Lets take all of our children and other easily convincible people and tell them if they dont believe that the stars are actually giant apples with hair and that want us to send them ice cream, they are going to be tortured for eternity? Anyone wanna join me? I am sure we could make a fortune from this, just tell them that they have to provide to the ice cream fund every year to appease the furry apple stars. We could even write a book, and to make it mroe convincing we will write many times in the book "This is the absolute and truthful word of furry apple star number 42, and we are furry and apples because whatever I say is true".

Now do you see why I dont like Christianity? It is wrong to tell children they are going to be tortured for eternity. Do you know that if you tell a lie so many times, you will actually start to believe it?

It goes on about God creating the world and Man but who created the dinosaurs?
Surely this proves evolution over religion

I recently gave up homosexuality for God, and I was doing good. Then I had a dream about having sex with a man, and he was a hot one. Why would God let me dream such a thing? I am hard as a rock now, and just want to ejaculate over my dream, but I do not want to hurt Gid. What should I do? This is eating me up inside.

Why is there only the term "white trash"? There's black trash and Mexican trash too. But I think I may have made up those terms because no one else uses them. Why? They're better than the words n*gger and be*ner because those words are used to denigrate the whole race, not just the trash.

I am agnostic because im not sure whats true. I mean science is my best bet cuz it makes sense and its proven. But evry religious person thinks its bad not to beleive in god. There is not proof, and thats why im questioning.

then in the SAME BOOK he said that everything in that book is factual... without sources or any sort of backing, and you people believe it? Atheist logic is far superior to your inferior form of "cuz God told me so" logic, we should be in charge of all the major decision making.

I started attending an independent Pentecostal church about eight years ago. Since this church is not associated with the UPC, I did not realize that it was a Oneness church until just recently as the pastor never talked about defending or 'attacking' the belief in the Trinity. However, I am a Trinitarian through and through. Should I stop attending this church, even though it has been my home church for a long time?

The church leadership is wonderful, but I disagree with the Oneness doctrine. It is about the only UPC doctrine that the church maintains, actually. I don't know if a disagreement over the validity of the Trinity is a big reason to leave. The church stands for absolute truth and the inerrancy of the Bible.

I was actually considering leaving the church earlier this summer before I found out about the Oneness doctrine. I was thinking about leaving because I need an accountability group with people around my age, not people twice or three times my age.

I live in a small market town in Scotland....I have lived here for 10 years now. Can't seem to get out of the place. The town is clean and well cared for but the people are so bloody ignorant. If you walk down the street they feel that it is their right to shout abuse at you or make personal comments. I have to say it has never happened to me because I would turn on them but my son and daughter can't go out without someone starting on them.

I know a few lesbians and they all came from single parent households. Their father was absent. However, can a lesbian have a father that is emotionally smothering? And/or a emotionally detached mother? Or vice versa?

...I said everyone who was a Christian was a sheet wearing, black person lynching KKK member?

Then why do so many people seem to think that everyone who is Islamic is a terrorist?

The deeds of the few do not speek for the minds of the many. Most Moslems don't even consider those committing terrorist acts true Moslems, the same way Christians don't see KKK members as true Christians.

Some say the Koran is full of verses about "killing infadels" and such. Well, so is the Bible. Is the Bible "full of hate" too?

What are your thoughts on this?
