Religion & Spirituality - 25 November 2007

When you think about it, it makes sense. God decides who gets roasted alive for eternity, God decides who is tortured, and who is not. The devil merely "manages" Hell.

what if the ultimate purpose is to reject God and live a life without him? what if that was why he gave us free will, so we can meet the challenge of a godless life? what if belief is nothing more than a crutch we're supposed to move on from?

Or would you wait until you have more information about me before you judge my character?
It saddens me when I tell someone I don't believe in God and they immediately write me off as rude, crude, immoral, disrespectful and a waste of space.

There is suppose to be a separation but public schools still have religious teachings. They justify this by saying it's history, they just can't preach it. But in choir I had to sing songs about god and write essays about the difference between different religions. So is there really a separation or are they preaching in other ways? And Why should these "historic" teachings be forced upon non-believers?

I dont mean what books are in there that are not in the other bibles.
What I mean is, what do those extra books talk about? Why are they not included in other bibles (KJV, NIS, for example)?

Or to let it happen if you could stop it.

And all their descendants too.

If you knew someone like that, would you want to be friends with him (or her)?

Apparently that's what God does.

Is that someone you wanna be friends with?

(OK, I know it may not have been an apple. Let's say a peach or something. The question still stands.)

There was an episode in national geograhic channel, few years back, that the true birthdate of Christ is April 17 6BC. Based on their calculations, there's a discrepancy on the calendar being used during that time. If do so, is there a need to change for the Christian world the date/season for Christmas celebration?

Identities can be faked. Passports, social security cards are for sale on the black market. You can photoshop family photos.
What proof do I have that YOU are actually real and that I'm not just completely alone in this section talking to a bunch of computer generated avatars?

I know that the FSM is a ficticious deity created by an Atheist to mock theists. I know the basics of its inception--it was a concept introduced by Robert Henderson a few years ago, as a model deity to help protest Intelligent Design being taught in Kansas schools.

But I am curious as to the deeper nature of the 'religion.' Is there any actual doctrine, life-lessons, etc... that have been developed as part of Pastafarianism since its inception? Has anyone delved further into what Pastafarianism truly is?

To ask in simpler terms: you know those 'Star Trek' dorks that can speak fluent Klingon--are there also FSM dorks out there that have actually formalized Pastafarianism? And if so where can I find their Holy Cook-Book? Wiki kinda comes up short.

I'm not looking for inspiration or enlightenment (maybe amusement, though). I'm just curious... again, I know it's a deliberate fake. (Atheists, I point that out to protect myself from my own brethren... no offense meant to y'all

I'm planning on purchasing a new version of the bible, I was reading through the King James version and some of it is hard to understand and translate into contemporary english.

What I would like to know is, what is the difference between NIV and NLT? I read excerpts from both, and they seem mostly the same. Can you guys please recommend one or the other and please let me know your opinion on why you prefer that version.

Thank you!

what i mean that this universe has infinit life time and Hindu is the oldest religion still we have the record from Satyug only .

we know about the Lord Sri Rama and the Lord Sri Krishna as the Human God . do we have any scripture which tells us about the God incarnation like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna before the last cycle of Satyug,dwapar,treyta kaliyug

My main concern is that before Satyug there might be Kaliyug and we can know the Dharma for Kaliyug. please share your knowledge

prolifers - can you explain to me prolifers who support the death penalty? usually one is indicative of the other. isn't all life precious? or is it only the life you see fit to allow to live?

prochoicers - can you explain to me prochoicers who feel who are against cruelty to animals? usually one is indicative of the other as well. understandably, you don't feel the life inside a woman is a human, but is it not still a life? i'm amazed at the lengths some people will go to save a cow from becoming a hamburger, but not show the same respect to a fetus.

Sorry to not pose a question but I'm referring to a question asked by "the silent pen" tempting Christians to go to their main street and shout that they want to tell everyone about Jesus. I did not take you up on the offer to openly blare out about Jesus. Instead I worked through my actions, I was positive when conversing in the shopping mall and I received positivity back. I even had a person give me a tiny drawing of a smily face as a token of their good will. So, I failed your test. But I helped make several people happy, hopefully this has made you happy too.
