Religion & Spirituality - 27 December 2007

Indira Gandhi herself and both her sons died of unnatural causes. Father Z A Bhutto, daughter Benazir and her two brothers met similar fate. These are just two known cases. But media reports frequently of fate playing wild in the life of common men too. I do not believe in fate, but I am aghast at these most tragic happenings. While a few terrorists rejoice nations weep.

Jesus was an apprentice carpenter, since he died at 33 he probably was a full carpenter at a relatively young age 15-17(it was necessary since most people married at 15).
Then why aren't there any pieces of furniture attributed to him?
As a god, i would assume his pieces were exceptional, even if he was modest and they weren't out of common, people would assume his followers would collect each and every one of the peaces made by jesus as relics(as was done with the cross).
So, where are they? if they indeed exist.

Jesus died so that EVERYBODY was saved and all that. So why are christians still worried about themselves and others going to hell? Don't we all have a free pass now?
Now, I don't know much about much, but this doesn't make sense to me. Could someone please explain.

From birth, envirement, and overal self, i have always stuck out. Always rebellious and always a leader someone who does not conform. But i am lost in Religion. I was born Roman Catholic, Baptized in a St. whoever church. But i do nto believe in sins. I believe there is a place where people who have done horrible things in life have go and idk if its called hell. I believe that if a woman wants an abortion then GO RIGHT AHEAD. I believe that if two men or two women decide that they love each other enough to tie the knot then they should be able too. We as a country or even one man, our presidant should not be able to decide wether they should or not because he will obviously decide from his religious beleifs. I think sex before marrige is totaly acceptable. I do believe in god.Hes the person who i blame everything for. I have only gone to church because i wanted to sleep over a friends house and i dont go to religion like my friends.And i think there is a heaven. wat religion am i???

Me, I only see science as a reason to reject most claims made by religions, not theism. I am an empiricist. Since there is no evidence for the existence of god, I reject the notion that one exists. No science needed.Evolutionary theory can be proven completely wrong tommorow and that would not prove a god's existence for me.

The English translation of Novus Ordo Seclorum is: "New World of the Ages." That, in turn, begs the question: Why on the USA's one dollar bills?! Seek truth, my brothers and sisters.

... have been absolved, as of this date? While is death gave a 'free pass' to so many - how ist it that you have been resolved and set free? Is it possible that yor presumed faith makes you nonetheless absent this absolution?

It seems that for every verse from the bible that says that those who believe will enter heaven, there's another one that says that one must follow the Word of God and not sin in order to have salvation. It seems the writers of the Bible couldn't make up their minds. Remember that the only person Jesus personally assured would go to heaven was the thief on the cross next to him, who lived a life of sin and converted in the final moments of his life.
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/faithalone.html for a list of some of these verses (and theres a few I've found that page doesn't account for, I actually have read the bible)

As usual, ad hominem attacks will be considered an admission of your own failure.

For those of you who believe in an afterlife, do you believe that animals have an afterlife or a chance at going to heaven? If not, what is their purpose here on earth? What does your authority (bible, etc.) say?

I'm curious. What is the right way according to their faith?

Literally? Figuratively? Turn a blind eye to the bad stuff and pretend it's good?

Because I've met too many people who say the bible is free for interpretation and only use the good stuff literally, but completely ignore the nasty stuff.

Tell me, what does the church say, and what do you as christians say?
