    Why believe The Bible?

    Better he be tarred with the irrationality of Obama devotees? No matter, it's probably best we leave politics out of it. I used it as an example for the sheer point of expressing that, politicians are politicians and human beings believe what they believe because they want to believe it...

    Why believe The Bible?

    Yes, but by itself, it's not the "Christian" bible. :)

    Why believe The Bible?

    For the same reason people believe Obama is going to bring "Change." They want to believe it. Is there really any other reason for believing anything?

    Redefining religion for our modern world: Can we find a balance

    That's it! What strikes me most about it is this group of people (supposedly) have held their beliefs since the "beginning," meaning the story of Adam.

    Most prophecies heralded as genuine tend to have some sort of social context attached to them -- such as what cultures will do given certain circumstances. I don't think there's anything mystical or magical about having intelligent foresight. Most of those "ancient" things were all written...

    Christians, Do you believe that God will send me to Hell for not believing?

    God isn't some mystical and magical being up in the clouds somewhere with an address called "heaven," no more than "hell" is a place to go. God is love, and heaven is living in a state of loving. Hell is when we're separated from God via "sin" (aka not doing things out of a spirit of love)...

    Redefining religion for our modern world: Can we find a balance

    It seems to me that a religion only serves to perpetuate itself, and that "God" (or whatever people want to call it) exists regardless. I think what's quietly happening through globalization is an awakening to this insight -- that our source and ultimate destination is the same, and religion is...
