In the 12th Century clergy were forbidden to marry to prevent property passing from the church to their families?

Some of us actually thought it had to do more with some kind of morality or sexual purity but no, it was just about church finances and property.

I come to Yahoo Answers to LEARN, and I'm tired of this WAR between religions. If we can't get along, then why can't we just separate?!?!

Here are the major battles:

Christianity v. Atheism
Christianity v. Agnosticism
Christianity v. Everything else that's not Christianity
Atheism v. Agnosticism
Atheism v. Religion in general (although some definitions of 'religion' would include Atheism!)

Therefore.... we need these catagories:

Christianity
Atheism
Agnosticism (because we don't belong ANYWHERE)
All other religions (not saying that all other religions should be grouped together, because they are very different. However, I don't think there would be enough questions asked on other individual religions).

SO... WHO HATES MY IDEA?

I have been a a christian for a few years now and i do feel like God has given me a renewed sense of purpose and made me feel alive. I have a question though and it is if we are not of this world then what can you really expect out of life besides just going through the motions and then passing on to join God for eternity in heaven? I mean if i wanted to be a scientist should i still keep in mind all of my christian values? or if i was interested in the universe and if there is other life out there do you think God wants us to know these kind of things?

I have heard a few Creationists claim that the layers of strata don't exist. I'm taking a geology class in college. My teacher took us on a trip to the rocky mountains. He took us to a spot where there was strata. It had all 12 layers all in the correct order. I'm sorry, but you people are not going to convince me that something I have seen with my own 2 eyes doesn't exist. I guess you would have to be brainwashed before you see the layers of strata to see them and still not believe in them.

Yes I know what he did.. Don't condem it either. But these women if that what you call them got DUI(S), could have killed someone,each have done it more then once. What sentance did they get, 30days, 1 day or 82 mins in jail. I don't see MAAD making t-shirts with their faces on it, or loves ones who have loss someone to drunck driving. They get a slap on the wrist, and kiss on their BOO-BOO sent back to us in the free world to keep doing the same until they do kill someone.Vick will feel the wrath for not killing someone by driving drunk, but his part in dogfighting and gambling.

I've seen and heard worst things people have done . We have leaders who have lied, cheated and have committed murder, but Vick and his skin color will be the scaptgoat.-

This has been asked before, but all references are to the OT. And any NT sources are not DIRECTLY quoted.

I really would like to see NEW TESTAMENT references please.

the praying over the wax sets fire on a path of destruction...

humans are manipulated into silence spiritually by this effect....
it damages our conscience, it distorts our emotions and it becomes the source of our mental imbalances....

The church also uses the same practice with water... holy water that is why they get us to block our mind's eye with it.. in the middle of our forhead... also doucing ourselves in it deadens our senses...

These are but 2 of the voodoo type practices that occur in the Roman Catholic Church...

Until mother nature healed the elements of nature
it went undetected...

now the OT god was mean and killed lots of people and told people to kill others if they didnt follow him. that means this god is extremely violent,cruel, and harsh.

yet jesus comes and preaches forgiveness....but the gospels writers really do him a disservice by having him threaten people on how to live their lives. to me that is not consistant at all with how jesus wanted people to live. he wanted people to love thy enemies and be the good samaritan. yet if they dont believe in him all this crazy stuff will happen. now another inconsistancy with jesus being all lovy dovy is that the NT god which if its really jesus shows how vindictive he is because he has to sacrifice himself in one of the most brutal ways possible to save humanity. From what? not really from sin, but from God. Think about it, people sin andeventually they will kill each other, but God actually would be the one destroying them first.
So my question is, why does it seem like jesus is peaceful when he really isnt

Or are they destined to end up in the waste bin of history for ignoring eons of deeply ingrained human expression by trying to
