Religion & Spirituality - 29 September 2007

By reading a lot of posts here ie Cheryl E and others there is not just a non-belief, there is what I would call a hatred toward something they claim not to believe in. Huh.

What the government does not legislate, the church will.

Now he is saying we (US) are the ones responsible for 9/11.

He did this to just get Millions of $s of media coverage to Millitant Islam. And then he boasts that they don't have gays in Iran. Well, gays get the death sentence. So, if they are in Iran, they are in the closet.

Then he says there is freedom for Jews in Iran. Well? As long as they wear the color code & pay the extra tax humbled. (Same for Christians).

Do you think that a great mountain of a problem is growing in Iran?

I mean with the nuclear threat?

Have just been reminded by local newspaper article of an ever-growing group of Muslim college students at a local University in Miami, who feed the homeless every Friday. As well as supply them with clothing.

Do you have something similar in your city from the Muslims in your area?

I am a buddhist American and I feel it is just as important to help democracy and freedom in Myanmar as it is in Iraq.

How can we help?

Rarely do I see people debating Pauls meaning on something, or seeking the original Greek on a verse, or comparing the Bible and the Koran about Abraham, even discussing similarities of Buddhists Nirvana to a Muslim's heaven, etc. Why are we not discussing religion? But instead merely attacking the fact people have other beliefs that are different from our own? Please really think about this question. Gods peace to all.

In all of the universe, what do you think people from other planets would/do believe in?

A lot of people say that when we see spirits it is the devil impersonating the person who we think we see. A lot of people see spirits when they don't expect to. ie not in a situation like a seance. How do they know it is the devil and not our loved ones. I believe it is our loved ones we see. Also how can a lot of folk who believe in God dispute the fact that we see soirits?

If it was only meant for theists, surely Yahoo would have put a notice somewhere. It's like some people hate that fact that some people have different views on religion.

Just because I don't believe in a God, does that mean that I can't be intrested in religion, that I know nothing about religion or that I can't have a view on religion?

Also, imagine how much hassle we are saving the fundies in their propaganda spreading duties. This way they can post all of their "Jesus loves you, will you accept his love, or will you burn in hell?" questions in one section, saving lots of time.

There are some celibate religions out there but they dont forbid getting drunk.

There are some people who do not drink but they have fornicated at least once in their life.

Overall would you say Muslims have the largest number of people who have both NEVER fornicated nor ever become drunk ?

These are the FRUITS that you will know them by........

For Blacks the Arabs and European did horrible things to our ancestors, and actually they are still prejudiced, so why would you co-op their religion?

And Native Americans..after what Europeans did to your country, why?

Latinos think they are white, so I won't even question them.

I'm sure I'm going to hear about a "merciful god."

People of African descent, Oludomare, Obatala, Oshun and Yemaya are merciful. So if you are going to believe in a diety, why would you not believe in one of your ancestors?

1. Punctuated equilibrium: Which posits that evolution amongst sexually reproducing species takes place in rapid bursts, separated by long periods of stasis, in which little change occurs.

2. Phyletic gradualism: Which states that most evolution occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

how can Christ give you a free gift and then just take it away or allow you to forfeit it - don't you then belong to Him? then if you belong to him, then he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself? why is that so hard to understand. Once you belong to Him does He ever let you go? Don't you always belong to Him?

11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
