Affiliate Marketing Secrets

If a Catholic or Orthodox Christian is baptized as an infant, and then cuts all ties to that church as an adult, would they have to be baptized again, this time after having studied the Bible and taken the initiative themselves… what if they are no longer affiliated with any church (non-denominational/no religion)

I don’t think America is becoming more religious. As a college student who knows many people across this country at institutions of higher education, most of them don’t believe in a god. As these younger generations grow up and make it into political office, religion will decline in civilized areas even more. I guarantee I’ll see the first president of this country who puts agnostic (or hopefully atheist) as their religious belief rather than Christian.
According to a 2007 Pew poll, the number of “non-affiliated” Americans was 16.1%, up from 8% just one decade before. This number is nearly 25% in the under 25 age group. And 55% of those who self-identify as “atheists” are under 35. So yes, the trend is that America is getting less religious and more and more young people in particular are turning away from religion.

Study: Religion May Head Toward ‘Extinction’ in Many Western Countries

Christ, Jesus Christ. Although it cannot so far be proved indefinably we can say that it is a truth that Jesus did exist for his life, choices, stances and philosophy’s have affected many and dwell in the hearts and minds in much the same way that Spider man effects a young mans conciseness.
A very famous book called the bible (the fist ever words to be committed to print) covered his life and times and the people he met along the way including his 12 disciples. The book is a collaborative effort to describe the positive community developments when people commit there lives to that of the greater good.
The Bible describing the life and times of J.C. was used in Westernized society’s alongside capitalism to propel the country’s people into the industrial revolution (they were coming out of the dark/middle ages).
The miraculousness thing about jesus was that he appeared in his mummy’s tummy without his fathers input …in other words the immaculate conception.
The fact that his mother and father had to travel a vast distance (because of work?) could cause us to question the reliability of that information and is usually the first thing that critics point out. However it was said that his journey to earth was marked by the stars, stars that three wise men chose to follow? To a small town in Bethlehem, Jerusalem.
Jesus father Joseph was a carpenter which was regarded in those days as an honorable profession. But he doesn’t appear according to the readings to have had more than an initial influence on Jesus. Mary his mother hardly gets a mention apart from her position as Virginal (and therefore desirably) Vestibule.
At heart Jesus appears to be the equivalent of a philosopher ..someone who ponders and acts on the fundamental problems of the society he lives under such as Existence, values, reason, mind and language. It is a philosophers job to create a rational argument (hopefully conclusion) to validate findings.
Jesus was obviously a very practical man and used his life in a self sacrificing way to point out the injustices in the system of government he was living under.
It is said he performed miracle’s (acts of collective will) such as turning water into wine.
Thanks to British scientists today who have researched and proven that achohol is not necessary to produce the effects of acting drunk…
We could therefore speculate from our vantage point in history that what happened that night was an enjoyable evening even if it started and conclude with water and maybe the writer explaining the evening (to the popular masses) chose to use creative license to aid the readers impression of what jesus had achieved that night.
Jesus was an old time Hero but you cannot deny his existence today as his words, teachings and concepts educate many of the populous into maturity and has as good as built the towers of control and imprisonment that we all are effected by.
Please note that Christianity is a branch of Religion that originated in Judaism ..the fundamental difference between the two religions is that the Jews do not believe that he rose again Easter is not a Jewish recognized holiday
…..Jesus was a Jew.
As someone who has turned from their original religious upbringing because of its hypocritical stance on so many subjects it would be a whole new debate. Has failed to fully encompass the Big Bang Theory im not sure if scientists today are less witch doctors then there historical counterparts and although i thank god for many of there discovery’s which have made it easier for me to understand and validate my world. I often find myself questioning the ethics of some of there areas of research and worry about the god like status they have achieved to position themselves into at this current point in history.
And although i know there are various pressure groups i could affiliate myself with to cope with my confusion i have not yet found one that covers my particular interests which is providing the best possible future for my children. Which I believe would be a conclusion to who has the best creation myth.i think the acopolitic (even though i can’t spell it) nature of the current state of the world needs some sort of miraculous, common man conclusion to the religion debate to move forward.
We cannot deny that spirituality exists (even science will testify to that) and in what form spirituality exists i believe is a personal choice.
But in the age of the internet (worldwide effective communication) and termendulous weather, central morality is probably the key to the future, as history dictates that society’s spiraling out of control normally end quite abruptly.
Can you help me gain some sort of formal conclusions to my findings to pass to my children
If you actually got this far thankyou for your time.

the American Physical Society –
The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.
“in a large number of modern secular democracies, there’s been a trend that folk are identifying themselves as non-affiliated with religion; in the Netherlands the number was 40%, and the highest we saw was in the Czech Republic, where the number was 60%.”
A recent poll showed that only 14 percent of Canadians think that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years.

Why did the lady kick me out of her house?
I am a part-time Sales Rep, and I was promoting some products at a lady’s house. The lady was 90 years old. At the beginning of my demo, she got up, looked out her window, and said: “He is coming. I can’t be seen with you. You are going to have to leave my house”.
I thought maybe it was a racial issue (I am a South Asian minority). However, the lady was black, and I think she was Islamic and affiliated with an Islamic Church.
Why did she kick me out of her house?
Did it have something to do with her religion? Did she kick me out of her house because of racial reasons?
I even had asked her before I left her house. I said: “Are you kicking me out because of the color of my skin?”. She made some strange “tick-like” behavior with her head, and responded: “Yeah, your going to have to leave”. Her response sounded kind of like as if she was thinking about something else, while responding.
But, I don’t think it could of been a racial reason, because she had let me in her house, and even when I left, she said bye to me nicely and stuff. I don’t know…….given the lady’s age and other factors, the whole appointment with her was awkward, even though she did seem like a NICE lady.
I had this appointment with her back on February 15th.
I was thinking of calling this lady on the phone today, and saying to her: “Hi, i had an appointment several weeks ago with you. I was just curious of why u had kicked me out of your house so early during my demo-presentation of the products i was selling. Was it because of the color of my skin?”. However, that would be a strange thing to do, since the appointment was several weeks ago, and the lady is 90 years old, so she probably doesn’t remember or is aware of what happened that day.
And she said that she was the only one who lived in that house.
She gave me her secretary’s phone number during the beginning of my demo-presentation (before she had asked me to leave), which ended up not even being her secretary, but just her friend (I found that out, after calling the secretary and speaking with her. She told me that she was not her secretary, but just her friend). Okay.
By the way, I am a 24 year old male (just to let you know). Okay.
Also, if you are Islamic, or know a lot about the Islamic culture, please let me know whether or not her wanting me to leave her house has anything to do with that.
