Religion & Spirituality - 13 November 2007

(That is, according to the Christian Bible.) I've been told this by a couple people and I don't understand where they get it from. I mean, I know about God giving humans dominion over the animals in Genesis, but he doesn't say you have to eat them, does he? And I know the bit about Peter's dream that says "Here are some animals. Eat them." But I got the impression that was more about permission than about saying you can't be a good person without eating animals.

"The Bible says that soon God will make a change and that there will be no more suffering or death (Rev. 21:4)."

The bible was written so long ago, and yet people still say that SOON god will make a change. Soon is relative, especially when it was written so long ago. If this 'soon' has not come yet, then I would be inclined to say that god can see the whole of time. Therefore he knows that even the present now is 'soon', compared with the end of existence. This being the case, 'soon' could take hundreds, thousands, millions of years more.

This is purely theoretical. I don't actually believe it, but it is something that makes you think.

i honestly think that I forgot how to pray normally i do a holy father and a hail marie and then take my Bible...but with school being so intense i dont do that but say a little personal prayer to God...i feel a rift between us so to avoid that i want to "relearn" how to pray again...any advice? obviously I'm a Roman Catholic, any CONSTRUCTIVE and UNBIAS advice will be appreciated, but if you feel like telling me i'm the whore of Babylon or i'm in the wrong faith or find God or whatever, I'll gladly ignore you. thank you in advance.

Some people lied to me and I just want to point out a message in the bible to show them that telling a lie is hurtful and that telling a lie can bring you to hell. I just want to let these two people know that telling hurtful lies is not good.

As with every majority issue arise. Discrimination against the minority is one them. Since atheists hold on to the notion people who have a belief are delusional, poor, uneducated, incapable of grasping science and mathematics, are easily manipulated, need something to believe in, and are easily addicted (opiate of the masses) how would these sentiments come into play if atheists were in the minority?

Sure law and civil rights laws are a factor, however what of opinions, stereotypes, and perceptions. Even homosexuals will tell you that although they are protected by laws, they still must deal with negative opinions. It is changing now, but that change is currently happening, there is still progress that must be made.

So what if the population of atheists grew to a majority? How would that affect jobs, housing, and political representation of theists?

what about all the other churches. I know people say that they are saved through the Church by Christ but how can they be if they have not received the sacraments or a least been to confession.

I know lots of people in Evangelical churches and apart from a few "crazies" (maybe more than a few) they are all God loving people.

I also find the services more involving, better music etc, I supose I am just trying to turn worship into a concert.

Also how come non-catholics who are following christ have so much trust in pastors and denominations that have been around 50 years. I know its bible based but the Catholics put the thing together.

i am confused!!!

You know, those dreams that are so precious to you that you hold them close to your vest, because talking about them casually would almost seem like you were devaluing them?

What do you TRULY want to accomplish in life?

I know, by talking about them here you're talking casually about them, but this is the internet so anonymity does afford some protection for your dreams.

talk me through the days leading up to and including December 25. Not that I celebrate Christmas, I am just interested to learn what you do at that time of the year when most of the civilized world seems to be "celebrating". do you hang out with family? do you do anything special? or is just another day?

Thanks for your time in reading and answering my question.

Hello!! So, I am writing a paper for a class (Anth 332, Shamanism and Healing) on people's experiences of losing a loved one, sensing the presence of those who have passed on, etc. etc. Please, answering even just ONE of these questions would help, as long as you don't mind possibly being quoted in a paper. Thank you soooooooo much!!!!!

1.Have you ever been close to someone who has died? If so, who? How close were you?
2.Have you ever felt a strong sense of the presence of someone who has died?
3.Have you ever had vivid memories of someone who has died?
4.Vivid dreams?
5.Do certain sights, sounds, smells, etc. bring back strong memories of a person?
6.Do certain places (specific or unspecific) give you a strong sense of the dead?
7.Have you ever felt the presence of a person/people that you did NOT personally know? (i.e. being in a place and sensing spirits of people who died long ago, sensing past unrest)

The typical Christian views range from: "God is incorporeal", "he is everywhere", "he lives in a different dimension", "he's omnipresent/omniscient"


to: "He made us humans in his own image", "Jesus sits on the right hand of the Lord", "God feels/sees/thinks", etc

So what is it then? Does God have body parts or not? If so, when you say "he's everywhere", are his feet and arms in the same place at the same time? Or in different places?
