...to be taught about sex? At what level of maturity?

He went on to ask if it were true that some "spiritual" lessons cannot be taught or learned, until a person reaches a certain level of "spiritual" maturity.

Is this a valid comparison?

Is there a correlation between learning deep complex issues, and maturity?

Is this so? Do some "spiritual" concepts require a certain level of "spiritual" maturity before one can learn anything from them, or even comprehend them?

If so, then how does one become "spiritually mature"?

Your courteous thoughts please.

I was talking with my christian friends about the existence/relevance of God and they attacked my reasoning but hardly gave any substance beyond faith.

I notice this especially in the Atheist vs. Christian questions. I go back and check and the best answer is more often or not just something that regurgitates the asker's viewpoint (which is usually fairly evident from the question)

Are we trying to get a true understanding and knowledge of each other or just trying to validate our own opinion?

NOW, THAT REMINDS ME


There were these two priests who rode bikes to church every Sunday. Well one day one of the priests showed up to work without his bike. The other priest asked where his bike was so the first priest said, "I don't know, but I think it got stolen!"

The other priest said, "Well what you do is read off the Ten Commandments, and when you get to "Thou shall not steal" someone will confess to the crime."

The next time the two saw each other the priest had his bicycle back. "I see you got your bike back! Did you do what I said?" the one priest said.

The other said, "Well kind of, when I was reading the commandments and I got to Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery, I seemed to remember where I had left it."

Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?

Most scholars or educated people know that there is no such thing as a god. Its the less educated who need something to look forward to after death or just don't have the mental capacity to understand a world without a god. But what if we are wrong? If there is a god he might be upset that almost all "educated|" normal people never believed in him. All I can say is that if a god wanted most educated people to believe, he should make himself known. What do you all think?

Indian History : Supposedly written by a schoolboy with all original spellings:

The original inhabitants of ancient India were called Adidases, who lived in two cities called Hariappa and Mujhe-na-Daro. These cities had the best drain system in the world and so there was no brain drain from them Ancient India was full of myths which have been handed down from son to father. A myth is a female moth. A collection of myths is called mythology, which means stories with female caricatures. One myth says that people in olden times worshipped monkeys because they were our incestors.

In olden times there were two big families in India. One was called the Pandava and the other was called the Karova. They fought amongst themselves in a battle called Mahabharat, after which India came to be known as MeraBharat Mahan.

The Day of Judgement will happen after the universe is destroyed and then re-created.

The Trumpet will be blown and all things will be destroyed......

Then God will remake everything and he will make Paradise and Hellfire (they are not on this earth).

The earth will be re-made flat and then the trumpet will be blown again and all of the humans ever born will come out of the earth.... resurrected.

Then the Judging will start.... and that day will take thousands of years to finish.

Christians seem to have confused about the day of Judgement with some supposed resurrection which is to happen when Jesus returns.

I have a c0-trustee on my living trust...big mistake!
He has said that he would prefer to let my proiperty go to waste rather than fix it. He sais he will allow it to fallinto disrepair then resign as co-trustee to avoid any personal liability.

People aren't born theists. Theism is something you have to acquire and come to believe in at some point. What was that point and what led to you becoming theistic?

I'm not criticizing Christians , but I'm simply curious.

OK so there are always question to christians, muslims and other religions saying "what do you believe and why do you believe it?" and there are to athiests saying "what do you believe and why do you believe it?".

I find these questions to be quite helpful in understanding different peoples beliefs so i want to know about agnosticism.

So people who are agnostic what do you believe and why do you believe it?

When things in the Universe work they are often invisible, the laws of motion and Universal gravitation are notorious examples of this through out our known history, yet they appear boringly obvious to us now. Newton's genius was seeing what is so evident as to be unseeable. Each leap in science has made manifest a working that is cloaked by its very success. When it comes to the laws of Universe and all it could possibly contain one repeats over and again, that is: Never let them see it at all, make them deduce the existence. Indeed the laws of the Universe are never directly observable, so then we have no other way of discovering them except by deduction. What works in the living community is similarly cloaked by its success. The basic laws of ecology have the beauty and simplicity of a fairy tale, but their existence only began to be suspected a century ago. What merit then does "Faith" have in this equation and how applicable is it to the generation rising to take the future power?

And a lot of times they say "Joseph didn't have intimate relations with his other wives."

What does that prove? Aren't you skirting the original issue at hand? The Mormon church does not teach that Joseph had multiple wives, and when questioned, Mormons rationalize with the bit about 'no kids or no sex'.

Have you made friends as a result of spending time on R&S? If so, who, and what fostered your friendship. I have to name Serafim, Ramjet, Super Bobo, Kallan, The Grit, Bonsai Bobby, and Patrick as people I have formed a bond with. The qualities all of them share is an appreciation for humour, to be able to laugh with me, at me, and at themselves, and remarkable capacity for generosity, as well as high intelligence and wit. I am truly honoured to have these as good friends.

Who have you formed friendships with, and how did this forum make it possible?

I have seen these super right-wing Christians on TV holding up signs saying A.I.D.S. kills fags. It isn't just that westborow baptist church either. These are usually the same people who say Christians don't hate anyone. Please explain to me how this is not hate???????
