If you believe that contraception shouldn't be allowed because the genitles should only be used to procreate, does this mean that knowingly infertile people that have sex are commiting a sin?

I'm trying to find the religion that best worships God. I've been to baptist, non-denominational, methodist and pentocostal churches. Doing my own research, I find that none of these religions strictly follow the bible, so maybe I should follow my own. Also, it seems that catholicism has been around longer so I figured this is a good one but why do they believe in Mary and Saints and worship them more?

Faith - believing in something for which there is no proof.

There have been times when I've seen and felt negative spirits, *** if my soul and /or body were being invaded. Often times, there seems to be black figures surrounding me. I was once told that the devil was trying to get my soul with permission from God. What's going on?

Any examples?

Is it me or are most theologists answers to almost every religious question to quote what they have been told rather than apply their own logic.

Maybe it was just harder to sell the 'good news book of logic'?

Allan Shore's (James Spader) tirade on ast night's episode of Boston Legal was reminiscent of Nazi propaganda. Is this the opening volley in a new wave of open anti-semitism?

btw: The writing on Boston Legal has never been friendly to religion in America, but this episode was far more egregious.

About what we each believe? Do you not realize how foolish we all look especially to non Christians and non believers? They are having a field day with this. Shouldn't we be more focused on other things instead such as spreading the message that Jesus wanted us to share with others? Isn't God the only one who can truly judge any of us when it's all said and done? Shouldn't we also be showing people what a Christian is supposed to be? That's why I don't spend much time here to be quite honest with all of you.

My father was not really a part of my life growing up. My parents divorced when I was 7 and prior to the divorce my dad would pretty much work, come home and then watch sports. He didn't take much interest in his kids. He was very violent and constantly yelling at my mom or his children, on more then one occasion he got physical with my mom or siblings. I kind of grew up being afraid of him. He really wasn't much of my life all through school, only showing up to some sporting events and in my view more interested in women then his kids.

Now that I am an adult I don't really talk to my dad, months go by, maybe even a year and we don't talk. Recently we spoke and he asked me why I didn't want to have a relationship with him and that he was sad he daughter didn't want to get to know him.

I want to forgive him, but I don't want to be hurt anymore and I don't want to be mistreated either...How do you go about putting a relationship like this back together or should you try?

Supernatural Manifestation in Photograph Said to Change Drug-User's Life
[Joe] is convinced that the photo captured the demon associated with his drugs, and praying for deliverance, he now carries the picture with him as a reminder, and shares with others the reality of evil, especially as it relates to drug addictions.

Teresa Neumann (November 7, 2007)

(Aurora, Colorado)—Many people are probably familiar with what I call the "bubble" phenomenon. It occurs when pictures are developed and they reveal floating, iridescent spheres that were not visible to the naked eye at the time the photograph was taken.

That said, I must admit I initially had reservations about this particular article because of the subject matter, and the manner in which the news presented the story of drug-user Joe Martinez of Aurora, Colorado, in which a photograph of him reveals the presence of a "demon." I also, at first, questioned the fact that the news commentators used phrases such as "paranormal" to describe it (can we expect any differently from a secular report?), and ran the picture in question by paranormal research society "experts" to determine if it was authentic. They were, by the way, stumped.

Watching the news video, however, led me to deem this story worthy of viewing.

The photograph in question is, well, chilling...whether one is a Christian or not. It was snapped eight years ago at a 50th anniversary reception for Martinez' in-laws. At the time, briefly glancing at the photo, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary, and it was filed away with other photographs in an album.

Martinez was apparently a heavy drug user, not only at the time the photo was taken, but up until recently, when he and another family member rediscovered the photograph while reminiscing. It was then, upon closer inspection, that a clearly wolf-like face was seen peering out from behind Martinez' left shoulder.

The remarkable thing about this story is that it has reportedly changed Joe's life. He is convinced that the photo captured the demon associated with his drugs, and praying for deliverance, he now carries the picture with him as a reminder, and shares with others the reality of evil, especially as it relates to drug addictions.

I just read a little bit of what Phillip Pullmans book The "Golden Compass" is about hearinga lot about the movie. And I gotta say, for a guy who claim religion and religious people put out a lot of hate and EVIL. He's sure doing a pretty good job himself! Bill Maher has a documentary coming out next year thats suppose to bashing faith and God as well. Not to mention the endless book and what not.

If you're someone who believes in God whether of an organized faith or not. If you're a spiriutal person. Does this stuff offend you? Does it bother you? Or is this just apart of the consumer culture we live in?

EXCUSE ANY SPELLING MISTAKES!

Examples: A rosary hanging on your rear view mirror, a small St. Christopher statue, etc...

Heck, let's even throw in the bumper sticker that says "You Can't Be Both Catholic and Pro-Choice"

I find that one of the best times to pray the rosary is during my morning commute and my vehicle is never without a rosary.

Why do you guys fight about something that the answer will be answered when you die? I mean Christians believe you go to heaven or hell, and atheists believe that the conciseness just ends. So either way one will find out or not. So why fight about it now?
