Also, is a Harvard educated Dr. of Paleontology really a stupid man, or is he just deeply deceived. You know, by fake dinosaurs.

Doesn't the bible say a camel can more easily pass through the eye of a needle, than a rich man can enter heaven? Why is one part of the bible deemed so important, and another is so often ignored?

why do some christians support the death of homosexuals when "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself". And why do they feel they have the right to bash other people. Only God is allowed to judge others. And they have no right to judge others sins when they sin themselves. And dont tell me they haven't ever sinned before because everybody has.

Not too long ago, HR made me go through some sensitivity training; it wasn't too bad so now I'm trying my best to be a bit more sensitive of others.

Anyway, as this is fresh on my mind, I approached a black female co-worker to apologize about all the white people's crimes, like slavery, discrimination, etc... But she kind of just looked at me weird as if I were balancing a Buick on top of my d*ck.

Later, I felt mad about it and I thought about contacting HR and getting her fired. Its like I went through that training for nothing. I went back and called her racially insensitive to me and all my white ancestors, and she just busted out laughing, further humiliating me.

My question is, should I pass out flyers in everyones office mailbox that she's a racist? I also have a bit of dirt on her, I feel she doesn't dress appropriately enough for work, and I think its very offensive!

I was saddened by this link, and I want to see what other YA members think of it. I felt like these lives (besides those of our own people which I know are important), are not important to many people, are they to you?

You're supposed to speed up to the 6th minute, don't bother with whats before, then just watch it for 3 minutes. Come back and tell me how it made you feel. I would really like to know.

Have fun.

If they are a different faith than yours, have they changed your perception of that faith?

I'll say that I've been immensely impressed with some fine persons of faith, especially Serafim, Super Bobo, Ramjet, Southernmale42, and Pangel. They exemplify what true Christianity is. Also, I just love Bobby Bonsai, he just cracks me up!

self-love,
outsmarting each other with wickedness and treachery,
cheating with others spouses,
homosexuality,
rejecting the Almighty,
flesh parade in the name of fashion,

isn't the answer to surrender to the Will and Word of the Father and put the breaths of our life to use, no matter how worthless we consider ourselves?

I dont believe in god, I'll never be able to say he or she doesn't exist because you can't prove a negative, but I can't bring myself to believe in god. Just like I can't believe in the tooth fairy or santa clause. But I don't want to die and am fearful of what occurs after death. But I have no idea if what happens is heaven/hell.

Everyone who's told me I'm going to hell or going to heaven has never been there him/herself so how can I how much countenance can I really give their opinion since they have no special knowledge on this issue since you cant die and come back (unless you're a character in a book that may or may not have been held intact over multiple thousands of years).

So what do I do? Just believe out of fear of hell? Thats not true belief. Belief just for the sake of it is fine if there is only one god, but what if there are multiple gods as there are so many different interpretations of religion? What if I dont pick the right one?

Some of my family members such as my sister don't understand why, they just see things as well if it happens it happens and they offer no support other than negative advice that doesn't help me or the kids much in our situation. My sister and her husband have gone through a lot of cheating issues and they seem to be a happy family with their newborn baby and me who has been nothing but faithful to my husband and going through a divorce and I find no one better than God to help me through this terrible time in my life. Why can't people understand this?

The following is an article that takes religion out of the gay marriage argument and makes it rather secular in an attempt to take out all the moral issues that gay marriage brings up and just tries to show how it will impact society. I am personally a supporter of gay marriage, and I was wondeirng how others would respond aganist this article?

I'm a Christian and I think (and this is JUST a guess) there is life on other planets.

The Bible clearly states that the only way to avoid Hell is to be a Christian. In order for people to be forgiven for their sins they have to accept the sacrifice of Jesus. In other words, without his death AND the acceptance of him as your savior, you don't get in.

I believe that God and Jesus are one, yet seperate entities. If there are people out there on other planets then God would have had to send himself as a sacrifice in order for him to forgive the aliens. He might not have manifested himself as the savior we know (he might be very different on some planets) but I believe on every planet where there is original sin this must be done every time. How else could the aliens be forgiven unless there was a sacrifice?

What do you think?

Someone here said in an answer tonight, "According to traditional Catholicism, the Pope is never wrong."

WHERE DO THEY GET THIS STUFF?

You are on the World Wide Web! It's easy enough to look up a good Catholic site and read the truth for yourself. A few clicks of the mouse and you'd know what the Church REALLY teaches.

Then, you'd be able to answer a question and sound semi-intelligent. Now many of the anti-Catholics here are just repeating misconceptions they've heard from someone else, who is most likely uninformed or just hate-filled.

Look it up, read the truth and THEN we might even take you seriously.
