For example whilst the UK and Sweden both have an official religion people are free to pratice how they like, and minority religous rights are protected..

However in France and Turkey whilst there is no state religion .and all religious symbals are banned from many public area.s..

Does that necessarily meant they are more free?
In England a women has the right protected by law to wear a hijab yet in French girls are not allowed to wear hijabs to school (or any any other religous symbals... In Turkey women in hijab can not go to university or work in a government building...



Is removal of religious symbals really a sign of fredom? Are you offended by a Jewish skull cap (In France they can not wear that to school)?

Or does a truely democratic country mean freedom to practice a religion aswell?

Have you ever wondered if, after you die, you go to neither heaven nor hell, but rather, just disappear (almost like a dreamless sleep). I've been thinking about it, and it's made me appreciate life a bit more. What do you think?

John 10:14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Do you suppose he was warning his disciples to not be quick to determine who his sheep are and not to attempt to make that decision for him?

If so, why are modern christians so quick to state who is "really" part of the flock and who is not?

But please say this little prayer before you go night night....

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Imagine... You met the perfect person and fell deeply in love with that person and everything about that person fit into your life..That is, except, that were an Athiest or at least did not believe as you religiously.But, you decided that you loved this person enough to overlook that fact and would hope to convert that person as your relationship grew.
As time goes on you have been together for many years.Maybe you have had kids with this person.Maybe not.Maybe you married this person.Maybe you just live together and/or have a domestic partnership status.Your life is happy...BUT, they still won't convert.Is your love strong enough to continue knowing they well never convert?Or would you leave them because your religion comes before love?

Now, I know that many might say, "I would not have started a relationship with that person in the first place"..But for this question...Lets just say you did....Would love prevail or would religion continue to get in the way?

why do many people think that just because you're older means you know more and you know better. im sick of it. if one is capable of doing what someone older can do then why dont they have the same privaleges. for instance getting a job.. why do u have to be 16 to wash dishes. hah thats g@y. or just because youre young no one will bother listening. what kind of future is this?!

the other idea is that Adam was created with one extra rib and was unbalanced to begin with. But that still does not adress the question of right or left and whether or not Eve was sinister

But you are born gay or lesbian, gays and lesbians are born with too many hormones of the opposite hormone and in time come to realize that the feelings won't go away. You can't just become gay or lesbian, fooling around with the same sex is one thing, but in order to truly feel the need for a serious relationship of the same sex is something you have no control over unless you get a very expensive surgery or w/e. but I just think all those who hate gays are too judgmental and i can just hope karma will bite them in the *** one day.

My mom met my dad and got married. They of their own free will had sex and had my oldest brother. They could have chosen not to at the last minute and not had him. Now what happens here is a female egg is fertalized by a sperm carrying an X or Y chromosome, this determined that he was my brother not my sister. Now, his cells assembled by chemical stimuli, which we can identify, to become certain body parts. He was born with certain qualities in his frontal brain lobe determining his personality. It was also affected by the way he was raised. He is smart because he was taught by other people and experience, he is strong because he worked and and exercised, and he is alive because his body's organs are working to keep him so alll the time. At what point did God play into this equation? Sorry for any offense I've caused.
