I do believe that no where in the bible does God say, "I HATE HOMOSEXUALS."

But in Malachi 2:16, it specifically says "For God hates divorce."

So my question to the Christians who have waged a war against homosexuality, why is it that you do not wage a war against an abomination to your god that so many people within your belief system commit?

By the defense that homosexuality is against God and bad for society, shouldn't we outlaw divorce?

I am looking for a religion to live my life by. I've only given consideration to the BIG three: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. But have problems with all three. Can you shed some light on these problems:

Judaism-- seems a little too exclusive and stuck on heritage...i hear i have to jump through hoops to convert into the religion but had my mom been Jewish I'd be accepted w/out question. that sounds a little racist.

Christianity--I'm into monotheism, and the Trinity concept seems to go against that. As I understand it, God, Son (Jesus) and Holy Ghost are all God...just in three different forms? Christianity anthropomorphizes God too much for comfort.

Islam-is too strict. living happily in America almost seems impossibe if u want to be a good muslim. plus, Muslims are always under attack by the other two religions...i don't want to join a religion and feel i have to defend it...that went out with the Great Prophets...lol

First off, don't give me the "God can do anything" crap because the bible and the "prophecies" within were written by men, not God.

He gave you a brain, use it.

Now think about this. If someone can predict the future, that means that the future has already happened and is somehow sending messages back to the past. It really can't happen any other way.

But the big problem here is that this would mean that we have no free will. If the future is already written, then you have no control over what you do. And if that's the case, your sins were your destiny.


Wierd. Nuclear physicists grapple with the same argument. But most of you wouldn't know about that, would you?

It is obvious to me that people are getting bigger, but the seats on the bus are not. When a BIG rider gets on, it's as if there were an elephant in the middle of the room and everyone ignores it. Sometimes they take up 3 seats. Should I, or someone else say something to the obese or give advise?

It never fails. In a room full of managers, the uglies are always the ones trying to be funny and loud. The good looking ones are always calm and cool.

Are uglies always that starved for attention?

Apoligetics use the scientific method in an attempt to make you agnostic, like so,

Hypothesis: There is no God
Null Hypothesis: There may be a God
Design an experiment to prove that there is no God.

No need to harass me; The question was desciptive enough.

Of course!

Here is a major scientist who saw the light! Will you even see what he has to say?

He was the youngest child having three older brothers. He and his brothers were homeschooled on a farm in Virginia. He is married and has two daughters from a previous marriage. His parents were "only nominally Christian" and by graduate school he was an "obnoxious atheist." However, dealing with dying patients led him to question his religious views, and he investigated various faiths. He became a Christian after reading Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis, and he now delivers lectures at churches concerning Lewis. He considers scientific discoveries an "opportunity to worship". His book,The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief was published in July 2006.

Before the bible mankind believed in Zues, Medussa, etc.
which now society says no way that was true.
The bible says things like Lotts's wife turn to salt, walking across water, living in a whale.
Sounds mythical to me.
And the bible says if a man sleeps with another mans wife he & the woman shall be put to death. Why are we not following that command from the bible? Christian's seem to be very hypricrital. Way too many contridictions for me.

I say believe in God the way God tells YOU, and leave it at that.

God exists.
The core of His being is pure love.
He created our world.
He created us.
He desires to love us and give us everything.
He wants us to love him back.
He gave us freewill so we could love Him by our own choice.
We used that freedom to turn away from God.
He had a plan to allow those who wanted Him to have a way.
Every person who ends up with God in the end,
will be with Him because he choose to be.
All others will have whatever is left over when God completely withdraws Himself from them.
Happily ever after.
The end

If so, what type of animal was it? And how did you react?

As for me, I ran over a cat once that darted out from between two parked cars, and there was no chance of me stopping before I hit it, thus I felt horrible, and I stopped hoping it was only stunned, but after realizing that I killed it, I put it in the back of my van, then took it home and buried it in my back yard:(

If no, why not? If yes, should we also allow the Quran, Torah, Pentagons, etc.. to represent other religions? If the Govt would allow one religion to be represented, should they allow them all no matter how unpopular?
