Religion & Spirituality - 16 September 2007

The Archbishop of Canterbury has stated that Prince Charles should not refer to himself as 'defender of the faiths' when he becomes king but should remain exclusively the 'defender of the faith', ie. the christian faith.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6996112.stm

Is the Archbishop right to claim that the Church of England should remain the dominant religion in the UK or should other faiths also be defended by our beloved and noble monarch?

Why are there all skin colors? I mean if Adam and Eve had children together, how could they just randomly change color? And don't say PIGMANTATION, cuz that is science.... MUAHAHAHAHA try coming up with a religious answer for why humans have different skin colors.... and number 2, if incest is wrong, then how are we all here? Someone had to sleep with his sister....

They should be aired on religious channels only. Every Sunday eve BBC1 have Songs of praise on.

Im paying my license fee for that. I can turn it over yes, but the BBC are the ones who are charging for their programmes.

I was baptised lutheran but parents never went to church or anything. Everything I believe in I have come to it myself. Well my children are not baptised and my hubby is roman catholic which he was brought up going to church and praying and whatnot, now I would really like to start going to church but I have no clue on what religion I think I would like or believe in. I do believe in the lord and certain things, I am a very I guess you could say traditional women but I am also open minded and believe I am not here to place judgement. Sometimes I question myself and even if I have faith because of my life and how it has been. But I am asking how do you come to find what religion you want to be ? Do I have to go and like somewhat interview the churches ? Please help with this, I think I owe it to myself and my kids to let them know about faith and church, god and sins and stuff. I also don't want it to be like a chore to go to church or be mostly boring, I have 3 young kids. Thanks

God’s covenant was with Abraham, what Jacob have to do with it? Please: don’t quote any biblical scripture.

I need koran’s references ONLY.

If the Arabs think that they are Ishmael’s descendants, why the Arabs speak Arabic only, instead Hebrew?

If the Arabs think that they are Ishmael’s descendants why the koran indicates that God made His covenant with Isaac and Jacob WITHOUT Ishmael?

If the Arabs are Ishmael’s descendants the son of Abraham, why the koran commands the believers to kill the Hebrews and the Christians?

They lied by pretending to know that that the sun orbited the earth when, in fact, the earth orbits the sun. Copernicus overthrew it around the year 1500.
Most importantly, why would anybody ever follow a church heirarchy again after learning of the b.s. that it spouted for centuries? If they lied once, they'll lie again and they've probably always lied.

why is it okay, in our society, that in public schools, or pretty much anywhere, its okay to talk about all religions and mythical gods, but everyone is totally opposed to Christianity? if you don't believe, then why would it make a difference to you?

is it because you know that Christianity is right and you're just afraid?



Jesus is amazing.



He loves you, whether you dont belive in him, if you hate christians, if you are a murderer..
Jesus loves you NO MATTER WHAT.

God Bless.

I never considered it before until I was studying another philosophy, one whose founder had many great one-liners. I found it remarkable but I’m easily impressed, and expect little from life.

Im confused...

Because if they dont believe then they should just feel NUETRAL with what the theists are saying and not feel DEFENSIVE.

Can anyone can explain the difference between the Methodist church and Baptist?
I was wondering why my pastor ( Baptist) said that you can get saved in a Methodist church but not in any other church (besides Methodist &Baptist)? I was afraid to ask him why
I have a problem I have been praying about for a long time. I live in a very small town and attend a Baptist church. Lately I have found out some things about the people in the church which I think is crazy. The sunday school teacher on a weekly weekend drinking binge, the pastors wife repremending dressing in slacks not dresses, my kids coming home telling me they learned that Methodists are nuts and families leaving the church all the time I am not sure what to do. My kids & I are seeing all the wrong in the people at the church as well & it is really putting a toll on our family
We live 2hrs away from another church. I am so sad I do not know what to do!I love Jesus &want to worship on Sundays I am so confused.

Now, I just had a bowl of science this morning for breakfast, but dangit, you atheist, evolutionist types are doing all kinds of Dr. Mengele experiments on the folks swinging in my family tree. Just last week, cousin Fredo, from the Bronx came home with two middle legs, and Aunt Lucky, bless her, now looks like a cross between Britney Spears and Whoopi. Aunt Lucky is also now worried about the fires of hell, and whether it is hot enough to melt her silicone implants, so, you evolutionist types out there, could you just experiment on yourself for a change? Before there are no monkeys left?

I never have, in fact, that person feels that he/she is home at last, but when it comes to a Catholic converting to, say, Bible-fundamentalism, after hearing evangelists' opinions, that person becomes hateful of the religion he/she left.

it was said that you will know the tree by its fruit.

really, it makes me think....
