Please do not think that I'm against homosexuality or downing it, I'm just interested in other people's views about it? And, no, I'm not gay, for anyone who wants to know.

Once a religion begins to establish forced control over others, or to make its teachings dogma that must be followed or punishment results, then that religion loses sight of true spiritual understanding. That is when it brings in the seeds of corruption. It replaces the need to promote true spiritual understanding with the desire to establish its superiority over others, which can lead to the ways of totalitarianism. Then politics, disunity, intrigue and even war become prevalent.
All true religions accept that God is the ultimate unifying principle, an omnipotent, supremelu spiritual being who has infinite intelligence and capabilities, abd from whom comes pure and unlimited love for one and all. He reciprocates with us to the degree to which we surrender or desire to understand Him. A religion which cannot offer such an understanding, or whose followers have perverted the philosophy, or who cannot apply it in their daily lives, is not a truly progressive or elevating religion. In such a case, it becomes necessary to get away from the church to get closer to God. after all, the church should not make itself more important than the true spiritual knowledge it should be promoting. In other words, when the process of worship outweighs the object of worship, or God, then you have already lost Him. Such a religion will not be spiritually successful and should be corrected or avoided.
What this means, as we head into the future, is that it will be most important for people to be spiritually knowledgeable and to think for themselves and recognize that forced dogma is not what true religion is about. We have already spent many centuries witnessing religions supressing and persecuting others and we should have learned our lesson by now. As spiritual beings, we all have an eternal relationship with the Supreme Spirit. No church or institution or its representatives can interfere with that. We do not have to participate in any religion that forces us to be subservient to a faulty creed or misleading or corrupt leaders. we must only serach out those individuals, pure devotees, who can assist us and gives us the spiritual knowledge by which we can understand and reach the Supreme Being ourselves, with or without any institution or organized religion. To become atheistic because of the failure of religions to present us God as He is is the sum total of all stupidity. God's doing very well , thank you. Whether you ackowledge, recognize, know this or not.

Does the gay and lesbian agenda hate Christianity and Islam ?

We are all sinners, as sin comes in all colors of the rainbow.

Christianty and Islam believe that homosexual activity is a sin, as well as many types of heterosexual behavior, so the question is does the gay and lesbian agenda hate Christianity and Islam because both religions do not condone homosexuality ?

seems they go out of their way to be respectful, which is nice. am i wrong?

People joke about the differences between men and women: Men don't listen. Women can't read maps. Men snore more. Women are less likely to have affairs.

But are men and women really different or are those statements myths?

It turns out that science says men and women are different.

These were some of their conclusions:

Women will always be two years ahead of men in age intellectually, men are better at directions, women do talk more, men have difficulty registering womens voices causing them to listen less, women have better memories, men take more risk, women pay attention to detail more, men think about sex more, women DO have adam's apples, men aren't better at math and science, men do cheat more, women are better at raising children, men do snore more.

What do you think of this? Does it change your opinion of male and female superiority? Do you think it's false science? Do you see facts?

I'm a 22 yr old single. I don't know many people in the area (near Dallas, Texas), and I'm trying to think of fun things that I can do on my own that does not cost a lot of money. I go to a predominantly woman's college, so the focus there is on education (where it should be) and not on entertainment, so there are not normally very many activities on or around campus. Any ideas?

From birth and being born under a lucky star to finding one's soul mate to the belief that one will die when "his number is up," life is filled with references to the power of fate and destiny. What are your views on that outside source guiding one's life?

The customers I deal with on a daily basis are extremely rude and hard to deal with. So many times I would like to chew them out for cussing at me and then hang up on them..Why are people so foul in life? Dont they have any other way to talk to people than to cuss scream and holler when they dont get their way? Dont they understand the more they curse they less likely they will get what it is they are seeking?
