I was just curious as to what both sides of the issue think. Both sides being: The Pro Modification and Con Modification.

I see totally faithful christians getting tats and peircings, and think it is just so great to see that they're not so conservative. That they're being about a new face to the modern Christian.

Then, I see how some people look down on it, both christians and secular. Mainly because you're supposed remain as you were made, we are temples. I also think it causes confusion among the "worldly" people, for that very same reason. I guess it makes it easier for them to come against our religion.

I'm asking because I'm looking into getting some tats myself.

Namely, should they be allowed to check a box on their tax forms that reads something like "check here if you do not want your tax dollars applied to religious organizations, religious education, religious symbols on government lands, and government funded religious programs"?

Wouldn't it be reasonable to allow Americans the right to refuse to pay for something they don't believe in?

Since the latest research strongly indicates that psychopathy is basically due to serotonin and dopamine imballances, that homosexuality and transsexuality are rooted in structural differences in the hypothalamus, and that even pedophilia is a biologically based mental disorder, what does that say about our willingness to punish rather than rehabilitate?

I've seen a lot of trolls post really funny things...I'm all in favor that. But some of the things that get posted around here are NOT funny, they are deeply hurtful.
Like someone earlier saying that people who can't procreate shouldn't be allowed to marry. As a woman unable to have children due to being abused as a small child, that really hurts.

Please be more careful about the 'jokes' you post.

Why do people post rubbish like that and find it funny?

At my work place i'm often the only visable minority , im mixed black /white, some people enjoy telling black jokes or black stereotypes and either directing it towards me or saying something racial not knowing i can hear it. They've made jokes about my skin colour, stealing, jokes that are sexual and deal with race, taste in music, hair, crime, and so on. Sometimes it just bothers me, would these white people get upset if i told them degrading racist jokes directed towards white people? If im just being sensitive and its all in fun they why are they not telling racist white jokes? sometimes when they say things it can ignite early memorys of childhood racism, i live in a small city and would be the only minority kid in a class room at school. Im considering moving to a bigger urban center thats multicultural and not unicultural, my friends are all different races and cultures, im into different sub cultures, food, people, religion. racist jokes ok?,

Ok, what Mike Vick did was pretty bad. Dog fighting isn't cool especially if the animals get hurt and die from their injuries or from being killed by people. But for crying out loud we Americas are so caught up with the wrong sh!t it sickens me. It makes me sick when we STAND UP & FIGHT for a dog & do nothing about domestic violence, child cruelty, homelessness, the lack of attention to children at Dept of Children’s Services, Child Prostitution, New Orleans not being built back, minimum wage at the ridiculous rate, ABORTIONS/people killing babies? HELLO? I say 4Q to all the people protesting and hating on Vick. I see so many comments about how people mad about his endorsements and they WANT THEM PULLED & FOR HIM TO NEVER PLAY AGAIN. WOW, Unforgiving Christian Americans! Only u should be forgiven for wrongs right? Dick Cheney almost killed a man, TRYING TO KILL an ANIMAL! But it was all cool? Nobody protested that! So please, let us support better causes B4 we Hang VicK over a dog!

B.A.'s believe in the bible and Catholics do as well. Both will quote Revelations saying "don't add or take away from this book" but one uses the traditional King James version while the other uses the apocrypha so doesn't that therefore proof that the point of the scripture in Revelations is just meant for the book of Revelations and not the entire bible

I posted this as an answer to someone else's question, but I thought I'd ask it here, since I'd like an answer. I really want to know if I'm wrong. Thanks! :)

Religion, even the word, makes my skin crawl and my hair stand on end. The war is on between so called good and so called evil and everyone's taking sides. This can only lead to one thing. One thing that they all want- the end of the world. Well, the way I see it, if you want peace, stay out of the battle. If you want war, take sides and get bloody. All I can say, is religion's not my idea of positive thinking. It's mass hypnosis and it's dangerous.

On CNN's 'God's Christian Warriors' tonight, it was stated that moderates are now the target of these extremists. Moderates are just here- we don't take sides, we don't get bloody, we keep our mouths shut and stay out of the battle. Well they want warriors! How can there be armageddon without EVERYONE involved?

I want peace. U?

Ok I have a lot of questions. Please answer truthfully and seriously.

1. I sometimes find it hard to believe. I mean I go to a Christian school and I got to church and I say I believe but I have doubts. People have told me that its normal to have doubts but I’m scared God will send me to hell for questioning him. Am I being paranoid?

2. I totally believe in abstinence until I’m married but how do I tame my sexual desires? A preacher once said that God will fulfill our needs and desires but does that mean masturbation is wrong?

3. God doesn’t want us to sin. But where do you draw the line? Is cursing a sin? What about the occasional drink or smoke? Is having a crush on someone that you can not have a sin?

HELP!!!!

Im actually being serious. think about it

1)both could be altered at any time by anyone
2)we have no proof that either is telling the truth
3)they could both be biased

for all we know. both could be full of lies or they could be made up so how is the bible anymore credible than wikipedia?

I was born into a a Catholic home, and went to a convent.

The Mass (at that time, was in Latin), I could not understand a word. The nuns made me so scared of God that I only prayed to Mary. I alswys get the giggles when I am nervous, ever time I HAD to go to confession, which was every Friday, I used to giggle through the whole procedure and spend ages 'saying penance'.

I spent three hours on my knees on Good Friday, or it was a 'mortal sin'. Because I was a bit michievous, the nuns made my school life a misery.Unlike some people, I honestly can't say, I'd love to be back at school. I hated it. I suffered from a terrible rejection problem.

I lived in Europe for 3 years, became an athiest. Yes, I read all the books, Ayan Randd, Velokofsky, you name it. But it did'nt make me any happier inside myself.

Nine years later I lived in Australia, and I met some Born Again Christians. I just KNEW, by watching them and what they had, I desperately needed. Iv'e never looked back.
