I've heard people on here call it a theory a fact a hoax....bs...and numerous other things.

When other life is discovered in this vast universe and the life on that planet is vastly different from our own due to the "theory of evolution"...what will the religous right wingers in this country do then?

How did sex become so taboo? What about masturbation? It's a perfectly natural and normal thing. It's actually a very beautiful thing that our bodies have the ability to do. All animals do it. Why does christianutty make it out to be such a taboo thing?

"Eternity is a child playing checkers".



For at least 10 years I wondered about this and then suddenly it dawned. ~ : )



Can you love this child?
This child is very humble,
doesn't say much at all.
I was caught up in the game,
it was the veil then,
now it is enlightenment unfolding.
The child and I.........inseparable. ~ : )

how do you not believe that god is the source of evil, etc.

after all, if man is created in god's image and man is selfish, judgemental, etc, doesn't that automatically mean that god is too?

Jesus promised if you believes i Me you shall be saved and not see death. Those who are dead will be raised again, those who are still alive will lives forever. Don't believe ! Go and read all of Jesus' teaching and you will concurred unless you are blinded like the Pharisees who read the Word with their eyes still blinded because they are preaching Law and bondages.

Will a guy need to confess his sins for this?

In all seriousness, I know a guy (raised Catholic) who was forced to confess weekly for masturbating for shaking it twice in the bathroom as a youngin'. Is this crazy or what?

My first question was about homosexuality and someone pointed out to me that that was discriminatory. So, in the intrest of fairness, I ask this question. Do you think that it is better? Worse? Just another way of being a person? Again, please state your veiws in a respectful manner. I'm open to all opinions as long as you're not derogatory.

why do people care so much about what others think and what others say about them?? why care ?? is it because people are so insecure?? is it because people get offended ??? or is it because what is said about them is true and the truth hurts??? i have never expirenced this before because i really dont care what others think or say, im secure in myself as a person, and i know who i am, alot of my friends are like this, they care to much about people who are meaningless why?

Look, I go to the toilet and put the seat up, and after I finish I put it down, every day…for the rest of my life. My girlfriend goes there, and does her stuff and comes out. Why do I have to do all the hard work several times a day for the rest of my life?

Manners! What about mutual manners?

What about if I leave the seat down after I’ve finished and she leaves it up after she’s finished? Fair enough? Nooooooooo that is ill-mannered!

Well, I’ll tell you what. From now on I will put both the seat and the lid down so I can get some pleasure from her having to lift the lid up.

Manners or equality… Girls, please make your mind up.

Rant over

I have started an outreach program with the kids in a depressed area, and now it has grown so big I could no longer handle it with my limited resources. I now have about 160 kids attending our sunday afternoon activities and I have ran out of materials to use. Sometimes, when I have no money I am forced to skip a sunday and it really makes me feel awful. I really need help!

The sins of Sodom: arrogrant, inhospitable, coveted, idolatry and sexual sins (violent rape either with same sex or male/female). There were cultic fertility ceremonies done in the heathen temple with male prostitutes who used or substituted the body of another male and pretended that the male was a women in the sex act. This was not acceptable, and considered detestable. In 1 Cor 5:9, Paul is clarifying to the saints that he wrote and told them not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or coveteous or an idolater etc. not to even eat with one. He said he had nothing to do with judging the outsiders (non-saints) because God would judge them. The Church only deals with those in the Church. Then we are (1 Cor.6:18) to shun immorality and all sexual looseness because one commits sin against his own body. The body is the Lord's.

I don't think it will. Fundamentalism might decrease (though I don't think that'll ever be gone either) but I think religion will continue for the simple reason that people can't comprehend that there is no life after death. And then there's the emotional support that religion provides in an increasingly heartless and spiritless world which more and more people will acquire.

When Moses confronted the pharaoh, he turned his cane into a snake and the magicians that worked for the pharaoh also did this.

My question is were they able to do this all the time? I heard that the Devil helped them to do it and I was wondering if this was something that was just a one time occasion or if they practiced black arts on a regular basis to get their powers.

I always thought this part of the Bible was interesting when I was a kid because when I first heard about it, I just assumed that you can only bring stuff to life if you are using power from God. This story seems to say that the Devil has that power too, although it is not as strong as God's.

What do you think?

in 1995 only to be caught doing it again in 2006? Apparently former Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal's baptism records were found December 20, 2006. And former Main Nazi Adolf Hitler was baptized December 1993 and sealed to his parents March 1994. The chances of these two 'sharing the gospel' together seems uncomfortable at best.

Does this complete absence of shame and dignity disturb anyone, or is this best forgotten like polygamy?

Is the scripture a bit fuzzy on this subject or something?

I was told by several Christians that homosexuals are "born that way", that their same sex attractions are NOT a choice and that the only "choice" involved is whether homosexuals engage in same-sex intimacy (which would imply that they can't just "get rid of their feelings" since the attractions part of their nature).

I was THEN told by several other Christians that same-sex attraction is a sin, that we're all born sinful, but we can ask God to forgive us and allow us to repent (implying that same-sex attraction IS something you can get rid of, hence a choice).

Why is there so much confusion surrounding this issue? Who's right and who's wrong? Is same-sex attraction a choice or not!?
