I believe we have a lot of sexually frustrated priests here in the US and abroad. Many of Jesus' apostles were married, and I don't believe that Jesus preached that preachers in the church could not marry. The Catholic faith is a cult and not the true church as the Pope has recently annouced. Amazes me that there are so many blind followers of a church that has been plaqued by these nasty priests. How can they worship and not wonder who their priest is abusing. I'm sure there are many priest out there that have not been turned in to the authorities. I live in a small town in KS, and we have had two priests who were brought to trial in the last 10 years. How can any rational person believe that the Pope is a desendent of Jesus? He's just a man that has been given too much power. He is no more holy than you or I. I feel that their sick traditions need to come to an end.

So, I've had church people tell me that if I ever get raped that it's my fault! If I got raped then I must have been wearing something that attracted the man, it wasn't his fault that he was tempted, they said. Keep in mind I rarely even wear a dress, and am mostly found in a tank top and jeans or camo pants.
I was also told that wearing anything but a dress or long skirt is wrong and I would be damned; that along with cutting my hair short, because that showed that I had no respect for God or my father. I don't believe in God (sorry) and I sure have no respect for a man that abused me and tried twice to kill my mother!
Lastly I was told that I should be subservient to men, my father owned me until I was given to my husband--and the ownwership was just passed on to my husband!

Thankfully my fiance doesn't think any of this is right. We believe if God exists he doesn't damn you for appearance, rape is the attacker's fault, and men and women are equal.

What do you guys think?

I've tried looking it up but I can't seem to find it. I thought it was the first Council of Niceae. Another person's question has stated that someone proved to her that the Revelation of John was written in the 14th century which I know is absolutely incorrect because it was canonized before then.

Been looking up on certain religions (wont say which in case i offend) and some are just so far fetched in their beliefs that its almost as if they are a big, organised cult following ?
Anyone agree ?

many christians were quick to point out that he isn't a 'real christian' I was also told the same thing when priests do evil. It seems like anyone who does evil who is a christian isn't a 'real christian'!! Why is this? I thought all men are sinners? Also why do some christians go on about muslim extremists? They are not muslim? They are not real ones.....

Hello,
I'm speaking French and try to understand better the word "quite".

Does this word have several definitions like in the following sentence?

How to be a quite person?
or
Quite a lot of things.

Thanks,
Erik

I have, and I can verify that there most certainly atheists in foxholes -- and many more than you think, or care to accept.

They also served so that you could have the right to berate them with that kind of rhetorical nonsense.

1 Timothy 4:10
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

Especially of believers? What else is there?

My girlfriend gave that as an excuse for her disappearance from a party to which I had taken her. I think she "went behind the bushes," but it weren't with no alien!

Ezekiel 23:19-21 seems to be saying that Egyptian men have huge ... um... boy parts. Am I reading this wrong?

Any Egyptians here care to comment on the literal truth of the Bible?

(source)
"Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth."

I work in a big book store and sometimes see people in there in there socks looking at books and reading. I thought that it was a pretty good idea so I figured I would give it a try. Do you think I should just show up for work without any shoes on? Or do you think that would be unwise? It looks super comfortable.

I know its fiction, but the explosive theories and information presented by Dan appears to be very convincing, yet offensive to many devout Christians and Muslims.

Do you leave it as just fiction or does it make you stop and think, and think hard?

there is so much of it I just don't believe? I do not believe that we were created from Adam, I do not believe we lived to be 100's of years old and I do not believe the Book of Revelations as it has been proved to have been written in the 14th Century and is somebody's idea of a sick joke!!
I do however, believe that we go to heaven, that we should be kind and considerate to our fellow man and try to live a good Christian life. So does that mean I am not really a Christian as I don't go to church except for weddings and funerals? I do pray when the going gets tough though, so does that count?

Holy Bible suggests don't mend it, do end it.
Christ: is the end of the law (Romans 10:4).
Thereby Christ is the Saviour of the world.

I saw some Jack Chick tract (yes I know they're garbage) a while back, where some kid finds out there is no Santa and is so disillusioned that he grows up to be a serial killer. I remember hearing people say that if your children find out there isn't a Santa they'll be mad at you and think that you lied to them.
But seriously,
Don't most children figure it out on their own? I knew since I was eight that Santa wasn't real, but I pretended to believe for two more years to spare my parents feelings.
