Religion & Spirituality - 21 July 2007

That is, in reality or in meditation or dreams, but where it was a real "almost" connection to it. It was THERE. I am talking about the level of evil you would find in a serial killer -- that kind of raw, unthinkable energy. If so, how did you react to it? What did you do to protect yourself from it? How did it really feel to you to have to face off with that kind of energy?

I read The Secret recently that claims that Jesus was a millionaire. This is news to me. Where did they get this from?

waaaaay back in 6th grade, when my social studies teacher was teaching us about ancient civilizations (Mesopotamia, etc) the way she worded something while talking about an ancient religion or two got me thinking... was religion nothing more than possibly what started out as the smartest thing government has ever done?

she was discussing Greek gods, and she asked us something along the lines of "don't you think that's a good idea?... telling someone 'if you don't do this and that then Zeus will strike you down with a thunderbolt', so they'd all obey the law?..." i thought it was a pretty poor way of putting it (I’ve never given this lady any credit for being particularly smart), but she had a point... and when you look into the ten commandments and start to think about it, wouldn't that really make such a wonderful community? apart from no murdering... just no gossiping, no envying something someone else has, no lying, no stealing... i have almost nothing positive to say about

I need to cast a protection spell on a small crystal stone that I have. Not to protect the stone though, but that I can put on a necklace and wear to protect me... I can't wear an amulet or my parents will freak, so I have to make my own.. any ideas?

Fellow Christians, we know what God thinks about abortion. I have had my share in the past years ago. My 20 year old daughter is pregnant by someone she had a brief fling with. With all my teachings and advice she has still chosen her own path of life and is now in a situation where she is unsure of what decision to make. A part of me wants her to get an abortion because she is too young, and this will not be a helpful man in her life. I know that that is the devil putting those thoughts in my head, because God's word is the opposite of this type of thinking.Because of my pass sins, I feel so unworthy to even advise her, even though I have asked for forgiveness and I am saved.I am in my late 30's and have 2 very small children of my own to raise. I would help her of course, but I don't want to give her the impression that I will raise her child for her relieving her of her responsibilities. I left the decision up to her to make about keeping the baby or not.....do you agree or not?

There have been many open questions about the Catholics and the cover up of child sexual abuse....
I have posted questions regarding Jehovah's Witnesses and similar abuse problems, and cover ups, and they get together and have my questions removed.

Does this group silencing action prove my point? Will you investigate the claims for yourself?

I am NOT asking Christians to DEFEND this...

I just want to know what Christians think causes this kind of thinking and how they plan to teach their children to avoid it for the safety of everyone in the world.

The concept of good is nonsense without the concept of bad (or not?). Are God and Satan the poles of the same battery?

On my recent vacation to Panama City I passed over 90 churches or signs that led to churches on my 4 hour drive.
Doesnt it seem like all of that space dedicated to worship could be better used for a hospital or something?

If no, then why do some of my fellow Christians get all angry when people state that the Bible is riddled with mistakes and inaccuracies. As it wasn't GOD who actually wrote the thing, don't you think it's fair to say that it's extremely contradictory and has many politically incorrect things within it?

One of the nice things about a christian suggesting you've taken a verse out of context is it will prompt other christians to read the chapter :-))

Not only will they discover it was not taken out of context, but they will also learn just how monstrous was the deed that inspired the verse.

Atheists, are you glad you know the bible?
