Religion

Roman Catholic

"If there is a God, yeah, why does he let bad things happen to good people?"

You tend to get a terrible sense of deja vu with these threads.

Seriously, though, personally, I take things as they come, if that is any answer at all, and if it isn't I apologise but I can do no better.

The arguing hasn't started yet? Wow. 😂

I'm a Christian. I'm not an extremely strong Christian, will be later on.

Hey, could some of the mods at stuff like the "None" option and other options that I just didn't know about the religion?

Well, I'll leave it to queeq or Dim.

Heck no.... this is too much fun.

But there is this sense of deja vu indeed, that strange phenomenon that you have lived through something before...

The only thing Tex and I have in common.....

I do not believe in God either.
I don`t know what it is called in english, but in norwegian,,,,we call it "hedning".

Mah, finti, Thomas....help me out here..

God is called Hedning? 😕

ah yes...deja vu...everytime you get here, you think you already posted here

I have had personal experience that leaves me without a doubt that there is a God. Once, when my brother was very small he was in the kitchen with my mother. She had her back turned and was doing something or other. He was about to pick up one of the steak knives until he heard a male voice say "Don't touch that knife, Brad." And there was no one else in the house.

Also once when my second oldest brother and I weren't born yet my parents were with my oldest brother in the car on a bridge. All of a sudden a car was heading in the opposite direction in the same lane as them. There was no way that they could've swerved or gotten out of the car's path because a car was right beside of them in the next lane. The closed their eyes and braced for impact but it didn't come. When they looked the car was behind them.

And once my dad had a mass detected in his stomach. We all prayed and prayed and prayed and when they went to the doctor he said that all it was was divriticulitis. The whatever-it-was had actually shrunk. He was astonished that he had even sent in. He thought that surely the doctor who examined him first would've known it wasn't serious

Yeah, but I'm a good Catholic, your probably one of those Italian mafia type Catholics! 😛 😉

the Sicilians invented prostitution

You sure about that? Prostitution dates from ancient times.

Probably from ancient Sicily 😉

I wonder if there will ever be a way to prove some religions are real, like how they found that boat up on Mount Ararat in Turkey. They say it dates back to the times of Noah's Ark.

I don't know, they just said something about that on the History channel one day. I thought it was an interesting subject and I had read somethin about it.

last I heared they were still searching for that...

and besides it's already accepted that a flood took place, every civilization has a myth about that

It's most unlikely the Ararat of the Bible is actually to be located in Turkey. It's more likely to be the ancient mountains of Arrata... in the Zagros Mountains. This is alos where the story of the Sumerian version of Noah and the Flood is located.

And I guess Sicilians don't pay for it. 😉

Tex, I have no connections to the mafia !!

At least none I can tell you about.

So now I'm a Amish Chick-Catholic Mobsteress-Mad Doctor-queeq lover.

I wonder how this will look on my next resume ?

I heard on some movie someone said that the Sicilians invented prostitution even though its probably not true.

it isn't...
