Religion & Spirituality - 27 October 2007

it's a bit funny but eversince that controversial tape of confessions by some VHP workers has come out in the open, suddenly HINDUS have started giving unsolicited explanations and are doing all sorts of odd things they can, to prove they don't support NARENDRA MODI, all this in a preempt that we muslims don't start equating modi and his likes with all hindus. Not that their efforts are going unnoticed but i wonder, this is exactly what many muslims tried to do after the 9/11 but somehow non muslims, especially hindus did'nt want to see reason. so much so that even today, 6 years later, on a popular discussion forum like yahoo q/a, so much filth is spitted and vomited about islam, all in the name of concern for human rights? If they don't like us painting all hindus with the same colour that we have or will be using to paint narendra modi and his gang , how can they equate OSAMA with ISLAM? If they can or will continue to do then we can't help following them!!

The actual DEVIL came to me in a dream. It was satan him/herself that visited me that night. No imagination, no creation of the mind. Satan himself. Would you believe me and what to do if the devil came to you in a dream? I think it was a prophetic warning.

Whatever flavor will be fine, though Cool Ranch is preferable. Or... y'know, whatever. I'm looking for divine snacks. In fact, I'm *praying* for them. If Jesus comes through with some tortilla chips and guacamole, that'll be good too.

I'm not in absolute agreement with everything presented in the movie Zeitgeist. (www.zeitgeistmovie.com) Regardless, the first segment, elegantly describing how and why solar and stellar movements gained such importance to humankind that cosmic bodies were enshrined in myth, is a fantastic encapsulation of the major evidence against the claim of a historical Jesus and a unique spiritual status for Christianity. It's laid out in the movie and the sources are cited and, in some cases, linked to on the site.

If a halfway-intelligent sounding Christian can't shake his brainwashing long enough for the facts to get through, what is the point of even trying to reason with them? How do you present a logical argument to somebody who only needs a reassuring pat on the head from his fellow dupe to make him close his eyes again? How can we penetrate that kind of willful denial?

With Wiccans or witches. I've been a witch and "out of the broom closet" for nearly a decade and I still have relatives who are "Concerned for my soul" I don't tell them how to worship their religion or tell them it's bad or wrong, why do they feel it's their mission in life to pressure me into feeling horrible about how I live my life?

If you're going to preach to me I'd appreciate it if you kept your comments to a minimum. I know the bible so I do not need you to quote me scriptures, ok?

...because...like Job...they have so much faith in God it makes Satan so envious, he does horrible things to try and make these people rebuke God?

Why do you think these 3 religions have traditionally fought amongst themselves so much? Some conflict is logical, since they differ as to traditions of worship etc, but they're all worshiping the same God! Why have they seemed to focus on the differences, rather than the similarities? It almost seems they haven't wanted cooperation and peace.

Okay...

Since gays are accepted which is great! I am happy that gays don't go to hell, no one deserves it.

BUT

Why were the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed due to sodomy, and homosexuality, and all the worldly things that happened there. Only one family was removed before the cities were burnt to a crisp! Please explain...

Don't judge me as bashing, I just strictly want to understand, I am studying religion, and want to understand as much as I can.

Faith being belief in the absence of proof and which in anything except religion is considered to be stupid.

Here are a few hints:

My father lived in this cult for 11 years until the age of 19. My parents sent me to a similar cult when I was 13, where I was brainwashed by women and men in long black robes.

The female leaders covered their heads, and the male leaders had young boys dressed in robes who served them in a daily ceremony.

They brainwashed us into believing that we were eating flesh and drinking blood even though we didn't see any blood.

I had to report any personal wrongdoings to a a male in a closed booth in the semi-dark if I wanted to be saved. Every day I had to kneel for hours, and speak in a language I didn't understand.

I was not allowed to leave the enclave. They made me dress like the other females, where we all slept in a large room of about 50.

I lived in the cult for 3 years, it took a year to deprogram me.

There are still many cults like this around the world.

Now do you know what it is?

The Holy Ghost was prophesied by Joel and Isaiah in the Old Test. In the New Test, the Holy Ghost was promised in Acts 2:38, after Jesus died on the cross and after you repented and were baptized. From proof throughout the Bible, the Holy Ghost that is promisd here, is speaking in other tounges. What are your thoughts?

How can god be speaking to so many different priests/imams/shaman/rabbi/.... ?
Are some of them not telling the truth ? Is god not really speaking to them and telling them about reality, heaven and hell !!! What a scary thought !!
Is god not speaking at all to them ?

Or is god a big joker ?
