Or are only certain people welcome? What is acceptable here in R&S and what isn't? Do the rules apply to everyone or just those you disagree with? And why is it necessary to gang up on another user? Shouldn't differences be handled between the two original people through private email?

I would like to think that those that frequent this board would be the most humane, moral, self aware... regardless of what we believe. Instead there is mostly judgement, ridicule, a lack of respect for one another.

So, do you welcome everyone here or just your kind?

I'm not asking about what the Bible says regarding homosexuality.
How many of you think that this man is doing what God wants him to do?
I don't think there is invective enough in the English langauge to convey the contempt I have for this man and his followers.
I'm a Christian, the daughter of a veteran, and sister of two veterans.

Let us say, for example, two thirds of Americans decided to make America 100% Christian run.In other words, every law and every decision and every facet of life in America would have to be in agreement with the Bible and approved by whatever church was granted the authority to oversee the interpretation and implementation of scripture.Chances are good that the following would happen that man Christians would approve:
1.Science, with emphasis on theory and especially with emphasis on evolution would be banned unless it agreed with scripture.
2.Gay marriage and homosexuality would be banned nation wide
3.The FCC would be replaced by a council of priests or ministers who would censor anything they found offensive
4.Other religions such as Paganism would mostly likely be banned
These four are just for starters...
1 would end the era of knowledge
2 would create a whole new wave of human injustice in the name of righteousness
3 would end the age of free speech
4 could start the fire

Or the death of children, even the unborn? Then why do they denie them health care that could keep the ones alive that are already here?
They do not care about children. But to sound religious they have to be against something we can all agree on.
Since it affects so few voters. I mean how many unwed mothers who would have an abortion vote?
So how do they show they care about children by denieing them health care? Or letting uninsured people die with cancer because they cannot afford the treatments to enable them to live? Is being against abortion enough to make them the religous right?

I might sound weird but I always think there's a ghost everywhere I go. At the times 9:30 to 10:00 p.m., usually my tv goes off automatically.Even when the channel box is at the other side of the room. It's like a ghost is telling me I need to go to sleep. What do you think?

There are many people-more than I can count -who declare the Bible as the Word of God -or the Inspired word of God... but yet refuse to believe that any other spiritual text could ALSO be the Inspired word of God and worthy of our study. How does this make sense? Or am I the only one who is confused?

Shouldn't we as educated individuals be encouraged to seek out spiritual fulfillment from whatever source God has put in our path? It will either ressonate within you as truth at which point you carry it as such or it won't and in that case you can dismiss it as nothing, but either way, would we be more educated in our respective Faith's?

This is not just directed towards just Christians - the same could be true of Muslim's, Mormon's, or really any religion who declares that their Holy text is the ONLY holy text... Thoughts?

And I'm not just looking for people to agree with me - I'm seriously looking for a valid explaination on why I shouldn't seek information from EVERY source

My friend is having a 2nd baby and she asked me for some maternity clothing. I wrapped them up in a nice hat box and presented them to her. We were both excited. She knows I plan to have more babies in the future. I gave her maybe 10 pieces and see her as much as 3 times per week. I haven't seen her wear one thing. That is okay except I'm thinking she didn't like them and I imagine them just sitting there ... should I ask her about them or what? What is the best etiquette here?
It has been a couple of months now just so you know.

By "wanna be" I mean that someone has accused you of wanting/trying to be white, black, Asian, etc...

And yes, I know we cannot "act a race". And no, I'm not trying to stir anything up. I'm just curious to know if you've experienced this and how you reacted.

I do apologize if I've worded this in a manner that anyone finds offensive. That was certainly not my intention.

Four of us (out of 15) eat no meat at all. Isn't it a bit inconsiderate for the owner to have our Christmas party at a steakhouse? Should we say something?

I've checked the menu and even their salads have meat in them.

Im reaching out because Im having a bad day because a group of people hurt my feelings and Im having a hard time getting past it. It's like I know I have to pray for them and "this to shall pass". I feel like I just want to crawl unders my covers and cry. Do you think that is a test of my faith? Now I'm about to start rambling, I guess I'm looking for some words of encouragement, really having a bad day because of it. Thanks

Do you ever get to know someone and NOT have the aim of converting them to your own belief? Say, for example, you had a good friend who was steadfast in refusing to becoming a Christian - would you continue that friendship?
