Last night I saw my younger brother such 1st time and he said he fell into drain.

I believed he was beaten up as he did owe syndicate money since 2003 and his glass was broken into half. Amazingly he never grumble or complain in pain ! This brother of mine rarely grumble since he was young no matter how much I agitate him.

If in 2000, I would have wanted to deal with those hooligans with an eye for an eye and yield them 10 times for what they did to him.

Instead I chose to control myself and show him concern and ask God to protect him and I pray for those who beat him. (He was pretty tall for an Asian). Yes I did that sincerely as I know God loves those children of his and of all one thing dawn on me at the Mass, that is since Christ is badly bruised and crucified on the cross, he taught us by asking his heavenly Father to forgive those who crucified him. Thus I too, should plead for those who hurt my brother and for myself to learn to love instead.

God bless.

(I have heard this question asked, and haven't heard a response that answers it for me... So I decided to ask it my way.)

Human Emotions? I have been educated on the Theory of Evolution, and admit that there are some valid points. But I don't believe that these things accurately account for the full panopoly of human emotions and of human experience. What scientific process explains why humans experience guilt, embarrassment, humiliation, sorrow, shame, joy, love? I know that science points to altruism (and natural chemical imbalances) as being evolutionarily beneficial, and although I could possibly buy that, I can't buy that that accounts for the human emotions we see and experience every day. Relatedly...?

why didn't Jesus ask for John to care and look after them?
He from the cross ask John to take care of his Mother.
would he have not cared about his wife and child?

look it up for yourself....this to me slaughters the "Jesus was married and had a child theroy" and what would have been the purpouse of him having a child?
Jesus birth life and ressurection had a purpose.

It's problematic in that there must have been a point in time when man's predecessors were as much like animals as they were like men. Perhaps God looks out for the Chimpanzees too. Of course if you reject Darwinism then there is no problem beyond the abandonment of objective and rational thinking. Perhaps man created God when he evolved the mental capacity to do so. That seems possible to me but it doesn't strike me as an idea that might be very popular with the Vatican.

Ive been coming to Y!A for about a week and during that time a lot of misconceptions have been challenged. But I think those that have had the greatest effect on me have been the atheists. I have come to appreciate the power of reason over faith much more. Ive been reading the book 'The End of Faith' and man has it changed how I think. Since adjusting my beliefs to better suit reason I find myself appreciating the little things in life (things that the application of reason have given us) and being a little kinder to people. These are things that I was never able to acheive by putting faith in a God. Just wanted to say that you do have a place on this forum and it does benefit some people.

Hmm. I just thought of this question as I login Yahoo Answers.

I felt that as long as we had a genuine desire to know more about one another's faith, to bridge our differences and learn from one another, we can stand to benefit in our own spiritual growth.

The love of God is not exclusive to just a certain group of people but extended to everyone.

You?

Obviously, all Christian denominations have core beliefs, but where do Catholicism and Anglicism diverge?

How does the story of Sodom and Gamorah teach against homosexuality when the men knocking on Lot's door didn't want to 'know' other men, they wanted to 'know' the angels, which are not part of the human spicies?

Doesn't this prescribe agaisnt sleeping with angles. Isn't the moral that it was OK for Lot's daughters to be raped but not OK for man-on-angel sex?

Where is the evidence that there was rampant homosexuality in S&G? I don't see any. This story is clearly about sex with angels. I mean, a man sleeping with a female horse isn't heterosexul any more than a man sleeping with a male outside of the human species (eg, an angel) is about homosexuality.

Why do some of you atheist come on the religion & spirituality section? I don't mean to offend you, and I know that you have just as much authority to be on here as anyone else, but if you don't believe in religion and God, why bother answering questions that have to do with it? It sometimes makes the questioner mad, AND I would think it would just annoy you to answer a question about something or someone you don't believe.

Serious answers, without snippy comments, please.
I'm serious...

Christian theology borrowed more than the myth of the saving godman. Initiation by baptism, communion with the God through a holy meal, the Holy Spirit, monotheism, and immortality of the soul all belonged many ancient faiths. They were simply part of ancient Mediterranean culture.

Christianity also borrowed elements of Jesus' mythology. Sons of God born of a mortal woman, and miracles (including turning water into wine, walking on water, and especially healing the sick) were common elements of pre-Christian Pagan religions. Mithras had 'em. So did Dionysus, Attis, Osiris, and Orpheus. And more.

And they had them centuries before Christianity was a twinkle in Saint Paul's eye.
