And you don't necessarily have to do the killing yourself. You just decide whether they are to die or not.

The Cathlolic Church celebrates all saints day on thursday. I am confused as to how to distinguish a hero from a saint and saint from a hero whom I believe both are able to do great things or small things for the good of others, for country and for God...in an unselfish motive..

Can you, of intelligent mind, knowing the shear immensity of this universe, with a straight face and complete honesty say that you are absolutely positive that we (homosapiens) are the only intelligence that exists.

If the answer is Yes, don`t you find these characteristics to be contradictory?

Just - Receive an equal reward or punishment for an action. I.E. You don`t send guy to prison for life for stealing a pack of cigaretts.

Mercy - Rendering less a punishment for an action. The offense outweighs the punishment. I.E. Judge gives a defendant a slap on the wrist with the warning that if you do it again the punishment will be more strict.

How can God be all-merciful and all-just. This does not make any sense.

He's only human, he might have done charitable things and done good things but is he Jesus? Why must you now turn him into a saint and start praying to him? Isn't that the same thing as idolitry? Or would you say, you pray to him so he can intervene for you to God?!

Why do some religious people hate gays that much. I know bible supposely say it abdomination. If you forgot for a second about what bible or religion say,would you honestly give a crap about what private relationship consenting adults get in.I think life is too short to spend time worrying about crap like that. To me its just the governments(both state and federal) way to distract us from more important issues.

It seems that the world thinks these sins are OK because it is becoming normal.

It is not normal in God's mind.

I stand on the narrow road with the few who follow God.

My atheist 17 year old son has been given a ticket to one, compliments of some girl in his class that he has the hots for.

Should I let him go or should we run in the opposite direction?

In your opinion how should i deal with the majority of these kids that i go to school with ? ... im in the 11th grade and just feel like hitting somebody, everyday i go to school and listin to these kids condemn me to a hell because they ease drop on a convo im having with another person and they hear me drop the "I don't believe in god" ?... seriously i pity these kids some times because religion was most likely forced upon them by their parents or another peer. I was baptised catholic, but since the 7th grade ive considered myself agnostic. probably because i was never forced to go to church. I guess my question is what would you guys do... i mean they do plenty of other things to piss me off but religion is something that really gets me. im sure many of you have been or are in the same situation. Just curious as to how you all dealt with it. *Its almost an everyday thing, and thats the only reason i would bother making a question about it*
