Religion & Spirituality - 27 August 2007

then why does God allow it. After all religion teaches that he is the creator of people, and that we are not here because of scientific reasons.

you do that for yourself. Thank yourself -give credit to whom its due- to you. Your own children will teach more than the bible ever could. A nasa photo can teach more about the universe than the bible ever could. Jesus didnt help you lose weight you started exercising...
Wake up please and stop worshiping an ultimatum and fear.
We are in this together.
God if he exists is watching us all turn to sin so he can begin the End of Days???... does any mother or father out there just let your kids do whatever they want- God is not a very good Dad. Or how about our perfect being just do it all right in the first place instead of sending billions of souls to burn in hell-why- because they didnt believe His Son was Him. Huh?!
Or -how about we just made Him up long ago so death and the stars could all make sense.
Lets grow up we own telescopes and with medicine we know why people die. Its not a big mystery folks.
Life after death-only 1 way to find out- what a perfect set-up for religion

What do you believe Islam has to say about all human beings based on the following? Is it surprising to you? Had you heard anything good about Islam at all before?

"We have already seen that every man, whether he belongs to this country or that, whether he is a believer or unbeliever, whether he lives in a forest or in a desert, has certain basic human rights simply because he is a human being. We have seen, too, that it is the duty of every Muslim to recognize these rights."

Its kinda bothering me that because im being acused of showing pride. Is it wrong to give thanks to God for using you? Without God i can't do anything except through him, i can't do anything of myself but i can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. What did Paul say "I thank God that i speak in tongues more than you all" (1 Cor 14: 18). Was he boasting or was he giving thanks to God? Sounds like he was giving thanks so if im in the wrong for thanking God that others see my light shine, then paul is wrong as well but we all know that he isn't. People have told me that my light shines and it made me happy that God is using me to bless others in that manner.

Lets say that you had a near death experience & in this you discover that the religion you hold near & dear to your heart turns out to be a lie. What would you do and why?
This is a serious question. I'd like to hear your deepest thought on this, not a bunch of bull, just to get 2 points.

i have heard so many different stories/biographies about jesus's life. we all know how he was born and what he did, at least according to the bible, but recently my auntie, how is like a knowledge freak, told me that she watched a documentary which suggested that jesus has some descendant of king david who was born into a rich family and worked as a politian like figure preaching good morals and so on. but it states that his followers exageratted his life story so his legacy would live on untill the end of the human race.

my knowledge of religion, in general, is quite limited so could someone please try and clear this matter up? as it is really bothering me, i dont know why but it is

BTW SORRY IF I SEEMED IGNORANT AND NARROW MINDED FROM MY LAST RELIGIOUS QUESTION. which i am in fact actually quite the opposite. i guess my tone suggested otherwise sorry.

the fraud part in the title question was for shock value and to real you guys in sorry.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY LAST QUESTION

I have been told many times that I misunderstand the purpose of prayer. The people I've talked to and the things I've read have not really explained the purpose of prayer in a way I found to be clear. But if their is anything that I believe with 100% certainity it is that there is a reason for every action. People don't things just to do them.

So, if you pray, could you please tell me, in clear and direct language, why you pray?

Yes the question needs clarification. Those who tote their bibles to church every sunday probably believe in god. But... how about those at the top of the churches or the PTL club (praise the lord). How about Jim and Tammy fay Baker? How about all the priests to molest children? How about higher up religious officials who drive exotic sports cars and have big bucks saved up for their retirement.

a total stranger told me that she said: I feel that you are very close to God, and that you pray a lot.

It freaked me out, as I do not know of my exterior or presence as being that way. Yes, I do pray, but doesn't everyone.

You simply cannot debate anything with christians. Every time you start proving them wrong they will say, "oh we are not like those christians they do not follow god as we do".... They expect to win arguements with the F word... faith which by the way is never proveable in a court of law. If christians were in any other context than following god they would be inpatients at mental institutions

"because my religion says it is wrong"

Well other peoples marriage is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Your little book has no merit in dictating other peoples lives, especially in our congress.

What if gay people claim that according to their beliefs, god *does* allow them to marry? Then you can't really tell them no because you are descriminating against someones religious belief. And that is besides the point.

I am of the Christian belief, ie King James, NIV, etc.
I feel that so much is lost in translation that I would like a bible, preferably that contains the Apocrypha, that doesn't flounder when it comes to the translations. If the word means that they have to write out a sentence, so be it, I just don't like it squished into one American word. And yes, I have considered learning Hebrew and Greek, but who has the time to do that? Concordance's just scratch the surface, I want the BIG BOOK with an overkill on correct translation. help please.
