Religion & Spirituality - 27 September 2007

Anyone else notice how many questions in R&S aren't questions at all, but people just ranting and expressing their own thoughts and opinions (like this one, lol)

If you go back and check best answer, if the asker chooses the best answer, they usually just pick whatever regurgitates their opinion the most. These questions would be better of to ask "Who can validate my thoughts the best?" It's just the format people seem to expect now.

I sometimes think if someone has a serious religious question or is seeking to gain knowledge, they might be better off posting in the cats or ethnic cuisine section.

I'm right..........AREN"T I?

I recall reading on a website somewhere that God, in the bible, directly kills something like 300,000 people and is responsible for ordering the deaths of over a million more people.

If that's wrong, please point it out to me (with a legitimate reference, of course)...but my main question is this: I can't recall a reference to the devil killing anyone in the bible. Last time I read the bible was about ten years ago, so perhaps memory is failing me...can anybody help me out here?

at least there's historical proof that the witch burnings really happened - but not in Salem, Mass.

"Nobody who has invested much time down
a blind alley likes the messenger who shines
a light at the brick wall up ahead".

If so, explain when you have encountered this type of resilience in ones obstinacy in accepting the truth?
Was it your credo or someone Else's?

This is for some people whose lives are really the s--thole if you know what I mean. They could have both legs amputated via no fault of their own, gotten raped and contracted viral microorganisms in the body, been beaten so many times as a POW they are warped in the mind? Well, in these extreme cases and many nuances in between, I really wonder how can we ever blame them for rejecting God?

I feel as if YES, it is fact that we weren't given the same footing, nor the the same pains... Yet, we must end in the same destination!! Life is painful and I admit in this trend of thought, I could foil and close my eyes in sheer agony.

Yes, indeed Nichodameus (spelling?) who had all the looks, power, and influence couldn't ultimately accept Christ, but what about if you had less than nothing and then thrown to the dogs? What about that feral-like child who couldn't acquire language after taken out of the dungeon of a basement after being locked up for 12 years (?) or so...Ahh...

I am guilty of both. the times I started to lust after someone, I ended up too lazy to do anything. then i lost interest.

it was sloth that saved me from sin.

Let's see. I am 52. I remember bible study in grade school.

Some would indicate that this country has gone to hell since bible study and prayer were stopped in the early 60's.

Has the world gone to hell?
Has anything improved?
Has anything gotten worse?

Glory glory glory hallelujah I need to talk to some of you set in your ways content with the decay singing and dancing all day.

I wanna be lost in your happy sex dream but I need a wife first because I can't stop having sex right thats crazy talk. So first I need a christian wife then a christian identity and finally a christian burial. Is this doable?

I guess I want something else...to get me through this....semi-charmed kinda life. The drugs and reason stopped working.

(I was afraid to say Homeless Depot or SLowes, cause it could look like a spam question)

They are wolves in sheeps "clothing". They need to be shaved.

They are making it hard for Agnostics to make a choice.

"Fundies" are wolves disguised as sheep, the Bible says so. This is from the book of Matthew #7 new test:

15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

Some Fundies will say "We do not claim to be 'Prophets'.
But, if you prophecy that those who do not "believe" will go to HELL (!), you are prophesying their "destiny".

You are "sitting" in judgement, that is God's job, not yours.

Example: Your a guitar teacher~
You do not scold a guitar player by saying "If you don't play right, you're not gonna score any chicks!"

You teach them to play the guitar, thats it.

It is up for the student or "player" to decide what style to play, maybe God has a style in mind for them

To teach, not preach?

Is that why they visit R & S . Because misery loves company. By the way I do not go to church or gatherings of any kind.
