Religion & Spirituality - 14 December 2007

I don't believe in power of the pope. I think he is the CEO of Roman Catholicism and that's it. I don't think Mary was a virgin and I think Christ's miracles were symbolic more than literal. I do however believe that He is our savior. Which faith do I most identify with in your opinion?

There are many youngsters don't want to answer some of the subjects in the name of religion and ethnic group.

When you are born in this world and if you want to gain wisdom, you should not restrict yourself on any subject.

You should have that clarity in your mind to accept all information. Whether you want to believe it or not, whether you want to agree to it or not, but why know about it.

I feel bad / sad and worried when some of my fans don’t answer questions related to other religions.

Once all the youngsters understand the wisdom of life and common essence of all religions, they will be able to carry forward the future generation to a peaceful world. It is these people who can bring the unity in the world.

It is these youngsters who can eliminate the hatred among people based on religious indifferences.

I am not asking them to follow any other religion. I am not trying to impose my religion on others.

“Thus saith the Lord, “Verily those who are patient in adversity and forgive wrongs, are doers of excellence”

This means that God say that those who are truly patient in hardship and forgive mistakes are people who do good.

“Do you love your creator? Love your fellow-beings first”

This means that if you love god then you must love all other living things first.

“Shall I not inform you of a better act that fasting, alms and prayers? Making peace between on another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.

This means that although praying and fasting are good, peace making and being peace loving are better. Hate and spite destroy any good completely.

How many people here who claim to be Christians and use the Bible for moral guidance have actually READ the Bible from cover to cover?

How do you decide which rules you are going to follow and which ones you are going to break (and you ALL break the rules laid down in the Bible on practically a daily basis without a second thought... trust me... if you disagree with that statement, ask your self again, have you actually READ the whole of the Bible?)

"Zoroastrianism is the oldest of the revealed world-religions, and it has probably had more influence on mankind, directly and indirectly, than any other single faith." - Mary Boyce, Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1979, p. 1)

With the descriptions of heaven and hell, I wouldn't have anything to do with either. As a matter of fact, the description of heaven is worse than that of hell. I would be more than happy to usher "souls" on to their final destination however. It's a unique talent.

Could some one, preferably Pagan, explain to me how it harms anyone for Christians to celebrate the birth of Christ at this time of year?
How does it harm anyone if we wish them "Merry Christmas"??
Christians surely do realize that it is causing us no harm for you to wish us a Blessed Yule...

So, please...what's the big deal, anyhow??

Battle of wits, religious wars. It seems odd to me. That
a group of intelligent individuals, would feel comfortable
in a world, where most people actually believe in some
sort of DIVINE BEING. I guess it must be hard to believe
that with all of these things, like the Bible, churches,
synagogues...... Wow. What in the world happened to us,
that made us such an outcast to society. At least in that
category anyway..... Such a cold, dark, and lonely
life they must have. I feel sorry for em..... Although, I
don't really have to. But they are, who they are. Mislead
and confused minds. Oh, so sad. OK. Now which one
of you Atheist folks, can come up with the best insult
or jesture towards me ? If I like your response the most,
then you win. Today is Friday. Let's have fun.....

every body has commited at least one sin in their life
but like say if a person is gay but is a good person etc
do they have more chance of going to heaven than murderers and such

is sin greater than one another e.g. lying and committing aldultery?

1st Satan came to me and promised me a fortune and immense god-like power. (I laughed at his face, for all he could offer is worthless illusions of make-believe. An empire of dirt; a crown made of plastic; useless puppets as servants; a.k.a. Queen Nothing )
2nd God appeared and thanked me for not falling into temptation and offered me endless gifts. Fortune; fame; children; love; goodness; peace; knowledge; a kingdom. (I laughed at his face, for here I was standing before God and all he could offer me was nothing more; nothing less than what Satan offered. Thus, I thanked him, but told him to keep his make-believe gifts.)
3rd Man appeared and glorified my existence for I had transcended beyond human limits. They offered me an existence of fortune, fame, love, goodness, power...etc..(I laughed so hard; then thanked them, but told them to keep their " precious make-believe junk".)
I came to a conclusion that all life is vain. We're just greedy children playing in mud building hope.

Julia thinks it's clever how Pangel butters the proles up by her sugereyness and pursues her agenda by clever, sneaky, diplomatic tactics. Julia wonders weather Pangel will admit to users of Yahoo that she has a sneaky respect for Julia's way of doing things

Human progress has resulted from differing points of view! If all human civilisation followed one view, nobody would challenge existing opinions about the world, universe etc! Shouldn't we celebrate diversity instead of uniformity?

The Rig Veda from Hinduism says, "Let good ideas flow in from all directions"!

Are murderers, rapists, serial killers, terrorists God's spoiled children?

Their success stories prove the fact that God has spoiled them with his love.

Do you take up a lotus or yogic position?
Do you stand? Do you recline like you would in a psychiatrist's chair?
