I was born in the beautiful Dominican Republic, but I live in the U.S. How about you?

I don't understand some peoples critisism about Christianity. I understand some are cocky, self righteous, crotchety hipicrits. But not all of us are? Will there ever be one to except us?

ok, I'll try to make this as short as possible! sometimes I think I'm just too nice (I don't like to hurt people's feelings). I broke up with my ex for many reasons. it was long distance, and she couldn't commit. She is a total closet-case who is ashamed of who she is. she's even still legally married to a man who's nothing more than a friend and roommate (another reason to end it). She lied to me about many things. she lies to family, friends, co-workers about herself. she's even so far in the closet, she won't even admit she's lesbian. she insisted I lie about myself to family & friends to protect her. I got sick of it. she even has this friend she met that took what little time she had with me away. and she still wants to be friends, and I don't want to. I'm in a great relationship now, and I don't need her trying to drive a wedge in it. I know she's lonely & has few friends, but I really just want to tell her to f**k off, but how do I do that tactfully say this?

For those people who are truly seeking God and salvation from damnation to hell, for those not trying to make fun of God, I have some legit websites. These are not porn sites, although that's mostly what you find today online.The first website is www.gotquestions.org. Questions people ask Biblical scholars at GotQuestions Ministries. The other websites are www.heinvites.org (stories about how people's lives were changed once they accepted Jesus), www.intouch.org (Charles Stanley Ministries), and www.rbc.org (RBC Ministries).

One other thing...to all those who deny God's existence and power, ponder on this concept. How can Someone still exist even after His greatest creation (human beings) denies Him? He can. He does. After all He's God! People can also say God hasn't proven Himself. Of course, the whole universe shows He exists! He doesn't have to prove anything to us anyway! HE IS GOD, AND WE WITH OUR LIMITED CAPACITIES FOR KNOWLEDGE CAN'T UNDERSTAND A BEING AS GREAT AS GOD!

They call you an idiot or a moron or a retard instead of keeping to the point and talking about the subject in an abstract non-personal way...why can't they control their emotions for a few minutes long enough to say something rational that is not abusive?

... or would it be better for him/her to accept their feelings and be happy,relationship-wise, while still believing in God? Basically, is it better for a God-believing gay person to make themselves miserable due to God's laws, or realize that their choice to be happy might be going against God? Is that what God would really want for them... to be miserable? The argument that they would not be miserable because they would be following God's way... sorry, that just doesn't cut it, imo. If a person is forcing themselves to do something against their own nature, it's NOT going to be a pleasant experience. Views, opinions, discussion?

Man was cast out of Eden in the story and forced to live elsewhere on Earth. What exactly was wrong with the rest of Earth that made that a punishment?

Why was it wrong? Did God just decide he was only going to make a small part of Earth perfect?

If there was nothing wrong with the rest of it then is it the nature of man that makes Earth imperfect?

If it is the nature of man that makes it imperfect then if we change our nature will we recreate Eden?

My most trying experience would probably be the loss of my daughter at 9 months pregnancy. It was a terrible loss but looking back I can honestly say it taught me much that I would not have thought to learn. I treasure every moment that I have with my two sons as I never thought to have them. I love all children more deeply and feel that I have a special person now praying for me.

How can people confuse christianity with catholicism when they are completely different. In catholicism they have a pope, in christianity they do not, because honoring someone as if they were better than you or "more holy" than you like God is erroneous. Also there are no nuns in christianity, who claim to be married to God, which you cannot be married to God. And then they practice idoltary by "honoring"/worshipping the statues of st.andrew, mary, and other people that are probably not in the bible like st. augustine. And they believe that you can have your sins forgiven by confessing to a priest. In christianity only God can forgive sins, you pray directly to him not to a mere man. All catholicism is erroneous to christianity. when the two get confused people will blame mostly christianity, just because they have an excuse due to the faults in catholicism - like the geocentric theory, yeah that was catholics not christians. Don't get it twisted! Oh, but you will so it doesn't matter.

I see people spelling "does" as "dose", "skool" for "school" and all types of other simple errors. Do they want to seem unintelligent? Granted, at least "dose" is a real word, so it wouldn't be caught by spellcheck. The rest of it is ridiculous, though. Does the uneducated situation of our youth ever scare you?

Anyone else think that the media has blown this Gibson thing out of proportion?? He was wrong in saying what he said, but he has apologized. Everyone knows that Jews run hollywood, are they still holding a grudge over "Passion of the Christ"?? If Jews werent in charge of this Coverage of Mel Gibson, why is in some cases this gossip news, getting more airtime than the war in Lebanon?? Is it all a Diversion? Do Jews think that Gossip can distract us from the real issue? Genocide.

Here's a link I found, its from when Gibson Made The Passion

Being agnostic, but also being someone who tries to practice the teachings of Christ, and given that they are so horribly twisted to fit political agendas these days, would an effective means of helping others return to the path be to minister? If I really disagree with what is happening within the organization, shouldn't I do something to change it? Shouldn't we all?

i do believe in god as a creator but definitely not any religions or after-life... so technically i'm not an athiest, but i'm looking for a place/group/community that can help me find a connection to my inner spirit and/or a spiritual connection to nature and life...

first rule if you're going to answer this question is:
KEEP THY RELIGION TO THYSELF!
i'm interested in athiest/non-religious answers only!
