Religion & Spirituality - 8 December 2007

Tough topic. But to many, it is very real. I read a book
about a woman, in a church, who went through the
same thing, with false prophets. And they tried to
bring her down, with sickness and disease. Is it
true when they say, it can't hurt you, if you do not
believe ? Some say yes, some say no. I wonder if
there are some on this panel, who are a Wiccan, or
Wizard. Explain what is it that you do. And this question
is for everyone. Whether you have experienced this or
not. There are those who think that this force, can even
affect entire communities, and neighborhoods. Is this
true ? What do you think world ? Do you believe in
witchcraft ? Can it really mess with your mind ?
Answer here.

Would you give up your house, your children or you way of life? Would you really give your life or the lives of your children?
Where does the line stop with both what you would give up for your God and your country?

If as a society we convict people of crime, if we have a preponderance of evidence, why do atheists reject Christ when there is more then a preponderance of evidence showing he is the Lord sent to give us redemption and salvation? Not only rejection but ridicule those who do believe and know the truth?

Since Romney has a "temple recommend" and is sworn to sustain and obey the church president, etc., Hinckley, who is the only one on Earth who has the direct line to God, imparts Gods current "message" and Romney must comply. So Hinckley would really be running the country? Does anyone know what Hinckley says about past prophets predicting the fall of the U.S.?

Why would God create something so great and then when dies and goes to Heaven, just take it all away along with all of Man's sexual desires and just tell man that he has to serve Him OR ELSE? And what about those who never had a chance to have sex but always wanted to?

Does any of that sound fair to you?
I sure don't think any of it sounds fair..



(That YouTube user "JonathanClement140" was right. Christians who say that there's no sex in Heaven just pis#es people off. Why have "mansions", "streets of gold", and "treasure" in Heaven but no foreplay or sex? That wouldn't be fair.)

"The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."

Treaty of Tripoli, signed by President John Adams (1796)

I'm not even American but I like that. World needs people like founding fathers of America who introduced Freedom to the nation.

I have been following a local lawsuit regarding a Bible class being taught in a public school.
http://www.aclu.org/religion/schools/29738prs20070516.html
Anyway I often thought a theology class would not be so bad because I believe if more people understand various religions then maybe they would not be bickering so much and learn some mutual respect.
There is a quote in the linked article that kinda sums my thoughts up on this:
"It's important for students to be educated about religion and the role that people of faith have played in our history, but the Bible course being taught in Odessa gets a grade of F for failing to comply with the Constitution. The course is not designed to teach about religion — it's designed to promote religion, and a very particular religious viewpoint at that."
What are your thoughts?

How can these "men" call themselves Muslims when they go against what the Quran states? From this, what do you think of what the religion says compared to what the actions are?

"In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to God is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct.

The Qur'an, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression, 'believing men and women' to emphasize the equality of men and women in regard to their respective duties, rights, virtues and merits. It says:

For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God's praise,

There are only three outcomes:

1. They do go to hell, making God a vicious monster.
2. They go to heaven, disproving "None shall come to the Father but through me."
3. They're in some third postmortem that the Bible fails to mention utterly.

Which is it?

All religions, especially 3 Divine Religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are conteding against each other leaving the field wide open for rejectionists of faith.

The differences between them is marginal. There are more commonalities than differences . Every religion focusses on
morality, good neighbourly behaviour, rights of parents etc.
Every religion prescribes some sort of punishment to those who indulge in adultery or fraud.

Last night I watched a mobile ad. showing young boys and girls dancing intimately. This is illegal in all the three religions. Why good men among all the three religions do not discuss the problems 21st century has posed to the religions?. Lack of shame, carelessnes re children and parents etc are major problems for all believers.A concerted attack is being led by non believers that has torn the social fabric apart.


Can't we agree on a minimum code of conduct , so that we could stop satan from taking its toll from us ?
