If you belong to an organized religion, does your religion have anything to say one way or the other about cremation ?

If you do not belong to an organized religion, what are your personal beliefs about cremation ?

I 'd also like to hear the "why" of it, either way.

What I find strange is that many christians will do anything to "convert" people including catholics (who believe christ died for their sins), they will tell them that they are not "saved" and are in fact going to hell because they attend mass every week and devote themselves to Christ.

Yet they say that they do this out of Love and call any attempt to stop such activity persecution against Jesus.

It confuses me because when I speak to people like that they really have no understanding of Sytematic Theology, Church history etc.

The catholic chuch as been around 2000 years while the protestant movement has been around a few hundred.

What is wrong with devoting your life to Jesus despite the denomination. Since in effect, knowledge right or wrong doesnt affect salvation its about faith.
Further didnt Jesus say that the world would recognise the church because it is one, as far as I can tell the Catholic Church is the only one not fragmented into 9000 denominations globaly

Do you have cash and can't stand to see a "god" put forth on it?

If you are Xian, Muslim, Jew, et al, do you find it to be sacriligious to have your deity on money?

Will you cross out "In God We Trust" with a permanent black marker?

Evolution is supported by overwhelming evidence, albeit with a few incomplete details.

Creationism has absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever to support it

Why are we supposed to give them equal footing in out schools?

You do not believe in the existence of God. How about after death... will you?

Think for a moment how we got here without us making choices to what we should look like and where we're suppose to be borned. So isn't it obvious that our Destiny is already written as well? I'm not religious or anything but even in the Bible it says that before we were born our life was already set by God. Now how can you as a little human being in this gigantic Universe argue against what I just said? Am I right or Am I right?

That it is often quite easy to say that something is wrong when it doesn't personally affect your life?
For exampe; homosexuality, abortion, in vitro, stem cell research, interracial relationships and so on.
I have learned that through my life I have my own beliefs, but to keep my mind open to other peoples decisions because I have simply not walked in their shoes. I was not put here on earth to be the judge of what is good and what is evil. . .I believe I am here to show compassion and to love.. . .that the way I live my life is most important for me and for those around me.

Are temple garments essentially underwear, or do you wear underwear beneath such.

Also, I was told that the garments have a hook in the back of the neck...the idea is that some day that God will "scoop" up the believers with some kind of staff that the hook will connect to?

Is this really true or a bunch of baloney?

Any of you fundementalists ever see the film, "Saved"? It's like looking in a mirror, right?

Doesn't Christianity preach, "Love thy neighbor"? Shouldn't this include everyone, not just people who have the same rigid religious standards and beliefs as you?

If our minds are dictated by the chemical reactions going on inside our brains, then is it really anyone's "fault" if they break the law? Isn't doing so just abnormal behavior/psychosis that could be "corrected" through therapy and/or medication?

If we are nothing but chemical reactions, then why punish criminals? To do so is to deny an individual's "wiring". If we are something more, what is it and why are we the only species that has this consciousness?

This is admittedly a difficult Q, but let's think things through here a little and take each to their respective, ultimate ends.

I did! And when I spoke to someone about it, come to find out they saw and describe the same thing to me. Does that mean (like my friend stated) we are living in the 4th or 5th dimension?

Brainwashed christians say "join our team or you will rot in hell for eternity?"

soccer hooligans say "join our team or we will kick your ***!"

aside from the immediate physical harm, the groups are somewhat similar in their tactics. Your thoughts?

I am not interested in any of the churchs that have been classified as "cults" so mainstream i am considering Catholic or conservative Evangelical. I might do both, I like the Catholic style but I do find the evangelical model more involving?

Doctrinaly they are the same "faith in christ for salvation" etc. i am not to concerned about the minor differences as they are just that.

What do you think. I want to start going on a regular basis.
