I'm bi-sexual, and I have come out to my friends and my siblings, but my parents have no idea. I've been having trouble telling them because, although they have never given me a reason to believe that they would hate me for it, I know they dissapprove of "the gays"(as they call them). I need some help on how to let them know without overwhelming them with it.

I used to be a practicing catholic and believe everything 100% Now as im getting older, not neccesarily old, just not a young child anymore(14) I realized christians on here seem kind of brainwashed. like you never question anything, especially the fact that the bible was written by man, and not in english. I mean the general message of the bible was love others, which is great. But it also seems like much of this whole religion is fear tactic and contradiction. like jesus saying forgive your brother 77 times, but sending people who dont ask for foregiveness until they realize theres a god to hell. I mean, the religion is supposed to teach tolerance and love, but there are some christians who believe inter-racial marriage is wrong, homosexuality is quote "the devil", and only love people with the same political and religious views as them. I mean I love a lot of christians and catholics. My whole family is catholic, 80% of my friends are catholic, but don't any of you ever question it?

I've always been quite interesting in canada even though I live in the u.s. and the fact that the u.s. is moneyed and powerful does not necessarily mean it is the best country in the world. there are many other aspects involved as well. the u.s. may surpass other countries in some aspects but not all of them.both canada and the
u.s. are great countries to live and enjoy a better standard of living.

My work is new and unique and I deal only with the Truth of the Scriptures.

The fact that I was brought up a Christian and became Muslim and have written extensively on the Scriptures in my attempt to bring the Truth to both Christians and Muslims for the sake of World Peace, speaks volumes for the level of my writing.

The fact that both Muslims and Christians remain confused by the facts that I am able to throw at them shows that the Scriptures still remain unfamiliar to many.

The fact that I can challenge the scholars to prove me wrong and have them look for the easy way out by reporting that I insult them in order to have the Question thrown out, since they are unable to prove me wrong and unable, in some cases, even to comprehend the Question because the information is so new to them, although it is in their own Scripture that they claim to cherish, but which they really fear to examine for the Truth.

Come on!

Prove me wrong like the men you think you are!

I can't think of any good reason to come out of the closet. It just seems like it would attract negative attention and discrimination rather than anything positive.

Let's assume in the Bible: God = Sun; Earth = Garden of Eden; Earth = Hell (if we don't take care of it); End times = Global Warming/ weather pattern changes. Whether Earth remains as Eden depends on our ability to put aside our differences (i.e., achieve World Peace), and deal with the most immediate threat (i.e., Global Warming). If we are unable to do this, the Earth may look like Venus or Mars (which has been hypothesized to once have had life) in the not-to-distant future. If this is the actual true underlying story in the Bible, we should be concerned right now. Thoughts?

WHY GOD EXISTS
I like this explanation!
WHY GOD EXISTS
This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand. A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about all kinds of things.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?"asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument! The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.Just after he

Now, in XXI age, we already discovered 2 deepest spiritual teachings: secret teaching of Hebrews in a form o ARI/Ashlagian kabbalah and fresh sources of secret teaching of Yeshua haMashiah in a form of Nag Hammadi (Gospels of Tomas, Philip, Judas, Truth, Mary etc) and other archeological findings. So where are direct connections between these two treasures at a level of spiritual laws ? What will be denominator between these two ?

Seriously, he knew the Romans were going to flog the skin off of him, he knew he was going to dangle in the scorching sun for hours(in a loincloth no less!), in front of hundreds of people(women!)and be showered with abuse.He willingly walked into it! Maybe he had an ulterior motive beside 'saving us from our sins'. Maybe an exibitionist,too?
