Religion & Spirituality - 20 December 2007

in the Bible, when Jesus went to the Temple and it had been turned into a market where people used this holy place to make profit? Dont you think the same thing is happening. PEOPLE stop worshipping frikkin Santa Clause and Rudolph and Easter Bunnies for easter! Why use the birth of Jesus and his Resurrection?

Why does God choose people like Paul who were disobeying God while many people seek God and cannot find him?

Will certain people be unable to be saved even if they try hard to seek God? because it sure does seem like it

What the heck? Dianetics ? Ive been watching alot of stuff on youtube about this cult or so called religion(says only the IRS since its become tax free). Its seems wrong and to be completely honest SCARY AS HELL. I cant believe this is tolerated . Black mail , scare tactics, brainwashing, stealing, and in some cases speculation of murder? What the hell. They prey on weak and depressed individuals. Take all there money ,and when they try to leave the so called church they black mail them and strong arm them,and alot of those people end up commiting suicide.I cant believe this money making cult is allowed to do this.. Please everyone take the time to educate your self on this cult. Please someone tell me what the hell is this crap. Does anyone have bad feelings about this cult . They want to so called "clear the world". And If you speak out agaist them they target you and try to destroy you.. Please yall give me your thoughts.

I have read on this board and others that Reform converts are either not Jewish at all or they are. On Mt Sinai they accepted the law that God gave them, not Rabbi court, no dip in the Mikveh, so why can't a non-Jew do that and be accepted rather than the whole process?

This would explain the extraterrestrial abilities of Jesus would it not? And the virgin birth. Aliens might be gods to us.

1 Samuel, chapter 15, verse 3: "Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ***."

God orders the destruction of an entire city, including children and even breastfeeding babies.

Hosea, chapter 13, verse 16 (chapter 14, verse 1 in some translations): "Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open."

Numbers, chapter 31, verses 17-18: "So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man. But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves."

Isiah chapter 13, verse 16: "Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others."

Personnally, I consider myself a sceptical atheist.

An agnostic is a person who cannot decide whether they believe in God or not and has not made decision about their belief.
An atheist is a person who believes there is no God.
A Sceptic is a person who believes that we can never KNOW anything with certainty.

To say I am agnostic because I cannot KNOW there is no God is incorrect. It is like fairies at the bottom of the garden: I cannot PROVE there are no invisible fairies there, but I do not believe in them. This makes me a sceptical (because I admit that I do not KNOW FOR CERTAIN) a-fairyist (person who doesn't believe in fairies.

In this sense I am no more agnostic about my belief in God as I am about my belief in fairies. So I class myself as an atheist. I strongly believe there is no God, but I cannot disprove it. This doesn't make me agnostic, it makes me a sceptic.

Has this cleared aything up, or changed the way anybody thinks about their own beliefs?

The Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger or Tasmanian Wolf) has peaked my interest for quite some time. One of my favorite animals. Allegedly extinct, the Thylacine is a marsupial with a backwards facing pouch (like the Tasmanian Devil), that resembles a wolf, can open its mouth amazingly wide, and has the stripes of a tiger. It is said that the Thylacine is the "perfect example" of convergent evolution. I pose a question as to the origin of this animal if evolution were 100% fact.

I would be highly interested in hearing anything anyone knows about the astral plane. (Would prefer non-sarcastic replys, thanks.) I find it to be a very engaging topic. I am just curious as to what the level of belief in it is among the masses. Does lucid dreaming cause one to enter the astral plane? I've heard a lot of varying opinion here. Thanks in advance!

Please don't give me the answer that compare your biological father and God. Your father is not benevolent, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

Something else , please.
