Religion & Spirituality - 15 September 2007

....when people say things like "I prayed to god that the boy I like would ask me out and he did!" Everytime I see things like that I just have to chuckle a little bit. One girl actually answered a question by saying that she prayed to god that she would have fun at camp and she did and then she prayed that some boy would ask her to some dance and he did! So obviously prayer works! Riiiiiiiiight....god just sits up in his LazyBoy deciding which boys will ask out which girls instead of worrying about world hunger and genocide and other things that actually matter.

All that humanity has created since eating the fruits of knowledge has in some way been integral to destroying, "... the Earth that God so Loves." and wasn't that the Serpent's plan?

Perhaps Genesis and Evolution are both true.

No matter how much of an attempt Christian apologetics make towards making people believe that Christianity rises above the contentions put forward by skeptics, the fact of the matter is that no explanation or defense of Christianity can show you that god is real.

That’s why Christians now say that it not with “man’s understanding, but by god’s understanding” that we can know for certain of God’s realness. They proclaim to skeptics that god can only be understood in a spiritual, esoteric sense by taking your heart to god.
Basically, these Christians who say that they know FOR CERTAIN, certain that god is real feel that they have felt that indescribable spiritual “knowingness” of god’s existence.

If you believe it, how can you believe it is set forth directly as God's Word without any qualifications?

All the good rules to live by out there, and not enough people living by them. There are rules of kindness and honesty in basically all religions, but people tend to focus on the odd rules that allow bigotry, judging (usually false) and self-righteous indifference. Even the most basic social rules of conduct and interaction are ignored on a regular basis. What causes otherwise intelligent people to behave this way?
I've asked this before, but wasn't real impressed with many of the answers.

He kicked all the other gods of the haven
That sounds selfish to me...
He wants to role alone and doesn’t share with no one…

He throws every one who doesn’t agree with him to hell
What about freedom of speech
This guy, angel Lucifer
He didn’t like how god runs things so god threw him to jail
Sounds just like another dictator, with secret police and all.

Forgiveness is gained from the most merciful and forgiving God by simply asking for forgiveness sincerly in the heart.

According to your bible, god hardens the heart of people who turn away from him.
He kills people like lots wife who turned around.
god sends judgment on all the unbelievers.
Christians say all the time that we are born into sin because of Adam.
Therefore, even if the devil didn't exist, you would still sin because of original sin.
WHY THEN, OH WHY DOES YOUR GOD CREATE THE DEVIL?
Stay tuned for another edition of atheism beats Christianity again.

I don't think pre-marital sex is wrong. I feel people are being cruelly judged for no reason when all they are doing is enjoying something God gave them. Now many may give some bible verses or talk about stds and pregnancies. People use things against pre-marital sex such as soul bonding, one flesh, body being a living temple, marry or burn. I have read it all, yes i own a bible. But God never said anything against it in the bible once. People set up each of those verses against it. There are many examples in the bible that shows God doesn't care nor will he punish that. How can 2 people loving eachother responsibly be a sin. God is not the Terminator, he's not a bully. He doesn't go down streets bullying people and picking on them and he doesn't scare them. He doesn't set people up for failure, giving them desires he created and then telling them they are wrong and given by the devil. Im not giving the devil any credit for what God created. If anyone wants to comment feel free to.

I pray and have great faith in God but I still think, we will have to wait for some reason to enter His kingdom. Paradise is promised in the bible and only can one get there through Jesus Christ, whom I adore but it does not mention if this will be immediate. What do you think you know?

Its the time of year that all Muslims fast. As I got older I questioned the things fed to me over the years and I became an atheist. Today I just got off from an 8 hour shift-I'm tired and thirsty. But I can't go into the kitchen to grab a drink because my relative are over and I can't let them know that I left Islam. Id be very shameful for my family and they'd shun me...Although I think they're the ones who should be ashamed. This is the type of stuff that keeps me from progressing by about forgetting the cult-Islam. What do I do?
