Prayer, aside from being a personal petition to God is an act of humilty in itself. God desires humility from us, as it is the greatest of all the virtues, in the sense, we acknowledge God as our Supreme Creator, and move ourselves to our knees before Him, excepting His power and aid as His servants.

Interestingly enough, I still don’t understand why praying is so important. How would an almighty ‘God’ have time for one simple insignificant prayer among the millions of people who pray every day? And more importantly, if God knows all, then wouldn’t he already know what I needed help with?

I have to agree with dam on this one. We cannot say murder is always punished, we have “legal” wars where it is our duty to preform killings. We have rapists that are not punished, mostly in Islamic areas (most others have changed the rules), as the bible tells us that we are to marry the rapist or stone the raped (Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Deuteronomy 22:28-29, Zechariah 14:1-2 – for a few examples). And of course with that one that says why those are important Matthew 5:17.

We as people have ideas of what is right or wrong, we as people want to define laws and to update those laws so that we can have a society that is better for us all. Freedom doesn’t include things like molesting children, that is against what we as a society agree to, religious or not.

Ok…so the universe does not judge. There is no morality or immorality. So does that mean that you are against the entire legal system of the United States? Or any other country, for that matter? You’re ideal society is so ‘free’ that anyone can do anything, without worry of punishment. So you’re trying to tell me that Child Molestation isn’t black and white? What is it then? Should it go unpunished? From your explanation of things, there should be no law with which to live our lives by.

Pray, do tell me…what is so ‘bad’ about religions laws? Is it because it condemns premarital relations and contraception? Or Homosexuality? What exactly… I don’t see anything ‘harmful’ coming from Religion, do you?

Oh yes, I Forgot. The Babe in the Manger is the most offensive image one can display… Yet you can easily post images of naked/half naked women anywhere…right? You’re way of thinking is so screwed up, that it is the reason for society’s current confusion. Things were quiet, life was normal. Until the introduction of your ‘freedom.’ What freedom? The freedom to sin, the freedom to commit crime…

I’m sure you can’t wait till the day they convert Yankee Stadium into a Colliseum.

I like a lot of Catholics. (Mom included-though she is much less judgmental than those on this site.) I will encourage my kids to read sites like yours.

Murder, theft, and rape have always “been punished.” What does that mean? As you know, not all societies have punished murder, theft and rape. And you know that many are not caught. And you know that these crimes are all relative. And you know that murder, theft and rape are not as black and whilte as you like to think.

The universe is not moral or immoral. The universe does not judge.
