Religion & Spirituality - 10 November 2007

most atheists (not to generalize) uses the question, "why would bad things happen to good people if God is truly good?"

well, what is your definition of "good" people?
Nobody is perfect, for all have fell short of the glory of God.

Find me someone who truly deserves the kingdom of heaven because they are "good" then we'll talk.

only Jesus is deserving, thats why He sacraficed His life so that we who are un-deserving may also enter heaven.

Why in the world did the antimormons of the message board have to chime in? Can't you people just shut up for 2 seconds and wait for someone to actually direct a question twds you?


And before anyone goes off on free speech, yeah its a message board and you have free speech, but the question was asking about what the book of mormon contains. It wasnt asking why all mormons are wrong, in a cult, and going to hell. Do you anti mormons really think you are going to bring people to your side by answering like this?

Christianity follows Judaism in teaching that sex is reserved for marriage, where one man and one woman become one flesh. Those who want to have sex outside of marriage find this bothersome, and to resolve the cognitive dissonance between their behavior and beliefs, they change their beliefs. Some try to have their cake and eat it to by claiming God wants an amorphous "love" that includes sex outside of marriage, but they do not find corroboration in biblical texts for this compromise.

Isn't this the real reason for atheism, agnosticism, New Age paganism, and postchristian liberalism--a chafing at sexual restrictions?

What is with this constant global denial of our true natures? What's up with the terror in knowing that you have lived before in other bodies and will do so forever? How many times does God have to tell us the same things over and over across thousands of years in a million ways before we catch-on?

I understand what Osama did and whatever else, and theres two different kinds of arabians, theres MUSLIM and theres CHRISTIAN, you cant go and hate christian arabians because they are arabian, and you cant hate muslims because of what osama did, hate the ones that agree with what happend on september 11. Im christian arabian, and I dont tell anyone, cause my cousin, who everyone loves, told people hes arabian, and they keeps saying annoying jokes when hes mad like DONT BOMB MY HOUSE, even though he doesnt care, and he laughs about it, I really think its annoying.

Since past couple of weeks, all my muslim brethren visiting this site and myself have been reiterating the fact that ISLAM does not allow killing of any person plainly because he/she belongs to a different faith, that the verses of QURAAN instigating killing of infidels has a context-it refers to those days when islam was establishing its feet, hence fighting and killing those infidels trying to eradicate Islam from the face of the earth was nothing but 'DEFENCE' and will continue to be the strategy 'WHENEVER' such a situation comes up again[just like the military forces behave at the border of any country], that OSAMA is no authority in ISLAM and a True muslim follows PROPHET MUHAMMAD(P.B.U.H) who's teachings are far different from what OSAMA has projected. We muslims, visiting this forum, together condemn the activities of 'TERRORISTS' and declare that they are not believers of ISLAM.
Inspite of such positive efforts from our end the response is far from encouraging. I can actually categorize the nomuslims asking questions about ISLAM on this forum. There are those who are genuinely interested in knowing about ISLAM, they refuse to buy the bilge propogated by all sorts of western and (these days) indian media and are actually looking for clarifications. This reflects in questions they pose and emails they write to us. The other lot is that of some perverts who have nothing else to do in life and get some high by sounding like an ex member of some flop polarized political group. They write all the filth they can about ISLAM and everything to do with ISLAM. They write pre-independence times slogans like 'LEAVE MY COUNTRY', 'GO TO SAUDI ARABIA', 'LEAVE INDIA' & all such remarks failing to provoke even the ants in my garden. When this does'nt work, they accuse us of having multiple accounts and answering our own questions, sending hate mails to nonmuslims. All their efforts efforts if combined, seems like a bogus modus operandi to deliberately show ISLAM in a bad frame. However, their threats are nothing more than bubbles waiting to burst as these pussycats lack the bone to keep their email ids’ public

i think i have obsessive compulsive disorder, so i do things that i don't want to do and i have unwanted thoughts sometimes
a few years ago, i said f***ing jesus, which i really don't mean because im christian and i have nothing again him at all
i also have a rule where saying it in my mind is ok because i did it a numerous times, but saying it out loud or mumbling it, i can't bear it
so a few years ago, i said it out loud or mumbling, i can't remember well
a few days ago, i did it again, mumbling it
i think that i only said the f word and didn't say his name
but i felt guilty, but im ok now
but it's going to haunt me again some time later on
if i didn't mean it, then is it fine, or do i have to ask for forgiveness

Like when Christians ask a question intended for lots of folks to answer, and then they choose a BA that reflects what is "correct" according to what they believe. Isn't Y!A a place to ask questions you don't already know the answers to, and to ask (and consider) the opinions of others? When it's used this way, isn't it more like holding Bible study in R&S?

I was going to ask for a show of hands, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the atheistic regulars here in the Religion and Spirituality section signifcantly outnumber those who believe in some higher power, whether Christian or other.

Setting sarcasm and other witty non-answers aside, I'm simply asking why you all think this is so?

I'm Agnostic, so I find myself having to "spar" with both ends. However I've noticed, that Atheists are quite adamant, and very angry when it comes to their beliefs (or lack thereof).

Yes, the same can be said about Christians, but in their case, they're defending a religious belief (not saying they're justified).

Is being baptized a requirement? Remember back up your answer with proof of the bible. I know for sure it is read John 3:2-5 and Mark 16:16 These prove baptism is essential for being saved. Jesus himself said these words. Some people believe only by confession and repentance you are saved. No where in the bible does it say that you are born again after you repent. So please prove to me where (in the bible) It states only with the mouth. Romans 10:9- 10:13 are good but they are disciples of Christ when Christ himself said be baptised.
