Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2007

i am an older guy that has read and listened about religion for years, but this part baffles me as to why? god created everything to include angels and satan,who i guess was an angel to, satan went bad, god cast him out, god made the earth and (us) his children, god said to satan you can have which ever of my kids that dont cut the mustard and obey my rules to do with whatever you want to,, my question is why, why didnt he just eliminate satan then and there permanantly he created satan so he could get rid of satan to,, why the game

claim to love the Lord yet they are so disrespectful and intolerant of others and their beliefs?? I would love to name a few of these people but I wont.
In their profiles they have written that they love the Lord but if they really do then surely they would be respectful and tolerant of others as the Lord teaches us to be.

If you are Atheist/Agnostic the question is: If there was a being who was all knowing and all seeing that existed through all time, what would existence look like through it's eyes?

It's still illegal to kill people. Still illegal to molest children. We have changed none of the "moral" laws.
I hate to clue people in, but prayer is still allowed at school, it just can't be school sponsered on school time. What's wrong with that? No one is forcing you to stop your religion, just to not impose it on others. How is that attacking your personal morals?

The "morning star" is the brightest sentinel of the night sky. People of the distant past depended upon the stars for guidance. They were largely obligated to astronomical patterns for both seasonal and directional guidance. Today's sophisticated radios, computers, and radar have taken us far beyond the light of stars, but our fascination with Stars remain.

What are some ways the "morning star" mirrors the ministry of our Lord.

Revelation 22:16
"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the "BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR".

What are your thoughts on this verse?

Is it possible for two people to alternate every other day in saying that they know that the next day is "the day" ?

I know this sounds goofy, but when I was young, I figured that the way I could avoid the 2nd coming of Christ was to say the the day I was in was the day I thought he was coming.
I would say this to "postpone" the Apocalypse. I was only 5 or six at the time but as an adult now, I wonder if this theory is correct. Being such a small and naive child at the time had me thinking of a way to avoid having so many people perish.

I have yet to meet a pastor/preacher who could answer this.

My husband is in the Army and we have been transferred to a location that I cannot say, and there are no Catholic Churches in the area but an Anglican Church, a person I met who is also a Catholic said she goes to that Church as it is the same as a Catholic Church and receives Holy Communion

Is this allowed or not?

Immense, unstoppable, furious, mighty.
Why does He love us?
We don’t deserve it, but we need it.
Imagine a world without His love.
No kindness, no light, no warmth
Just dark, endless cold darkness stretching into eternity.
But He loves us, wants us..even likes us? Hard to believe but its true.
He wants to save us, save us from our selves. But there’s only one way.
It will cost so much….Yet He chooses it
A pinprick of light in the dark.
A star above a stable, piercing the night’s sky.
A host of heavenly angels, lovingly addressing a group of simple shepherds.
The chasm is closing, the gap between man and God is being bridged.
Through a baby. A normal insignificant baby.
The power, majesty and might of God concealed within an crying infant.
O but what a price. Nails in His hands, spear in His side, a crown of thorns upon His head.
The throne of heaven exchanged for a crude, wooden cross.
And as the jeers, catcalls and cheers surround Him, he is silent, thinking only of them, His children.
As He shoulders their sin, their transgressions, their iniquities, His Father weeps.,
Knowing what He must do and so.. He pours out His wrath, His fury, His anger on His only begotten Son.
There, on a cross, surrounded by thieves the Prince of Glory cries “It is finished!“
And He dies, dies for us.
He suffered this for you..what have you done for Him?

they are expensive...like $1 a pop. no wonder poor people have so many damn kids, they can't afford condoms.

don't you think it makes sense to subsidize condoms instead of subsidizing people's children that they can't afford to care for?

I am seeking here to clarify the teachings of the Koran. Does the Koran teach that given a position of power Muslims should impose Islam ? Would they be tolerant and allow democracy to rule ? The contrast here is with America, where Christianity is dominant, but America is not a Theocracy, though admittedly some Christians there would like it to be. The Bible does not have a lot to say about the State and governance whereas the Koran appears to have a lot to say about it. Am I right in saying that Christianity is all about the individual whereas Islam is all about power and control of communities.

My family goes to church on Sundays but I stay home. It's my free alone time so I tend to masterbate. I don't want to go to hell but I don't really believe in God. I used to attend church with my family until I lost belief in God. I have seen awful things happen to good people and I have lost faith. I don't understand why those who do good in this world have heartaches happen to them or illnesses.

I really can't say much about it because it's not my personal matter but someone close. What happening shouldn't be right. Please pray and thank you.

...that technically, Venus must be hotter than Hell. The logic was that: Hell has a pit of molten sulfer, which turns to gas at a certain temperature. Therefore, Hell must be below that temperature, and Venus is above that temperature.

I'm not sure if it's true--does anyone know???

value our freedoms and even fight and die for those freedoms....but when it comes to religion some of us denigrate and belittle people who don't believe/agree with us. Why do some of us do that? It comes across as Anti-American...it's not what we're supposed to be about as a people.

I'm an American Atheist who just doesn't get it.
