Religion & Spirituality - 24 September 2007

Kind of like Star Trek - and now the Christians are all just "Trekkies", believing somehow that it is a true story.

and which do you prefer and why?

Yesterday I was high up on a moor in the North of England, at a neolithic stone circle, celebrating Alban Elued/Mabon/Autumn Equinox (delete as applicable lol) The rain was lashing down, the wind was howling across the hills, and yet I would still prefer to be up there as it certainly ives you a much better feel for the turning of the wheel! How about you?

Now that you have established yourselves here in Yahoo, don't you think the next step to take would be to spread your wings? Perhaps a Wikipedia article? Surely, you wish to spread the news of His-Saucy-Goodness?

I was talking to my mother about her belief in jesus and from what I gathered, the things she reveres most about the icon (i.e. kindness, charity, love for your fellow man, etc.) are all ideal human traits. Is jesus really just a substistute for the good in humanity?

Where did this goofy liberal theology come up that somehow rejects the writings of St Paul as part of the Bible? If you reject the writings of Paul, then you reject the Bible. If you reject the Bible, then where are you getting your information about Christ? You people need to quit reading trashy liberal books that try to rewrite Christianity, and read the Bible through the eyes of faith a little more. This is a great reason why people should not take classes in religion at a mainstream university, because those people have no faith in the word of God.

Institutions of Higher Learning have systematically attacked Christianity and indoctrinated their minds-full-of-mush students into believing this garbage. Most attackers of the Bible come out of a post-christian cultural situation in which blaming Christiasnity for everything is acceptable and politically correct.

Any true Christians out there that see this?

I've seen this listed a couple of times, just today...and no not as a joke either. Do you think this is a valid source? Do you respect and admire Dr. Kent Hovind??

Do you attend church regularly (meaning, you go unless you have to work, are sick, out of town...not something like oversleeping or wanting to sleep in)?

If you don't go, just out of curiosity, why not? You don't have to say if you'd rather not.

Considering that there are 6.7 billion people on the planet, we can't exactly come and say that the human species is threatened of extinction. The total population increase by approximately 3 per second.

As the number grows, so does the amount of pollution. The higher the amount of pollution, the closer we get to a global catastrophe, which would affect all of the humans.

Why is suicide considered wrong, when suicide would not only being an advantage to the future of the human species, but also an advantage for the survival of nature?

I know that some have trouble touching this issue, but it needs to be adressed and discussed sooner or later.

When someone is to the point of dying and it would be the best if they did so they didn't have to suffer, would you want them to stay here or go ahead and sleep? I just heard a story at church and a preacher from Africa came to our church to preach and his wifes sister passed away while they were here in the states. They said that before she had passed away she was reaching her arms out and the doctor was asking what she was doing and she said ' Im picking flowers, these are the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen in my life, colors I have never seen.
Hearing that made me cry. She caught a glimpse of where she was going. It makes me relieved that you know that that person was going onto a better life to see family and friends.

So would you want to keep someone here on earth knowing that they are suffering?

To all people who believe in an afterlife (christains.. etc.), what happens to an agnostic or atheist when they die, if they haven't commited any sin and have led a good life? Is the absence of religion really a decisive factor in going to "hell?" Please don't give me any answers saying how bad it is to be an atheist or agnostic, I heard enough of that already. I'm just looking for some validation.

(1) People used to think gods lived on Mt. Olympus.
(2) We've climbed Mt. Olympus and there were no gods there.
(3) Therefore, pagan gods are false.
(4) This implies that only the Christian god is real.

who has been praying for me and my situation and she believes it is Santeria. But from what I have seen Santeria has to do with certain specific saints and this man doesn't do that, in stead he has me pray to God. He has told me certain things about my problems but nothing negative all positive in lifting up my spirits.

Any "non-believers" attend any type of church out of habit or familial obligation, etc...?

If so, what do you do during service?
Pay attention?
Attempt to find secular value in the sermon?
Let your mind wander?
Look at the other people?
Play games on your cell phone?

Christos (Christ) = Messiah

Jesus was the Jewish Messiah so the one that comes later and claims to be one is the FALSE Messiah.

Anti-christ or Anti-messiah is not as accurate.

The following exerpt was copied and pasted from the Creation Museum website. I was slightly shocked to read this:

"The Creation Museum goes far beyond mere science. It doesn’t elevate man’s intellect by using science to “prove” Scripture. Instead, God’s Word is placed first and human reason is last."

Do you just try not to think about it and hope for the best? Do you think God has a bad side? Do you simply assume the OT was written by men and the violent events never happened? If so, then why do you think the rest of the bible is accurate?
