God created us equal and s/he wants us to be happy right? So why would s/he be against homosexuals? It's not always their decision to be attracted to the same sex....some people are just born that way. And they're happy right? My friend is a lesbian and her girlfriend is what keeps her living and keeps her happy. Why should that be wrong? What makes it a sin? Your opinion on the matter?

People love their all-white depictions of Jesus. But looking into history shows he was likely dark skinned.

Also, to white Christians: Would you still be a Christian if all depictions of jesus showed him as an Arab?

I am Muslim and I am against abortion completely. I do believe in sex AFTER marriage, birth control and abortion only when doctors can not save both the lives of the mother and baby.

I notice that in America when an African American male is married to a white woman everyone is like, "O my God did you see, she is with a Black Guy." In Brazil, if a Black man is married to a white woman, it's no big deal. They are just a normal couple. Also, Americans are always trying to put a label on someone. For example, when one of my Brazilian friends who is Brown skinned talks to Americans, the Americans would ask if he is Mexican. He doesn't get offended because he knowns that Mexican people are hard working. Why is America so concerned with race??? Also, I have been discriminated because of my half Mexican background even though my father is Italian American.

I was just thinking...You all believe that Jeus was a prophet. And you believe that prophets speak the truth, also correct right? Jesus said he was God, so if He was a prophet and prophets speak the truth, why don't you believe Him?

And, Do any of you REALLY believe that Mohammed "fixed" the moon as he claimed?

Matthew 5:14-15)- Christ said that we are the light of the world, and that we should not hide our light but let it shine for all

Well Brothers the time has come we must Crusade, Europe has been over run with these pagan Muslims, they play on the lets be equal factor, and if you dont give in to their demands then your a racist

Well I tell you now, I am not here to please any Muslim, purpose on this earth is to prove yourself worthy to enter the kingdom of Heaven

Never forget as crusaders that is what we fight for the kingdom of heaven, we are the Army of God, Terrorism only work if your afriad.

Muslims think that were afriad to die, no as true servents of the lord we await that time, for our reward is not of this earth , our reward is in the kingdom of heaven. I fear no Muslim only God.

Before it to late unite knock these pagans back to Mecca then Crush them there

Praise be to God

Was banning gays from having legally protected relations by passing the defense of marriage amendments so important that it was worth stripping domestic violence protections from unmarried women? Or was that the intention all along?

I was thinking one night in bed about whether or not there is or isn't a god. It's nice to know that you're never alone, that someone is always looking down upon you from above, and that everything has a reason and a plan. But do we believe in god just for the comfort of this knowledge and because it’s how we are raised or is it something deeper? Some children are deprived from even the mention of a god. The option of that belief doesn't even cross their mind. What is your opinion about all this?

We all lie. Daily. We keep things quiet to not hurt others. At least 100 times a day we have thoughts we keep hidden from others, just because we think it might offend them or hurt them.

I will never tell the mother that her new-born baby looks like a melted E.T. Why would I tell her that? But not telling her if she asks me what her baby looks like, is a lie.

Did Jesus simply offend a lot of people in order to stay without sin?

I am putting this in a religious category for a reason. I was reading a book on Christian marriage and somewhere it says that you can seduce a guy with your hair.

How in the world can you do that???

Atheists are treated like freaks in the United States yet we're not the ones that believe there's an invisible person in the sky with super powers, that said invisible man created everything just because he was bored and need a way to stroke his ego, that humans have only been around for 7,000 years (all the fossils that prove evolution to be are fake), dinosaurs weren't real, and etc..... and those who believe in all that non-supported bulls*** are considered the social norm?

How exactly does this happen?

The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies! The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He pursues his foes into the darkness of night. (Nahum 1:2-8 NLT)
