I'm wondering what this attitude is about, and if the people stating it have ever met and spoken with an atheist, or if it's some insidious part of (some) religious conditioning...

Or is this a knee-jerk, fear based reaction to someone with no religious beliefs?

In my question about homosexuality I mentioned that I am divorced and remarried and in the Bible that too is a sin. It seems there are loop holes for divorce but not homosexuality. . .why is that? Is it because more Christians are divorced than gay. . so we have learned to accept what we need to . . .so that we are comfortable with our own sins?

I don't mean the holy spirit, or when your roof creaks at night. Something that you definitely saw or heard, such as a recently deceased relative..

So, I've always been naturally attracted to guys without even thinking about it. I've had a terrible time with guys including abuse (yes, I'm seeing a therapist), and now I feel like I like girls better. I have to remind myself to be attracted to girls, it's not a natural thing, but I've always been curious and am not sure if I'd like to be with a girl. I've been wondering lately if I'm a lesbian, yet I still keep going out with guys and am thinking, but if I think I'm a lesbian why do I keep going on with guys? Could this just be a phase of being sick of the ways guys have treated me? Has anyone else gone through this? Please help.

Such as fast, or not eat meat on certain days or times or not mix milk and meat?

Things that have been proven to be nutritious and provide vital nutrients that a human bieng needs are said to be denied in the old testament, new testament and koran.

If god really understood our bodies and thier workings (as he must if he actually created a human) then why would he do what would be the equivalent of putting mineral oil in a gas tank and expecting the car to run?

doesn't it seem more logical that whoever wrote those laws, rules, guidelines had no knowledge of the workings of the human body at that time?

So either:

1- god is evil and not benevolent OR

2- the religious background, traditions and bible was written by men.

Lots of people have thoughts about this, but isn't it arrogant to think that your version is better than everyone else's? Won't we all find out eventually?

I say that the afterlife, if it exists, is a concern for the dead, not the living.

Agree or no?

Malcolm McLaren, has he something to do with rock music? will state on a reality type show based in Scotland. " The Baron" will be sown on ITV1 later this month. On the show he states that "God is a sausage!" Does anyone out there think God is a strange object?

I'm talking about a twin by different parents. Out of the 4 billion inhabitants on the earth, I met mine a couple days ago. I was at a party and a friend introduced me to a friend of hers. The guy is a fashion designer; very creative. At any rate, we exchanged numbers and as we were talking last night, birthdays came up. As it turned out, we were both born on the same day of the same year within 5 minutes of each other!

Have you ever met someone, out of the blue, that was born on the same day/year as you?

Mormon is just a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. How can someone say we aren't Christians if we have Jesus Christ in our church's name?

This statement is idiotic and helps no one. Why do the Romans think that they have the monoploy on a Church that spread from Jerusalem...

The Church Universial is made up of all people who accept Christ as their savior, worship Him, and try to advance His kingdom through loving God and loving man.

If there was once apolostoc succession, the church in Rome hijacked it a long time ago.

You believe in the primacy of the Roman Bishops (popes)? Look up the word 'nepotisim'...

The Roman Catholics just lost me as an ally with this noise...

Opinions? I am interested in hearing from those of other faiths or no faiths, does this in-fighting make Christians look more stupid (or can anything?)

I just came to the realization that I spend at least 40 hours a week here in R+S, most of which required some thought about religion.

Think that's a bit too much?

It has at least given us some variety here at R&S. All these questions about Benedict's recent comments mean that the anti-Catholics have at least temporarily dropped the "Why do Catholics worship Mary" nonsense.

Shall we enjoy it while it lasts? Because Mary and the saints will be fodder here at R&S again soon me thinks.
