Religion & Spirituality - 20 November 2007

Why is it that the state has to stay out of the affairs of the church but the church doesn't have to stay out of the affairs of the state? To me it seems that government can not interfere with religion or with the church but when the church voices out against something of the government or state, people usually oblige to their demands and change things because of them in the government. Why is this? Does separation of church and state only apply to the state not being able to interfere and allow the church to interfere with government? I know this is not true and that the deal goes both ways but to me it seems that the church interferes alot with the government.

i love God and the catholic faith
espacially when God saved me from being a satanist.....
even though i am not baptised but i realised this..God is a father more then my father on earth...Mary is my mother more then my mother on earth
why is it that all my friends (their catholic)
seem like they only pray when it fits best for them...or when they are told to...
but me i am not baptised but i pray a rosary everynight before i go to bed...
i pray for people who hate me, for my friends even when they hate me, for all my friends
i barely ever pray for myself unless its for forgiveness of sins
i pray for everything to be good for them...
nothing for me

am i being misleaded
i dont want to sound like anti catholic but
catholics are suppose to be caring loving people
who are selfless
but thats not what i see when i look at some of my catholic friends

am i being tricked to go back to satan
what the hell is wrong with me
idk if this helps but my parents are buddahist

She slept with the devil child K-Fed. She defiled with silicon her supple breasts which were meant for nourishing her babies. I know her babies aren't circumcised or baptised. She has partaken of alcoholic beverages and stuck satanic substances in her nose. Worse of all, she has disobeyed traffic laws and she put out another album of devil music.

Were you nice once? When I first started on R&S I was a very calm, tolerant individual. Now I cannot even see or hear the word "Christian" without becoming agitated and my blood pressure rising ten points. Are there demons on Yahoo!? Is it the computer that makes me feel antagonistic? Why is this happening???????

They found a way to do stem-cell research and reproduction WITHOUT the use of embryos this weekend in Japan and the US. While it's still brand new and tentative, this could be major. How do you feel about this? Atheists, did any of you have an objection to it in the first place, or is that generally reserved for the religious? I'm sure you Christians are stoked, but share your feelings as well if you'd like.

Spent on new clothes, or a new "toy" (aka TV, computer, car), how much they speant on jewelry for their wife...etc.

But when it comes to how much they donated it's "between them and the lord"

I understand it's personal...but isn't that just a little 2 faced??

Just a rough figure....how much have you donated in the past year?

And this doesn't include basket offerings...that just goes to paying the bills and to pay the preacher...

Could you eventually get to 1,000,000 by taking very very very small, incremental steps towards such an end?

Also...

Is the distinction between "micro" and "macro" evolution a bit silly?

Muslims Declare that Terrorism (WTC, BALI, MADRID, SAUDI BOMB) are Misused things in the name of relegion. But westeren peoples seems dont care about this. They Blame Muslims as ISLAM it self as religion of barbar and etc.

But when Muslims declare that what USA maked on killing Innocent peoples in Afghan and Iraq as TERRORIST action, western got ANGRY!

Western thinks they are always clean and what they make just want to make something Better. (Muslims dont think so).

Muslims think that : some western peoples are Dirty because they make Freesex, Drugs Consume, Alcohol Consume and Individualist, love to kill innocent peoples in the name of peace and etc.

:) Sorry my english not so good.
