Why is it that one of the ten commandments is to not make or bow down to any idols yet as catholics and christians we have a cross and the jewish faith has the six pointed star? What is the difference here? Are these not idols we pray too and bow down too? I don't understand...

one must understand what propaganda is and where the origin came from.... and understand what a religion is, even if they don't see their own faith or "relationship" as a "religion"

Doesn't he realize that US goes to war because another Country attacks US first. Or is planning to attack US?

Then also what about http//www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5183 where they sentenced to death a women who defended herself when a group of guys who tried to gang rape her & she accidently killed one. Then they would have sentenced her to death if she didn't try to defend herself also. Damn if she does & damn is she doesn't.

Why are they so self righteous. When Jesus Christ did just the oposite regarding the women who was caught in the act of adultery? Because Iran is an oppressive nation.

how is abortion spiritual or religious? is there really and "right" answer?

is it not really a trolling and flaming subject?

here is one biblical example of a deity killing born children

"And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead." (Exodus 12:29-30)

You mentioned earlier in the week that you (as a family) were going somewhere for the day (sunday) weather permitting.

And on the day everyone said they didnt want to go for various
reasons but never said untill the day itself, (the weather was great). I'm really piss*d off as I could have gone with someone else If I'd known they didn't want to go.

I was hoping it would be a nice family day out

...when it comes to interacting with people, do you find that, when problems/disagreements occur, you work things out more readily or do you find that you put up with less malarky & therefore cut out people who bring you down?

If that is so then is it consider "lust" or "vanity" to believe in or die for the sake of having 75 or so virgins at your disposal?

Those who were wrong about celibacy are also wrong about monogamy because the God has always allowed Polygamy.

Where does GOD say in the Bible that you can only have one wife ?

Gods words and Pauls' personal opinions are not equal.

Deut. 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Deut. 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

Deut. 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

and more christians talk about religion as something "personal"?
is it their way of accepting "defeat"?
society doesnt need them to decide so they keep it personal as if that was their choice when the truth is that is what circumstances lead them to...because when society doesnt need religion as a general matter the only thing left to do for christians is to keep it "personal"...
Like a child with a ball rejected by a group of children will say: ok i go with my ball and i play alone!

She is an senior staff member who moved into the room next to mine about 2 weeks after I got my room. It's a YWCA, by the way, not an apartment, so its really more of a boarding house. I have lived with this for years, and it's uncomfortable for me since for a long time, the smell really wasn't geting into my room. Well, now it is, and in a BIG way! I resent having to move out due to this; I have come to see this place as home. The YWCA started renting me this room way back in 2001 after I exited their domestic violence shelter. This lady has a bum hip and I love her to death--she truly is the sweetest person you could ever meet--but the stench is getting on my clothes, and keeping me awake. I'd burn a candle, but that's not allowed, and the fear of fire in me is strong. So geezz...what can I do...I have no car, & work nights, so moving would be a nightmare, not to mention that the town I'm writing from IS a nightmare--so I'm afraid to move out. I feel so trapped right now.
