Religion & Spirituality - 3 October 2007

Have you been around someone in there last days or hours? Well what have they said that left forever impressions?

My relative talked about seeing relatives that passed many times ago.

If you looked at all the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci and studied his history, what would you really think ?

Mary Magdalene or an effiminate androgynous St John.
The painting was coded but not in the way the author thought but simply testified to Leonardo's procilivities of the homosexual kind as evidence in other paintings like an effeminate St John the Baptist and masculine looking androgynous females in other paintings.

How could they miss what is obvious from his entire record of paintings that he cast the "beloved disciple" as effeminate, as he would have liked it ?

Sure we have free speech, sure we have a right to sue for any reason. School boards also have a right to set up a certain standard when it comes to what is allowed in school and what could potentially be distracting to the learning environment.

So, the parents who now want to sue yet another underfunded school system are screaming free speech. Does this mean that anything on a tshirt should be allowed as not to infringe on the free speech of anyone for anything. Under this premise a KKK shirt should be allowed. A tshirt that depicts aborted fetus' should be allowed. A tshirt that supports pedophilia should be allowed, etc. The list is huge as to what should be allowed under this logic.

So what are your thoughts on this and do you believe this students free speech is being stunted in that environment?

It seems that a married couple can engage in sexual acts after sundown?! What about the desires of the unmarried muslims? Of course it goes against all religious belief to engage in any sexual activity before marriage. That is understood CLEARLY! The issue at hand is that there are many more singles who have the same human desires of those that are married! Why are we to be treated at a greater disadvantage than those who are married and get to indulge in sexual desires after the sunset!

In plain English (Aside from the normal sin of everyday religion) Why can't I have sex after the sun sets?

I DON'T NEED THE AVG. CLOSE MINDED RESPONSE SAYING SEX IS WRONG, AND THAT IM NOT MUSLIM...YADA, YADA. (I am Muslim, and college educated)
This question engages the open minded, and challenges the term wife today compared to when the Prophet Muhammed was around! Is there more of a sin placed upon me for engaging in sexual acts from sundown to sunset if I am unmarried, including masterbation

Imagine yourself an alien from a distant galaxy who happens to visit Earth and was suddenly accosted by an evagelical Christian proselytizing about Jesus being the saviour and that only through acceptance of him as its personal saviour would it be saved ... I mean first off, does the whole Christian doctrine even apply to a non-Earthling? The concept of a world outside our own never even crossed the minds of the people who were supposedly inspired to put God's word into writing, so how could they have anticipated a being from another planet showing up? Is heaven then exclusively for humans who accepted JC as their savior?? I mean what sort of paradigm could you possibly even use to explain the concept of Christianity to this alien that would allow itself gain entrance to the Kingdom of God? The alien never went through the whole human experience and would never comprehend the human pathos that leads to our acceptance of the biblical teachings....

Someone on T.V. said that the human heart isn't completely fulfilled without God, so that's why people are addicted to gambling, sex, alcohol, etc.

Well if people are fulfilled by God and religion, doesn't that make it just another addiction?

If you could go back in time and you saw Jews stone a gay person to death (Leviticus 20:13) or a person that worked on the sabbath, would you stand by and do nothing and act like it was perfectly justified or would you say that the commandment that came from the mouth of God supposedly was incorrect?

Read Leviticus 20:1. It says that killing gay people came from the mouth of God. He supposedly said this to Moses. Read that verse and every SINGLE verse up to 13. These are supposed to be quotes from the Judeo-Christian God.

I know NO Christian now would say it was okay to kill gays because Jesus came and died for our sins, so the laws have changed, but I have never seen a Christian condemn this verse. They act like it would NOT be okay to do that NOW, but they all seem to believe it USED to be okay.

Your thoughts?

Last night I was contacted to go to the library and look for a certain book. When I got to the library I was appalled to find this book in the fiction section. I immediately went over to the librarian with the book and asked "how can this book not be considered nonfiction?" The book was entitle "The Cat in the Hat." She told me that it is not real. I said that it was. I told her how the Cat in the Hat telepathically contacted me the previous night and told me that he was real and that he lived a million light years away. He told me that he contacted Dr. Seuss telepathically about this event in his life and that is where he came up with the story, whether he realized it or not. I told her that if she could not prove me wrong that it had to be true. She told me that I was crazy.

Talk about double standards. Do you think atheists will strive to have a question removed if someone tells them that they're going to spend eternity in hell and are the spawn of Satan?
I love it how Christians know how to turn the other cheek. I love their tolerance of rival beliefs.

I'll occasionally get into a debate with a True Believer of some sort and the topic will turn to empirical proof of religion. I'll ask something like "how come you can't faith-heal an amputee under laboratory conditions" or something like that. Often, the person's defense is that it really does come down to faith and nothing else.

So, if it's ultimately faith, why not have faith in a religion of your own making? Why not start a fun religion where kinky, non-procreational sex is encouraged and where smoking maryjane is a sacrament? Why not a religion where the deity is a smiling guy named "Bob" and where every day is a holy day and a paid holiday? Why not just dump all that grim hellfire 'n' brimstone stuff and believe in a nice, fun religion instead?
