and because I beleive it to be so"

Would you consider calling a lunatic asylum to have them committed?

What if 10 people came up to you and made the same statement? What about a hundred ?

Even if there were hundreds of millions of people who beleived the same thing does that make it any more sane or rational?

With all the hatred on this site with the Catholic Church I bet you would be happy if the Church did not excist , no matter what Catholics say you will never believe us , to you we are liars and don't even know about our own Religion

This is one Catholic that is sick and tired of all the hatred against the Church on this site

What I want to know is people say we have our own God , so who is he, and are we liars about our own faith?

No disrespect to both.

Now, Muslims are allowed to eat pork if there is no other food available to them.

What about vegetarians?
If there was nothing but pork on the table, what would you do?

Simple question, if you are a non-believer what would it take to convince you that there is a God?

I am Catholic and choose to follow the last guidelines formally given by my faith. I am not saying this is a requirement, but my choice.

The good of our soul is more important than that of our body; and we have to prefer the spiritual welfare of our neighbor to our bodily comforts. If a certain kind of dress constitutes a grave and proximate occasion of sin, and endangers the salvation of your soul and others, it is your duty to give it up. O Christian mothers, if you knew what a future of anxieties and perils, of ill-guarded shame you prepare for your sons and daughters, imprudently getting them accustomed to live scantily dressed and making them lose the sense of modesty, you would be ashamed of yourselves and you would dread the harm you are making of yourselves, the harm which you are causing these children, whom Heaven has entrusted to you to be brought up as Christians."

Pius XII to Catholic Young Women's Groups of Italy

THIS LEAFLET DISTRIBUTED BY: THE LEAGUE FOR MODESTY IN DRESS, NY
The Church speaks about Modesty
Pope Benedict XV has taught very clearly about modesty in an encyclical letter (Sacra Propediem, 1921), commemorating the 7th centenary of the founding of the Franciscan Third Order.





"One can not sufficiently deplore the blindness of so many women of every age and station. Made foolish by a desire to please, they do not see to what degree the indecency of their clothing shocks every honest man and offends God. Most of them would formerly have blushed for such apparel as for a grave fault against Christian modesty. Now it does not suffice to exhibit themselves on public thoroughfares; they do not fear to cross the threshold of churches, to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and even to bear the seducing food of shameful passions to the Eucharistic Table, where one receives the Heavenly Author of Purity

Peace Be With You,

Many atheists claim there's no point to existence and are totally enamored of the THEORY of evolution. But if living creatures evolve in order to survive better, isn't SURVIVAL the point of existence?

The Church has changed a lot according to my teacher. Especially in the 1970s. But what actually changed?

According to Holy Qur'an the name of prophet Muhammad or Ahmad (p.b.u.h) is mention by name in the Gospel (Injeel):



"And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is Ahmad (the Praised One)." (Qur'an 61:6)



If you refer to Song of Solomon in Hebrew scripture, the name 'Muhammad' also mention there, please read Song of Solomon 5:16, it looks like this:

"Hikow mamtaqiym wkulow mahamadiym (MAHAMADIYM=Mohammed) zeh dowdiy wzeh ree`iy bnowt yruushaalaaim."

There have been quite a few instances where catholic priests are found guilty of sexual offences. If they are allowed to marry these instances will reduce.I respect principles of this religion and it hurts me to read such stories.

Why does it use "in", rather than "as"? Because, to say "in" the image of God would imply that there is already an image, and that man is being created within it, or that man is the picture/image, which is defined as a representation of something, of God? Are humans representations of God, or something else? This is not only a Christian or Jewish question.

I have learned that religious people even though they believe in "heaven" have a great fear of death that atheists and agnostics don't seem to share. Why is this?

Are there any positive qualities that you've gained through having to suffer or have these experiences only caused negative results in your life?

I don't believe in the existence of God (s) and I am against the idea of religions in all forms. However, I also think their are a lot of holes in the evolution argument. But I do believe through science, man can will eventually explain everything.

I tend to live my life to the best of my abilities, helping people whenever I can and developing my body and mind through martial arts.

I am also dedicated to my fiancé who I love dearly, which I am looking forward to starting a family with.

I prefer to rely on myself, and only ask for help when I know a task is too difficult.

What or how should I describe myself?
