Religion & Spirituality - 20 October 2007

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

What do you think? Will I ever get one?

I'm a believer, and I want to know where do these rules some other christians make up come from, you can not drink, smoke cigars, dance and such? (I like to drink a nice cold beer every now and then, and smoke a smooth cigar, even dance and enjoy some nice music) Where does it speak out against nightclubs where people like to have fun and mingle? Where is the sin? Jesus drank wine and attended weddings and heard one of the first miracles was to make some "hooch". And bars, I like to go to this certain bar in the morning and just sit down and relax after a hard works day and enjoy a nice cold beer or two and watch the news, what's wrong with that? Somebody can help me out with these questions (and not in some flaming judgemental way) thank you.

Do you know that if you haven't accepted the Mighty Emperor Penguin as your lord and savior, he will, upon your death, banish you to a dark, horrible place deep inside Earth that is populated with angry leopard seals, and from which there is NO escape? Doesn't that scare you? Don't you think it'd be safer to throw in with the Mighty Emperor Penguin now, before it's too late? What do have to lose, except for basking in the glory that is COD?

COD bless you all :)

I have a very questioning friend. We often get into talks about Christianity and his questions confuse me so much. I can never come up with a good answer or a solid answer and I was wondering if you could help. Please don't give Sunday school answers...really think about it.

1)What proof is there that God really exists? Like he believes that there has to be some sort of higher being, but what proof is there that the God of Christianity IS the true God. I mean, Allah could have made the universe right?

2) Lets say there is a sixty year old millionare who has 2 or 3 grown children, a large house, no debt, etc. He has everything settled, no more children to raise, his is retired from his job, and a wife that he is divorced from. What reason is there that he should keep living? It would only benefit his children if he died and he has nothing else to live for? WHy should he live?

Will you go to church? Will you sit quietly reading the paper, enjoying your coffee? Will you go for a walk in the woods with your dog? Will you cook your special banana pancakes for the whole family? Will you rake the orange yellow leaves? Will you sit with your kids and watch cartoons?

It's Sunday tomorrow...how will you commune with God or nature or all the love in your life? Thanks for sharing.

And even today......many atheist scientists have set out to prove the NON existence of GOD and found quite the opposite. They now believe in GOD.

For instance have you read:
The Language of GOD, A scientist presents evidence for belief.
by Francis S. Collins, Geneticist and longtime head of the Human Genome Project

Chapter One: From Atheism to Belief

I feel really bad though. I of course am NOT going to be a brat about it. Anyways I'm 24 weeks pregnant with twins.(Boy and girl) I am of course a teen mom(14) so it's hard enough as it is. Anyways a lot of the baby gifts where religious. Blankets with crosses/jesus and baby picture on them or something. They fully know that I'm a witch. Yet they are making every effort to convert me. Even sending me bible verses through e mail. I've been really kind and calm about this but it's started to get offensive. What should I do?

I mean look all the Gods we need to worship!!!! We'd have to spend half our day just praying to them! And plus some Gods are jealous like Jehovah who says you're to have no false idols. It's impossible to follow Pascal's wager!

Look at the list of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZVRpqm0Cl0

Oh and please don't respond with "Jesus is the only true God, he died for us." whimper*

Why do you fear to face our faces?
Why do you prefer to stay far away us?
Don't you like the world,created by you?
Don't you love us,produced by you?
why did you create the good with the bad?
why did you make angels with devils?
Didn't you know our strength with our weakness?
Didn't you understand our body with a stomach?
Why will you visit again to our world?
Why will you punish us according to your law?
Won't you know that our world isn't like yours?
Won't you learn that our sins are yours?

Sometimes, when the temperature is 120 degrees in Surprise, I have some not so nice things to say about Arizona. The world here is 50% blue. Not very many trees and most of the houses are one story. The mountains are only about 2000 feet high and the cacti are sparse. So, when I look up, the world is blue. When I look down, it is a tannish brown. Well, this week, my wife and I went to Nevada City, California, and the mountains were RIGHT THERE. The trees were orange,red and green, and very tall, some of the pines were 150 feet tall. The mist in the mountains was right in my face and it was cold. It rained the whole week. Now, I love rain. And I love trees. And I love the misty mountains. But, when I looked up, it was mostly green because of all the trees. And when I looked down, it was dark brown and red and orange with all the leaves on the ground. When I got back to Arizona, I really thanked MY lucky stars that I live in a world that is 50% blue. Do you feel that way about your home?

i watch this cat playing with a mouse when a truck started coming down the road-the cat looked up saw the truck and pick up the mouse- the cat walked out into the road holding the mouse and waited till the truck got close-then the cat dropped the mouse and ran to the side of the road---truck missed the mouse and the cat caught it again and continued playing with it---it seems like the cat at least had sense of vicious humor-do you think it has spirituality also?
thanks in advance for any answers and please dont get to serious here--smile and enjoy the night

Anyone else find this video slightly subversive to a Christian point of view?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRW40gtcp2I

If you're not into the whole video-watching or link-following thing, Larry sings to the sick pets, while Pa Grape quietly suggests a more effective solution to the problem. Could this be seen as an unintentional criticism of prayer relative to concrete action?

When you go to the altar to pray, would you like someone to pray with you, or would you rather pray alone?

Jesus Christ said it. In John 6:44 ( 44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.) Also, John 6:65 (65He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.") Listen, some people just will not get it no matter how hard we try. For God made the world but the world did not know him. And he spoke the truth but the people hate the truth. aAnd flee from the light. Not everyone can know who Christ is only the ones who the Father wants. Let me ask you Christians who have a relationship, how lucky are you that God hand chose you for his kingdom? As far as I know we are blessed because we found the little gate to heaven, EVEN more blessed for we have walked through it. What's your response?
