Good luck to you. I did the same thing, starting when I was 12. What I meant to say in my post is that I think any religious teaching should be done only after the child is of an age where he can explore all religions and decide what is right for them. By raising a child in one religion it is inevitable that they will always identify with that religion.... especially in the bad times, the times when one needs their faith the most. As much as I wish you luck and hope you find what you are looking for I can almost certainly predict you will end up either remaining a Roman Catholic or at the very least a christian.... more likely protestant then Orthodoxed. |
haha i appreciate your take on it, but as much as i love my mom and respect catholics and their teachings, i am very far from it. i dont practice any religion at the moment, but all my beliefs are in parallel to Buddhism. :p |

Incorrect... no religion states that so long as you say sorry you're cool with the big guy. The term is REPENT, you must REPENT your sins. Which is to say you must a) confess them, b) atone for them, and c) refrain from committing them again. |

Better challenge.... find a passage in the bible that refers to "burning" in hell. This idea of burning and hell being made of fire and brimstone comes from Daunte's Inferno... "the pain shall be as if one's flesh were burning without end".... the bible makes no mention of fire, burning, or stone. The only thing the bible really says about hell is that it is outside of the sight and love of God. |
Revelation refers to the eternal pit of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, but there certainly isn't a reference to burning in hell. That's where, I assume, people get it from. Either way, that's the wrong concept to focus on. The bible focuses on God's love and forgiveness, not his punishment, especially in the New Testament (which is the new covenant). |

What really gets me is this new trend of bible bashing. It's just as irrational as the bible thumpers' undying desire to convert. Can there be no middle ground?
We as humans are small, piddly, insignificant. We are not all there is. I think it's an important value for us all the comprehend. There is a higher power. It's not all about us, us, us. Me, me, me. Mine, mine, mine. We don't have to realize this by means of organized religion.
I agree with Butterfly on all she's said.
Religion and Wars? Aren't wars merely a means of over-population prevention? Of redistribution?
:stongue: My teacher told me this one day, I just about shat me panties.
Javi, always knowing how to press people's buttons. :stongue:
Edit* Nevermind, I see your finally elaborating a bit! |

I cannot answer this with certainty as I am not the judge of such things.
Based on most christian churchs teachings yes you should be alright if you were to repent after all of that. The question one needs to ask is whether or not such acts can be repented. How does one atone for something so severe.... I mean really, 20 billion is a big blood debt to pay. |

Like I said.....
No one knows if they're going to heaven, because
A.It might not exist
B.We don't know if God wants you in
C.You're Going to hell |

Depends what's in your heart. God can see through you, if you are just doing it to cover your ass. |

ok she just found out that my uncle's wife is an athiest and she's freaking out because my little cousin (he's like 3) isn't going to have "God" in his life and she just went on and on about how it's "WRONG" and "he needs to be brought up with some sort of belief system BLA BLA BLA BLA" which, i'm not saying i disagree with, but it's NOT HER KID, it's her nephew, and it's my UNCLE'S job to try to work something out with HIS WIFE and HIS SON...
i mean am i right or am i right?
god, she ing thinks everyone in the world has to see things her way or they're wrong. |
I agree that the parent has the right to raise their children in whichever way they think is best for the children. And that's pretty universal.
What I do have a problem with is parents teaching their children about religion at that early of an age before they can truly understand it's concepts. This is especially true for many Western religions where many subjects are addressed in absolutes. An educated responsible parent should recognize she doesn't have all the answers and neither do a single religion. What a parent can do it instill into her child the search for universal truth and trust that the child, as he develops, will pick a belief system best for him. |
