so one of the first things we learn in Genisis, the first book in the bible is that God created us in his image. Is that limited to looks? Why isn't the way we think, the way we act, not included in that? because the bible says God is perfect? We were created in his image. Why is God supposed to be the high and might above us? What is it that makes us believe if he were in our very shoes, he would not do the same things found unacceptable in the religious world? Because he wasn't temted by satan? because some chick and dude ate a piece of fruit thosands of years ago, we are now forced to live with pain and suffering? why didn't he just cast them out and start anew? if thier disobediance was so repulsive to him, why not start a new. Because he was merciful? He let us all suffer because of their transgression?

adding more details, don't answer yet.....

"There are great men who make others feel small in comparision. But a truly great man is he who makes others feel great". So said Rabindra Nath Tagore, one of the great writers of the 20th century. However, will this statement stand the test of time and hold true in today's world?

To say gays were born that way would mean God made a mistake correct? I'm not here to bash gays I just don't agree with the saying that you were born that way. God chooses if he want you to be a man or a woman by the obvious body part. Somewhere in life you chose to like the same sex. Why are people blaming this on God? In a lot of cases a person was hurt either by a parent or an ex-lover and converted over to being gay so do you say they were born this way too?

This topic makes me so mad and i just want to know why some of you think it is wrong OR right that gay marriage should be completley banned or unbanned.

I think it should be completley legilized because some of the things in the bible are out of date and CHRISTIANS dont even obey and go by some of the stuff. It use to be wrong from interacial couples to be together and have kids but now look at the world it is full of them?

What do you think?

With Iran stirring things up it seems likely. Its been predicted. Since Israel is God's chosen home and its people, His people, would He help Israel to win the battle showing the world He is still in control?

Why do so many Christians fail to understand that ancient eunuchs were transsexuals and the equivalent of modern day, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendereds? That's what eunuchs are today in India... the Hijra are transsexuals... that's what eunuchs always were... transsexuals. Furthermore... not all of them were castrated, that is a false connotation as Eunuch technically means "bed keeper" from the greek koine and has nothing to do with other more accurate words from both latin and greek that could have been used to identify a castrated man. A majority of eunuchs were probably homosexual men and if they already behaved effeminately they wouldn't need to be castrated. True there are parts of the Bible that clearly denounce the intergendered, but there are MORE parts that support and encourage us. Why are these ignored??? Are we all just doomed to hell because we cannot escape the sins of racism, sexism and bigotry???

I dont think it would be complete without having to watch every episode of "Saved by the Bell" over and over and over and over, for eternity, with your eyes pried open, while at the same time having to listen to "Welcome to the Jungle" on repeat forever.
What do you think: Yes, No, or Bisexual.

I post a funny story about the ludicrous idea of Jesus being the son of god and people report me for abuse. Come on now. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are insulting you. Let people speak here, even if you don't like it. Read your bible and follow your religion. I believe it teaches tolerance and acceptance of all. I would call people hypocrites. But, that would be a violation and an insult.
