Question by gary d: the cross is an ancient pagan phallic symbol admits catholics whats your thoughts?
There is no evidence that for the first 300 years after Christ’s death, those claiming to be Christians used the cross in worship. In the fourth century, however, pagan Emperor Constantine became a convert to apostate Christianity and promoted the cross as its symbol. Whatever Constantine’s motives, the cross had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. The cross is, in fact, pagan in origin. The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures.” Various other authorities have linked the cross with nature worship and pagan sex rites

every religion is built off of one or another, despite any claims. Of course the cross can be found in more than one religion.
It’s found in many.

Question by Grey: My theory explaining spirits and the soul. Thoughts please?
I was wondering about this little idea i had. When our psychical body dies if we our lucky then by chance the remaining electrical energy inside our body then surges to your brain and absorbs you collective consciousness. So after this process your mind becomes some sort of electrical consciousness and very much still a sentient mind.
ThIs could mean story’s of spirits and ghosts are really just people who shed there metaphysical form and ascended into another plane.
Ok i know this is just a random idea but i would like your thoughts on it please.

Everyone is welcome to any kind of opinion although i ask it is constructive .

Is it constructive to simply say this is more baseless speculation about an afterlife for which there is a lot of wishful thinking and there isn’t a shred of evidence?

Question by im3ngs: What are your thoughts on the recent law suit in California about the Intelligent Design class?
If Intelligent Design cannot be taught in a philosophy class (where it really belongs as it is more a metaphysical discussion than science), then where are our students going to have a forum to discuss and think critically about this and other ideas and thoughts?? I am FOR the separation of church and state, don’t get me wrong… but I think this suit is ridiculous. Basically, religious studies cannot be taught in public schools. But it’s so backwards–because all our other subjects have to do with preparing for LIFE (social studies, math, science, reading, writing)… all subjects that involve religion or influence to some degree, whether we like it or not. Why do we have this all-or-none approach? Is it possible to involve religion with strict oversight/guidance?
I agree that it would be difficult, hence, the need for strict guidelines or pre-planned curriculum. And even the clear understanding of the teacher/instructor of who is selected to be nonbiased as possible. It is possible. Not teaching it is not an option simply because of difficulty.
Teachers will ALWAYS have a view… it’s finding teachers that emphasize critical thinking over specifics of one particular view.

thats an interesting question, we just learned about that whole issue in self and identity class (dont ask)…we talked about the origins of earth, man, etc. and how this stupid lawsuit is ruining everything…i think that a person should be entitled to their opinion, and adding lets say religion to a Catholic teaching anyways wouldnt do ANY harm…and the most common belief relious wise is the whole God created the world in seven days thing…i think that religion can carefully be incorporated into schools without overdoing anything…its lame in general
