... see the comparison I was trying to draw with the "Protestantism" question back there to the typical Creationist "argument" regarding Evolution? (i.e.: if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys...)

Sheesh: sarcasm is dead.

i went to a school that was racially diverse and my friends (mostly blacks and hispanics) would call me n*gga. they would say it in a friendly way, more like saying hey girl... when my white friend said " whats up my n*gga!", everyone looked at him in disbelief. i guess my friends didn't feel comfortable that he said it.

if you see in the media and else where, white people usually dont say the "n" word openly.

even the rapper eminem dont say the "n" word but 50 cent says it all the time...

so do you think white people can say the n word just like blacks use it with each other?

Our pastor likes to get up in church and brag about his salvation, I am trying to remember where I read in the Bible that says boasting about your own personal salvaion is wrong.
I am able to find the part where you are not to brag about your works, but this one is eluding me.
Please, serious answers only : ) Thanks!

cant people understand its the Sudanese government that has decided the fate of the teacher NOT the muslim population. As a friend to many muslims and a wife of one I know it is not the religion that is evil but obviously there are extremists that are in a minority. It just saddens me that there are people here who just want to attack every muslim and disrespect their beliefs.c'mon people surely you must know im right?

Whose students named their teddy bear Mohammed? Was this *really* an isult?? Do you think that insulting the name of Mohammed deserves a sentence of jail and a lashing (which, by the way, can tear a person's skin right off their back).

If you don't, what are you going to do to stop future sentences like this?

2Corinthians 5: 17-20
Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Jews say they are the chosen people, and many other people believe that. how does that make everyone else fit in? should everyone convert to the chosen people? kill 'em? are christians and muslims also (because they are children of abraham) the chosen peoples?

Not the followers necessarily, but the religion's system and principles. Does any of this make sense in the 21st century? Shouldn't many of these ideas have been left behind in the Dark Ages?

Before I read about it on this forum, I had no idea it was comming. I watched the advert, and on the grounds of what I saw (Kids fantasy film-very potterlike) I decided I would not be seeing it. Not a religous decision. Now however since I have read arguments against it(daily) I feel like I have to see it.

Do people, by making a fuss of this film actually promote it beyond the powers almost any markting team?

With the exception of when he speaks ex cathedra, can Roman Catholics disagree with the Pope on certain issues?

For example, I know many Catholics who use artificial contraception and I know one girl who believes that animals have souls.

Thankyou
