Religion & Spirituality - 11 September 2007

I tried Salvation Army, but, it seems like , I don't know, I was just starting to pudge out. Then I went to the Catholic charities, and , well you get tired of eating wafers all the time, and you never know if they have nuts in them, so I was thinking, maybe I will try the Atheist soup kitchen, I hear they have a Scientific weight loss program.

What do people who follow Scientology believe happens to us after we die? Also why do women have to be silent while giving birth? When i gave birth, I was far from that, LOL

Whereas China and India, whom God largely ignored until the 15th century, grew to 1/3 of the total world population? Do religions have anything to do with this? Or is it just because of circumcision?

If you look at the bibles we have today. like the KJV. And you look at the oldest transcripts available,( I m talking centuries ago ) there are so many differences. Some of the stories such as when Jesus saved the women from being stoned were not in any of the original transcripts that were available and this story just showed up in the 12th century. So how can we say that It is truly gods word.. Before the invention of the printing press the only way to get a copy of something was to write. And old manuscripts have shown that many of the copiests have changed what was written from some of the manuscript s that they were copying from. Sometimes it was unintentional and sometimes it was deliberate. Since we no longer have the original manuscripts of any of the gospels and other books in the bible , How can we know what was the original word? since all we have are copies of copies of copies. Which have been proved to have been changed .

I can't figure out what people mean when they say the US Constitution is based on Judeo-Christian principles. Which principles do you mean? Can you name one such principle and why you think that is from the Judeo-Christian tradition.

I know that you cannot wear a cross or have them displayed in your homes. What about angels? Are they banned as well? A friend of mine bought a pretty angel figurine as a birthday gift for someone she works with that is LDS. Now she's wondering if Mormon's are allowed to have them. How do you feel about having angels other than Moroni on display?

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (KJV)

How does the Schoolmaster bring us to Christ?

I made a promise to God that I will do my best to endure the emotional pain I deal w/at school. I have major issues about people making fun of me. NO matter how hard I try I can't get away w/the thought of people always thinking I smell. This lead me to break into tears like a cry baby and confronted the person whom I felt was mocking me. But what a fool I was to confide in an enemy and yet seek for her to understand my situation. I alreayd made the mistake and despite reading the bible, listening to christian songs and praying I have fallen. I just don't know what to do when I go back to school (college)..Should I act as if it didn't happen. I fell so just get back up and continue to hold on and trust in God? I feel so disappointed in me. Bible this, God this and I failed him by breaking down in class and having people know my weakness...I wanna change but why is it sooo difficult...I don't wanna keep failing God but it's so hard to change...

Quite a while back I said I would let everyone know how it turned out when I suddenly lost my job through very unfair circumstances. Today I was hired for a job with more pay, more benefits, better hours. I just want to say please rejoice with me! Halleluiah! glory to God in the highest. And thanks to all those who prayed. question. Do you remember me saying I lost my job awhile back? I was pretty devestated. Was replaced so the boss could give her daughter a job. Now the daughter quit, and she wanted me back but I am at a better position.

Physics has proven religion wrong in many ways, like before the church used to say everything revolved around us, science proved that wrong. And other things as well. And now religion is trying to tie in with some science so they won't be claimed false.

I'm Christian, but there's just too many things interfering with religion that's making me doubt it.

It took the church hundreds of years to get used to the idea of a heliocentric solar system.... Any bets on if majority of people in the world will figure out that evolution is a fact any time soon?

I am contemplating my belief in god and everything I have ever stood for in religion. My first form of questioning was Everything happens for a reason. I seriously question that on. I completely believed in it for so long and then my grandmother dies. We knew she was dying. It was cancer. I was especially close to her. But it was OK because we talked and she said she would show me a sign if she could. I have yet to hear from her. It has been 3 years. NO MAGIC! Now I am questioning everything and I'm 39 years old! What the hell? Can someone tell me if this is right?

I have heard this argument.
If intolerance to gays is not accepted, then you are intolerant.
Akin, in perhaps a more severe form, to if you are intolerant of the KKK, then you are intolerant?
Logic or smoke and mirrors??

Atheists need not answer, but your answers are normally funny so go ahead anyway.

Everyone says you need to have a personal relationship with God, so to me that means treat Him like your friend. So I do. I told someone that when I go to heaven God and I are going to have a pillow fight (yes, I was kidding) and they got all offended because im disrespectful to God. I dont get it, how so?

Aren't Christians supposed to be honest, so why can't I be honest about the errors in the Bible without people calling me an unbeliever. Would I be a believer if I lied and claimed the Bible contains no lies or distortions, when every Christian who is honest with himself knows they exist in fairly large numbers?

Can you give up the story that you are imperfect? If God is perfect, and nature is perfect, then why do we believe that humans are the only imperfect creations of God?
