What about my religion teachings? What about my basements from my ancestors? Why such religions repeatedly speaks loudly that there is no other way? does it mean that all the other religions are trash? or this particular Religion(all knows what is it) a bogus and fictious?

I Corinthians 11:8-9 "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man."
The Bible's decree of male supremacy has kept woman inferior to men for centuries. For the religious, it comes as a sad fact that a human must have a penis to receive any respect or power within the Church.
All woman should realize that such phrases in the Bible has justified for many Christian men, not only their supremacy but a reason to sexually abuse women. (See also I Cor. 14:34-36, I Timothy 2:8-15, I Peter 3:1-7, Ephesians 5:22-24, Col. 3:18-19)

I ask that you Endure me and my rather unconventional ideas...but Have you ever considered that maybe God was the 'Evil' One, and Satan was a type of modern day Prometheus.

My logic is this, the bible--the main source of info for believers, is claimed as "God's word", hence this is "HIS" side of the story. But we all know that to truly evaluate and judge a story we must hear BOTH sides of the story.
God frames the situation and 'claims' that Satan was rebellious, disobeyed, and was therefore expelled from heaven...

Maybe we should consider Satan's side, in heaven he was basically a slave, forced into servitude by a Tyrant known as God. Satan had no 'free-will', he had to obey god or be destroyed, tired of that pointless existence he decided to lead a revolt --similar to the American Revolution when they were being oppressed by the monarchy of Britain.
Maybe history should rewrite Satan as a hero, and God as a Oppressive Tyrant that demanded absolute slaves.

I made brownies(that I made from a box) for a church function and this girl was like. "My brownies are way better...I make the best brownies...on..and..on. --how rude to say that b.t.w

And I was like do you make them from box right! How can they be better than anyone elses!

In all fairness, if you follow the DIRECTIONS exactly how it is written on the box, it will come out the same as everyone elses...right? The only reason they would come out wrong is if you couldn't read you dumb ******!!!!!!

I makes me sick how ignorent people can be!!!

Anyone else feel the same?

I've noticed a lot of arguments back and forth today about whether or not Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, etc. are Christians. Saying what a thing is not, however, implies something that it is. So, what is the definition of a Christian that enables one to make judgments about whether or not someone else is actually a Christian? Obviously the line gets drawn somewhere - a Buddhist is not a Christian, for example - but where, and how?

Richard Dawkins has a bright idea: Atheists are the new gays. Is he joking? Not at all. The bestselling author of The God Delusion has been suggesting for two years now that atheists can follow the example of gays. Can an atheist "rights" group be far behind? Hate crimes laws to protect atheists? Affirmative action for unbelievers?

body feels run down and I feel so tired. This life has taken a toll on me, and my body just cannot go on. I long for the rapture soon. Are you curious to find out what comes of this up and coming peace conference hosted by Bush? I am certainly interested in that. Are you looking forward to going home too? I am on antibiotics now, and I hope they help. I find each time I catch public transport I end up sick. I guess most people make me sick litterally. So I find it hard to go out anywhere now becasue I end up catching a virus and have to go on antibiotics to help get rid of the infection. Chrisitians I need your prayers that I get better, and that I have a closer walk with God. sometimes I worry about my salvation. I know I need to thihe more, but I am on a disability support pension and I cannot affort much at all. I hope God understands this. Christians I need your prayers. Thank you.

I'm thinking of adopting a dog. I like the name Jesus. Not pronounced Hey-soos, but Ge-zus. I believe Christianity is bunk, but Jesus is a pretty snappy name. What do you think?

that we atheists come to R&S because we're looking for God, or that we're lost and want to get on the path?

I mean, I know that is said jokingly here and there, but does anyone actually think this? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I am Christian but I hate how the world seems brainwashed on their thoughts. Growing up I have so many different religions in my family. I am Eskimo, Cherokee, Egyptian and so many other things and my family grew up telling me stories and all kinds of things. In the end I chose to be Christian but im sure that my son will choose Christianity because that is the church I attend but what is so wrong about teaching a child world religions. I have had many a debate with my boyfriends family about it.

And dont say that I shouldnt lie to my child because Christians lie to their children all the time and allow their religion to be commercialized and our savior to be recessed. Im not saying all Christians but a majority do.
