Religion & Spirituality - 13 December 2007

Also, with which (if any) religion do you identify, and how (if at all) does this influence your views on gender roles?

I think I asked this on my old account (RIP) but I don't remember.

evolution is a fact.....you will figure this out too if you study it.

I find it disturbing that religious nutters in America want to limit teaching what is pretty much the foundation of modern science

I just want to know how to best wish my Pagan friends a Blessed Yule. I think it's the general season, but are there any specific days I can give them greetings? Maybe the Solstice? As you can see, I am absolutely ignorant on the subject. Thanks!

Mine was a kids colored sand play set. You put colored sand into these clear plastic animal forms and plug up the whole. It was from my mom's friend, to me, which was very kind. I just happened to have been 25 or so at the time.

You?

This is specifically for christians who have women preacher/ministers/etc.

The Bible says:

let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.

And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.

1 Corinthians 15:34-35.

How do you feel about that?

It is a FACT... that spaghetti was invented in the 12th century. It is a FACT that humans have been on the planet since... i dunno.. at least the 9th Century. Where is the logical explanation of how the FSM made us before we made him? HMMMM?!?

My daughter (8) and my son (5) both told me that they believe they heard the voice of God calling their names -two separate occasions both by themselves - I dont believe that they are making this story up b/c it happened over a month ago and they just told me for the first time, in a kind of matter of fact way - neither were scared but didnt know what to make of it and both said it wasnt someone calling them for upstairs b/c they said the voice came from right next to their face
any thoughts??

How can we make people understand that "less is more"?

I don't think anybody actually reads posts that require scrolling to be read....

lighten up a bit?! I have just read yet ANOTHER detailed post about how awful a Christian woman was to wish a non Christian 'Merry Christmas'.

This is all getting absurd! I'm Jewish and am very happy to be wished 'Merry Xmas' - I mean, it's a nice thing to say to someone and it is not offensive! So to all you non Christians out there: remember, if 'Merry Christmas' is the worst thing anyone says to us, we'll be blinking lucky!!!

Shalom to all, Merry Xmas, and Happy Chanukah :)

i've been having this werid feeling that Christmas was going to be something special this year and started praying about it. i recently found out that i am going to a Seventh Day SLumber concert (my dad is a pastor and received a poster about it) so i llistened to them and fell completely in love with them, when my dad announced the concert to the church he explained that it was aimed toward the youth and that their would be a speaker there that night too. the concert is next friday, Dec. 21, do you think its an answered prayer?

i lot of my friends aren;t exactly Christians and living for GOd, i've tried to get some to come, but im not sure if they will. (*i believe in salvation; baptist)

Asking in here because I won't get enough answers in science

Ok I'm not questioning if its real or not.. That debate is old and dead
My question is it could not have been one cell that made everything could it have been?

My Thinking is this. Back when ever it happened the protiens lined up and became life there had to be a LOT of them I mean A LOT right?
Some got coded to be eaters and others got coded to be eaten. Then those that got coded to be eaters moved on and became the animals and what not. Those that got coded to be eaten became plants.

I know eaters can be eaten and Eaten can be eaters but do you see my line of thinking?

So do we have any theoretical ideas on this or am I just out on a limb?

Serious answers only please

does anyone know of any sites that tell any true stories about discrimination/intolerance of the catholic religion?

Yes, you can heres a little proof.

-Atheist- Try to prove me wrong.

If it’s true there a beginning to the universe, as modern Cosmologists now agree, Then this implies a cause that Transcends the universe.

If the laws of physics are fine-tuned to permit life, as contemporary physicists are discovering, then perhaps there’s a designer who fine-tuned them.


If there’s Information in cell, as molecular biology show, Then this suggest intelligent design .

to get life going in the first place would have required biological information; the implications point beyond the material realm to a prior intelligent cause.

To all religious denominations (particularly Christians): Do you think it is possible to have a personal relationship with God, yet denounce organized religion?

For example, do you think it is possible to pray regularly, read the Bible and embrace a personal relationship with the Lord, but not go to Church on a regular basis, disagree with some pastor's or reverand's teachings, and/or not be part of a particular religious denomination?

or any other "prewritten" greeting? (happy holidays, joyous yule, happy Hanukkah, etc etc...)

Because in all actuality, I mean..."Hi, it's cold, the holidays are coming, and I don't know you well enough (or care enough) to actually strike up a conversation with you, maybe I'm too busy, maybe not, but I want you to agree that I'm sociable and polite"

At the new school my mother teaches at they are no longer allowed to have Christmas parties. If they have a party around this time of year they now have to call it a Holiday party. My mom says she's just not going to throw a party this year because she refuses to do that and I totaly agree with her. Am I the only one that thinks that this is gettting a tad bit rediculious?
