Religion & Spirituality - 29 July 2007

Think about it; a good used car salesman is able to sell some poor sucker a piece of crap that he thinks is a good car. He is able to hide the oil leaks or a clunking noise in the transmission just like a religion peddler is able to hide something that is even more blatantly false than an oil leak – no proof! He can sell a belief system that can cost a lot of money, time and sometimes even your children and there is absolutely no proof that what he says is true! This beats any sale that the dodgiest of dodgy used car salesmen ever made, wouldn’t you agree?

For example, Lao-tzu's virgin birth or Confucius' saying, "What you do not like done to yourself, do not unto others.".

What are your thoughts on this?

BTW, If anyone cares to share more similarities between Eastern Philosophy/Religion and Judaism, Christianity and Islam please share as I know there are countless examples.

How is it that an atheist can find it hard to believe in God but they believe that we as humans supposedly evolved over a course of millions of years through random mistakes. That's like saying that a tornado comes through a junkyard then all of a sudden you have a mercedes benz. Wow what was I thinking being a christian. Can somebody please explain this to me?

In the Catachism of the Catholic Church it states that god made man and woman and that is the only proper sexual order. I have never experienced opposite sex attraction both romantically and eroticaly it has always been same sex of which I did not choose. Thier qouting from the bible is extremely harmfull to my feeling of self worth as well as others and clashes with the findings of the phsyciatric and phsycological proffessionals. Personaly I find it very offensive because it means that I am not of the creators original intent. It sounds very similiar to the days when folks of other races were considered inferior.

I was Baptized in a Lake today and had a strange experience. I was not really nervous to be submerged although I am not a swimmer. Everything went well until I was brought up out of the water. I couldn't breathe, the Pastor had to push on my stomache and told me to cough, and finally I could breathe again. I felt rather foolish. I didn't have alot of water come out or anything like that. Does any one have any idea what this could mean spiritually? I am so happy I did this and feel closer to God but rather depressed and puzzled as to why this happened. I don't want to have a bad feeling associated with my baptism. Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else or any opinions on this? Please no wise cracks.

Most people believe it was wrong to use religion to justify slavery and denying women their right to vote. Why is it OK to use religion to deny gays/lesbians their right to marriage?

I'd like to have a few Christian/religious/spiritual disciples/mentors, people who are strong in faith and informed to talk to, because I'm pretty much shaky and new to it, and want to develop a strong relationship with God. I need to learn and have many questions, and I'm hoping someone out there can be of some assistance?

Also, if there are any websites that you guys can direct me to that would be great too. I can do my own research, reading, etc, but I also have questions which I guess only the experienced can help too.

This is hard work guys, I didn't think it would be, but it is.

off subject but, it's so funny the other day I was driving past a mall, which was clogged/crowded and polluted, with swarms of people walking around, and I drove by a church, and it was empty except for 3 cars. This saddened me :-(

Anyways, It's an up-hill battle and I need some help!

Thanks guys.

Even for the non-believers, there is NOTHING wrong in trying to be a better person!

Do you believe that God is more than able to end what concerns you today?

Your view?

Would they still feel the need to troll around the Religion and Spirituality section of Yahoo Q & A?

I mean if Atheists believe that there is no God, than why bother talking about something that doesn't exist? Why not ask Yahoo to set up a category where you can discuss Atheist issues?

I believe God created the universe, starting w/ the big bang, solar system, Earth, evoultion, Humans, and God created me!

People say am I christian or what..ect..?

I don't think everything in the bible is true, sense written over more than a life span, and not written in 1 year.I dont believe the world started with 2 WHITE people: Adam and Eve. People say they arn't white, making race isn't like mixing paint, with red and white to get purple. Here's the problem, even if you get black + white does not = Asian race. Asian + hispanic doesn not = white, you see the point, impossible. Sense God didn't make Noah's boat, it would sink for having 1 billion ppl on it.
Why can't I believe there is (1) God, that created everything and want us to live freely and happy. It does not include Christian or any other religion.

Why don't people understand that, I believe in (1) God and that's that?

Of the following (semi) deities legends went around that they were born of a virgin: Augustus (his father was the god Apollo)
Agdistis, Attis, Adonis, Buddha, Dionysus, Korybas, Krishna, Mithras, Osirus, Perseus, Romulus and Remus, Tammuz, Zoroaster,,Jesus.
So basically, all the pagan religions were alike, including Christianity. It just happens that one of them got the ascendancy, and became the most powerful, and did its best to wipe out all the others. In addition to a lack of historical support, many characteristics of Jesus, which Christians today believe in, are undeniably similar or identical to religious trends and beliefs that preceded Christianity. There are tens of accounts of pagan gods of many different cultures who were said to have the same attributes as those that Christians claim Jesus had. A brief review of some of these may lead to some interesting questions concerning the originality of the Christian claim.
