I was watching Home Makeover last night where they built a camp for kids that were HIV positive or had parents or relatives that were. One 17 year old stated how hard it had been for her. She was born with it. At one time she was asked to leave a Sunday church service by her pastor.

I think I might have asked the pastor if I could speak and then let them know just what I thought of that and how hypocritical he was. It was a church for God's sake. Everyone is suppose to be welcome no matter what. If you do research, you cannot catch it by sitting in a church pew, hugging or just talking to someone. However, how many times have you been in chruch where someone is coughing, sneezing all over the place. You can catch a cold quicker than anything from someone else.

I am white and proud and not a racist.

Why is it white people cannot stand up and say they are proud to be white?
Why is it there can be "the chinese group" "the black group" but we can't have the white group?

I can be called whity, but if I call someone ***** (N*gga) , Kaffir or Chink I am racist? See i spell it and it is "*****" yet whity isn't.

We can have black radio and punjabi radio, yet if there was white radio it would be taken off-air for not being politically correct?

Am I the only one who thinks that we have gone politically correct crazy?

And how come whites are the only racists?

A few people have told me that jesus died for our sins, and that his death and pain compensated for our sins, and that if it weren't for him being sacrificed that we would all be sent to hell. However, I believe that this is not consistent with a loving and compassionate god. I think that god judges us based on who we are and who we intend to be, not based on who we were or who we have been. I think he forgives people who truely and honestly regret the bad things they have done, and he forgives things that we have done wrong as long as we didnt have the intention of doing wrong, and that even those who have intended to do wrong can still be forgiven just as so long as they are really sorry for what they've done and dont intend to do it again. I don't think god requires a sacrifice to make up for our sins, because if that is so, then that is not true forgiveness. Its compensation. Its not letting it go. Its putting a price for what we've done. Will I go to hell for thinking this way

I grew up in a Christian family. I was baptized and was reluctantly forced to attend Sunday school until I was 11. My parents still go to church every Sunday. Now I am currently agnostic but I am seeking other religious beliefs as potential options in my future. I am just curious, in the eyes of others, am I going to heaven or hell and why? I'm not sure if heaven or hell exist but I’m not positive they don't either. I just want to hear what other people think. (I'm preparing myself for some religious fundamentalists critiques however I’d like everyone and anyone’s opinion =])

"One day the angels [a] came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan [b] also came with them. The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." (NIV Job 2:6-7)

My questionis if God s evil and cannot be in the presence of it, how could Satan be with God?

I'm sure you have all had tough situations in life, and found that being in charge has an appeal. Do you think being in charge of a bad situation is better than being a servant in a good place? What is more important to you, comfort or command?

A bible thumper in my family informed me that Catholics are not Christian. I laughed. A Christian in my opinion is a person who believes in Jesus Christ and accepts him as their savior. Last time I checked...Catholics believed that.

I mean if you just start saying "hi how are you?" and reaching your hand around for a shake, they could mistakenly lock you up in the loony bin, where the only tv show they play is re-runs of "The View" from when Star Jones was on! What's the best way to greet the visibility-impaired?

I posted a question that was supposed to be a response to similar questions I've seen recently posed to atheist. I wanted to show the authors how their questions look to us.

My point was missed, sorry.
