Come on now,Christians.
You mean to tell me your bible is without error???
Don't you know astronomy.
The earth rotates around the sun, not vice versa.
Why then, oh why, does your perfect bible say Joshua stopped the sun?
Stay tuned for atheism beats Christianity again chapter 10

The soul never dies only the physical vehicle wears out and stops. However, there are always more physical vehicles being conceived that the soul can migrate to just before the physical vehicle is given is given its independence from a woman's womb.

I know people will shout at me for my ignorance, but plese try to use tiny little words so I can understand.

I thought it was just a refusal to believe in God, but apparently I was really off the mark. There seems to be much more to it than that. Do Atheists shun religion altogether? Is there a moral or ethical code? Or are all Atheists "self-styled"?

No links please.

And this is genuine curiousity here. I am honestly confused on this topic and would like not to offend any Atheists on Y!A or anywhere else.

How to cope with wavering thoughts?
Versatile are flying clouds,
Yet from the sky they’re not apart.
Mighty are the ocean’s waves,
Yet they are not separate from the sea.
Heavy and thick are banks of fog,
Yet from the air they’re not apart.
Frantic runs the mind in voidness,
Yet from the Void it never separates.

-Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa

Namaste

Peace and Love

Looking back on my past and how I was before I met Christ makes me think of how I got through it not having a strong relationship with him. Having been through foster care and adoption, my past was hard and it brought me to many bridges and obstacles that I didn’t know if I could overcome. I felt alone, and as if something was missing.
When I was placed into my second foster home, I met someone who truly touched my life. I gained happiness and security from her, and soon began to feel wanted again. She became to be one of the biggest influences on my life in becoming stronger with my faith.
Although I did know Christ through people around me that knew him, I didn’t have a strong relationship with him. It never really clicked that he was the thing that was missing, until later on, when everything started to crumble around me, and I began to feel so alone, I realized that Christ was the thing I needed all along. I started to understand my past better and began wondering why it all happened the way it did.
By becoming stronger with Christ I slowly began to figure out it all happened for a reason, I wasn’t sure of what this reason was, but I knew that the Lord Jesus Christ did.
I began coming to Lawrence Wesleyan Church in 2000. There was something about this place, It felt good walking in the church, knowing that it was the house of God. I loved the atmosphere of everyone here. For the longest time I was shy to sing, Finally, I asked myself the question, What am I afraid of? Everyone around me was singing, raising there hands up to Christ, and I was just standing there, as If I was out in space. One day, a song came on that I knew well, and I started to sing. The feeling inside of me was powerful, and before the song was over, I found myself in tears. I left church with a smile on my face that day, I’ll never forget that feeling, it was wonderful.
In the past two years, I have noticed, I’ve became imensly closer to christ. My attitude has changed, I spread the word of Christ to anyone that will listen. I think twice before taking actions. When I get upset or angry, I find myself praying to God to help me, to give me the courage and strenghth to get through.
Looking back on all of this makes me smile. Yes, some of the bridges and obstacles that have been placed in front of me have been hard, and I know there will be more in the fute, but I also know that God will never put an obstacle in front of me that I can’t overcome. He has been with me this whole time and He will always be with me in the future.

If population expands infinitely, obviously we will get to a point where there is room for nothing but people, eventually. Is His Holiness depending on God's intervention? If you are a Catholic, do you feel it is sinful to oppose bulldozing forests to build houses?

Homosexuality is an offense against Christian teaching and is also found to be a sin against God in the Old Testament. But these days with Judaism almost anything goes.

With that said is it against Jewish law to be Homosexual?

The reason why I would like to know is because I am writing a blog on "Judaism Exposed: 30 Reasons Why Modern Judaism Isn't The Same Faith That Jesus Practiced And Why The Jews Wanted Jesus Killed."

I am also publishing a little pamphlet for Kids that is the answer to when people say, "well, Jesus was a Jew." Because even though Jesus' flesh was that of a Jew His Mind was not restricted to that of a Jew but His Mind was that of God and the God of the Europeans.

Thanks for your input!!! I Luv Yahoo!!! Have a GREAT day!!!

If you don't understand the question, don't answer it. If you are using this question as a forum to sound off your doctrine of another faith or ignorant racism, I will not hesitate to report you.

If you have a reference, that would be greatly appreciated. All the best and l'shanah tovah.

I'm Wiccan, and the main rule is "An it harme none, do as ye will".

However, I mostly I'm pro-choice. I believe a woman should have the right to do what she wants with her body, as long as the baby isn't too far developed.

I would never ever get an abortion personally- I just think that women deserve the right to it.

My two beliefs are conflicting each other, and I'm not sure what to make of it.

Please, no bashing me. I have my reasons for my beliefs, personal reasons I do not wish to tell others. I just want help, preferably from other pagans or wiccans, about my conflicting beliefs.

I don't think it would be harming the baby if the baby isn't even technically ALIVE, but I don't know. I still think a woman deserves the right, but how much does this conflict with my religion?

(and it also says this in the scriptures) that if you've looked at a
woman (from a boys point of view please) that you've already committed adultery with her? Lust is a sin, but how is it (again from a boys point of view) that you've already committed adultery with her if you looked at her with lust? Just confusing.

My uncle who is in his 50's I believe... looks at porno and buys sex toys on his computer and I asked his little daughter who is like 8 and she said he saw naked ladies on his computer and I went on their computer with his little daughter and his computer had the history and favorites loaded up with porno. He never goes to church and he drinks beer and alcoholic beverages. I really wonder if he is a saved christian or not. He says he is christian but I don't know if he is saved? he cusses when nobody is around and puts on a fake costume by his actions when he is around my family, he acts good around my parents and relatives but he isn't. I wish I could ask him if he is really saved.

Sometimes I feel like there are little reminders left by a higher power. For example, I might have lost something, and I happen to find something that makes me think. Then I know where it is, and in some ways I'm compelled to say thankyou. Or if a particular situation isnt in my favour, I begin asking for the tables to turn, and yet again, when they do, I'm compelled to say thankyou. Have you guys ever had this..? I'm not terribly religious, but I get this nagging feeling sometimes .-.
