I view the term "god" akin to "deity" - something that is more powerful than humans (to put it loosly). I don't view it as any particular god, as there is no name attached to it! Simply saying God doesn't mean the Hebrew god (capilized or not) - it could mean Pagan gods, nature, ect. Depending on your view, it doesn't have to be a living creature or something to communitate with. Of course, this is MY opinion (brought up by how some people get all upity with the "In God we Trust" thing on US currency).

So, what does the simple term "GOD" mean to you?

I as most who read my questions know i don't believe in the Christian religion. This does not effect my personal belief in a higher power or God. I just don't believe in Christianity. If anyone would like to debate me and prove me wrong via yahoo messenger email me your yahoo user name and id be more then happy to debate someone. I'm not coming here to cause any kind of trouble or use foul language i just simple want to debate.

Pardon the poor sentence structure.

Me, I'm thinking static electricity. Some kid shuffles across the carpet and touches his kid sister on the ear , that was me.

How many things are there that are Pagan?
Would we find ourselves unable to put flowers on a loved ones grave if we avoided it because it was a Pagan practice.
Would we not be able to wear a certain color of clothing?
Would we have to avoid certain foods.
Could we have a birthday party for a 5 year old grandbaby.
Would we have to do away with the virgin birth?

I think you get my meaning here, at least I hope that you do.Now will we allow satan to lock us up in a box so that we are afraid to do anything, or will we walk in the spirit, celebrating our own holidays without fear of man?


Romans 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

i just went to confession today during religion class (i go atleast once every 2 or so months) and well the priest from my parish who i am well aquanted with. i am in the youth group he runs, i took his confirmation class, he is basically the yourth minister.

well he did confession at my school and i had to go to him. being the advent season i admited everything (something i normally dont do-i konw it is bad that i dont) but i told him how i borrowed a dollar ffrom a friend without her knowing. (now i will have you know that it was only $1!!! and that i paid her back in person! and explained it all. it is a justifiyable story)

well when it came to giving me my penance, he asked "well how much did you steal?" and i said "only a dollar but i paid her back in full and in person."

but now all i can do is think of his face when i said that and all i can do is think that he will hold it against me or atleast think of me differently. hold on more to come

Maybe not. But it brakes my heart to see so many ADULT brothers and sisters of mine fooling themselves with things like God, Heaven, Soul, etc..
I wish I was a bit more CREDULOUS too.

Let's see hypothetically, you can disprove evolution to a point that most of the credible scientists in the world would agree. Not likely, but let's say it for the sake of argument (Don't post links, you can post those on the 10 evolution argument posts per day)

How would this prove a Christian God? Why not Allah? Odin? Giant Turtle God? There are a lot of religions that have the concept of deity or deities creating the Earth. If so, it would make none of them more credible than the other.

If anything, it would just boost deists.

Then how do you mandate any law to a person where right or wrong is not a factor just obeying society's law is?

If what is right for one person but wrong for the other should one view be forced over another?

If someone says Abortion, Homosexuality, sex outside of marraige
assisted suicide is wrong should those people have the right to believe this way without being labeled intolerant? or does societal pressure rule?

I am from the UK and it seems that religion plays a very big part in the electorial process in the US.

This is completely different in the UK, where Tony Blair mentioned recently that he didn't mention his religious beliefs in any big way so he wouldn't be thought of as a 'nutter'.

It is true that in the UK, if religion is mentioned as a factor in a decision, it is treated with a huge amount of scepticism.

Do you feel that politicians have gone too far down this track in the US

Twice in the last 24 hours, I have been amazed at the lengths some 'Christians' will go to. In response to two separate posts where someone is genuinely asking for more info on Judaism, two Christian yahoo users have given links to Christian missionary sites - and pretended they were providing details on Judaism.

I hope the majority of decent Christians will join me in condemning this?

And yep, I'm going to name and shame the two that did it: stand up SAGE and SUZANNE.

Suzanne did it yesterday: someone asked for info about the Jewish Torah/Tanakh and Suzanne swiftly put up a link to a site that totally distorts what is said in the Tanakh.

Tonight, someone else has asked for more detailed info on Judaism and SAGE gave a link to a site that again, has NOTHING to do with Judaism.

Is this being a good Christian, to try and deceive people?

If God gave you something its there for a reason ie, eyes legs even down to eyelashes to stop dust from getting in our eyes......... so why would the same god want us to self modify his design ?

i have seen several inferences in this area that catholics are not true christians. i cant figure it out. catholics are the foundation of christianity, they decided what went into the bible, the mass is centered around the bible, peter whom jesus called his "rock" was the first pope, the whole church and sacraments are christ centric. why the intolerance?

OK.. so my wife is selling her bacon today.. thinly sliced wrapped around some fresh asparagus spears... in a supermarket in a region known to be a traditional Muslim district. (Don't ask me why.. it wasn't her idea). :)))

Do you think she is at risk?

ok i learned about a week ago that not going to mass on sunday is commiting a mortal sin (if you have full knowledge)? well i am wondering if this is acceptable for not being one (the mass i was planning on going to starts at 12):
i woke up at about 10-ish and my mom was leaving for work. so my mom taking me was out of the question. so i called my grandma and was going to go with her but she ended up going to an earlier mass i didnt know she was going to. i cant drive and dont have a car, plus i was in the house all day. is this considered a mortal sin?

ps i am catholic too.

OK.. so whatever happened to Joseph Christ... or Mary Christ? ... or did they just name this child Jesus Christ... or is God's name Christ?.. and where Mary and Joseph married? or do you think Joseph had a different surname?

How did people get a name for themselves 2 000 years ago?
