Religion & Spirituality - 21 November 2007

I set up two chairs and put up a sign that says "Can I pray for you?" and simply let students, faculty and staff come up and talk. If they need a hug, I hug them. If they need a prayer, I pray for them, with them, over them - whatever they need. If they need to talk, I listen. Think it would get a response?

Mostly I'm asking because the bulk of campus ministers I've seen have been in-your-face, loud, and often condescending. I'm curious whether the opposite would have better results.

Prayer doesn't work, never has never will.

Positive thinking on the other hand......

I haven't been making fun of the religiously impaired in awhile, do people still ask "why there are still monkeys?"

I mean He came back to life. If I was planning to commit the perfect murder I'd be pissed if the victim came back to life.

i am doing a project called: why did jesus die?

does anyone have any information on this?
that maybe go under these subject headings?

1. Jesus died because of what he did:
e.g. upset the temple

2. Jesus died because of where he lived:
e.g. The romans did not agree with his beliefs

3.Jesus died because of when he lived:
e.g. people did not speak their mind, like Jesus did.


any information on WHY DID JESUS DIE?
is great.
even a sentence would be appreciated!
thankyou

I am completely serious. I have considered this in regards to myself. Please think it over before responding. Let's at least pretend that we are intelligent adults.

One source says 1.2 billion (2006 figure)
Another says 1.4 billion (2006 figure)
Another says 1.6 billion (2006 figure)
Another even says 2 billion (A Muslim of course)

I can understand a margin of error of a couple hundred million, but what's with the conflicting statistics?

Who's keeping track, and who subtracts from these figures when people leave Islam?

Or do you believe that attributing emotions to HIM is a form of anthropomorphism?

Ok christians, if your Jesus is the same as your god and your Jesus died on a cross for "our sins".
Why? Exactly what debt was he paying and to whom, by sacrificing himself if he is supposed to be your supreme being?

This miserable rant about how Jesus was coming and all the Christians would disappear and on and on....I thought I'd died and gone to hell just reading it! Please Christers, you're not qualified to try and save me through Y'A's inter-office memo
service......now THAT is abuse. Many of us spiritual people who don't subscribe to your" flavor", and flagrant flaunting of God's will, will.....proceed quite peacefully to the heaven of our own design........WITHOUT YOUR HELP! You meant well, God Bless you anyway......but you are SO arrogantly exclusionary
of the MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS!

I would say I am part of this movement. I think there really should be a "Christian left." Why? There are many strong, practicing christians that tend to vote democrat. Just seing if anyone out there agrees with me?

Both Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Church leaders make the identical claim that they gave the world the Bible.
If both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches make the same claim they gave the world the Bible, why do they have different books in each of their Bibles?
Who should we believe?
