Religion & Spirituality - 14 October 2007

So I know not all Christians believe animals other than humans have no soul, but to those of you who do, I don't know how you can possibly think of Heaven as any sort of paradise without animals.

I would be utterly miserable in a place without cats no matter if everything else I wanted was there. It wouldn't be the same as cats. They are my joy and what makes me happy, I love my cat more than any of my friends!

So, now I ask you, how does it feel when you think of a pet-less, so called, 'paradise?

P.S. If I ever wanted to be a Christian I'd be a mormon. They are more logical than the rest of you and do believe that all living things have souls.

Could someone point out where this is in the Bible? I can't seem to find it. As best I can figure we die and then we are judged. Not die and spend time in purgatory.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

They have so many religious documents that they dont release to the public! Who are they to keep something of great importance away from religious followers. That ticks me off!!

It seems that today the only people coming into the church need to have a giant jumbletron screen and a rock band and pizza and lattes in the back. What gimmicks will be needed in the next 10 years?

It is not a religion just like theism is not a religion. There are theists that have a religion and theists that do not, just like some atheists have religions and some do not. Isn't the Christian religion about its teachings or is about the belief in a deity only. If it is only the belief in a deity that defines your religion wouldn't that make it the same as Muslim or any other religion with belief in a deity?

Please, I would appreciate prayers for his physical and emotional health. His liver is injured due to a massive, toxic overdose of Tylenol.

And for anyone considering taking a bunch of over-the-counter medication (like Tylenol) to get some attention or use it as a cry for help...please don't. You don't want to be sitting on a liver transplant service.

On my last question, somebody said that the reason humans are higher than animals is because we have souls and they don't? Now that is just a total load of bullcrap that infuriates me!

Don't TELL me my cat doesn't have a soul. He's more loving, and much smarter than almost all the people I know of. To say he doesn't have a soul would be like saying that water's made from refridgerators.

I may not be a Christian, but I do believe that all living things have souls, especially cats and dogs!

Only members are alowed in the Temple right? If God's house is the temple then why do you want to keep people out?

And Why do you "kick people out" of your church if they cheet on thier wife or something? The bible says In God's eyes all sin is the same, Great or Small. I don't get why you would turn them away from God when they need him most!

Please list your ailment, then list 3 things about your health that you are thankful for. ............. then wait 5 minutes and let us know if your listed ailment improved or you now have less pain.

(This is just another screwball idea I just had, so please play along, okay?)

And if you used to 'believe' in some higher power, was there something that happened in your life that influenced you to abandon your previous beliefs?
Just curious.

This was written in the Bible just before the events of "Noah's Ark and the Flood."

Genesis, Chapter 6;
(1). When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, (2). the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. (3). Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."

Did he EVER learn the true art of taming his desires regarding an appetite for food? Or was this merely an individual rare case of someone who's anatomy 'stayed' overweight w/out eating too much? hmmm, awfully uncanny.

Mark 7:5-9, 13
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked [Jesus], why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is WRITTEN [Jesus is quoting the Bible], This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men...
And he said unto them, Full well YE REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION.
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Hmmmm....teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Hmmm.............laying aside the commandment of God
hmmmmmmmmmm......YE REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION.

How do you justify this?

Organized religion is a pile of CRAP! It IS responsible for countless atrocities done in the name of God(not by God),and tons of other UN-Godly things.I gotta say I am with the anti-believers on this one.For the obvious reason that sadly many religious people do follow blindly,hypocritically thinking they are saved just because they attend a building with a pointy roof.Not having the faintest clue what Jesus was teaching,and all the while perpetuating their ignorance to anyone that will listen.I can very much relate to the anti-believers reasoning, in this regard anyway.And I'll even go so far as to say kudos, for your rationale.

Homosexuals, Child Rapists, Deamons and Satan's Children?

I read this book and saw a video on Youtube that said that anyone who hates Mormons are Racist, Prejudicial Bigots and Not True Christians and Most of them practice sodomy on each other.

Is that True?
