Religion & Spirituality - 18 October 2007

I always hear things like "A huge majority of scientists support evolution" and I know this is true, but I am curious, how many of them are directly involved in the study of it? Like obviously evolutionary biologists and maybe some geologists indirectly learn about the idea (by producing facts on the "millions of years" thing). So what percentage of scientists would actually fall into a category where their work is directly based on evolutionary theory.

My question is really this: would we be better off living spiritual lives with our own understanding and relationship with God or do we need to follow an organized religion? I am not trying to bash organized religion, but it seems divisive to say the very least. Each one seems to "know" the path to salvation and the others are all doomed.

Seems a tad egotistical doesn't it?

What would the world be like....if science eventually diminished religion? And if we had a woman as the president of the US.....? I ask this because that's exactly where it looks like we are headed, in my view.

If you converted, that would take a lot of stress off of you for sure. I know it has to be hard being an atheist with all the flack you catch from religious people. This would put an end to a lot of that. This would make your life easier. Not to mention you will have a relationship with Jesus.

If you don't want to, why not? What is holding you back?

I am trying to be nice.

Religion is a group of people whorship a supernatural Being believed to be the redeemer of the soul from sin in order to live with him in heaven. Now a days, many religions sprouted in the world but chaos or misunderstanding continue by teroristic acts and attacking one another on how to go to heaven. Their Bible is the same if Christians and Koran in Islam but some protest and form another sub-group.

I believe somethings, (not all things) are a message, the odd things that really stick out, that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach that what you saw means something on a deeper, spiritual level.
I have some Native American Blood & I am Wiccan (An Earth based religion) The Eagle is one of my totem animals. I saw 2 bald Eagles fighting I know it's meant to mean more to me then they were just fighting over a nest or something, As I whatched them spiraling clockwise in flight ,fighting with talons out, attacking each other, flying from the North sky to South sky right over me & my home, something in my gut said this means something, spirit is telling me something,But what?
So what could what I saw mean?
I have been getting alot of message from spirit lately, but I don't know what any of them are telling me, I feel that all the messages are the same answer I feel seeing the eagles fight was my message from spirit being screamed at me, but I still don't know what it means.

When Jezus comes back again will those who rise from the dead be brain-eating zombies or blood-sucking zombies and can we tell who is who? Will Repubicans get another president elected, and will Dick Cheney learn the difference between a quail and a lawyer?

I've never seen an oompa loompa. But there could be one back there! I have no evidence to the contrary, after all, I haven't checked.

Do you think I'm acting self-important? Like I'm acting as if I know things when I'm really just assuming?

I'm going to go check.....

...not exist, yet you fail to see the irony of your calling Christians "narrow-minded".
You say that there is no God and that those who believe in God do so in blind faith, yet your claim that there is no God also rests on blind faith.
Therefore, if my hypothesis is correct, God exists.
What do you have to say for yourselves?
Laughing, saying "drink", saying "LOGICAL FALLACY", or some other irrelevant thing will be interpreted by me as you admitting you cannot answer me and that you do believe in God.

Some of the words in the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic used to describe the Holy Spirit are a feminine form of the noun. Would you consider it blasphemous to say there was a feminine aspect to the Holy Spirit, and, therefore, God? If not blasphemous, then erroneous? Please, let me see your opinions.
