"krk-BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!"

How could Pagans ever give this up for the stuffiness and emptiness of a church service and still feel their unquenchable thirst for Life appeased?

because anyone can easily believe in anything, and in fact, anyone can believe they are guided by the Holy Spirit.

what if it's just an opinion in the end?

and he is angry with you for not accepting his true word through Muhammad and you must therefore go to hell?

I know most will answer this "but that won't happen." But I'm asking you to use your imaginations and really try to think of how you might feel/react.

It appears many people answer the main question without reading the details.

Example: Do you believe in God?
Details: Since Jesus' miracles testify to His existence.
Answer: No, because there is no evidence that He exists.

In the above example it would seem that such an answer should address why Jesus miracles do not testify to God if they had read the details.

other than believing Jesus Christ is the Son of God that died on a cross for my sins? I mean of course THIS is necessary; but if I continue to read on, will I find that there are OTHER things required of me, or is THIS IT?
I have a bible right before me. Is there ANYTHING else that I MUST do in order to have etenal life.
Opinions have their place; but I need "Word of God" in THIS matter.

Didn't they learn anything in school. Nothing can be predicted by the bible. Even a science book that a 6 year old can read on their own can be used to make predictions i.e. what the moon will look like in the coming days. How come religion can't do that? Oh yeah because its not real. Please only respond if you are an atheist because religious opinions are worthless and backward like the myth of the skygod that their perverted minds try to push onto real people as true. Thanks yall.

I confess that I do, they are wrapped up so tightly in belief and faith and fear and ignorance. Reading their posts here, some chaps clearly have nothing else to 'love'. It's the dad in me, I guess. Sometimes I feel like giving a parental hug over cyberspace and saying, 'It's just a boo-boo, it'll hurt only a second or two.' I know this sounds wacko and that some of my fellow unbelievers are sharpening his or her tongue this very moment, but it's true, I honest to gosh feel that some Fundies are like little kids waiting for their turn at the dentist's chair--fear that an invisible being up there in the sky will be angered and slam shut heaven's door. What a shame, what a loss to miss the joy and galloping fun of life for a god that does not exist.

Here is one fundie who has shown a capacity to reason. Granted, he has not abandoned his religion entirely, but he is doubting at least one of its claims.

So maybe all this arguing isn't entirely in vain after all.

i personally cannot believe how someone could think like this. firstly, your life is a gift from Him and should be treated as a gift. YOU are the most beautiful thing to Him; he is the reason for everything that you have and can do. He wishes no hate or pain or suffering upon anyone for any reason. He wants you to evolve and grow towards him. He loves you above all things. FOR EXAMPLE JESUS WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED SO WE WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE GOD AS HE ALWAYS WANTED US TO. if you think that you are able to do things because you are evolved over millions of years you are wrong. just because it can be proved w/ numbers doesnt mean He isnt there. Who calculated all those numbers? last time i checked rocks werent smart enough to do that. plus, maybe scientific explanations are just another test of our faith; maybe it is our choice to believe in God but He will never stop having faith in us; to me thats enough.

when you hear a word or name spoken on the radio or tv and at the same time, by coincidence, you see the word on a sign, truck, or in print on whatever you are reading? This happens to me on occasion while I'm driving or while at home with the tv on and reading the paper or a magazine. There has to be a word for this. If not, any suggestions? And has this happened to you before?
I posted this in "Words & Wordplay" too but I know there are some very intelligent folks here in R&S that I thought might have some ideas. Thanks

religion is an organized way of worshiping someone or something, do you agree? that being the case shouldn't your religion be pleasing to God? why? because he is the one who gives everlasting life. Not ALL RELIGIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO HIM
(Matthew 7:21-23) 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

Christianity never treated women as objects like the first seven Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. Don't believe me? Mormonism was founded on polygamy. Follow the link and read the proof for yourself!

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070708182600AA0aKfm

The last polygamist Mormon president died during World War II. Hmm...not that long ago Mormons! But then the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints is one of the newest churches as well as the only church in America to embrace and condone polygamy.

No other church has embraced polygamy. Brigham Young makes Henry VIII look like a real Saint! In the Catholic church Saint is a title of honor and not merely a name attributed to just anyone. The Roman Catholic Church is the original Christian church founded by Jesus the Christ himself whilst these other churches were founded by men and the teachings of man rather than the teachings of God. Jesus is God, Mormons!

I have heard that you feel your organization, is directed by God, and that your religion is the only one that has his Holy Spirit guiding it..
Then, I read answers that say, they don't claim that at all..

Which is it. Is the WTBTS guided with the spirit or just by man's interpertation of the Bible..You can't have it both ways..but, I keep reading different answers from JW's.
