Religion & Spirituality - 14 November 2007

The existence or nonexistence of a God still lacks any tangible evidence on either side. Both are as yet, unprovable. Does this make Agnosticism the only logical conclusion. Ignoring the harm (and/or good) that religion may bring about. This is a question solely about a Deity's existence rather than the idea of being areligious.

The Qur'an asks:

'O FOLLOWERS of earlier revelation (Christian and Jews)! Why do you argue about Abraham, seeing that the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed till [long] after him? Will you not, then, use your reason?'

If you dont beleave .Live it up life is short and no one can stop you from doing what feels good . Your are in the majority anyhow most people live a life they concider to be good. We know that there is not a person who is a good man. we all come short so we try to understand what it will take to bring us close to God not just live a good life so again I say you have it easy.

My whole life has been a giant (27 year) streak of bad luck it seems. It would take forever to type all of the ridiculous crap that has happened to me but basically I've been robbed, beaten, abused, lied to, cheated on, stabbed in the back, etc, non-stop. I'm not saying that stuff doesn't happen to other ppl, what I'm trying to say is that it's ALL that happens to me. There's no good to balance it out. I could write a novel just on the two serious live-in relationships I've been in alone. Both guys turned out to be pathalogical liars (I didn't find out who they truly were till AFTER I left them, and I lived w/ one for SEVEN YEARS). They both had serious mental issues (which of course they hid VERY well in the beginning). Both bf's were abusive, both stole tons of my belongings when I finally did leave them. Aside from that, 99.9% of the ppl in my life that I thought were friends ended up being two faced, back stabbing, liars just using me for one thing or another.

I've been wondering this all my life . Do you get reincarnated but with a new appearence? Do you go to Heaven/Hell? Do you become a ghost? Do you sleep for a long time watching your past like a movie?

So, the dinosaurs were on the earth millions (billions?) of years ago, and there is obvious scientific proof of that... if there is such a person as "God" who put the first humans on earth.. then who were on the earth first? Who would have put the dinosaurs on the earth? How did they get placed on the earth? Why, if God did not put the dinosaurs on the earth, then how did he all of a sudden "appear" to put the humans here... And is it not so, that after the dinosaurs, it was the stone age... and not the "Jesus" times...? What are your thoughts on this?

Okay, you know how God spared Lot and his family from Sodom and Gommorah because Abraham requested it? Is it possible for another man besides Abraham to obtain favor from God so that he will spare his loved ones even if they aren't "saved"?

The poor, common man needs to believe in a god.
The politician uses god to his benefit.
The wise man knows that a god does not exist.

What do you think?

Holidays are on us with Thanksgiving and Christmas to follow. Will you be able to spend this time with friends and family. Also if you have anyone overseas serving the in military will you be able to visit by phone or send a box of goodies.

About 15 days ago, one of the soldiers I served with at my reserve center was killed in Iraq, 7 days before their scheduled rotation home. Keep in touch will everyone you love, for many will be gone too soon.

As our year comes to a close, how will you spend these holidays.

Deut 7:25-26
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
(KJV)

He calls images, idols, graven images - or whatever creative euphemism you have heard for them evil.
Notice, these are God’s feelings. This is His reaction.

An Abomination - The feeling of extreme disgust and hatred,

To be Abhorred - To regard with horror or detestation; to shrink back with shuddering from; to feel excessive repugnance toward; to detest to extremity; to loathe.

Accursed - Doomed to destruction or misery

God cannot be more plain in regards to His feelings on this subject.

So stop trying to downplay your idolatry with “venerate”, “only ask for intercession”.

What you are doing is the most horrible kind of sin. God detests it, and ultimately He will not stand for it.

If telling the truth is anit-baptist, anti-charismatic, or anti-catholic, then Let God be true and every man a liar.

The Bible truly is the Sole Authority that God recognizes on the earth. Human traditions are rejected by Him.

I've been told the Hebrew language, like Arabic, has no vowels. It's written only with consonants. The name of God in Hebrew was always written with 4 dots representing 4 consonants - YHWH.

Let me preface this post by stating that I am a believer. Would you agree God needs satan? Where else would God send all the sinners and non-believers? Isn't satan, to a degree ,God's warden over hell? Does this make them cohorts? Satan needs souls and God is the provider, right? Without God, Satan would be out of business? Without satan ,God can't punish his creation. Does this really make sense?

What if theres nothing after we die?

I still believe in God, and I still have faith in Him, I just catch myself thinking about that every so often.

And no matter what, whats the harm in living a good lifestyle?

Theres nothing to loose, but if you choose to not believe in God but it is true then you've lost a lot.

If so, I can't imagine how they explain fish that can live on land and breathe through their skin instead of their gills.

Yet another nail in the creationist coffin:

A tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas can survive out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small tropical killifish, seeks refuge in shallow pools of water in crab burrows, coconut shells or even old beer cans in the tropical mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil.

When their habitat dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program in central Florida.

They group together in logs hollowed out by insects and breathe air through their skin instead of their gills until they can find water again.
