Can we start a new religion?

Here goes ... please add:

1. God agrees to leave us alone (free-will) unless we REALLY need his help (like we're destroying the planet with carbon emissions or something). In return, man agrees not to purposely screw things up.

2. Our God is not jealous and therefore doesn't not require his sheep to bleat in supplication.

3. God allows us to find our own answers to questions about his nature and the nature of the universe, wherever those answers might lead us.

main idea of hinduism is to acheive self awareness so im told

i read some answers and by the answerer it looks as he/she has gained Truth
example of one the answers: i am HE and HE is I and HE is everywhere and so am I

this sentence pretty much seems to me that the person has gained spiritual knowledge

i read the answer but i do not get it

i cannot feel it

it seems almost impossible to reach that goal ever to me

how do some of you feel about this?

do you feel the same way?


sorry for spelling errors btw

Is the movie Zeitgeist (www.zeitgeistmovie.com) correct? Is there any citing of it's sources? It seems to all be true, but the 9/11 theories are a bit sketchy.

It seems this poor boy couldnt go on their mission trip to Bosnia. He ended up going postal on the Youth mission church that told him he couldnt go because he heard "voices". When you mix religion with young people bad things can happen, and when you mix religion with psyco young people terrible things can happen. Do you think we should wait to impose religion on people until they are old enough to make up their mind?

Since converting to Christianity, I have had an overwhelming desire to listen to "Atomic Dog" by Parliament. When I go to the grocery store, I have to plug in the Brides of Funkenstein on my CD player, and on the way to church this Sunday, I couldn't resist a little "Brick House" by the Commodores. All the time now, I gotsta gotsta gotsta get my groove on. So what I want to know is, am I a "Funkamentalist"?

I want to go to church to praise God. However, I don't believe Jesus was his son and our savior. I am not so quick to believe the stories about Adam and Eve...Parting the Red Sea, and so forth. I think the Bible is a wonderful book that teaches a person how to live their lives with dignity and with God. I want to start going to church. I don't belong in a Christian church because most of them feel that I am going to Hell for my beliefs about Jesus. I have already started reading the Bible again, so please don't answer with that suggestion. What can I do? Where can I go where I will be accepted and not overwhelmed with people trying to change how I believe about Jesus? Thanks for your help.

Athiests: don't bother telling me that God doesn't exists. It waists your and my time because there is no convincing me.

i recently heard the argument "hoe can somehting come from nothing", in an argument against athiesm. bu there are alot of scientific theories on how the universe began, and their all alot more plausable than some guy snapped his fingers and now we all have to worship him, and we're born origional with sin and if we dont repent we're all going to hell, but he loves us and he needs money. the only real pro-god argument is that it cannot be proven that he dose not exist, but why dosn't someone prove he dose?

I do because the Bible says that women aren't to wear men's clothing and I know that battle armor and camoflauge are men's clothing!! Plus, women can get pregnant and a battlefield is no place for a pregnant woman.

We can't predict anything because all our reasoning about the external world is based on experience.

We think the sun will rise tomorrow because it always has.
Well, we say we know it.
That's inductive reasoning, to test something and if it happens enough times we assume it always shall. That's the basis of all our science.

But Hume said we can't know anything like this for the following reason.

If we believe that the sun will rise again tomorrow, we believe it based on the argument that "it always has".
"It always has" is based on the supposition that nature is uniform.

So where is the proof for nature being uniform?
The only valid argument for that is "it always has".

So the theory attempts to prove itself, thus making itself cyclic and therefore obsolete.

You know, it limits advancement. Religion is like a set of principles that is forced upon a child early in its life before most other information begins to be absorbed. As new information comes in to the child’s mind, the child compares it to the religious principles and decides whether or not to accept it as fact based on whether or not it fits in with their religious based principles that are already firmly, unshakably placed in their minds. This explains why some religious people have so much trouble accepting the theory of evolution doesn’t it?

And yeah, I know Catholic schools generally have a higher academic achievement levels than other schools but there are many other factors involved there.

I saw today a question from a believer claiming that he doesn't believe that atheists exist.

He believes in "god" and he is not able to admit that there may be people who don't believe in any deity.

If a person believes in a deity, does this block his/her ability to imagine how it feels to not believe in "god"?

Does it also cancel the times while the believer was doubting about his/her faith?

Why does it seem so hard for a believer to comprehend that there are people who don't believe in "god" (or in any deity)?

I think that believers can easily understand agnostics but not atheists.

It is like someone who love eating strawberries could not understand that there may be people who consider that strawberries are tasteless (I don't say disgusting).

As an atheist, I think I understand the faith of many believers. I don't understand why many believers can't understand the disbelief of atheists.

Thanks for your answers :-)

religious people ask you a lot of questions and try to guide you to religion and stuff like that ... ?

if you think that your belifes are good...considering this fact that a good person tries to help others in order to not belive in false ideas to advance in life

what would you pledge religious people if they become atheists what would you promise them !?

Any one else notice how amazingly funny Creationist websites are? I would like to compile a list of the excessively odd ones. The ones I like best have a horrible layout and super tiny super fuzy pictures. I have a couple here could you please give me more links if you have them. The wilder the lies the better.

http://www.bible.ca/tracks/tracks.htm

http://www.s8int.com/dino1.html

Those tracks are mentioned in both sites one saying they are genuine and the other saying that some one carved them during the depression to earn money both sites are creationist and Highly amusing. Thanks.

Think about it. In order for the son of God to be born, he would have to find an ideal candidate to bear his child. When God found Mary, he realized that even though she was good, she was still of sin like all humanity. Since God didn't want his child to be born from a stained woman, he purified her the moment that Jesus entered her womb. Is that why Catholics believe Mary is holy?
