Religion & Spirituality - 11 September 2007

I want to know, what does it mean when it says in the bible 'there is no law, becouse law is punishment. Does it mean we experience God grace all the way and does it also means there is no law ( human made) that will give us trouble so it means we are free? please explain

Is not Love, Compassion, the deeper Truth of All Spirituality?

Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give to this world and one another.
-Ram Dass

Namaste

Peace and Love

I am a muslim who lives in a country that has one of the highest Islamic education in the world...............How is it that I dont know of any terrorist ............and was never taught to hate the west and bomb people -- those things is not what Islam is all about.

1. So who framed Islam on 9/11 ?
2. Isnt it a coincident that Islam forbids alchohol, drug, pornography, gambling .........all the more reason to frame it?
3. Isnt it a coincident that Islam is the fastest growing religion ..........all the more reason to frame it as "terrorist"

It's one thing to want friends, it's another to want them all to love you unconditionally... and then it's quite another thing to have everyone who doesn't love you unconditionally tortured for eternity.

What does god need our love for anyway? Isn't he perfect? Perfection implies completeness... there should be no need for anything.

One other thing... Isn't he all knowing? If this is the case he already knows who is going to "choose" him and who is going to "reject" him. This makes the idea of Hell even more cruel since he is punishing people for doing what he knew they couldn't help doing. They were bound in their destiny to "choose" this path. If god creates us all and knows us all, then his punishment is not only cruel, but unnecessary.

I will believe any Muslim who swears to Allah that they dont know of any Muslims who have ever celebrated 911 in any way.

Keep in mind, by my count, there are many many Muslim answering 911 questions on YA right now. Lets see how many will repeat the following:

"I AM A MUSLIM, AND I SWEAR TO ALLAH THAT I HAVE NEVER CELEBRATED 911 NOR HAVE I EVER MET OR KNOWN OF ANY MUSLIMS WHO DID."

Anything other than these exact sentiments is a refusal, leaving open the inference that they have or have known Muslims who have celebrated 911.

Keep in mind, there is NO PROHIBITION IN ISLAM TO MAKE SUCH OATHS. NO MUSLIM CAN POST ANY CITATION TO THE QURAN THAT SAYS OTHERWISE. ITS NOT AGAINST ISLAM TO MAKE THIS OATH AT ALL.

I love the Lord and everything he's helped me to see. Right now I feel so weak and need his security blanket around me. I don't feel like I can go one without Him by my side. I don't feel like my faith is as strong as it used to be, but I recognized his power and strength all around me. How can I regain his trust so that he knows my heart again?

Has anyone out there listened to ""Catholic Answers Live""? "Catholic Answers Live" is a 2-hr call-in radio show (similiar to the Bible Answer Man), and every show covers different topics. Once a month they dedicate a show for non-Catholics to call in. Here is a link to this months archived show ( in mp3 format):

Or do you claim that they don't have the true religion and are therefore inferior?

Islam is not a harmful religion by ANY means. Like any other religion, it teaches its people to defend itself when its being attacked, whether the muslim countries or the religion itself.

Now listen to this: People always, ALWAYS confuse a religion with its so-called "people". I quote the word "people" because many of these "muslims" who go around saying that theyre proud or grateful about the 9/11 attacks are not muslims at all, because Islam would never permit that unless America DIRECTLY attacked Iraq, like they are doing now, bombing its people endlessly.

Islam is a peaceful religion. Please, PLEASE DO NOT, like i said above, confuse it with people who walk around calling themselves muslims. Like any other religion, people who say they follow it are not always carrying that religion around truly in their hearts.

If you have some sort of issue with Islam, go and find out more about it rather than believing everything you see on CNN.

I had started a new job that morning, and was in the middle of an orientation. The moderator left the room for a few minutes, came back, and told us that the World Trade Center had been attacked, as well as the Pentagon. We retreated to an area where we were able to watch it all unfold on TV. The enormity of it all hit me that night, as I sat and watched people leaping to their deaths from dozens of stories up, while I sat comfortably on my couch. I felt both sad and guilty.

It was a surreal experience, and one I hope I never have to go through again.

On this day above all, I hope that all of us -- regardless of your beliefs or practices -- are able to find peace.

Should the occasion be marked by everyone with a few moments of quiet reflection on the evil people will sometimes do in the name of religion?

And we might usefully use the time to remember that 9/11 wasn't the first atrocity perpetrated in the name of religion, and it won't be the last.

Your thoughts?

Now let me explain something to those of you who may have faith but are very simplistic and don't understand the enormous and complex reality that we live in. There are many people out there whos intellects are pretty much huge, and can blow us out of the water, they design economic structures, affect the world system, own lots of money and are generally very powerful people.

How they operate? Million of thoughts a minute, very fast paced, and if they use their thoughts and abilities for evil, they can accomplish lots and fool many, to get their way. Agressive I guess.

This somewhat describes the devil, out there like a "roaming lion" seeking to devour whoever, yadda yadda.
there are many faithless people out there, who ONLY get by on their intellect.

How do you fight something that's so strong? You can't really go to a corporation and blow it up LOL.

My faith made me a bit "different," and that made people laugh at me, because I seemed out of the norm.

:sigh:

I'm talking about the 3,000+ civilians (non-combatants) who died in Afghanistan and the 70,000+ civilians who have thus far died in Iraq.

I know it's important to remember the Americans who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center. However, the wars we have started as a result of 9/11 have killed more innocent people than were killed in the World Trade Center attacks.

I think we ought to remember those innocents as well.

In the most recent video/audio message from Osama Bin Laden, he called for a caravan of martyrs to "aid...the Omnipotent." Doesn't this seem like a contradiction? IF "Allah" is omnipotent, why would he/she/it need "aid"? Seems to me that Allah needs to be continually propped up (as any idol is). If "Allah" (or whoever he/she or it is) wants infidels killed of expelled from Islamic lands why can't he/she/it do it him/her/itself? If a "god" boasts of strength, then let its strength be revealed by its own work and not that of those who profess, propagate or invent the dogmas and doctrines concerning this deity.
