Religion & Spirituality - 24 August 2007

I am just curious. It seems to me that religion and theism and the (ir)rationality behind is kind of all coming to a head in these last few years. Dawkins and Sagan have lots to do with this. I am just curious will we get to a point where believers are few and Yaweh is chalked up there with Zeus? I am guessing about 2075 but i have no real reason for that guess

The two most re-re-reoccurring answers to this question are "faith" and "experience."

If your answer is "faith" can you define the term?

If your answer is "experience" can you explain specifics?
(ex. what you saw, heard, or felt)

According to Roman Catholic Dogma, Jesus was born of a virgin, and he was both human and a god; the human part being solely created by the body of Mary without any divine participation whatever, whereas the divine component of Jesus is solely an outgrowth of God.

Apparently Jesus was a male, and for a human male foetus to form it has to be conceived with a Y chromosome which can only be contributed by the male. Also if a human could be born solely from a human female, the only way even hypothetically possible would mean it would be an exact clone of the mother.

So how if Jesus was born of a virgin wasn’t he female and an exact genetic duplicate of his mother?
If you are a Catholic you may not answer this question by saying that God intervened and somehow supplied the missing chromosomes because it is the Dogma of your church that there was no such divine interception. Such an answer invoking divine genetic participation in the creation of a viable Jesus zygote would be clearly heretical according to RC theology.
TIA

Will i find God if i were to take my own life? He just took my baby brother who was killed by a drunk driver, then my mom to cancer. That was all i had in this mean world. My depression over the past 6 months have caused me to lose evryting i had, i'm now homeless, and have nothing. I miss my family...i'm sick of spending my days in a library for shelter,sick of searching for food...for jobs that i cant even get because i have no phone or address to leave. I'm at my end...but i love God and want to spend eternity with him and my family...will he forgive me and take me with him? Please pray for my soul!!

How do we even know that it is Abe Lincoln in that grave?

We have FAITH that Abe Lincoln's grave contains Abe Lincoln's body. We cannot prove it. Even pictures could have been a hoax. No living witnesses of him are still living today. We believe what the eyewitnesses told us about his assassination. In 50 years, are we going to question the witnesses?

How is this any different than Christ? His witnesses who recorded the events were from all walks of life and there are no contradictions between sources. There was no question of biblical truth 150 years after Christ. Why would Christians at the time sacrifice their lives for a lie? Does that make any sense?

We can say "beyond a REASONABLE doubt" that Abe Lincoln was assassinated.

Why can't we make a good case for Jesus Christ's Death and Resurrection?

His existence has been proven without the Bible.

"Impossible" by definition means it cannot be done so, let me ask you.... is anything impossible?

If you say yes, some things are impossible, then how can God do them? (because "God can do anything", or am I wrong)

or

Is nothing impossible? (which defies logic)
