....and Heaven is so beautiful and peaceful, why then do they cling to life in such a desperate way in a world of injustice and cruelty? Do they want to emulate Jesus or are they in doubt?
To doubt is to think.

About as dumb as being a racist is HATING your own race. Elise, with your blonde hair and blue eyes, I guess you must have some sort of Caucasian blood... Who taught you that was bad? Guess what, sweetie, EVERY RACE HAS COMMITTED ATROCITY, some more recent than others, some get more press than others. There are MANY reasons to be proud of your heritage. I think self hate CAUSES prejudice against others. Wasn't Hitler part Jewish?

My husband has to work on Thanksgiving, so we are going to have a small Thanksgiving at home, but we usually go to his Family's get together, or my Family's thing. This year it is his Family's turn, but he is not going. His mother wants me to go to there's, but my Mother wants me to go to my Family's, since my husband's not comming anyways.

Should I ditch my in laws to go to the one I really want to, or should I stick with the tradition? Either way, someone's going to be upset.

It just makes no sense.

I'm pretty sure God loves them too. But according to Christians they will go to hell so my Athiset friends that died in Iraq protecting us will go to hell.

That makes no sense at all.

okay now first I want to state that the premis of the answers should be based on the following......that sexual orientation and sexual activity need to be kept separate as a person can have a sexual orientation and yet not engage in homosexual acts. And that the way of salvation is clearly outlined in scripture as accepting the gift of grace which is through Jesus Christ. I've just seen so many answers in other questions saying you can't be a gay christian and that is obsurd......just because someone is struggling with a sin (keeping in mind the difference between action and orientation) doesn't mean they can't be children of God. My question is about the interpretation of scripture that talks about homosexuality and what your thoughts are. the verses I've been looking at have been Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13; Romans 1:27; 1 Cor 6:9 ; 1tim 1:10. I'm just trying to wrap my head around sound scriptural teachings and how it has been interpreted differently about this issue

I know the verse below is used to support extra-Biblical tradition. My question is this. Which specific traditions of the Catholic church did Paul mean when he wrote this verse? Which specific traditions did he teach that are not in the Bible?

2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Does anyone have a favorite episode from the old Twilight Zone dealing with spirit, afterlife, alternate universes, any of the things we discuss here? If so, what is it? Rod Serling was very provocative (the thought-provoking kind) in his scripts. Did any of those episodes cause you to think?

I'm after some more creative ideas for fair trade gift giving.

Do you have any interesting ideas for gifts (aside from the usual fair trade coffee and chocolates)? What are your favourite organisations or websites?
