Religion & Spirituality - 22 November 2007

I'm Catholic and right now, I'm taking religion classes to get my Confirmation next Spring...

As I was reading the Bible, I thought of a question...
It says to love all neighbors and God loves everyone and created everyone and forgives and tells us to love everyone.
BUT
why is the Christian community so discriminative against homosexuals?

I mean, I have a few homosexual friends and when you get past their sexual orientation, they're really nice people.

After the time of Jesus were the ultimate hippies selling there houses and living in communes. They also gave up work and partied because they thought the end of the world was coming. What happened?

I know Catholics have not outright accepted evolution but have allowed the possibility. My question is this. If you are a Catholic who accepts evolution what does that do to the idea of original sin? If Adam and Eve is only allegory and the Garden of Eden never existed then man did not fall. Or do you think man evolved and then God put them into the Garden?

The Earth breathes, watch Al Gore's movie. The Earth moves, research the tectonic plate movement. The Earth sustains all other life forms that evolve from it. The Earth is alive like you and I. Without the Earth you would not be... The Earth is the only true god.

Such as turning Europa's or Titan's oceans into wine or displaying a chariot of fire on the surface of Mars, or even some scripture (scrolls) on a comet.....heck, some nice cross on the moon....

Why, if he knew we would one day reach those places, didn't he leave some signs like those he's supposedly left here on Earth?

Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

Jos 24:15 -
And if it seemeth evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

This is not an unforgiveable sin even by your NWT bible, so how come you treat it as such

when one is disfellowed is one allowed back

by disfellowing are you not practicing the same catholic ritual as ex-communication

since JW's believe themselves as the only true religeon then disfellowship = damnation, if that person is no longer to be able to hear YOUR word and be saved by it?

Why do you value the donation of blood over the life it is supposed to save?

is the blood more important than the life?

why sign a pledge?
Does the bible not say we should have no oaths before God?

surely with the parable of the good samaritan, the jews refused to help the man because they would be made unclean,
and did their best to observe the law

but the samaritan with no law to observe stepped in and saved the man

what do you loearn from this parable?

And if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? Don't you think it would be safer for you to believe in God? Because, if you don't believe in God and you're wrong, you'll roast in hell forever and ever. But, if you believe in God and you're wrong, you've lost nothing. Right? Anyways, why are you even here? This is a RELIGION section. Is it because misery loves company? How can you believe something came from nothing? Can an airplane fly through a junkyard and create a tornado?

Some noob asked a similar question, but it actually made me think. My first thought was that the asker was baiting Christians to answer with something like "They should all be killed and made to face God," but then I realized that killing a bunch of atheists wouldn't actually end the existence of atheism. Atheism is an idea; it doesn't end with its believers as long as there is still the potential for someone else to learn about it and start believing in it.

So, how could you *peacefully* prevent anyone from having a certain belief? My thought is that ending a religion would be far easier than preventing anyone from disbelieving one. The first step in either direction would be to saturate the school system-- that is, teach everyone about how evil religion x is, or teach them to be evangelical Christians from day one.

I'm still not sure, though. Please reply with your thoughts.
