Religion & Spirituality - 16 December 2007

Seriously, if you say you will never change your mind in even in the face of obvious logical fallacies and lack of evidence supporting your beliefs: Should you just wear a sign on your chest proclaiming "I am an idiot?"

Christians believe that people are born with free-will. Christians also believe that everyone has been given the same opportunity to accept Jesus and it's totally their own free-will to accept or deny Jesus. But what Christians has forgotten is that they also believe that God is the creator of every human being and thus the creator of every human brain. Now what is it that a human being use to make a "choice"? Is it not the brain? The kind of choices an individual makes is influenced and totally dependant on two factors: The brain + environmental influences. People can't choose the kind of brain they are born with, and to a less extent the environment they are born in.

For example, when you see an ant on the floor, whether you decide to spare it or step on it depends on your brain you're born with and how it's been shaped. All of which was initially chosen for you!

Since God created human brains, we can conclude that God indirectly predestined everyone's choices!

Leave the gays alone and let them live. Same goes for the Muslims and the swingers, the fast living rock stars and dope heads. If someone is not bothering you or your kids personally then keep your advice to yourself.

what is honestly so great about religions? the only thing that they have seemed to manage to do is hav some people kill others because of there views (which is rediculous). Honestly religion is by far the greatest cause of death in history. Why would other people being different from you, because of their beliefs, be reason to kill them and cause so much conflict?
To me religion only has the purpose of giving people answers to the unknown. And much of these answers have been proven false! So honestly why do people still feel so religious?
It dosent make sense to me...
please post your views

If abortion is murder...what is a miscarriage?

God is a murderer?? Or is it like manslaughter on the women's part??

And if abortion is murder, how come most pro lifers are for capital punishment? Does life end after a forcible felony?

By the way...I am neither prolife nor prochoice. I like to sit on the fence.

Explain. And please no scripture. I really don't read it, I just skip over it.

Does anyone know of any churches that do not allow all family members to attend a wedding of a another family because they do not attend the church, do not attend church or other stuff.

If they are any such churches here in the USA, why isn't there more of a public outcry over this disgusting and horrible practice? What should be done to end this ?

I did accept this view as being correct for years but now I see that maybe he is a very wise man and a seeker of varified constantly consistent truth in the light. To me now if appears that he did not want to form doctrines or just accept assumed truths until he could himself npy verify. I see his words as "My Lord, and my Elohim is a possible translation which would agree with Genesis 1:1 and many other passages in the Bible

Please give it some thought and state your view of Thomas.

Thank you.

If "God" already knows everything that is, ever was and/ or ever shall be, then isn't it very arrogant to assume that you somehow know better than "God" what is in the best interest for you or who/ whatever you are praying for?

For Christians, do you consider superstition sinful? I'm looking at passages like Deuteronomy 18:10 and 1 Timothy 4:7 for this one. I would imagine that superstition, per se, implies power attributed to other than God and is therefore a violation of the First Commandment. What do you think?

Since Catholics identify themselves as Christians, shouldn't they support candidates and politicians whose political policies are in-line and conducive to Christian ideals and beleifs?

YET - a great many Catholics - primarily vote for Democrat politicians and candidates - who often endorse policies that are anti-Christian (i.e. - Abortion, pro-homosexual policies, liberal policies that are more permissive to 'alternative lifetyles' by deregulating the media).

Help me to understand why so many Catholics vote for people that don't endore Christian values.
