Religion & Spirituality - 17 December 2007

Timothy Leary gave LSD to 69 men of the cloth and 75% of them said it was the greatest religious experience they ever had. i do not believe in god evan though i saw him once in the 70's when i ate some hashish and angle dust laced brownies,so can drugs bring you closer to him

that Greek TR has errors, but the KJV doesn't? Is this not the ultimate example of "translation worship"? (Reject the original in favour of the translation)

do you really think it is a good thing that a person must use an Early Modern English dictionary just to understand the Bible in casual reading?

If the English of the KJV is inspired of God, there would be no alternates!

I mean just think about it;why do you watch horror movies? It's to be scared, right? What sane person wants to be frightened? It's not a healthy emotion. Fear causes a spontaneous accelerated heart rate, nervous system malfunction, acute or chronic high blood pressure and just simply unwarranted self-induced stress. Most horror movies are based on malovent or evil spirts. Isn't that what the Bible teaches Satan and his demons are? Horror movies are designed to induce fear of these evil spirts. Isn't that what Satan wants? Satan loves to be feared. Satan loves it so much that he feeds off it. I tried the Ouija Board awhile back. I believe it works but it never worked for me. I believe that it didn't work for me mainly because I don't fear evil spirits or the threat of harm or death they supposedly deliver. In other words I was "no fun" to bother. I truly have a lack of fear concerning spirits and death because of the truths I know about it. The devil uses fear to interact with humans.

Should those countries adhere to this tendency? What are some advantages if (historically) non-Muslim Western countries take on this unusual attire code?

Sereously, this is more of a point fingers and mock and stereo-type than it is as asking and getting a respectable answer. Should we honestly expect to find half this "name-calling" and "childish mockery" in a place of religious discussion?

To me, it's a place of indescribable beauty. Filled with blooming flowers, lush green grass, and people who I love surrounding me. We'd be happy forever.

I'm not sure if that is a description fit for the Christian Heaven...

I think we can understand each other better if we know this.... mine is anything that does harm... to others or to yourself.
The price of sin is nothing. I don't believe in Karma or in an supernatural sin tallyer. I don't think people should sin, but I don't think there's a price paid for it. (Outside of a country's laws for certain "sins")

My mother had finally opened up to me as to why she despised religion. She told me that from the time she could remember, she was dragged to church everyday. If she, or my uncles or aunts made a fuss about it, they would be beaten.

She was taken by her aunt, who was a seamstress. My mother confessed that the reason they went, was so that her aunt could see what the other women were wearing, and ridicule them. As well as possibly get in an idea or 2 for a new article of clothing. My mother had a hard time telling me about it.

Was this a common thing for some people in the 60's and 70's? Or anything similar even today?

This question was sparked by a previous one about cliques in churches.

Recently in Ireland, priests have apologised for the use of 'limbo' in their preachings. Many parents spent their lives believing that un-born or still born children were sent to the edge of hell, a place called limbo. They were never to see the face of God because they had not been baptized and therefore could not enter heaven.
Many women went to their graves in abject dispair because of this.
My question is, does this cruel and terrorizing place still exist as a workable belief within the official Roman Catholic/Christian doctrine?
