And the one common trait being that the religions sell salvation. What I mean is that religious leaders insist that this Earth life sucks, but instead of trying to make it better we should just become a member of the religion so we can have a nice afterlife.

I myself do. Why? because many things has happened, and i pretty much noticed it's been generations since people claims to have seen ghosts. So how about you? And what's your experience with ghosts? That is if you believe them.

I first would like to note that if you find the following question offensive please make a note of your distaste elsewhere. Why does Christianity preach forgiveness and love for your fellow humans while condemning non-believers and other "sinners" to and eternity in hell?

I'm beginning to think that, while religion may seem like the reason for the strife there, the real reason has deeper, social/economic roots. Anyone else agree, or have anything to back up my hunch?

I've read that the James ossuary, although dated to around the 1st century, contains a superfluous, added-on text reading:"brother of Jesus."

Despite the fact that the text was added on, wasn't the ossuary proof that Jesus's brother existed, and by proxy, Jesus himself?

From the first glance on the outside it would be just like church (people gathering), however, there would be distinct differences such as; No infused religion, hoops, policies and proceedures to follow, no pressure of giving 10% of money becuase you may already behind on bills and necessities and so forth. No one telling you suck and that you are a SINNER and unless you follow the prescribed and predetermined route of B-L-A-N-K denomination you will end up if hell.

Just a sincere "Come as you are How you are"! Would anyone else besides me considering doing this?

See, while I do not attend church (Of Any Kind) for reasons not important to this question; As a human being, I do miss the fellowship, gathering and meeting of people on a level that has no agenda. Just hanging out, perhaps drinking a cup of coffee, letting family and kids mix with one another and building a support system all the while having fun.

Bottom Line - It is church with religion; Would You Go?

Hey everyone. Ok, I'm 14 yrs old and a freshmen in high school. This question has two parts to it.
I'm trying to "find myself". BTW I'm NOT gay. I just feel confused half of me thinks homosexuality is wrong, my religion tells me its wrong and its a sin, half of me feels that two guys being involved both sexually and emotionally is wrong. But the other half of me tells me that being gay is not a choice, some people are born straight while others are born gay its really not their faults. I'm soo confused!!! Are gay people really immoral or are they just being true to themselves???
Here's the second part to my question:
I'm thinking of starting a GSA club at my high school. I go to Garland High School in Texas but I'm afraid people might think I'm a lesbian. What got me thinking of starting this club was I was at my Journalism class and my teacher was telling us about how some people were trying to start one a few years back but it didn't work out and this guy who sits across from

I just read a question posted by Searcher and part of it stated: "This makes the Wiccans/Pagans/Agnostics/Buddi... look like the intelligent, loving people instead of the Christians." Of course, people got all in a huff about it because SOMEHOW that quoted statement means that Wiccans and Agnostics are not loving. She never said that. Quit jumping to conclusions, please! Do you think everyone's out to get you or something? Stop twisting words around. How can you be smart enough to operate a computer and somehow not be smart enough to read and understand the question being asked?

How many of you regret your answers? I am truly sorry for my sarcasm. Sarcasm in the greek means cutting at the skin. So if I cut or hurt you in any way, I apologize.
Some people are just mean spirited.

just because you do not believe in God it doesn't mean that people who do are wrong or stupid, its just that their views differ, why try and change them, it does no harm to you or anyone else.

And before you start berating me for being some sort of religious nut, i'm not, im actually an atheist.
