At what point does a cult become a religion?
I'm just looking for a concensus of opinions. No need for lengthy answers here, send answer in number of members please.
An Easy 2Points!
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoReligion...Opinions Sought. What do you "THINK" not believe?
The worlds major religions all propose some form of immortality or a far better life/after-life than what can be achieved in the normal course of human existence. Is it possible that religion is just a natural expression of man kinds fear of death.
Please before you quote me chapter and verse think it through...you must die before you can receive your reward.
What if it's ALL B/S???
What if this is as good as it gets???
I'm really not a pessimist but if we accepted this as truth maybe people would develop a greater humanity and civility to make the most out of our one and only turn to "get it right".
Remember these are questions not accusations, I'm asking for answers not sermons so please "think before you speak".
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoFOOD FOR THOUGHT!!?
God takes mortal form(Jesus).
Jesus allows him self to be killed(Suicide).
Suicide is an unpardonable sin(Bible).
The Bible is God's law for man. God became a man to save us and as a man is there fore bound by God's law. As a man God broke his own law and can't enter heaven.
So all you "God Fearing Christians" should ask your selves...
Do I really want to go when the "God" I love can't possibly be running the show???
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDRIVING THE LAND OF DEATH!!!SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!!WHY DO WE TOLERATE CROSSES LITTERING OUR ROADS?
I,m all for religious freedom but death is a private matter. If people feel the need for public shrines why don,t they put them on their own front lawns. Before you come unglued on me ask yourself: What if it were a STAR of DAVID, MUSLIM CRESCENT & STAR, or even a SATANIC PENTAGRAM??? In my opinion as an extensive National Traveler(U.S.)
these eye-sores are ruining our Scenic American Roadways and are far to numerous to be sacred or meaning full to anyone but the family and friends of the deceased. It is extremely self serving to ruin "OUR LANDSCAPES" for the sake of Your Selfish Grief!!! I am deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one/s but Please...GO CLEAN IT UP FOR ALL OUR BENEFIT!!! Perhaps this one simple act will allow you the closure you need to move forward with your own life. May you have GOD'S Blessing & Peace, I wish you well....................SEEKER.
