"I agree. It is time to speak out. Tithing has become a fundraiser like indulgences were in the days of Martin Luther." http://www.tekoapublishing.com/books/tithing/index.html
"Historians usually agree that, not until A.D. 567, five hundred and thirty seven (537) years after Calvary, did the Church’s first substantial attempt to enforce tithing under its own authority appear in history! The Council of Tours in 567 and the Council of Macon in 585 enacted regional church decrees for tithing and excommunication of non-tithers, but did not receive authority from the king to enforce collection through civil decrees. It is significant that tithing did not emerge historically until the church became powerful in the secular realm. Eventually, the Roman Church even refused to administer last rites if it was not given wealth or land in wills."

If so, how, what happened? How did you deal with it? And do you still feel your discriminated against by it? Do you feel that you don't really belong to a particular culture?

To clearify, like if your hispanic, but hispanic people have never accepted you. Or if your black, or white, and you haven't been accepted by your race.

Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birth of Christ, assuming He was born on or around the 25th of December, but we don't hear much of that and hear a lot about Santa Claus, and further about gifts. Do you think it's Satan's work?

Non-believers If you were given the chance & they listened with an open mind what is one thing you think is most important for them to know? this can be anything but only one item

Also if you believers had the chance what is one thing you would want us to believe, I already know the answer you will probably all give.So please some variety would be nice

and remember this is obviously a hypothetical question, so there is no point in being a jack a**

if he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? Emotions are reactionary, how can God react to us if he is all-knowing and has a divine plan?

I don't think so, and I'm not trying to be Prejudice. There is no way that if I met any of you I'd be an ****** to you becasue your gay. I don't disrespect people until they show me they aren't worth my respect. So in my book Ya'll cool wit me...... and I'm asking questions? Granted some are stupid but sometimes Gay people seem as far away as planet Mars or something. It's a trip.


So don't assume that because I don't word a question to your liking that hate, or I support bigotry. I don't hate none of ya'll I'm just chillen.


I got my own faults like anyone else I'm not perfect.
H2 I'm out.............peace.

It cant be because their fathers want them to become doctors/lawyers etc because a lot of them dont follow what their parents say anymore, hence the asian drug dealers that are rife where I live.
