Religion & Spirituality - 20 September 2007

The number 5 doesn't exist. Show me a 5... go ahead.... you can't. But you can show me a hand that has the attribute "five fingers". The same can be said of God. We can debate the attributes of God all day (can anything be all powerful, etc) and they exist as concepts. But God, an entity, does not exist.

One form of scientific materialism is that matter is the essence of existence. In that view, we study matter because we want to study what is real, not imaginary things. This view is not in opposition to spirituality because our thoughts, our mind, etc. are just an expression of the essence of existence, whether we call it matter is irrelevant.

However, a stronger form of scientific materialism insist on an interpretation of matter in which our thoughts and our mind cannot participate in any fundamental laws like the ones we have in chemistry, biology, etc. In this view, the study of the mind and thoughts is only useful to help pathological cases like in psychology.

Before you say that the mind and our thoughts are not reliable enough to participate in fundamental laws, consider the fact that some forms of mediation has been shown to have *systematic* effects on our body and even on our environment.

Do you believe in the Divine Christian God, or do you believe in another form of God or a god? Why or why not?

Seriously I know we hung a monkey for being a French man during the Napoleonic War here in England and that was stupid.

But does this take the biscuit for silly lawsuits?
Does it also imply if a court finds God responsible for these crimes, then Satan is innocent?

I have not read in King James Version the words Saturday or Sunday as Sabbath days. I have read the seventh day of the week which should be Sabbath day. The day following it is the first day of the week.

If the Jews claim that Saturday is Sabbath day, then their first day of the week would be Sunday.

If the Christians claim that Sunday is their Sabbath day, then their first day of the week would be Monday.

John 20:1, KJV, states: “The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.”

Please note that it was the first day of the week.

John 20:19 states: “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.”

that religious people are the most judgemental people in this world. such an ugly trait. If i don't believe exactly what you believe I'm wrong and probably not going to be saved.

Carrie Underwood's newest video is getting SIX HOURS of straight airplay on CMT today. It is expected to play 66 times in 6 hours. (Hmmm... 666?)

Is this the incarnation of Hell on Earth? Are these the end times? Will anyone be able to watch her video that many times in a row and not burst into flames?

.What is an Anulled Marriage?
Is a marriage considered Anulled when a wife refuses to sleep with her husband? Or after how long will it be considered anulled in Islam.
Is there any proof that the marriage is anulled..like any document showing that the marriage is anulled,like we have for divorce,specially in USA.

Or, judging by the sad, and sorry state of the world, if there is a God then He/She/It, is not a very nice God. However, I am open to persuasion and sound, reasonable, logical argument.

To those of you who do believe - how would you persuade me to change me mind?

Surely not Hell, since he resides there now.

Not Heaven eventhough Heaven for eternity would be punishment for Satan. For one, with Satan there it would no longer be Heaven. And having Satan in Heaven wouldn't be fair to the other residents.

No Limbo since that is reserved for unbaptized babies and it no longer exists (according to the Catholic Church)

So where will Satan be sent?
