I just don't get how a church can say that a person is hated or not accepted by god because they are gay. God made out of love with love and it even states in the Bible that we are his children and he loves us no mater what. He may not approve of our choices, but he still loves us.....right???

A recent survey shows that 40 percent of British Muslims want Islamic Sharia law in the United Kingdom. Sharia imposes punishments such as amputations and stonings. And in a separate poll, nearly one third of Muslims (32 percent) agreed with the statement that "Western society is decadent and immoral, and that Muslims should seek to bring it to an end."
The Dutch Parliament has tried to strike a blow against radical Islam by voting to ban the burqa and veils. But that exposes unveiled women to being raped by Muslim men as punishment. There is reported to be a growing rape epidemic of unveiled women in Europe.
t is a similar story all over Europe. Muslims demonstrate and chant: "Khlabar, Khalbar, O Jew, the Army of Mohammed is coming for you."
And Europe's problem with radical Muslims is our problem too, because they cry, "Nuke, nuke U.S.A. In your blood, in your blood...”
They say that many moderates are changing to radical..
What do you think?? Is this happening Muslims??

No, I'm not talking about the one's that aren't married. But the ones that are...I am a young Christian woman and I love pleasing my husband. Is that taboo for Christian women to say out loud? Do most married Christian women enjoy making love to their husbands?

Okay. So I know this is quite a predicamint. (sp). I wish I could get over it. Whenever I'm around this person at work I try to avoid him/her (not giving out specifics-smile) because of what I'm feeling. I only end up sounding stupid anyway. This has been giving me headaches :-P

At what point during the last century did it all go wrong? As a planet we all seemed to be chugging along, a couple of bumps along the way (WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, IraqII, etc.), but mainly alright. As long as you were born on the right continent.

So at what point, exactly, did it all go wrong?

I personally think it was when JFK was shot, it didn't help his brother was shot either. We could've probably used Dr.Luther as well. Hmmmm....

Such as a Catholic priest wearing a collar and robes or a nun wearing a habit or a Jew wearing a yamaka or a Muslim wearing head scarves and, well, I could go on and on.Why is that?Can God not see us worshipping him without costumes?Can clergy not minister their flock without dressing up in costumes?Does the cloth give special powers to the wearer?Does God only see us if we wear special clothes?

This is a very serious question. Mature responses only.

And also I was wondering about the 2nd commandment in the Protestant version, which states :

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Does this commandment against images/idols apply to images of Jesus, The Virgin Mary etc.?

I read this article the other day written by a brotha who was encouraging all African-American to refuse being called that. Says he was born in USA, so that dont make him any African - he's all AMERICAN? Do you feel that way too? Whose idea was it to move from Black American to African American? What would you rather be called? Well, Im all African.

I served a mission for the Mormon (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) I found that many who call themselves Christian treated me with absolute rudeness and hate. Why? I believe in Christ and I love God. What is the problem. Please be respectful.

Many on this thread ask if God exists. Let's turn the tables.

Do YOU exist? If so, prove it. ...And no babble (oops) Bible verses are allowed as proof.

Let the games begin!
