In Leviticus, the bible condemns homosexuality as an "abomination", giving some Christians a reason to hate, harass, torture and kill gays and even picket their funderals with " God hates fags" signs. In the same book of the bible the eating of shellfish is equally an "abomination". Are these Christians planning to go after the patrons of Red Lobster next?

I've spent the last 3 years searching for what is in my heart and I've found it and it sure wasn't Bible-God.

Should I choose to deny what is in my heart and just believe in the Bible?

Is that how this belief stuff stuff works?

I deny everything I feel and believe and start participating in the rituals, babbling the chants and tithing and then I get rewarded for all eternity in Heaven?

Considering how Leviticus is considered old law, and that Christians do not obey it anymore, why do they always use it to defend homosexuality being an "abomination"?

My Pastor claims that the gift of tongues was only for use by the church until the bible was complete, and after the word of God was complete, tongues ceased to be a gift given by God. He says that any so called christian in today's last day church who speaks in tongue is either a carnal christian who has fallen away from the truth to indulge in the flesh, or is a demon possessed unbeliever who is being used by Satan to usher in the great falling away of the last days. I have a few friends who seem to be good Christians who speak in tongues, and I am therefor of two minds on the matter. What should I tell my pastor? I realize the scriptures seem to back him up, but is he taking the bible to literally and going to far?

As a guy I am extremely careful to do the business of breaking wind away from others.Human gas has an odor that isn't something I think people should intentionally share with others.It is nasty.It also is one of the top ten most disgusting sounds right after the sound of someone vomiting but is higher on that list then the sound of a burp.

Yet many guys, and even a few girls, think it is funny and cool and make it a point to break wind around others.Why do they do it?Are they just nasty?Did they never learn manners?Or do the just not have any class?

Usher's nose is like freakishly large and wide. He reminds me of Joe Camel. I don't understand why everyone likes him. His moves and dances are so choppy and sloppy. He is not as smooth as Omarion.

... why does it seem that most Christians believe differently?

Seballienism, or modalism, was rejected as heresy by the Ecumenical Councils. Why is it still taught so frequently in Christianity.

While the three are one essence, they are separate in all other ways. The Father is not the Son. The Son is not the Father. They are separate but equal.

What is the purpose of prayer? What can a finite being on Earth possibly tell an omnipotent, omniscient deity that he doesn't know already?

I am emphasizing the word "common" here, people.
I just want to know if you have recognized any interesting things about religions, languages, cultures that seem to have a common basis in principle, idea, structure, symbol, characters in persons or creatures, etc...

Go to http://www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=67 and see for yourself! If you are soooo sure that evolution exists (and not, that does not mean mutations... he is talking about proving evolution from apes) then why don't you go to him and take your evidence with you?? Could it be because there is none??
