Religion & Spirituality - 18 October 2007

i was told one by a man who had gone into a coma state and was in a life or death situation he said what he experienced wasnt a dream, he found himself walking along a golden path towards a building in the distance but he didnt make it to the building as he was brought back but while he was in this place he experienced total peace and tranquility he had also gone back to the age of his prime and he could walk again, he was the only person walking on this path but there was a path below with about four people walking the opposite way who did not aknowledge him (this came from a non believer of spiritual experiences), he has told me he is now not scared of dying and i feel honoured that he felt he could share this with me.

... "have lost whatever vestiges of humanity they had left". ?
Is that why they hate Christians?
None of that is true. That just shows mental laziness on your part. That is propaganda from atheists.

If Muslim women have the "right" to be provided for by her husband, why does she not have the right to take another husband? What happens if her husband cannot provide her with the things she needs or wants? What if the husband is sterial? What if he is bad in bed? What if he just cannot get ahead in his career and they are forced to live in a tiny hut and eat rammen every day?

It is my understanding that if a Muslim woman cannot have sex anymore or cannot produce a child, the man may take another wife. Why does it not work the other way?

If you say that you don't have any, then you are saying it is ok to lie, steal, cheat, and murder
So if you are going to say "I dont have any" Please dont answer.

Most whites consider themselves to have a higher intelligence ........... and also consider the son of GOD/GOD to be in the image of a white man.

Is this why Christianity has failed to overcome the race problem ?

Cause it dont seem as if they are getting followers, in fact, it seems as though they are losing more and more to Atheism.

My husband thinks yes, but I think no. We are Lutherans and I hope someone can give us a factual answer.

Books? Who authored them? Are they reputably sources?
Other people? WHo?
Your own experience--did you leave the church because you were hurt by people or because there were questions that couldn't be answered. Or because you just got sick of going to church constantly (I hear that one a lot)

If love is a universal language do we really need religion for moral guidlines? If we don't then what do we need? What would bring people to a sense of unity?

I don't follow any organised religion (I dont' believe in their male-centric view of the spiritual), but if there is a devil out there, I believe his/her greatest victory has been the division between men and women.

do you agree?

I chose to be agnostic for the following reasons:
1. Those asshole popes and bishops claim to be compassionate. You build churches. Go and sit there and supposedly pray God and then come out without noticing that that damn 10 million dollars that was spent on the church could have saved 10000000 lives in africa. The pope's sun glass in $3000 dollars. If he claims to be sympathetic and devout, how could he wear that stuff and sign autographs while people are dying all over the world.

2. People just love pretending. Everybody constantly tries to prove their religion is the truth; however, as soon as they come out of the church or mosque or whatever, it's the flow of sins that really impresses me. People go around commit adultery and have sex with 10 people in 2 years. And they still persist on their innocence. I have a lot more examples. The evidence is there. What would be your new excuse?

What do you call someone who believes there is some kind of higher being or God, but doesn't follow any religion in particular?

How would you correlate the idea of not being 'thirsty' to hope?

The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism explains: "For it is through Christ's Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained."

At the same time, the Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964, states “…The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day…”

Not meant to bash Catholicism (though perhaps challenge it). But can someone explain how these two statements fit together without representing a contradiction?

I acknowledge I am not familiar with the entirety of Catholic Doctrine and am open to legitimate answers. Thanks...

Heaven will be perfect. But will men still have the ability to choose?

Adam and Eve lived in a garden paradise, but part of the PERFECTNESS of the creation was that Adam and Eve had free will, as represented by the tree of life and the tree of knowledge which were forbidden...

In Heaven, our new paradise without evil, will our free-will be taken away? If so, does that make us robots, or slaves to God?

I am just not sure how to go about this. I have asked God to save me, but have felt no different afterwards. I don't go to church, I am starting to do homestudy here at my house. I want to feel the excitement for the Lord that I see in so many others. Any advice?
