Does Your Faith Burden You?
« on: May 14, 2008, 07:20 AM »

How far would your go for your faith?
A court in Ghana has charged a father of neglect, after he refused to allow his son to receive a blood transfusion, which might have saved his life.

The man has pleaded not guilty to charges of negligence, arguing that his faith prohibits blood transfusions.

In a separate development, the leader of the Anglican church in Nigeria,Bishop Peter Akinola, has asked the country's many Christian polygamists to give up their extra wives, as the issue could "make a mockery" of the church.

Until now converts to Christianity have been allowed to keep their polygamous relationships.

How much would you sacrifice for your faith?Are the beliefs of your faith non-negotiable? Or do you feel your faith give you values to aim for but which you struggle to meet all the time? Should there be a limit to how much faith dictates your lifestyle?

The only thing you do sacrifice for your faith is your reason and intellectual independence.

well im not very versed in these things especially as i know all you gys in the religious section are einsteins Grin but like it says in the bible the road to salvation is rough so i think if your faith doesnt burden you in an increasingly secular world,then something must be going wrong somewhere,i can't judge the man fom ghana rightly or wrongly but being a christian,i don't know what the man must have felt or seen besides who knows GOD's designs in any situation.

if you believe you are sacrificing your reason and intellect for religion then im guessing you r a scientist/atheist
