Religion & Spirituality - 7 October 2007

I know that being gay goes against many religions, but I just don't understand why people choose to hate gay people over others who do things that go against their religion. It makes me so sad. I hate to generalize, but most the gay people I have ever known have been some of the best people in my life to have. Maybe because they have to overcome the hatred that people throw their way, or maybe because I surround myself with positive people, but why hate gays just because it's against ones religion? Why not hate liars just as much, or adulterers, or people who don't love their god or their neighbors? Why single out that one thing so much? One of my friends just told me last night that he was gay and it makes me sad to think of the hard road he has ahead of him with all the hateful, prejudice people out there.

When can a backslider miss their chance to return into fellowship with God? Is it ever too late to come back? What is a reprobate?

I am Catholic and quite frankly I am sick and tired of hearing all this non-sense about Catholics and what they believe in! So stop hatin' on the Catholics! Anyone else agree?

i was cruising round on YA! today and I found this about lies in school-

"Columbus discovered America (he never even set foot on the continent)

The Pilgrims were the only ones on the Mayflower and came here peacefully (they hijacked it, by all accounts. and they weren't the first "Pilgrims". The first were Spanish Jews)

Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Kentucky (that particular cabin was built 30 years after his death)"

what else is there? and why are we taught these lies? are the teachers just unaware and ignorant, or do they know the truth and there's a reason?

I have many questions about Christianity that my pastor just can't answer in a satisfying way. (For example, why would an all-powerful and all-loving Father require my faith instead of having a more personal, face-to-face relationship with me? And lots of others...)

I feel like I need to just stop asking these deep questions to keep my faith intact. But would this offend God? Doesn't God want me to make Christianity logical? I didn't choose to be a questioner, that's just the way I am...

Can anyone else relate? Have you learned to stop asking difficult questions so that you can keep believing?

the idea of god was created to explain the unexplained. in ancient times they had several dieties to explain everything from infertility to the plague. but science has proven why things like infertility and the plague happened. so those gods have been proven as false. so whats to say the samething won't happen with the Christian god? its a matter of time before the almighty science shows how we were created. then Christianity will be exposed for the lie that it is.

This question isn't to bash Athiests. I'm just wondering if this is what you really want to happen. Is it your ideal way to die, or would you want something else if you had that option?

She is the only right and true savior. So you all need to convert and become Wiccans! So burn your bibles today! They are false books. Your God and Jesus are not the true deities only my Goddess can save you! Know that now and be saved!

Annoying aint it? Of course its not true but do you see how silly it sounds? Epsecially if your not Wiccan.

Now think about it for a minute. And you will see how it feels to hear that your God is not the true. Kind of ticks you off dont it?

Why can't you respect my beliefs?

War doesn't really happen. It's only in our mind. War doesn't really exist It's a figment of Man's imagination.
Man's murder of one another is only a dream. A nightmare. Unreal.
Man is loving. Love put there by God. A God of Peace. A god of reason.
One day Man will wake up, and death will be gone forever.
Death doesn't really happen. It's a dream. A vicious vision;
punishment for our doubts of one another.
Written by the Spirit of Abel, Ruler of the World.

My sister can never seem to understand why I choose to be agnostic. We both grew up very Catholic, Sunday school, communion, confirmation, the whole bit. Now she is born again, goes to a Baptist church several times a week and is very devout. I respect her decision, and am very proud of her commitment to it. However, when I'm back home she batters me with the I'm going to hell, and you need to find god, aka the Christian god. I understand it's part of her religion to try and sway people to their side,(which I believe is close minded, self-rightous, and plain wrong), but she needs to leave things as they are, and respect my choice as I respect hers. And no, I'm am not a bitter Atheist, or an undecided Agnostic. I choose to be Agnostic as not to be so arrogant as to think I know everything, and remain objective. I'm looking for honest, un-bias opinions from both the religious, and non religious. Please, no bickering about faiths, or lack there of. It justs wastes time. Thanks

Many people, if randomly aproched and asked what their faith/belife is, will say "I don't have one." But how can that be? i mean, think about it. to have a belife is to think about something and think that its true/right. so they have to have a faith/belife, right? and do u think they r only bluffing? also what do u think about faith in evry day life? do u think other faiths r better than others, or that all faiths r just to pushy. i want u to please tell me ur full thoughts on these matters. Thankx!

Secular and/or spiritual answers welcome. Personally I think that Israel should return all illegaly occupied settlements in the West Bank back to Palestine. Why? The answer is simple. Under international law it is illegal to build settlements in an occupied territory. Being an atheist, this makes this dispute clean cut and dry. No ifs ands or buts, the secular law trumphs all dogmatic beliefs. Many Israelis (not all) believe that the land is rightfully theirs, given to them by God - as written in the Torah. It is only when the seperation between church and state is blurred, that we have problems like the ones fueling in the Middle East today.

I asked a question for those that might want to know what mormons believe telling them that its a good day to find out since it is our general conference. There were a couple of sincere answerers. Most of them were just people there to tell me how wrong I was and how wrong my church was. What is the purpose of being so mean and spiteful over just a sincere regular question or offering of information?

Does it make people feel better to go out of there way to condemn others?
