This whole flap about cartoon Mohamed, with muslims making death threats and demonstrating in teh streets, and firebombing Danish Embassies.. I have seen Christianity insulted far more emphatically, and with more disresepct intended. (Piss Christ comes to mind, Jesusdressup.com, and countless other websites that intentionally insult Christianity..

I don't get it....

OK bear with me as I don't mean to offend anyone with this question, but I'm not good at putting my thoughts in to words.

I was wondering if you actually have to believe in the words of the bible without question to become a vicar/priest- I've seen a lot of church figureheads on the news recently disputing the stories in the book and offering their own interpretations relating to modern science.

I only ask because I try to lead a 'christian' life, that is as Jesus taught rather than what the modern and, in my opinion, corrupt, church dictates. I would like to therefore become a vicar without being affiliated with the church- is this possible?

Alternatively can I become a vicar through the church and then separate myself from it, whilst maintaining my role as a vicar?

Thanks for your help, please can I only have serious, open-minded and informed answers please- sorry once more if I have offended anyone as it was utterly unintentional (but good christians will forgive!)

We have a person in our office of about 30 people that became more feminine over the course of about three months. One day he came to work totally made up as a woman, asked to be referred to as "she" and feminized his/her name. Even though I work in San Francisco, I found this really weird. I have to interact with "her" on a daily basis (a very homely 53 year old man). The bottom line is I am afraid of saying something inappropriate and getting in trouble at work (nothing intentionally hurtful, just careless, maybe). Anyone out ther had a similar problem and maybe have some tips?

Do your believe the third temple in Jerusalem will be built during the tribulation period so the world dictator(antichrist)will go in there and proclaim himself to be God and to get the world to worship? Since the seven year peace covernent with many including Israel will start next year and go until 2013, the 31st of December by the EU, I believe the covernant with many including Israel will be the covernant so they can rebuild their temple, as the Jews are already preparing to rebuild, as they have everything ready to go. As soon as the little horrible dome of the rock is removed they can begin rebuilding, and I believe the antichrist will negotiate and the dome will be taken down and rebuilt in mecca or somewhere else. What do you think Christians, and Christians only, because if you are a non christians your comments will not matter to me as this is a christian question only, because non christians do not believe anyway. So Christians what do you think?
