Religion & Spirituality - 26 October 2007

You know what I mean.....whatever spiritual path you happen to be walking...there are certain 'rules', so to speak...some things you should do...some things you must do...are there ever exceptions to these 'must' rules?

The Christian faith is full of instructions, don't do this, don't do that, you have to do this, you have to do that. When I used to attend Church, I never left feeling enlightened and good about myself, I always felt that I wasn't good enough and there was more that needed to be worked on, anyone else agree?

im not anti-catholic. i understand the idea of asking mary and the saints to pray for us but it seems that catholics pray as much to mary as to god. the rosary for example is mostly prayers to mary with a few "our fathers". mother theresa said that we should always pray to god through mary and the catholic church refers to mary as "co-mediatrix" with jesus. i would appreciate it if some catholics could shed some light on this for me. thank you.

answer to a logical proposition based on their beliefs--they give some off the wall answer? It's like asking someone what color is your car? and getting the answer-"the visigoths attacked rome in the 3rd century".

Please don't mistake ignorant for dumb or stupid; that is not what I mean. This is sort of directed towards Christians or anyone who has studied the Bible. What are the afterlife options for a person who never hears about Jesus or the Bible in their lifetime? Are they doomed to hell for eternity? Isn't God merciful as it states in the Bible?

I think it's so hypocritical of Christians to proclaim their rejection of hate, yet feel perfectly comfortable telling altruistic, loving, caring, human being (who happen to be Atheist), that they're going to burn on Satan's BBQ forever. THAT IS a message of hate.

If I were Christian, I would begin to wonder whether Satan and God are identical twins.

I mean, it started out as one man, then was passed on to twelve others, and has slowly evolved over the years to now include several major divisions (catholic, protestant) and several thousand, if not hundred thousand sub divisions, such as the 500 and some odd sects of Baptists. It's even grown to the point where its incorporated some traditionally pagan holidays as its own (christmas for example)
Just food for thought...

Alister McGrath is a former, die hard atheist, a professor in London University where Richard Dawkins is also a professor. McGrath has written a book the title is The Dawkins Delusion? In this book McGrath refuted all ideas and argumentations of Dawkins in his book. Michael Ruse, a former atheist says:" The God Delusion makes me embarrased to be an atheist, and McGrath show why"...

The logically
1. God could have had his minions write an allegorical book for the Jewish people living in the middle east at the time. He can do anything--no reason he cant do this.
2. If Satan is the lord of deception--the father of lies. then it is equally as possible that he had men write these various books we call the bible to turn millions away from the one true religion of (fill in the blank). If he for example wanted people turned away from Allah so he'd get their souls--writing bad things about himself in the bible and good things about that god-might get people to believe in it.

So those people who believe in the literal bible. These two points of logic are supported by your beliefs--yet contradict them. How do you explain this.

This wondrous Event took place in the 8th century A.D. in the little Church of St. Legontian, as a divine response to a Basilian monk's doubt about Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist.

During Holy Mass, after the two-fold consecration, the host was changed into live Flesh and the wine was changed into live Blood, which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape and size.

The Host-Flesh, as can be very distinctly observed today, has the same dimensions as the large host used today in the Latin church; it is light brown and appears rose-colored when lighted from the back.

The Blood is coagulated and has an earthy color resembling the yellow of ochre.

Various ecclesiastical investigation ("Recognitions") were conducted since 1574.

In 1970-'71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry

Please no, don't say YES because if you do I will never post another question in R&S.
I expect some honesty, at least.

Because someone may tell me that they're a Christian, the definition must be applicable to all who use the term to describe themselves or their denomination or congregation. Otherwise when someone uses the term, I won't know what they mean.

My guess is that this may not be possible, but I offer you now the opportunity, all for the prize of 10 points.

then wouldn't that inherently mean that there was incest early in humanity? Otherwise, how would it all multiply? If there were two families, then there could be no incest, but with Adam and Eve begetting say six kids. Necessarily, there would have been incest to multiply families?
