Is the freedom from religion movement just another religion?
I asked a few individuals that are involved in this new thing and I found that it's not new at all. Also I found that you can not believe in creation and be a part of the freedom from religion movement. This then sounded to me like a religion, you know, rules that determine if you can or can not be a part of a particular group because of your beliefs. It's interesting how a movement starts and becomes what it tries not to become. Is this irony? Or something else.
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoAre the Scriptures (Bible) relevant in these times?
One can say ‘These days we have come so far in science medicine technology and time that a book like the Bible has no real place in our world.’
The Scriptures (Bible) addresses the nature of man, his condition, position in life and this world. Now unless time, technology, science, and medicine can change fix or stop the nature of man which is; hatred, greed anger, lust, jealousy, betrayal, tyranny and war, without ending man himself, then it doesn’t matter if we get to the point of “Beam me up Scotty” in our technology our condition will remain one of suffering anguish and discontent. Nowhere in the Scriptures does it address the technological advancements of man but only the need for change of heart. On the same token (the other side of the same coin) if we (man) are creating technology to be bring perfection or to be more perfect than us we our deceived while deceiving ourselves. Can perfection come from imperfection, will an apple tree give oranges or will you draw a glass of fresh water from the ocean? We can already know this as the more “advanced” we become in science and technology the more violent war machines and violence we see.
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy do so many people think that they/we are so evolved beyond what we really are?
Is it just because the date reads 2013? Or is it because of science and technological advances? If it is any of these things, what do they have to do with the basic nature of man/humans? What does the date, science, and tech have to do with can do about; hatred, anger, jealousy, violence, deceitfulness, envy?

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy should gays be allowed marriage?
Seeing that homosexuality is for all intense and purposes based on sex alone, not on propagation of the human species, therefore no need to call it a marriage.
18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoBrothers & Sisters in the faith of our lord Christ Emanuel?
At times I have given testimony to those whom the the lord wills to, through me, as you have. You as I, being in the faith, knowing that we know nothing and that all wisdom and knowledge of truth comes from our lord, and that, interpretation does not belong to one man for all knowledge and wisdom comes not from us. I would ask only that we not harden our hearts & consider one another. For the lord gives to each man what he wills according to that man, as the lord knows him to be. When one says the lord is the : Mind, Heart, Soul, and /or spirit we must consider the limits of our own understanding and not act as though one of these descriptions or all may be incorrect. For we know that the mind is not the fleshly brain, and the Heart spoken in the scriptures also is not the fleshly organ within the chest. Please let us consider one and another in that we may not fully comprehend the words literal meaning, Just as long as we know the message is not changed from our brethrens usage. I pray in my heart that this reaches you all well be it according to his will . God Bless
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat was my crime ? I believe that I don't have all the answers . Please Help .?
Driving in my car visiting my mother in Milwaukee wi. Officer pulls me over: He asks for my license & registration, as I give it and respond I'm sorry officer what seems to be the problem. " No problem this is just a F*%#ing traffic stop ! I think to myself "OH sh*%". Then the officer looks at my license and says to me "Oh your from Michigan" and while standing at my window he turns his head to the rear of my car ( as to imply by his actions, he is now looking at my tags/plates. It was at that time I realized that he did/was not looking at or reading my plates before stopping me. I received no ticket, but i did receive a " have a nice day sir" from the officer. How am I to do this now that I'm aware of his like.
Recently on a trip back to see my mom I was arrested for driving on a suspended license that was actually expired. I chose not to renew just yet. My car was searched, towed and I Found myself in jail for the first time @ the age of 37 for two days in a place known as the tank. My video pretrial to my trial together took all of 1 hour. The magistrate asked if i went to school i replied yes . He then said I'm going to enter a plea of not guilty for you, then he turned to some one I couldn't see and said I need the prosecutor to prosecute this today , can or is he gone . the feminine voice said oh yes we can prosecute this today , the magistrate said good turn to me and said your going to court today.Cuffed in court sitting in a place between two orange siuts a place i know i didn't belong, or did I? while people in court were looking on, wow, I was a criminal to them. anyway, By this time I was worried that i might be doing jail time, because of the officer who told me to be silent(putting his finger on his lips, pointing at the camera outside of the pretrial room, sugesting vigorously with his finger that i should get out of line and follow him to a corner out of the cameras view while his partner was, i suppose a kind of lookout). Then he said in a low voice even hunched over " are you aware of whats going on around you, you should be paying attention to everything that's going on around you. Because there are some strange things going on around you" . While in court the judge called and asked a young man why was he there again for smoking weed. the guy said i don't know, I havent used it sinced before the last time I was here" to which the judge replied to the bailiff retrieve the sample, to which the bailiff replied to my total disbelief "I don't have it " the judge said where is it the bailf said I "I Threw it away" Oh My God I knew I was in trouble. When i was called he asked the bailiff after asking me where i was from why did it say on the paper in front of him that i was from Canada. Ultimately i was released with no bail and no charges. The lord truly was with me that day. So here's your example to my previous questions.
