I understand how the pink triangle and the rainbow flag became associated with gays, but not the history of the letter lambda.

How did that come to symbolise gay people?

Which religion is more about peace and not supremecy. Don't say christianity, because they are believed to have dominion over the beasts of the earth. So that alone is supremecy. But go out in the woods, come across a bear, and then tell me who is more supreme? Or get but by a tick, and tell me who is more supreme?

From a religious and humanistic point of view, isn't doubt better than certitude, reason better than faith, rebellion better than subservience?

Isn't freedom, justice and free thought what Satan embodies?

From what I was lead to learn, christians are the correct ones. But it seems that jehovas witness' have it most correctly. And I know that christians consider catholics untrue. But I could be wrong. Jehovas witness' walk the path of his disciples.

Is it ok? Not ok? And what about for girls? Female masturbation is not mentioned in the Bible, but I don't know about other texts...

Best wishes to all of you, whatever religion x

Mormons believe that all righteous Mormon men can eventually become Gods (and their wives, goddesses). They believe that Jesus Christ is a created being and our older spiritual brother. They believe that the garden of Eden is in Missouri, and they believe that God was once a man, raised to Godhead by another God. They wear 'holy undergarments' to provide themselves with a form of spiritual protection. And these are only a few of their very controversial beliefs and practises.

But they see themselves as a mainline Christian denomination and reject the 'cult' label.

What do you think? Are Mormons Christians? Why or why not?

It seems that The Bible becomes less and less relevant the more we think about it and don't just take it 'as gospel'.
The oppression of women is one example where religion has been put straight in recent generations.
Nearly all Christians have already accepted that homosexuals shouldn't necessarily be put to death - although most still think it's a sin.
Many Christians have also had the sense to accept that the Bible may have got it wrong in proclaiming that the earth is just 6,000 years old.
And the creation of the world in seven days is seen by some as maybe just 'figuritively speaking' - perhaps it was a bit longer.
So it seems the more we think rationally about the Bible, the less pertinent it becomes.
If we take away all the irrelevant stuff, we are basically left with, "Be nice people. Amen."

Hardly need religion or the Bible for that, do we?

Is it the act of dying a slow and painful death? Or is it just the thought of being dead that freaks you out?

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry, candied yams and more covered in gravy? It's insane! I think it's got to take the cake over the religious holidays in December. They're fun, but the stress of that season makes it not worth it. Thanksgiving is just gluttonous fun for the whole family!

Please real answers only, not foolish ones. the following are a list of things to think about and answer.

1. How do you really know that you can be, or have been reincarnated into multiple lives with real solid proof?

2. The idea of reincarnation is now being challenged by some contemporary Hindu scholars on the following grounds: first there is the problem of evaluating good karma. If a being could belong to all categories of life and nonlife, how could one attribute good carmic behavior to impersonal creatures?

3. Some have commented that due to the deteriorating moral lifestyle of our present generation very few humans would be born again into a human birth. Animals and granite slabs have no basis to live a moral life anyway, and they cannot therefore aspire to become humans. How is it, then, that we have this huge population explosion?

4. What now keeps you from beveliving the truth of the Holy Bible about how a man is subject to die once then comes the judgement?

What religion do you practice and why? What are the main beliefs of your religion? Convince me why your religion or set of beliefs should be my religion. Most persuasive and informative answer will get the points, so no stupid answers!

Do you ever wonder about certain things??? Like did they make up the whole story about Mary being a virgin? But I wanted to know if anyone ever wonders about death and dying??? I always imagine myself in different scenarios and imagine the dying and how I would feel?? Does anyone relate to this? I know it sounds creepy, but its true.
