Religion & Spirituality - 15 December 2007

Sometimes I get bored, and I need a change every now and then. But I have "herd mentality" and I don't want to be the only one switching to Ba'hai. I figure, there must be a club, where you pay your dues(tithes) and they just change you over automatically. So, maybe one month, I can see the cool stained glass windows in a Catholic Church, and the next month I could be a Tibetan Monk or something. So, do you know of a Religion of the Month Club?

The questions:
1. Why won't God heal amputees?
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world?
3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible? Eg.: Deuteronomy 21:18-21 –God demands that we kill disobedient teenagers. Deuteronomy 22:13-21 –God demands that we kill girls who are not virgins when they marry.
4. Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense?
5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the Bible? E.g.: Exodus 21:20-21 – God says that it is OK to own slaves, and it is also OK to beat them.
6. Why do bad things happen to good people?
7. Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence?
8: How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you?
9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? It sounds totally grotesque, doesn't it?
10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians?

I'm Pagan, I've had my clothes set on fire, my house egged, people write me nasty letters, people on here call me a hippy weirdo (I don't do any form of drug, I love country music and I'm happily married to one man so the Love Drugs and Rock N' Roll theory doesn't work)

If you religious/faith was to become outlawed to the point that practicing it would call for the death penalty would you die for it? Why?

If the above were to happen would you just give up on it and convert or become an atheist?

I would die for mine. It's to important to me, and has helped me through to much.

And if it were to become outlawed I would not convert.

(If you don't believe that souls can be damned to some sort of hell, you need not answer this question, in fact, you can't.)

I'm asking you to think for a moment or two before you answer this question, really try to get in touch with what you FEEL deep down in your guts. Also, I'm asking you to be honest, and say what you feel instead of saying what you might have been taught you SHOULD say.

What's makes you feel worse:
A. A teenager is shot and killed by a total stranger who went postal.
B. An old man dies of natural causes, never having known The Lord; his soul is damned.

Assume, for the purposes of this question that you have no idea what the fate of the teen's soul will be.

If you could, explain each of the 3 aspects of the trinity individually and then explain how they relate to one another. Being honest---I really don't get the Holy Spirit part.

If attachment is what creates suffering - what would Buddhism advise on how to create a close relationship with someone?

Does the concept of detachment include relationships?
Are relationships *transient*?
Isn't true love non-transient.
