    Christianity - Idolatry

    Is there any religion that actually worships statues? Idolotry isn't about worshiping statues. It's about making physical representations of things that don't have physical properties.

    The Measure of a Religion

    Though religion gives us some pretty good standards, I think that God would rather us be "moral atheists" than "immoral theists". When you were a kid, how many times did your parents tell you, "I shouldn't have to tell you to clean your room. You're old enough to do it by yourself."? My mom...

    Is Christianity polytheistic?

    Christianity is Henotheistic. Not all Henotheists are Christians - I'm not. Henotheism is described as being "monotheism in principle and polytheism in fact" (wiki). Henotheists acknowlegde the existence of many Gods, but usually only worship one at a time. Sometimes they worship only the...

    Life after death.

    On the whole heaven in the Bible thing... I don't think that it actually says anything about heaven in the Bible. There are a lot of mentions of the "Kingdom of God", but you don't actually get there until the world ends. My explanation is: You die. You have absolutely no awareness of...

    Life after death.

    DMT is like LSD times a thousand, but it only lasts for about a half an hour. I've never done it, but I've read stories by people who have. The best explanation I've read is when a guy said that, whereas LSD puts you through tunnels, DMT actually turns you into the tunnels. They say that...

    the causality issue...there is no issue

    In a Klein Bottle sort of way. I still leave room for perhapses, though. If our universe is indeed in a Klein Bottle shape, we may have created ourselves. Not directly, of course. It'd be like looking into a spyglass and seeing your bum in the lens. In linear time, matter cannot be...

    "In his own image" - pagans too.......

    If you look up "Image" at Strong's, one of the other meanings is "Idea". Could this be significant?

    Does God Have Genitalia

    You've stumped me there. I think that what I was trying to say was something along the lines of: If a human has no genitals, and no "Y" chromosome, it is not a male. God has niether, and is therefore not a male.

    Praying

    What if you pray in a way that others don't approve of? Er, say you were a Christian with the flu, and I was a Pagan who practiced witchcraft. Would it bother you if I laid a healing spell on you without your consent? What if I asked first? Don't worry - it's against the rules to do it...

    the causality issue...there is no issue

    This is why I'm a Henotheist. I'm pretty sure there's a God. There may be more than one, but I'm sure of at least one. I believe that it was this God who was the cause of existence and non-existence. People ask me, "Who created your God?" And I answer "God". Not that I...

    "In his own image" - pagans too.......

    Isn't that what Christians did to Jesus?

    My New View of the (non)Trinity

    When I was Christian, I never really understood the Trinity thing. Actually, I never even cared... But that's beside the point. The point? Oh! The point! Okay. After nosing about for some stuff on Sophia (or Wisdom - as the Old Testament calls her), I ran across this very...

    Does God Have Genitalia

    Och, and what am I? Eve was made in the image of God, also. She was Adam's clone without a "Y" chromosome. Actually, that's a bit off. If you had been born without the male genitalia, you would not have been a male. But if you had your jewels, then had them cut off, you still...

    Does God Have Genitalia

    In Job, God also has a womb.

    Does God Have Genitalia

    Oops... I made the comment about nipples and forgot to follow it up with a point: One of God’s titles, “El Shaddai”, says that God has nipples. El means “God”. Shaddai means “many breasts”, based upon the root word shad, meaning “breast”. God’s either got a lotta boobies, or he has a...

    Hallioo!

    Thanks guys! I look forward to "meeting" you all.

    Reconciliation pt. 1: The deities

    Don't forget about Sophia... The personification of Wisdom is sometimes identified with the Holy Spirit. One of the most important differences between Matthew in the modern Bible and the old Hebrew (yes... Hebrew - not Greek)version used by some early Christians is the verse where Jesus calls...

    Hallioo!

    Hello, everyone! My name's Bedel (sounds like bagel). This isn't my first debate forum, but I'm widening my options. I'm a Henotheist and a witch. I believe in one God, but I'm pretty sure that there are some other Gods and Goddesses out there. I use quantum magic, which does not involve...

    Does God Have Genitalia

    I've a better question... Does he have nipples?
