Questions: Religion & Spirituality

Erasing someone from existence is simply that. Removing them from existence. Like Thanos from Avengers (if you know, you know)

Restoring someone's existence means to have the ability to make them healthy (remove illnesses and diseases, make young, etc) and live as long as you'd like.

I know this is a random question, but me and my mom were talking about this yesterday, and I don't wanna wait for the Pope to die to ask it, so I'm asking it now.

The Pope after all is responsible for representing and influencing the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, so can't you argue that it's only fair that these 1.4 billion Catholics should have a say in who represents them?

As an atheist, it offends me (& polytheists) that I have to see & handle currency that has "In God We Trust". Courts say its fine!

Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be.

Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, vowed a legal fight against the law they deemed “blatantly unconstitutional.” But it is a battle that proponents are prepared, and in many ways, eager, to take on.

The legislation is part of a broader campaign by conservative Christian groups to amplify public expressions of faith, and provoke lawsuits that could reach the Supreme Court, where they expect a friendlier reception than in years past.

Governor argued that the Ten Commandments contained valuable lessons for students.

“If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.

It will also include a three-paragraph statement asserting that the Ten Commandments were a “prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”

That reflects the contention by supporters that the Ten Commandments are not purely a religious text but also a historical document, arguing that the instructions handed down by God to Moses in the Book of Exodus are a major influence on United States law.

“Given all the junk our children are exposed to in classrooms today, it is imperative that we put the Ten Commandments back in a prominent position,” said State Representative Dodie Horton, the Republican sponsor of the legislation.

The measure allows for “our children to look up and see what God says is right and what he says is wrong,” Ms. Horton told colleagues. “It doesn’t preach a certain religion, but it definitely shows what a moral code we all should live by is.”

My group leader invoked 1 Corinthians 5 on me because of my "indulgence in sin" and casted me out of his group. In the process, he called my soon-to-be fiance as a "booty call". How dare him.
