Religion & Spirituality - 21 August 2007

I am paraphrasing...
Thoughout history, there have been thousands of Gods. As an atheist, I just happen to believe in one less gods than you do. When you think of all the reasons you don't believe in the thousands of gods, you'll begin to understand why I don't believe in yours.

Look I'm atheist and I don't believe in your God, but religion and your beliefs fascinate me nonetheless.
You never know, maybe one day I will believe, I mean stranger things have happened.
Why are my questions about your faith met with so much anger when all I am trying to do is understand where you are coming from?
And why do so many reply with flippant remarks like "God is King" and Jesus is all I need" when I'm asking profoundly important questions?



Thanks.

I am a Christian, and am not lying about what I am about to tell you:

A few nights ago my aunt was on her way home from the grocery store. She got home and packed in all the groceries and then went to gome pull the car on the way. She pulled up and she had clipped on to her sun visor a gold angel pendant. When she stopped the pendant fell of and landed in the floor and snapped in two. She decided she would just get in in the morning on her way from work. The next morning she came out into her locked car got in and the angel pendant was fixed and clipped on to the visor. It was not glued or anything it was like it was never broke!


What do you think of this

Is not allowing a black person (or African American if you prefer) to care for your child based solely on the fact they are a black person (or African American if you prefer) discrimination?

If it is not, please explain why.

If so, could you give any references? I call it here the Hebrew Bible to make it understood that I mean the whole "Old Testament," or Genesis thru 2 Chronicles (per the order in the Tanakh).

ok, i honestly am curious about this. there is an obvious malignancy infecting the catholic church. it is far too common nowadays to hear about the church paying out money to victims of molestation. WHY has this molestation been allowed to go on and WHERE were are the parents before, during and after the deflowering of their children. WHAT besides paying the victims is the church doing to curb this insipid trend of molestation. HOW is the church still standing seemingly unblemished as a community. when pedophiles are caught they are ousted from society, however the catholic church seems to be full of pedophiles and the church remains unscathed. im not against the church, i just dont understand, so im looking for answers.

We´re told to believe in a superior being and in imaginary places to transcend this life.
We´re told to think positive and things "will happen".
We´re told that walking under a ladder, seeing a black cat and breaking a mirror is "bad luck".
We´re told that ships can be "jinxed".
We´re told that speaking of evil brings the "evil eye".
We´re told that astrology governs our lives.

Are we so turned outside-in that we perceive more of a hidden world in fear than wonder at nature and feel elated?
Can we take things as they come instead of creating imaginary disasters?

I find it so utterly unbelievable. The whole story is so unlogical. Beasts coming out of the ocean, stars falling out of the sky. I've read it several times and each time I've thought it was just drug induced hysteria. What is it that makes it so believeable to you?

Do you think maybe the intensity of an ETERNITY (keep in mind how long that is) worth of pure, intense emotion and thoughts, can somehow effect us now in this reality?

this is difficult to explain but bare with me.

The amount of emotion/feeling of an eternity is paramount to what we feel now because that's ALOT of emotion combined, and i just think that amount of intense feeling just somehow... echoes.

For instance, you feel upset about a personal thing, and an eternity later (could be millions/billions/trillions....etc) years later you remember that very moment you felt that way, however you don't just think back once or twice... the life we have here is hardly a glimpse compared to eternity... so you'd constantly remember your life.

Now take that very moment you felt upset and multiply it an infinite amount of times, do you think it's possible you'd actually feel that same intensity given the fact it was the catalyst of an eternal chain of the same feeling at that moment?

How do you feel god's love? I dunno, I grew up believing in god but never had a relationship with him.. At 12, I went to church with a friend and got saved, then at 13 I walked away from god and church altogether and went through a lot in my life. I got into drugs, cutting, I guess everything negative you can think of steming from some bad stuff when I was younger. I want to have a relationship with god.. maybe part of me feels like I'm not worthy of it.. I don't really know. Sometimes I guess I feel kinda betrayed by god.. I just need help. I need a reason to live. I need to learn how to love and feel love. This is like the dumbest place to ask personal questions but I need a place where I can find christians, and i don't think im ready to walk into a church again.
