I've seen a lot of chrstian rock bands that have "tats". So, my question is, does it specifically state that you shouldn't get a tattoo? Or is that just christians overexplaining the "keep your body pure and holy"? I mean, does it actually say that you can't paint your body? I know some christians, exspecially in my church, like to take verses and make them more than they are.

I was recently reading about the part of the bible where it says that a womans hair is her glory..thats cool I have extremely long hair!! woo!
But I also noticed some other things about stoning women who didnt bleed on their wedding nights to death! because they were believed to not be virigins..and a few others saying somthing like no one of illegitimate birth may enter the congregation of the lord. Now,That counts me out..and my daughter. I also saw one saying woman werent allowed to speak in church!!You can say "oh that was written for THAT time period" but why are we able to pick and choose which ones...we ignore like that. if you really live by the bible then shouldnt you follow everything it says? I only ask this cuz I'm confused..not to start arguments. so the bible changes with the times...but was that REALLY gods word to stone people to death or that people born to parents who arent married arent allowed in his church? once again no disrespect intended!

After ranting about child abuse in church-affiliated state custody facilities, FindLaw commentator Marci Hamilton states:

...churches' bids for complete autonomy, and even for liability waivers, should be denied, and they should be held liable for civil damages, and face criminal penalties, when they were aware of child abuse and did not address it. The Massachusetts' House vote this week to require clergy to report child abuse, which was already required of therapists, teachers, and social workers, is a step in the right direction.

The fact that the churches are accepting public money only adds additional government leverage. For instance, public funds should be automatically cut off as soon as credible complaints are brought. And accessible, fast-moving administrative procedures run by the government, not the church, should be made available whenever it is alleged that children are being harmed.

You Athiest's claim that Christians are pushing the Bible down your throats, Well..Think about this.
You take prayer out of School and we are supposed to accept it.
You take the Ten Commandments from public Buildings and we are supposed to accept it.
You want to take "Under God" from the pledge of allegiance and we are supposed to accept it
You want to take "In God we trust" off all currency and we are supposed to accept it.
You want to ban the Bible with H.R. 4200 (hate crimes legislation) and classify it hate literature and we are supposed to accept it.
You arrest Christians on the Streets of Philadeplhia of practicing our right of free speech (Oct 10th 2004) and we are supposed to accept it (for a video of that see. www.repentamerica.org)
You force our Children to attend secular public schools when we cannot afford to home school or send them to private schools and we are supposed to accept it.
So.. who's pushing what down whose throats? I can go on, I have more.

I was told today that at 31, I am "far removed from the college scene." Do you think that 31 is THAT out of touch?!? :) How old are you, and what do you think is too old to relate to the college scene?
(BTW: My husband is 7 years younger than I am, and I recently taught on the university level.... Does that make me super old? Ha-ha.)

For once I would like for everyone to stop watching the news and open their minds to research and reading. You r all educated pple,,,,read the Quran, Bible, Torah (all three books) before you decide you hate either. They are all messages from God...and then show me one religion that does NOT have extremists...we dont need to divide this world into different religions, we need to divide this world between the believers and the terrorists (who are not only Muslims but anyone who kills an innocent is considered a terrorist...whether he/she is a rapist, kidnapper...so on).

Does anyone have the guts to study all instead of believing what CNN shows???

The Bible says in Genesis that God gave us the stars and stuff "for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. . . " ( don't answer w/ i don't know if the Bible says that b/c I'm telling you it does). So what is that if not horoscopes? I'm a Christian and am just wondering.
It says separately seasons, days and years, so those can't be the signs? What are the signs then?

Where were these siblings & everyone else for that matter when he was being tortured & beaten? If someone was approaching my sister to beat her ...they'd have to go through me. Why did NOBODY protect him, I would think it human nature to help.
