Religion & Spirituality - 6 December 2007

I rode by a church and there was a sign advertising a breakfast with Santa this weekend. I found it quite interesting.

I often feel guilt/regret about things that arent even bad. Someone once told me that people with a catholic upbringing often report this. I am not religious anymore, but i wonder if this is true.

Proving anything to 100% certainty is nearly impossible. With this in mind, if atheists can't except the historical evidence of Jesus the Christ, Then who can prove George Washington was not a mythical figure, with historical documents forged and invented, in a conspiracy to help a new country?

I am Asian, living in Singapore, an island modern city-state with many first class facilities.

As a christian, I face many persecutions in an Asian culture.

Our fellow Asian people tell us that following Christianity is like being "americanised" or "westernised", when Jesus was a middle eastern

Our Asian religions more often than not tells us that there are more than one God.

Our fellow Asian people sees Hollywood, and deem it as "Christianity" just because people in it says "Oh JESUS CHRIST!", therefore concluding that Christianity is nothing but fashion and hype.

In an Asian culture where parents are supposed to be NUMBER ONE (i love my mom alot), when we say God is Number One, we face many insults.

But interestingly, in places where Christians are persecuted, the number of Christians are increasing tremendously. (China, South Korea(developed country), Singapore, Northern Thailand)

are you persecuted and how?

I'm trying to find some books in the vain of "The God Delusion", "How we believe" by Michael Shermer. I'm really trying to show the faults in Christian logic or lack of logic. Any help?

El - the father of the gods,
Baal - Lord of the Sun and Male Fertility,
Anath - Goddess of Love and War,
Asherah - Goddess of Fertility (whore houses too)
Dagon, God of Vegetation
all got ousted by Yahweh.

So, what was Yahweh's "specialty" was he the "Trickster"?

Hello, all:

Fellow Pagans, when Christians say that we worship the creation and not the Creator, do you think this is accurate? If so, why? If not, why not?

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond.

I am curious what religion uses what symbols - if there is any consistency. So if you could also put your religion, I would appreciate it.

This is me:

I completely believe there is no God. I completely believe there is no Pink-Clothed Rodent that watched my every move from the moon. For both of these issues I cannot completely affirm they are false. I cannot say they are wrong because they have no evidence against/for them. (Of course we have evidence against fundamnetal religion {Christianity, Muslim}, but I mean to talk about the idea of a creator who ran away/ignores us.) I am able to believe that the rodent and a creator dont exist. I can't prove that to anyone, but you scare me if you believe it.

What am I? (technically speaking, dont say "I think", you need to know.)

Jesus was raised from the dead... sounds like necromancy to me.

Ok here's might situation:
I'm a teenager now and I was molested repetively as a child. Because of this I am bisexual (I don't think being molested is gay, but it changed me, I'm not proud of it).
So recently I found an article on the internet that goes:
"The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.
God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice.

Matthew 16: 13-18

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."

who do you say He is?

i do believe in god, or i do want to believe his existence,but some time i cant help myself getting confuse, and some what a little doubt. my life has been up and down for the last several years now, but now im considered hitting to the lowest point of my life,ive been trying to correct my mistakes that ive made in the past using all my power of will and strength to fight back, knowing that the earth we living in belong to the devils and they wont ever stop working on you to corrupt your soul and body.. that would lead you to other bad choices..but i feel like im getting weaken and losing the battle against the devils. I ve been calling on his name to come into my life to help me and to provide strengths and faith to fight on this battle, but so far the situation just keep getting worse and worse..as he is our father why is he letting this happen, and y hes not helping..or is it possible that hes outcasting me bcuz of things ive done??(though,ive never kill or rape anybody) !

I am part of a Christian Hospital system and would like to give each of our patients a Bible in their own language that they can read on their own as part of their whole person care. Thanks!

Can someone who doesn't have the five senses know God just as well as someone with any or all of the five senses? If so, how so. If not, why not?
