for example I visited an AG(Assymbly of God) church last wed night & today & they welcome women reading scripture & sharing (without taking the Pastors spot!) they sing& worship with music, but not like a rock band. So why is the Church of Christ(I'm a member of) so darn strict?

If understand it correctly, Jesus spent alot of his time in the Middle East. Why did Christianity not seem to take hold? Or am I just wrong in my perception?

I was in church today and the pastor said the reason God lets people burn in hell is because he would never force his love on anyone. Then the pastor said that now a days we have a word for forcing our love on someone it is rape. Being a victom of rape I was really offended, becasue rape is not about love it is about power. During what I have gone through my husband has forced me to do things that I didn't want to do, like seek help and counceling and I would consider he was forcing love on me. Even though I didn't want his help in the end it was better for me. Isn't this what tough love is, no parent would allow their child to go a bad way, they would try and stop them right? That is tough love. Shouldn't God who is a perfect Father be the same way? Seems to me if God lets someone burn in hell because he does not love God, that is abuse of a child right? I know I would never punish my child for not loving me, what do you guys think?

I spent three weeks working in a LDS ward and feel really bad for the people!

I mean they certainly did get themselves into that trouble but my time at St. Timothy's reminded me that as a Baptist we need to pray for those addicted to drugs, crimes, and alcohol.

What do you think? Do you know anyone addicted to LDS, Crack, or Scientology or anything else that can be harmful? What about Tom Cruise. He was born a Catholic and then fell into Scientology.

For all we know, God doesn't want people to believe in Him and if you do choose to believe you will be punished eternally in the afterlife. Isn't that scenario just as likely as the one the Bible talks about?


Isn't it a safer bet to just live for the sake of living and not focus on unprovable superstitious?

This an opinions question. I've read the first book, I've seen the movies, I've head all the arguments from both sides, so I don't need any background info. Do you think George and Kathy Lutz's Amityville Horror story was true? Based upon some truth? Or a fraud perpetrated upon the public to make money? And yes, I'm aware there have been questions on this topic before, but most of them have been from people requesting basic information. Thanks for your input, all opinions welcome.

Why don't you just browse the costume websites or look up "make your own costumes" on Yahoo websearch, or just read all the suggestions already here, to get some ideas?

Okay, still stumped? At least give us some details about yourself: what do you enjoy? What kind of personality do you have? Age? Male or female? Size (roughly--slim, average, short, plump, extra tall?), and they might at least give us something to go on!

Thanks!

Okay. Let me just say this. The theory that homosexuality is a choice seems severely flawed to me.

1) If homosexuality is a choice, then it is CERTAINLY not a conscious choice? Who would knowingly choose to be gay when they know that it's going to make their lives more difficult. Furthermore, if a person did consciously choose to be gay, wouldn't that mean that they already had an inclination towards homosexuality? Otherwise, why in the world would they choose the same sex?

2) If choosing to be gay is a subconscious choice (perhaps a choice we make unawaringly at a very young age) then that's essentially the same as being born gay, because the person did not consciously choose it and therefore can not be held accountable for "choosing."

I am straight and am/always have been a born again Christian. I simply just think the choice argument is weak and senseless. Also, if you truly believe in this choice theory, please explain when and how people make this decision. Thanks.

The Bible is based on things which have no actual rational logical explainations for their orgins or sources.
If a politican were to consule the state or nation with his/her illogical irrational fallacies what kind of person would believe these things the politican was saying?
For instance, one may say "We will kill all polar bears, because last night, I was informed, by a higher power, that polar bears are unclean."

What if your son came up to you, and said "Tomorrow will not come, because the earth will lose all it momentum, aftert he last earthly child is born. Causing the earth to stop with this sudden added mass."

Why does one put their trust in religion, if it is irrational?

It would be much harder to reach the delusional and under-educated people without R&S.

Would this situation upset you, and am I wrong for not feeling hurt by it, in your opinion?

About 12 years ago, I dated a guy who wasn't sure of his sexuality (I only found out afterward I'd started seeing him). It didn't really bother me, but the relationship failed because we were very different and I felt the need to move on. I was only 17 and he was 16. We remained friends but lost touch after a bit.

A little while later I started seeing another guy... that didn't last long either, and we went our separate ways.

Recently I found out (from an old friend) that these 2 guys got it together and have been a happy couple for years! Good on 'em, I thought. When I told my female friends, several of them were horrified.

I was surprised and didn't understand my friends' reactions. So bloody what? If these two men met and realised they wanted ti be together? It's no reflection on me. If you're gay or bisexual, then that's how you are, end of story. Why should it get to me?
