are actually MORE accepting of me and my christian beliefs than some of my fellow christians? i'm talking about christians who are of different denominations who narrow-mindedly see things they way THEY want to see them....and can't see things from other people's perspectives at all.

to some atheists, i guess it's no big deal since they aren't religious, so they don't care...but there are actually some christians out there who believe in the same God as me who judge me even more, just because i may not see things exactly the way they do

anyone else feel this way sometimes? people can be pretty close-minded.

For all of you Christians who were so dishonest the first time I asked the question:

"If a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you." -- Leviticus 20:14

"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." -- Leviticus 21:9

"Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt." -- Genesis 38:24

According to Hebrews 2:14 Satan the Devil has the means to cause death. How does he do this and to what extent?

Okay, this is just a question, and my opinion, so please don't get angry with me. I believe in God, and don't want to upset Him, but there's something about Christianity that I need to ask. I don't really consider myself a Christian though.

I really really like Elton John, I have for quite a while. I get criticized alot for it by my dad. He goes on about Elton being gay. Is it wrong for me to like Elton? My dad annoys me a bit because is isn't perfect, but he's constantly going on "Elton John is gay." "Homosexuality is an abomination." (He loves the word abomination.)

It upsets me. Even though Elton John says alot of things that I don't agree with I still like him, and even care about him. Its almost as if we're family. But I get criticized. My dad acts as if I'm gay. (I'm a girl by the way.)

Do you think its right for a "christian to act like their better than others? I don't think I'm any better than Elton John is.

So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.... And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child.... And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth....

if the bible tells them what they can or cannot do, wouldnt we have to talk about christian law instead of christian morals???

Atheists are always being mean to us Christians. Is it only cuz of our beliefs? Because we did nothing to them. Just because we dont believe the same stuff as they do, that gives them no right to be mean or treat us differently. So atheists please answer (and Christians, you can answer too)
