Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2007

You meet him face to face (no you don't die, or turn older because you saw him). Obviously no time for one-liners here given the sacredness of this event, so what question would you ask him and why?

Serious responders please. I think we all know that God can still read these posts.

Are we destined to an afterlife of pitch blackness? Do we know we're dead? If the mind, body and spirit are three separate things, then does a soul feel and/or think? Is a soul even real? I don't mind religious views, but I'm trying to approach this scientifically, because I'm scared of death and what lies beyond.

I have ran into so many people asking the dumbest questions and, sometimes, attacking other people's beliefs. I read a question about a person saying that Atheists are related to monkeys and should therefore be put in a zoo and treated like monkeys. I have also seen questions about Atheists saying there is no god. Why can't people just accept other people's beliefs and values?

Earlier today, I asked a question about the Anti-Christ, and I was surprised to see that nearly half the responses insisted that this fictitious Bible character currently walks among us. I've heard that Aleister Crowley was the Anti-Christ, and that Hitler was. More recently, George W. Bush and Barak Obama have been offered up as candidates for this distinction on YA. Any others?

they say he had nothing to do with it, or its our own fault because we have free will?
Isn't that a double standard?

I don't understand why there are a few people out there in the Christian circle that don't agree and even say that the following up above Teachers, Preachers, and Prophets are heretics.I seen Benny Hinns crusades on TV, I have even been to one when I was a child. I actually felt the Holy Spirit and the Presence of God in these Crusades. I seen Hagins services were people get raptured in the Spirit, Fall under the power, get healed, get saved. These people do not operate under the power of demons, this is not a demonic force. It has to be the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said, "how can Satan cast out Satan, and a house divided against itself cannot stand". If these people were truly false prophets and heretics, than why does the genuine Holy Spirit and the Power of God seem to work through these people and thier ministries. If they were preaching and teaching Doctrines of Devils as "some" people say, than why does God continue to work through them and with them.

According to creation scientist Em Adjineri (say it out loud), the definition of a scientific theory is a random guess at explaining things, usually in a supernatural way.

However, the definition of a religion is a model that provides a logical explanation for evidence while accurately predicting future observations.

Which would you rather believe in: a random guess or a logical explanation based on evidence? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Yet people seem to base their entire lives and moral systems on a hypothesis that they cannot even verify or falsify in principle, much less with available evidence.

Does anybody else find it extremely strange that people have so much faith in an unverifiable hypothesis?

I'm trying to understand a small and subtle detail: what is the difference between "telling the truth" and candidness. Another way of describing this is by saying that we can make statements that are truthful, but not entirely candid. For example, I could say, "I'm doing well" in response to a question about my health. In the larger scheme of my life, I may be doing well. HOWEVER, I may also neglect to mention that I had been severely sick - even though, I've recovered. In essence, I haven't told a lie. I'm doing well. But, I haven't been candid either - thereby creating a barrier between myself and the person asking the question

It seems to me that the more educated a person the less likely he is to be religious and the poor families seem to embrace it. Is this because poor families are holding on to religion as their one last hope? Studies have even shown that when people go from from rags to riches that their religious beliefs go out the window. Is this because they feel their prayers have been answered or because they figured out that their hours of praying have gotten no results and their wealth was a product of their own actions?

He thinks you will:

Have some extra cash? Feel like going to heaven? Then you might consider sending Ted Haggard and his family some monthly checks for the next two years while they move into a halfway house and get psychology and counseling degrees from the University of Phoenix.

If you haven't had enough of the Haggard/New Life Church saga, this week KRDO Channel 13 in Colorado Springs aired a story about a letter that Haggard sent to consumer reporter Tak Landrock, letting him know of the Haggard family plans to move into the Phoenix Dream Center to minister to ex-cons, recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and "other broken people," Haggard writes. "I identify."......

Genesis Chapter 6
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4. There were giants [nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

He was obviously set on the idea of building up a mormon city, or zion. The large migrations were what caused all the problems in the first place. People didn't want the mormons to take over the political vote, and they didn't want them to take over all their land. If they just stayed where they were instead of all migrating to one place they would have had a much easier time. For this reason alone, I think Joseph Smith was a fraud with his "visions" of a modern day Jerusalem. God, supposedly knowing everything, would have known a better way of doing things. They didn't then, and still haven't built a modern day Jersualem. I don't see it ever happening in the future either.
