Christians believe that the sins of father are visited upon the future generations?
Now by that Christian logic, the Black man and the Native Americans have a right to avenge the Sins of the White man on the current generations of whites!
How do you justify this? if you say it is not applicable why do you quote it whenever suitable?

I mean someone you could love and as well someone anything ANYthing nothing for them was too gross or extreme for that was how extreme your love/lust/obcession for them was.

I was Catholic, a Mormon and a last non denominational Christian. Now I am not active at all. I'm not sure if it's because I am losing faith, or that I am becoming an atheist. I don't feel anything when I am at church anymore. Ever since I first started working a hospice, I became more open minded, more spiritual, but less religious, or not at all religious.

I feel something around mother nature... I feel relaxed when I am walking through a park, looking at the sky day or night, sailing on a boat, when it rains or snows, I fear but have a deep respect of nature's disasters such as twisters, hurricanes, etc.. I feel that a plant has feelings... is this a psychological problem??

I feel lost...

I don't want to be preached, and no sarcasm please. I just want appropriate opinions from everyone of all different faiths. Thank you!

It just seems to me that today as more and more people are getting better education, then more and more people are turning agnostic or atheist. I think a common comment from todays youth is "I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual". Is this a clue that people are starting to apply their education towards evaluating religion and beginning to step away from it? Although they aren't fully agnostic or atheist they certainly show they are questioning organized religion.

Okay before any of you call me crazy and please dont ... I have been living in my trailor house for almost 2 years ... when i first moved in a few little strange things were hapening .. like doors (the front and back door to the home) opening in the middle of the night and day wether or not anyone was home or not ... strange messages appearing on my television in a black box .. When the doors would open or when i would have spooky feelings but still not scared i would simply say stop or go away ..and it would stop for a while .. I would go into every room in the house and do what some would say called anoint the house by saying i pleed the blood over this house in the name of jesus and i would do this in every room and even the closets ..about 8 months ago the doors stopped opening and about 6 months ago the msg's on the tv stopped as well .. but here for about 2 weeks not i have been having really scary feeling in the house and walking to my house like someone is watching me . cont-

I was speaking with a church go'er, and we were talking about religion. He told me that if I condone someone being gay (or even love them) then it makes me a sinner.

My mother is gay. (well both of them) I was raised by two women. Now, if I choose to have faith, no matter how much I believe, because I love both my moms, I will be a sinner.

Have you ever heard of such?

We all do, I did.
You have to question everything and everyone on the quest for the ultimate truth. The Bible is not the perfect book as many want you to believe and you, only you, should consider whether the Bible is relevant to your life or not. Don't let others fool or misguide you.
Your life is yours.

Why is everyone so up in arms over what category questions are placed? We place our questions in certain categories for our own reasons, and because regulars who frequent those categories are more apt to see them there.

And no it doesn't clog up any system. If you don't like the question, the simple solution is to roll over it.

It doesn't make much sense. Jesus was a Jew. Why is there Christianity if he was a Jew? And the thing is, Christians probably dislike Jews.

I know some girls may have asked similar questions before, but I also need advice. I will be going to college this fall & I have decided to wear hijab and start a new way of life. I believe it is mandatory for muslim women to wear it, but my mom doesn't agree. She thinks it's unncessary. My dad is definitely fine with it. My mom thinks I should just dress modestly without the hijab. She says it's just an arab custom (I'm african). But I told her the majority of arabs are muslim, that is why the majority of them wear it. I also thought to myself, If we don't have to wear the hijab regularly, why don't we pray or enter a mosque without it then? I know I am definitely going to do it before I go to college. I would do it tomorrow if I could, but I am in my last year in a catholic h.s. & I'm afraid it will cause problems if I suddenly show up with a hijab. I feel guilty about that though. I don't know if it's wrong not to wear it for that reason. Hijabi women, I prefer your answers.
