Religion & Spirituality - 11 November 2007

I'm a true good girl, i'm not a "goody goody" but i've always been the type of person w. a good head on my shoulders. I've been raised by strict, old fashioned parents and have had good morals. I'm not easy, i don't play hard to get, i just am. I have good judgement when it comes to guys and know when it's got real potential for love and lust.

I've done something i feel ashamed of...i know people have diff standards and what i did was "nothing" but it's definitely "out of character" for me. I'm in my early 20's going through one of the most confusing and hard times. I'm going through a "divorce" w a best friend that i can't shake off and deal with which has led me to be vulnerable, sad, lonely. I didn't have sex but did things that lead up to it w. someone i wasn't in a loving relationship w. :(

I'm not a hardcore religious person but i have a lot of faith in God. I feel ashamed and feel like i'm cheating on myself when i wake up in the morning...what do i do?

Doesn't everything depend on something dying.

Isn't it in out nature to be brutal animals?

Shouldn't we let our animalistic tendencies out?

Shouldn't the beast be allowed to roam free, the chains released and the claws unsheathed?

What do you think?

When I was a kid, I never believed in Santa. Not because anyone told me not to, but because I learned somewhere along the way that it was about Jesus...

the other reason being that I noticed that all the presents from "santa" had my mom's handwriting.

I always thought that I would teach my kids that Santa is fictional. And that the true meaning is about Jesus, etc.

My hubby thinks it's better to teach him about Santa. But I think that just sets him up for disappointment when he learns the truth.

What did you think as a kid and what did/will you teach your kids?

Just want to get some various opinions on the matter.

Lake of fire, no denyin'
all around, sinners fryin'
A beautiful sight!
Jesus came back tonight!
Walking in a CHRISTian wonderland

Gone away is the sunlight
Here to stay the relgious right
The sky's raining fire
It's what God desires
Walking in a CHRISTian wonderland

In the bible there is armageddon
and we crave it like we crave the air
getting off on condemning our fellow men
We'll be watching you from way up there!

Later on, we'll conspire
as we watch you catch on fire
To face unafraid, the God that we made
Walking in a CHRISTian wonderland!

I am in a bind.
im 32 and my husband and I want a baby. Really bad.
We have tried everything accept going into the medical aspect.
Invitro is out but My DR. wants me to start a fertility drug right before my husband comes home from Iraq.
I have been told that this is against the Catholic religion. Is this true?
I absolutly do not understand it.
Its not like an invitro process it just enhances the ovulation process, Thats it.
If the view is, that God wants you to have a child then he will give you one, then is my option of adopting out. Its the same concept.
I really need a few knowlegable people to help answer my question. Thank you

It's about time too. The more sin there is in the world, the more peaceful the world seems to be. Back in the middle ages when belief in God was at it's highest, the world was as violent as it has ever been. I think we should embrace sin. Sin has brought more peace to this world than any loving God ever has.

Adam the mudman
was a jolly happy soul
with a ribgirl wife
bellybuttonless
and a lack of self control

Adam the mudman
was a fairy tale they say
He was made of mud
Cain spilled Abel's blood
and he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that old fig leaf God found
For when God placed it on his crotch, he began to dance around........

As many of you may know from my previous questions, I am a "regular" here in this section of Yahoo answers, but I am posting under this account because I'm way too embarassed to use my "real" account to ask these questions. The reason for this is I have developed a HUGE crush on a fellow regular and it's getting kind of out of control and I'm not sure how to handle it. (see my other q's for details.)

anyway my question for you now is, how to approach something like this. she is my friend, and also considers me her friend. Both of us have been on here awhile, and have struck up a friendship apart from Y!A also. I really want to bring it up, but don't think I should just throw it at her all at once. any advice to help a fellow R&ser out?

I mean I'm agnostic so I don't hate Christians, but the feeling of being alone in a strange room with only a book that I find depressing is not nice.

However having a bath and turning on the TV helps.

This question gets asked all the time, yes, but the answers aren't always the same.

Science just makes too much sense to me, and so much of the Bible plays off like a soap opera. (ie "the crows cawed three times and Peter wept.") With science, they try to enlighten you with the latest information, but with the churches they seem to conceal so much information. With such a secretive society, how is it that anyone outside of religion can see the light?

Mathew 5 says Jesus said: 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

So I guess the Muslim men's answer was: "Okey so we just cover the women from head to toes, even in the heat of the day; and keep them apart. So "us men" will not commit such horrible sin"!

I'm curious what other people think.

I think it is. It gives you a worldview, and based on that worldview you compose your morals, and execute your actions everyday. So, although atheists by definition are nonreligious people, they in fact are religious in that they live by the belief there is no God.

Thoughts?

*I narrowed the entirety of contextual connotative implication into 9 words-
wisdom education technology opinion media law resource business politics

*my vocabulary is catagorized by 12 matrices- materialization folding weaving jumping grasping imaging prophecizing scanning binding teleporting cooking commanding

*my tone is layered into 6 depths- perspective intervention relationship morality specialness perception

i like to think people aren't meant to talk to each other so well but i REALLY want people to just put up and tolerate each other and this language can boost communication but i really invented it to give people the right lead into being insightful and existing of insight and self-lessness.. i don't ever want to just market this as a language but maybe as a religion for those who are bound by new age nonsense

"If anyone secretly entices you--even if it is your brother, your father's son or your mother's son, or your own son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your most intimate friend-- saying, "Let us go worship other gods" you must not yield to or heed any such persons. Show them no pity or compassion and do not shield them. But you shall surely KILL them; your own hand shall be first against them to execute them, and then the hand of all the people. Stone them to death for trying to turn you away from the Lord your God." (Deut 13:6-10)

Why did the GOD of the Old Testament say to KILL all the NON-BELIEVERS ?
"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed. (Exodus 22:20)

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
