so often i hear of christians purporting to have been miraculously healed by god! "if god hadn't made me get to the hospital in good time, i'd be dead (aka, in heaven)!" or, "thank god for the chemo and surgery, without it my cancer would have killed me (sent me to heaven)." or, "my loved one was clinically dead (in heaven) but thank god we could resucitate him and bring him back to life!"

does anyone else see the problem with christian logic? if you are going to heaven, why are you so happy that god kept you alive? i bet it's because you really don't believe there IS a heaven.

also, when will christians give the credit to the doctors who succede rather than god who didn't miraculously cure anything? if god works miracles, what's the need for the doctor? James 5:15

i have recently watched a show on the history channel that said that many other virgin births!! like myrr was a virgin who was the mother of a god!!!!
like this zeus , appolo ,stuff.
some say that jesus was here yes, a great man, a peace maker but only a man.
but i feel that yes god sent him or at least came into him at hsi baptism by john(the baptist).
i do know our king james says that in the last days a great falling away will come. many will change from the faith.
so many college kids dont believe in our bible.

create past to mess us up?

I'm gay and ever since I started to accept myself, I have become pretty bitter towards my religion. It makes me so angry that they believe homosexuality is an abomination of God and that It is something that is chosen and not something you are born with. Believe me, I know I was born with it. It seems like ever since I came to terms with who I am just about everything about my religion makes me bitter. Did anyone else have this problem, how did you handle it?

No? Then why do people think that abstaining from sex turns people into perverts?

Or is that just a stereotype perpetuated by sexually obsessed people?

.
If someone expressed that they were a ' minamalist ', what would that phrase mean to you ? What character, personality style, traits etc. would you think that person had ? I heard someone express that about themself and wondered.

For me perhaps it's a woman I am dating, especially if she's not of the same yoke.

What is it for you?

Peace.

The Catholic Church has basically the same percentage of pedophiles as any other organization that works with children, yet some people come up with lies such as:

"Why are there more Catholic priest pedophiles than Protestant ministers and Jewish rabbis, combined?"

Where do these lies come from? Are they malicious, or just stupid rumors spread by uneducated people?

An act of obedience.

The hijab is an act of obedience to Allah and to his prophet (pbuh), Allah says in the Qur'an: `It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His messenger have decreed a matter that they should have an option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, has indeed strayed in a plain error.' (S33:36).

Allah also said: 'And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc) and not to show off their adornment except what must (ordinarily) appear thereof, that they should draw their veils over their Juyubihinna.'(S24:31).

`Be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy or evil desire for adultery, etc) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner.' (S33:32)

That they dont believe in this day and age that people shouldnt use contraception . Let just say that people are going to stay single and not have sex how on earth can they justify telling people to have unprotected sex in this world that we live in that is just foolish and unethical . Agree or not ?

Idont have like any real friends in my church. Like friend where you would go to movies and hang out. Everyone klnows each other but not me they dont know I exist. Im so embarrassed and noone even tries to talk to me. Everyone sees me as the quiet person and they all ignore me. I like my church I've been tere since kindergarden and I like all the teachers. I dont have any friends there and its too late to make any cus I didnt talk to anyone and if all of a sudden I'm tryinmg tto be this fake person I'm not thepeople there would know I just want friends. I know you're suppose to go to church for god but its hard when you dont know anyone there and they all know each other. Everytime I go to church I feel more upset instead of happy. :( My parents always give me a whole lecture if I say I want to change churches they would be like you dont go to chruch to make friends and that it is bad to change churches.
