Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2007

when someone agnostic or atheist finally finds God and discovers their spiritual path....but NOT in your religion or according to your scriptural version of God?

Do you think God can only be found in YOUR choice of holy scriptures or books or beliefs, traditions etc?

or do you just feel happy they found God, in whatever way God chose to be revealed to them?

lets say X country gets in war against Y, a random religious soldier from X goes and kills 100 children and then dies in combat, then a random non-religious soldier from Y kills himself because he can't stand war.

which one goes to hell?

For example, an x-tain told me that Leviticus 20:13 "literally referred to homosexuality:" If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Uh...literally, it doesn't I told him. He was completely confused and had no clue of the irony of his contradiction.

It can't be literal and figurative at the same time. x-tains can't have it both ways.

I was told "don't stop until you get enough"? Enough what? Enough Jesus? Is this an off the wall idea?

The explain intuition?
instinctive knowledge: the state of being aware of or knowing something without having to discover or perceive it, or the ability to do this...

2. instinctive belief: something known or believed instinctively, without actual evidence for it
Many mother's have this keen sense as their love for a child, even studies on identical twins show they can sense what the other is feeling.
If our brain can sense what is not evident than that includes the hearing of GOD. Prayer is when you hear the voice of GOD because our brain was developed for this purpose and everything that follows.... So explain intuition????

I realize that there are many of you who can't avoid the same weary rhetoric as “I love fiction” or “I don’t waste my time with garbage”. That is fine; I just thought I would let you know that my time won’t be wasted by reading them. By now most of us have you noted & just skip over you and if we don’t know you after a few words we realize your garbage and just skip the rest.

Here is a passage from Newsweek article
"Muslim American advocates have critiqued the press coverage of the Pew study, saying it focused too much on the bad news and not enough on the good. The bad news, however, bears repeating: 26 percent of Muslims age 18 to 29 believe that suicide bombing can be justified. Thirty-eight percent of that group believe that Arabs did not carry out the 9/11 attacks. These data, combined with the rising religious conservatism of young Muslim Americans, have led some experts to argue that differences between Europe and America have been overblown, that affluence and education do not inoculate a society against radicalization. "This idea that all those who are middle class are exempted from extremism has always been false," says Geneive Abdo, author of "Mecca and Main Street." "The leadership of the extremist movements have always been highly educated Muslims."

Specific definitions of the Trinity provided by respondents to my Trinity Question Part I had several things in common: all three persons make up one God, each of the three persons is distinct, each of the three persons is co-eternal, none is afore or after other, none is greater or lesser than other; and each have glory equal and majesty co-eternal. How can this teaching be reconciled with Mark 13:32 where Jesus said nobody knows the day or hour except God? If Jesus is God the son, the second person of the Trinity, why did he not know? If, as some say, he was limited by his human flesh, why didn't God the Holy Spirit – the third person - know? Moreover, if, as some say, God is unlimited in power, how is it that inferior, sinful human flesh limited him from knowing the day and hour?

America was founded as a Christian Nation, but liberals won't be happy until they've ruined the principles of our forefathers, and have created an atheist state.

1) Liberals don't have no moral values.
2) Although the bible prooves that we was created by Gawd, liberals teach the kids that we evolved from a bunch of monkeys. That's the public school system for ya.....
3) Kids don't get to pray in school no more.
4) Liberals are trying to destroy marriage by letting gays marry. What next, dogs?

On Sept. 11, 1857, a wagon train passing through a corner of Utah was tricked into laying down their arms with a promise of safe passage, and then killed by Mormons. The Mormon church still hasn't apologized.

Is it time for an apology? Its been 150 years!

For example me. I'm gay. Yes I don't mind saying it. Why would you want to hate me because I'm gay. You don't know me right. But why all the hate in this world. Can't we all just get along like brothers and sisters and learn to live in peace by accepting one another for who and what they are. So ask yourself these questions if you hate people like me. Why do you hate someone for being different? Why do you hate someone you don't even really know? Why? I haven't done anything wrong to you but why would you hate me still for being gay. I'm human. I'm just like you. But you still hate me because I'm gay? You know... I have feeling to. I'm just like you in every way. If someone hurts my feelings I cry also. If I get cut I also bleed. But even though you still hate me for being gay. I may be gay but I have never and will never hate another human being. In gods eyes we are all brothers and sisters.
