All questions are beautiful
by ashitaka in(i brought this over from rex's thread).
does god exist-i always think of khalil gibran's couplet from the prophet; "do not say god is in my heart, but i am in the heart of god.
" i beleive that people use god to keep themselves in check, and they make the bible their moral register.

Do I believe in a physical God, who cares for us? Sometimes. Do I think that if He is there watching us, that he is angry at our derision or apathy of Him or his purposes? No. How can an all knowing God not know the difficulties we face? If He is there, he sees them.
He wants good people on the earth, just like we want good neighbors to live next to us.
If there is no God, then believing in Him is a delusion...so what? Some delusions are beautiful, and can enrich our lives. Most of us don't truly believe in magical creatures, but when we read fiction with those creatures in it, isn't there an element to our lives opened up to us that we may not have seen before?
On both sides of the coin there are advantages and disadvantages. some atheists may quarrel over the true meaning of morals and existentialism. Some God fearing men may quiver unnaturally at the prophecies in the bible, not looking for the meaning behind the words-which in many cases is love.
Many athiests can be free, and let their lives be full of opportunity because they are not chained to superstition. Many God fearing men change bad habits and move their hearts to love like they never had before, because of their beliefs.
There are no clear-cut answers...there never will be. There will never be a world-wide epiphany, where we all see a sign and believe....or disbelieve. That is why God, Atheism, and Agnostisism are all beautiful-the ideas are inherently human, and any human can make beautiful things.

If you aren't Lutheran, you won't get to heaven
by Judith injust had a conversation with a friend who is going to pre-marriage classes at her soon to be husband's lutheran church.
she (a methodist) says that she is causing quite an uproar because she keeps asking questions and the minister told her off at her last class.
she questioned his statement that a person cannot understand the bible properly unless they are lutheran.

Free Tibet & Peace In The Middle East
by Celtic inwhat is it about peace that it is such a difficult thing for man to understand?
by your definition, what exactly is peace?
and how might we go about teaching peace, throughout our lives?.

Mark,
Tibet won't be freed, but I pray someday the Chinese come to their senses and give the Dhali Lhama his country back. Ever see Kundun?
As for Peace in the ME-don't count on it, unless there's a genocide on either end of the stick.....religion makes people do wacky things....and terrible things. Sometimes I thank my lucky stars I was JW, and not a religious person in the ME....don't want to be blown up on a bus.
