How do you keep the faith?

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 11 Nov 09

This isn't a religion-specific question because I myself do not conform to organised religion (I like to keep the ideas open), but more of a spiritual one. How do you "top up" your faith and keep it strong? I try really hard to...

Which should prevail in Justice? Moral or Legal obligations?

sunlight2009 @sunlight2009 (196) • United States 12 Nov 09

I know of a young man who was assaulted indecently by a pastor. The young man sought counselling which he paid for himself. When he contacted the pastor's bosses, they said they wanted to help, but refused to pay anything towards...

mrjburt164 His church's superiors should at least have approached the pastor about this conduct,but without any evidence other than his word, I see nothing else the law, or the church could or should do. It's a sorry state of affairs that we have people in positions...

mrjburt164 I'l bet you can make some time for a short walk or bike ride. Life's too short to just work it away, although most of life is work for most people.

mrjburt164 Smokers & old white men are about the only two minority groups it's politicly correct to hate these days. Most of you aren't so much against smoking as you need somebody it's acceptable to look down upon. If I'm smoking in an outdoor public area, I try to...

Debates between believers, are they really necessary?

tokouchi @tokouchi (370) • Philippines 10 Nov 09

I'm really disturbed that there are religious groups that promote debates with other believers to make them join theirs. I think it's not proper. We can share our beliefs with others, but to go as far as to debate them with issues...

mrjburt164 If the Bible is not the inerrant Word of God, then we have no standard of belief. The Bible state that it is to be used for correction, among other things. Our form of government allows us to hold whatever beliefs we wish, the almighty does not. As for...

mrjburt164 There will soon be a "disclosure" from governments & the Vatican about aliens, as you have probably heard. I think that if you would spend as much time investigating Christianity as aliens, you would likely change your tone! As for the "excuse" we...

mrjburt164 As in anything, our choices are limited by our resources. What is the currency used to attract a soulmate? Physical attraciveness is #1 in our society. Then there's money. Beliefs held in common rank on the list. Then there's availability.

mrjburt164 I'm confused as to in what or whom you have placed your faith. It seems to me that this is likely your own problem. If you don't know where your faith is placed, its as easy to loose it as anything else you've misplaced.
