sorry for the poorly worded question, but if I and my same sex lover move into your neighborhood, or apartment complex, or I, a gay man, start working where you work, and put a picture of myself and another male, both wearing wedding rings, on my desk...(this will sound more like a challenge than I want, but) what are going to do about it?

I CERTAINLY believe they do. After studying on my own the book of Revelations, I see many prophecies coming true in DIRECT relation to the Earth's weather.

The Masoretes, who from about the 6th to the 10th century worked to reproduce the original text of the Hebrew Bible, replaced the vowels of the name YHWH with the vowel signs of the Hebrew words Adonai or Elohim. Thus, the artificial name Jehovah (YeHoWaH) came into being. (Encyclopædia Britannica)

Is there some sort of standard for such a thing?
I'm skilled at a rather eclectic blend of things,
but I'm just as willing to lend voice/thoughts/hope
as I am to lend hands....
I can't seem to find a better catagory for this than 'community service', so I WOULD like to note that this is not forced labor :)

The term Inquisition (Latin: Inquisitio Haereticae Pravitatis Sanctum Officium) refers broadly to a number of historical movements orchestrated by the Pope and aimed at securing Papal religious and financial authority in Europe through the conversion, and sometimes persecution, of alleged heretics.

In Spain and Portugal, the auto da fes and pre-decided trials of accused heretics, often ended with men and women being burned alive. Spanish missionaries would later import the Inquisition to the New World, convicting and killing Central and South Americans who refused to convert to Catholicism from the early sixteenth century onward.

There were four major movements, starting with the Medieval Inquisition in 1184 and ending with the Spanish Inquisition in 1834.

the deciples of the Bible are not just a bunch of guys pulling a pactical joke for the past 2000 years. What if they truly made it all up? The bible is our only true documentation of Jesus' time.

I speak Spanish and I've studied some French, but it amazes me that I can actually read and understand Portuguese, Catalan, and some Italian as well without ever having studied them (mostly, of course there are words and usages unique to each of them) . I can't do Romanian, though... no matter how hard my Romanian friend tries with me :) . So, I've got the Romance languages almost down. What are your experiences with languages in other families?

It's the best thing about languages, you know one in a family and you're already halfway to the rest.

Santa Clause counts all naughty acts and all nice acts, and if nice overrides naughty, you get presents, but in the real world where there are real religions and real faiths, most stating that there is an ultimate judge or God who lets those who are good into heaven. What right do any of these religions or deities or stately figures have in telling the universe what is right and what is wrong, when the acts of right and wrong, love and hate, are infinitely complex. The mind is complex and no two are alike.

I know I'm opening up a HUGE area of debate here but I'm curious to see what the majority of Christians believe.

Scripture is plain that Christians are supposed to submit to the governmental authority they find themselves under; be it the unholy Roman Empire and being thrown to the lions, or the tyranny of the English crown and being taxed without representation in the 1700’s. Our duty is to pray for the authorities, not rebel. Were our forefathers then not ‘in sin’ in rebelling against the then present legal authority, the King of England? And if so, then does that mean we are bastard nation in God’s eyes? (that would explain a lot)

To me, big bang is like saying you can light a stick of dynomite, put it in the auto parts store and let it explode and the end result is you have a Corvette.That how far fetched big bang is, to me.
