Society & Culture - 27 September 2006

When I was in Catholic High School they said we could wait to get confirmed if we would like. I decided to. I had been baptized late and had my first comunion late (Both in 7th Grade). It was like every thing was all so recent. I waited until I had just finished College. It was a very good time for me. I had the energy to really focus on my faith. I was going through a very hard time in my life and it was very good for me to have that close connection with my religion.

I had a very good religion program in high school, so it was not like I was lacking religion while I was in school.

What do you think about timing of confirmation?

Has there one been found for homicidal mania, bestiality and thievery?

Anything learnt can be unlearned (brainwashing) if the person who wants.

NB: I do not think a prelidiction for same sex relationships is any worse than playing rugby. I would not have a rugby booze-up in my pub. They are too much trouble.

The Neocon tactic of demonizing all other view-points is taken straight out of the pages of the Inquisition. Why can't these hate filled, intolerant nuts accept diversity? Why do they want to destroy America? Wake up, people, before it's too late!

Here at Yahoo we kind of wear our religions on our sleeves....but what about in the real world? Have you ever thought about how many people we interact with every day without discussing religion? We seem to get along fine with no heated debate. Just think of how may times a Buddist talks with a Muslim, or even a Christian interacts with a Satanist. No one is none the wiser and life goes on...comments...

"the bible has been around alot longer than your stupid science books, first one around wins.
END OF DISCUSSION"


Seriously. I am highly skeptical that any of you can possibly see that level of stupidity and raise it a notch.


I hereby challenge each of you to post something that could possibly be more idiotic that this.

DO YOUR WORST!
Let's see what you got!

I have a Bible printed in 1588. It's the Protestant response to the first English translation by the Catholics. It shows the Rheims and Fulke translations side by side - reading it is like travelling back in time to the wars of religion that shaped western civilization. it was printed a generation before the King James translation was made, and when Shakespeare was still a struggling young playwright. The bad news is that it was re-bound in the 1800s, and the covers have come unattached. So the pages at the start and end are quite tatty. I love that book, but I need some money to buy some music, so I was wondering what my old Bible might be worth on eBay.

Democrats are running full speed ahead trying to convince everyone that they have deep Christian commitments. A recent poll indicated that of all Democrats who responded only 23% percent claimed to be Christian. Whereas, if I recall the figure correctly, 72% of Republicans claimed to be Christian.

Not trying to make any judgments about what this means in regard to which party is best able to govern. Just seems that Republicans don't feel a need to hide who they are. Whereas Democrats feel it important that people have a perception of them that seems not to be supported by the facts. If a Republican is or is not a person of Christian faith, say like it is. If a Democrat is or is not a person of Christian faith, likewise, just say it like it is.

"Bigotry, discrimination, hatred, violence and prejudice find no home in any religion worthy of the name. The Council of Bishops and Elders has made it clear that continued oppression of LGBT persons cannot be supported by any who hold sacred the central tenets of Christianity. We join them in calling on all followers of Christ Risen to oppose the false use of scripture and doctrine against LGBT persons."- from the lutheran religious leader from the national religious leaders roundtable

http://www.thetaskforce.org/media/release.cfm?releaseID=978

On the national gay and lesbian taskforce.. they have an article on the bishop and elders council to end discrimination of lgbt.

They list 5 ways to end discrimination towards all lgbt.Pretty much you can't call yourself a christian if you hate and discriminate because it's against christianty to behave that way.
They said it's a slow process but one day all lgbt won't be opressed anymore.

And I didnt find one question from a Christian regarding the subject of Evolution.

Why is it that you complain about Atheists being in this section when we "know nothing about it", yet you pose poorly thought out questions regarding evolution in the R&S section?

Why not ask a question about evolution in the appropriate place, such as a science section??

Do you fear the responses you will receive, the amount of laughter thrown your way when others outside of your religious views read your silly little rantings about not being related to monkeys?

Or do you only ask in this section knowing that others that hold similar beleifs will agree with you, thus providing you with the personal validation that your fragile psyche needs??

I'm feeling the love from the non-believers who have missed me, but I'm feeling very neglected by the believers. I feel so depressed over it.

In Islam, Satan blew on this Prophet's face whereby his face broke out in scabies and turned him in to a leper.

This was directed to that person, I was still typing when it got removed, respond if you want, but not looking for answsers, just know ur not alone
I understand where you're coming from. I asked a similar question recently, and it was taken as an attack and several thought that I was forcing my religion on them just by asking the question. I am with you, I have seen many questions saying things like if you believe in evolution, then why are their still christians. As a christian, how else am I supposed to take that other than as an offense?
I think science is gr8, but something had to start all of it, and I prefer to believe it was God instead of some big bang. who knows, maybe God even made the big bang?!
Why is it that we are expected to sit back and take their beleifs without being given a chance to defend ourselves in return? We as christians do need to watch how we respond. I am guilty of answering out of anger myself. Not right but Its a nartural defense mechanim-good luck

I am a true believer. I've been saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. I implore all christians not to waste their time casting their jewels of knowledge to swine. I know we all are required to go out and witness, but let's not waste our wisdom on those who mock us and continually refuse to let God's word into their hearts. Let us all pray for their hardened hearts so that their soul may be saved.
