I cannot give any sort of reply based on logic or facts because I have never studied this issue, but I beleive that Satan created hell when he turned away from God as a domain for him and his followers. He didn't fall alone after all, and though there is no population cound of heaven, 1/3rd of...
Yea I know hehe. There are many religions that fit under it. I guess you could say the types of pagan that people typically think of. If that helps at all.
Could you explain a little bit more about this "Book of Shadows"? I have read about it before, but have only found vague information on it...
Hello all!
I am undertaking a study of pagan/neopagan religions and I would like to know what some of your "holy texts" would be and how I could get them. Please post the name of the religion and the name of the text and any info or comment you wish.
Thank ya!
I dont think it'll hurt for me to post here, since I once was an athiest.
I started out calling myself a christian because of family tradition. About the time I was 14 I started having serious doubts about the whole faith. Classic athiest questions such as "Why does God let bad things happen...
I am not flaming the christian viewpoint. I am challenging it.
And really I am not challenging the christian viewpoint, I am challenging the young earth viewpoint.
Your are right, somewhat. I should have worded it as YECers must ignore macro-evolution. I read the articles and both said exactly...
For those of you who are not christian, no flaming the christian viewpoint. This is certainly a challenge, but it is not disrespectful.
Young earth creation.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone but its something I really dont understand.
If you believe in young earth creationism (that is the...
I dont have time to read through 11 pages so here is my reply to this.
Energy=Mass x the speed of light, squared
Energy = Mass
If mass has a creator energy must therefore also have a creator since they are equal entities. God is most certainly not energy because for him to be energy he must also...
Just curious why do you think you know longer believe? If you said you want to believe in it then why not? I was in the same predicament not too long ago. I will talk if you want, just pm me.
I think the movie "What Dreams May Come" has an interesting view on it.
-"Heaven is big enough for everyone to have their own universe with their own rules"
The golden streets thing would get old with me. And I'm not down with seeing all my loved ones over and over in eternal celebration either...
That was a brainful. I am still sorting through it trying to figure out what he was talking about. But I do get the first line. How it takes a radical revolution of the mind to be religious.
Interesting read but for the most part an ill-thought attack on atheism.
I would definately not go so far as to say that atheism is unpopular with the stupidest people. Some of the gretest and most intelligent people I have ever met were religious.
October 9th 2005
The only reason I remember the exact date is because I found a file dated from the day after on my computer. I had defended the christian faith up until that point simply because that's how I was raised and I didn't know what else to do. I was truly agnostic though. After a talk...
Well I dont know about you but My God says, You will have no other Gods or idols before me. So I really dont feel like praying to another God that he didn't tell us to. Plus Mary is not a deity. She was just chosen to bear Jesus.
