We are human beings, right? If yes, then why we are not following humanity. We say that we are Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, Catholics etc etc. But why we do not say that we are human beings? OK, religions are at their own place, humanity do not disturb them, so why we cannot live like human beings? That's a different thing that we are the followers of different religions. I'm not saying to leave your religions, but why we do not follow the humanity. We hurt someone but we forget that we are too human beings and we can also get pain. which religion teaches that leave all of other human beings and just think about your own religion, and just do well with the people of you own religion. If you're agree with me then please spread this message to your neighbors, relatives, friends and to as much people as you can. I need your comments and a short answer that if we are human beings than why we are not living like human beings?

I was in a Joann Fabric store today, and all the Christmas merchandise was 50% off, and they were putting out Valentine day stuff. Too early?

Old testament stories are not to be taken literally sorry to tell you (I am a Catholic.) They are representations for lessons you should be learning by reading them. for example: JONAH AND THE WHALE I take from the story, If you stay strong and keep relying on God he will help you. Most catholics take from the story, wow how did that guy live in the whales stomach for so long? Think about that people. I want you opinions, not personal attacks towards me.

In addition to homophobia, I put up with racism, classism, and so many other problems. So why can't some wealthy, white GLBT people wake up and start supporting other causes, even those that don't directly affect their life?

In Genesis 6 it says the sons of god were allowed to take any human women they wanted as their wives.
Did the angels have sex with mortals?

I was at the skatepark and I was skateboarding and their was this little kid(looked to be myabe 9 or 10) and he was trying his hardest on his board, but than three people came in the skatepark (one of the guys looked to be in his 50's and the other two in their 20's)they werent skater, they were there just to laugh at people. So the kid who looks to be 9 or 10 is trying his hardest on mini ramp and kept falling and the three men kept laugh at him and while they were laughing the kid starting crying and went away. I told my mom about and she said the three men were mean,what woud you consider the three men who laughted at the kid who was trying his hardest?I would consider the kid has more guts to even go in the skatepark and skate, then sit their and laugh and hiding the fact that you dont have any guts to even try to skate.

I am 16 and attend church every sunday. I believe in god and jesus but sleep the whole hour through mass. It is so boring or at least the priests at my parish make it boring. The songs are written funny (i only sing during the christmas mass i like the xmas songs), i dont understand what the priest is talking about in the homily, and i dont feel as if i am in a holy place. Basically i think going to sunday mass is a waste because i dont leave with anything or feel any better about my bond with god after i leave. Does anyone else feel this way?

I have often asked myself that question. Like, what's wrong with believing in a Jesus who may or may not have been born of a Virgin mother? There are many other great things about Jesus too, aren’t there?

I'm not slamming Christians for what they believe.

I'm not going to hand out quotes or 'evidence'. All I'll say is that the Bible has, through the centuries/ millennia been expertly edited in different ways, to suit the beliefs of the editors. One of the big things that could have been edited was the Virgin Birth, as well as prophesies of it. I'm just saying, 'could have'.

More importantly, I'd like to know if Christianity and Christmas would be any different had there been no Virgin Birth. Thanks.

The old testament stories (creation, noahs ark, cain and able, etc.) did not occur the way they are described. Ex: When it says 'God made man from dirt,' the author of Genesis is trying to help the Jewish people of the time understand creation. We are to take the meanings from these stories and use them in our lives, not sit around and question how Jonah could have lived in the stomach of a big fish.

Okay, God is the creator of EVERYTHING. Everything that exists has to be the creation of God. Therefore, Evil is a creation of God.

I know i know i know, Satan created evil. But God created something that could create it. Satan could not create something that god has not created. If satan could have created this, that meens he has enough power to create something equally as powerful as god. A force the exact opposite as god. This defy's christain logic. Even in this odd sense, God created something that could surpass his ability's and create something he has never made before. And knowingly create evil.

This opens another paradox. Why would he create something that would create such evil, knowing that it would cause such harm. IT DOSNT MAKE SENSE!

God had to of created evil, because he is the creator of everything. Nothing can be created w/o his ability. Still dosnt make sense.
