Religion & Spirituality - 22 September 2007

Im doing my clinical rounds @ a hospital in a town populated w/a fair amount of Jewish people . So when we get there Sat morning about 730a all of the buttons are pushed on the elevators and we stop at each floor on the way up. We didnt know why each afternoon it was "fixed". So then today someone said it has to do with the Jewish religion and them not doing any work? To push the button I guess? Does anyone know or can explain this to me, Im very curious about it and miraculously many people @ the actual hospital dont even know!

It seems logical since religious people are bound to ignorant religious beliefs, like "everyone who is not part of my religion is hoing to Hell." Whereas non-religious people realize that it's all BS anyway.

Do you feel it makes you better. Is it what God would do? I will answer that myself, it is not. I love God and so I strive to be better. I have been an arguer too but we must love not attack. Why can't people see that? Any answers

you want world peace?
you want people to understand your point of view better?
all you want is WANT!
if you all would just take a chill pill here, things in this crooked world just might run a bit smoother.
so take a breather, relax from telling everyone else how they are wrong & how there may or may not be a god, & answer more of my silly questions (it's a start at least!)....

There is all kind of stuff in there, and yes I am talking old testement. That is part of the bible so must be tjhe word of god, right? There is murder, rape, incest and genocide all over the place. And this is the book we look to to understand the world?

Why do we believe that? Isn't that a little arrogant given the fact that we have zero proof of god's existance (that is why it's called faith) but what if we made first contact with someone else in the universe. And when it came time to talk about religion we would say, the creator of you and your planet looks like we do! They would probably laugh!

I am a strong christian. I have a solid relationship with God and I repent my mistakes and ask for forgiveness for my sins daily. I do bad things and I wish I didn't do them.

But... what do you all think of someone who calls you insane and a bad christian for no reason other than his or her opinion. In my case... it's a guy who just wants lots of attention n always thinks he is right.... but he doesn't and never did care to stop and think of my perspective and never will because he refuses willingly. These words straight from his mouth, not quoted of course.


So I know he will read this question... because he is probably dying to crucify me in any way he can.... just for the fun of it.

What do you all think of someone who says another person's faith is not strong.... to say someone else's faith is corrupt.

I asked a question about "Catholics" today, and someone corrected me by asking if I meant "Roman Catholics" instead.
Is there a type of Catholic that does not come from Romania?

My personal feeling is that having a sexual relationship between the same sex is against God's plan of salvation. (LDS)

However, I think I am at least tolerant of it. In the past I have had many wonderful friends who have choosen to live differently then how I believe we should.

I am a little nervous though because my teenager step daughter is dating a girl and I have mixed feelings on what I should be teaching my daughter.

I don't want to hurt my step daughters feelings (i don't want her to feel not welcome in our home or accpected) but I feel that it is my duty to teach my daughter God's teaching (including loving one another).

As of right now, I have asked my hubby to not allow his daughter to bring her girlfriend to our house until I figure out how I should handle this.

What do you think? How would you handle this...

Thanks.

Most people who say they believe in god, don't actually believe IN god, they believe in the BELIEF in god. All religious beliefs are very old. Those who believe in god and have religion as the guide, are believing the same things, (and viewing the world the same way) as those who lived long ago.

Christians say that the world has changed and the bible has stayed the same? That is my point, how can a book written by humans who lived long ago, when knowledge of the world was limited, offer any insights into the world. The world has indeed changed but religion keeps the world in the dark.

He said, he won't married a woman who doesn't have a religion.

My parent are muslims. He is a muslim too, they think that I should Muslim too.
I personally don't believe in religion because I feel that it a way to control people.
I respect him and his belief, but he has problem accepting what I believe.
It's just hard because I accept him for who he is, do and believe but he has problem with mine.

He said we can be boyfriend and girlfriend but nothing more unless I practice Islam because my parent are Muslim.

What do you think?
Should I be in the relationship anyways?
I am just confuse now, he is good, kind and everything I am looking for. It's just that it's my life too and I want to be happy too and don't want to force myself into anything.

I don't mind praticing it. It's just that I feel that God will love me and hear me no matter what I believe.

Are 'soup-kitchens', or feeding people from the public for free, a valid method of charitable donation? Do they do any good at all, or are they just what amounts to 'feeding the birds'? I don't really mean to be cold here, but Jesus did have something to say about 'birds' (being satan, gobbling up the misplaced seed) and 'dogs' (begging under the tables, feeding off the crumbs and leftovers). I recently found a soup-kitchen ministry near my residence...some of them don't look so good...and seem to need something healthy to eat. Opinions?

Some guy on here said that God had nothing to do with AIDS. According to religion, that makes no sense. So God created everything else in the world except for AIDS? Silly. Religious people can be weird sometimes.

It doesn't seem like it would hurt anything and might help in some ways.

in our culture (American) we are referred to as girls and not women while men still get to be called men? You dont see too many men referenced as "boys" I have seen women on reality shows be referenced as "girls" up until the age of 35. This doesnt seem to be only on reality shows but on alot of our media. What are your thoughts?
