and then self deleted it?

Why?

1. You decided it might have offended someone.

2. You were embarrassed that you had asked such a dumb question.

3. Someone gave you such a rude insulting answer that you felt terrible for asking the question.

We do have DOMA in effect (as of 1996, thank you Clinton...), but we also have Massachusetts legalizing gay marriage. Although these laws are supposed to left to the states (according to the Constitution), Marriage does have it's benefits from federal government: So, is Gay Marriage a state or federal issue?

now there are very different times, full of equality and freedom.

it shouldnt be forbidden to have safe and normal sex with someone we arent married. it shouldnt be a sin if someone isnt a virgin when they marry. it shouldnt be a sin to masturbate.

Hell is only for those heavy criminals like rapists, paedophiles, sadistic killers, those who hate others. but when they are in Hell, they can get a chance to get out if they truly regret, but not in Heaven. they can have their own place similiar to Heaven and they can enjoy there if they want.

everyone that is in Heaven is protected from getting hurt (physically or emotionally). so no one can be kicked out from Heaven cause they will be prevent from doing bad things. it would really suck to live all life nicely, but then in Heaven someone would be kicked out just because of one bad thing.

The law that states that it is now a federal crime for a student to refer to their parent as mom or dad in the classroom because gays, grandparents raising children or single parents might find it offensive?

That when you tear out all of the Old Testament, the Gospels of Luke and John, all of Paul's letters (except 1st Corinthians), and The Revelation of St. John..... that the bible makes a lot more sense?

I mean they don't even beleive in the devil!!! So how could some people say they worship the devil if they don't know anything about other religions other than their own?? I'm 15 and read a couple of books on Wicca and found out it's an interesting religion. But I'm waiting till I'm older to see if I want to convert to it.




P.S If I see any "your soul is tainted" or "the devil is clouding your thoughts" I will report you. I don't want any answers that say "you should follow Jesus your savior to help your soul". I will also report those.

Please don't tell me to go read the bible, I'm a Pagan & I don't need a biblical reference. It's just one of those weird things that I was wondering about & I don't want to convert.
Will you Please answer my question?

I'm just taking for example Leviticus 12:1-8.

If your Priest/ Minister/Chaplain/Spiritual Guide told you to do "all that".. would you sacrifice these doves?

I mean.. we don't do that stuff do we... it's just not relevant... so if not that.... why cherry pick the other bits you think you'd like to keep.... to the extent of finger pointing at people who don't hold the same opinion? Is it all or nothign? Or is it OK to cherry pick from the Old Testament the bits we think are awright?

Here is a quote that may frame this discussion:

To pray, I think, does not mean to think about God in contrast to thinking about other things, or to spend time with God instead of spending time with other people. Rather, it means to think and live in the presence of God. As soon as we begin to divide our thoughts about God and thoughts about people and events, we remove God from our daily life and put him into a pious little niche where we can think pious thoughts and experience pious feelings. ... Although it is important and even indispensable for the spiritual life to set apart time for God and God alone, prayer can only become unceasing prayer when all our thoughts -- beautiful or ugly, high or low, proud or shameful, sorrowful or joyful -- can be thought in the presence of God. ... Thus, converting our unceasing thinking into unceasing prayer moves us from a self-centered monologue to a God-centered dialogue. – Henri Nouwen

I have to do a community service project for a school club. Some ideas I've been thinking of were doing a paper drive and a canned food drive. If I chose to do both of those, how would I go about advertising them and actually doing it. The school would let me use the parking lot, but I don't know much beyond that. Does anyone have any other service project ideas? I'm already volunteering at a soup kitchen for another club, and I don't want to do both in the same place.
