Religion & Spirituality - 29 October 2007

I am accusing you all of getting tradition mixed up with what the Bible actually says. Where does it say that Jesus' mother did not have intercourse.

It seems the far right fundies are complaining about the new Nicole Kidman movie, "The Golden Compass". The movie is based on a book trilogy that has been accused of being overtly anti-religion and who's author is a outspoken supporter of Athiesm.
The thing is, the fundies are complaining that New Line Cinema TOOK OUT the parts dealing with religion and atheism all together..watering down the fantasy story and thus PROMOTING more people to read the atheism laced book.

Does this make ANY sense to a normal person?

A few weeks ago, probably about 6 to be exact, I and a friend of mine took a trip to Martha's Vineyard, and one night when we were there, I met this certain celebrity ( I actually took the trip there to see if I could meet him because I heard that he would be there that weekend).
We danced and I had gotten drunk and so did he. He took me back to the Hotel he was staying in and I'm sure we ended up having sex though I can't remember it very well. Anyway, the next morning, when I woke up, he had a cab waiting for me outside to take me back to the place where I was staying & a note. I just discovered that I am pregnant and I don't know what to do because I know I'll never see him again & he's probably forgotten about me. But I know it's not my boyfriend's baby because we had split up for a bit just before this happened and they are the only two guys I've been with. We have since gotten back together and are engaged. I am a Christian and opposed to abortion, and just turned 20.

On The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert mimics a right-wing, fundamentalist Christian (more specifically, Catholic), satirizing not only political issues and paradoxes, but religious ones as well. Believe it or not, he happens to really be a Roman Catholic Christian in real life. In fact, it has been reported that he teaches Sunday school each week.

When asked by an interviewer about his religious views, to summarize, he explains that he does not criticize religion itself, but how politicians use religion, often in hypocritical ways. He then makes the comment that Jesus' Kingdom is not of this Earth, and implies it should be uninvolved with politics.

For first century pagans, Jews, and Christians, there was no such thing as separation as church and state. Caesar, for example, was not just a ruler: he was divine, the son of god, and the savior. For Jews, YHWH was the true God of the world, who would one day send a Messiah to overthrow the pagan powers of the day.

The blind see again, the lame speak, the deaf hear, the crippled walk, terminal cancer just disappears- science can't explain it! These educated fellas are stumped, feeling the Jesus! There is one group though that seems to be excluded from the whole miracle deal. Please give me your input. Cheers!

WHY AREN'T AMPUTEES CURED! Why doesn't Jesus/God/Holy Spirit allow them to wake up with a new arm/leg/whatever one day!? You can't explain it rationally, so here we go! Time to create a strange,illogical rationalization (that probably makes you feel uncomfortable if you're educated) as to why your Jesus doesn't cure this group.

I know it's hard to get converts for the Pope's religion. but a good start would be to get rid of the pedophiles first and then maybe worry about abortions after he's done cleaning his own house. Check this news item. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071029/ts_nm/pope_drugs_dc

In this time of discovery and science so many people still think there is one "being" that controls the universe. The universe is filled with billions of solar systems and planets we are just now discovering. Christianity and other religions were a catalyst for things people in the past could not understand....when they had a natural disaster, flood, hurricanes, death, volcano eruptions or even a comet in the sky to them that was a WARNING from the god or gods they worshiped. In this day and age I can't see why people are still turning to religion......religion has been the start and cause of 95% of all wars since the dawn of man. Today religion is the cause of turmoil in the middle east, Israel and so on and people continue to practice different religions around the world that conflict with one another.

ing has changed to any real significance... There is not a single society document that says all the anointed were selected by 1935.' I note this self-imposed time span avoids the dropped/denied 1975 debacle!

I think, however, there HAVE been subtle changes to JW doctrine in the last 25 years, eg the separating of the sheep from the goats now being future, the generation of 1914 no longer being alive to see Armageddon - it will be a future generation, a generation is no longer 70-80 years but 36 or so years, and now there seems to be something afoot with the decree that the 'calling' for the 144,000 was closing around 1935 as the 'calling' for the earthly hope was beginning.

I want to ask, are JWs telling the public one thing whilst knowing more than they're prepared to admit to, or are these changes so subtly phrased in Watchtower literature that they don't realise the significance/extent of these changes and how serious they are?

If he does and understands everything as he is supposed too- then I'll be OK. I've not done badly. If he doesn't exist then fair enough I haven't spent all my time in church. If he's evil then what's the point of trying to be good to please him.

All in all do well and don't worry!
