Why not?

Now, before you go on a rampage, let me tell you that it is sick and disgusting for what they did. They all deserve punishment and to no longer be a priests.

However, priests are only one occupation. Most pedophiles are other occupations. You do not have to be a priest to be a pedophile, and becoming a priest doesn't make you a pedophile.

I know people hold them to a higher standard, but they're human beings. They are not gods. They are vulnerable just like any other human being. Becoming a priest does not turn you into an unemotional warrior monk.

Pedophiles are all bad and they are all disgusting. They all deserve the maximum punishments possible. However, I just hate how people make fun of priests and stuff like that just because a handful of them became pedophiles.

Like i said. 4 a while i would even check 2 make sure i wasn't sitting on a ciggarette. i'm inclined 2 think it has a spiritual significance rather than body. Like a chakra or something. Because when i get the feeling i also seem 2 get a rush of the body and i will feel very much in the moment. Pls someone tell me u've heard of this. It's really got me curious.

I find this interesting. An effort to battle the people with AM in their logins but creating FC for Followers of Christ.

Google finds it but when I go to look at it, its gone. Looking at the cached (remembered) copy gives this.

Even if god was real. How Can I respect a god, who sends human beings to do his job(Jesus, Muhammad and all the other prophets) deliver his messages and gives certain clues, hides things and challenges you to find it for your self, sets us up for failure so that he can burn us. Why didn't god just say, "look, I created everyone and everything" plain and loud for all to hear. by the way, what kind of father, would let his son be humiliated and beaten and battered and hung on a cross for him to bleed to death??

John 1:1 is used to support that teaching that Jesus is God. Did you know that if you examine the scripture, it will show that Jesus is actually NOT God, but inferior to him. There are 2 points to show this.

Question...what are the 2 points that prove Jesus and God are different?

I'm sorry if it sounds repititive but I don't know any Black people and curious about what racism means to them on a day-to-day basis. Mostly if you're a Middle-class Black person with an educated background, does that make you less vulnerable?

I have tried finding information and this.

Confusing!

This question is not to insult, but more of a curious view, I noticed many conservative/fundamentalist christians reinforce gender roles and stereotypes and how the man of the house is usually quiet, unfriendly, seems to hold all emotion within and works a very masculine job (builder, woodsman, etc) and the woman/wife is almost always a homemaker or sews for a living.

My question is, how do you feel about:
men who sew and enjoy creative projects typically more associated with women (knitting, crocheting)
male fashion designers, ballet dancers and models
female athletes/wrestlers/boxers and career women
female builders and construction workers
male nurses and female pastors/church leaders

(I'm not bringing sexual orientation into this, so please no gay/lesbian commentary). I just want to see if conservatives/fundamentalists really do reinforce stereotypical gender roles or are they a little more open than they let on?

For millions of people who embraced Jesus and it changed there life
Here a few some say Jesus changed there life.
1. Helped them stay away from drugs
2. Gave people in prison a reason to believe they have forgivness
and can become better people
3. Has given people miracle healings
4. Helps people love and forgive better
5. Helps people daily in life with there exsistence in many ways

If this is all delsuion as some say why would people be better off without this delsuion as you say (Although I say it is the Holy Spirit) what is a better way for a person to love, understand forgive have hope without Jesus?
Rememeber Jesus did ot come to the arrogant but for the humble?
So what is it???

Philip Pullman quote...(yes, i did just post another post on him)
AN extention of my other post...He feels that he has the right to be hatful and disrespectful to religion and to attack it, just as he has...but he seems to think that others simply should not be allowed to have countering views at all. What an idiot! He is no hero, like some people make him out to be.He Is a frightened fool who wishes to kill and stamp out all thoughts of God and faith just so that he doesn't have to deal with it anymore.
Im not a Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu...what does someone have to be religious to see what a bigot he is?
Why do we throw religion into a box, and decide that it is all evil and the basis of all war and killing in the world?
If we want to look at things that way, than atheism is a religion in and of itself and no less dangerous.
Relgion is not the root of all evil...MEN are because we just so love to hate and fight and detroy anything that disagrees with us.

Do you think that once we're in heaven, after judgement day, we'll be able to remember those who didn't make it? What do you think?

In the english translation, the commandment says "You shall not kill." I have heard recently that the original hebrew word more closely meant "murder", which is a very particular type of killing. Since I am no hebrew scholar, could someone please educate me on the precise entymology of the original word?

It would make more sense, the same as the difference between a prohibition from lying and one from bearing false witness - a particular and heinous sort of lie.

There was plenty of killing at the hands of the Israelites after the commandments were handed down. So it seems killing is allowed, except when it is unjustified and premeditated.

Please, just the hebrew definition, I'm not interested in a debate over the morality of killing.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't it then logical that if anyone has ever chosen to name a human child (or for that matter, is in fact a human being named) Muhammad, they should also all be shot - as it is surely an insult to a God for such a fallible and flawed creature as any human to be called by His Name? This seems to be the natural extrapolation of the 'reasoning' given by those interviewed over this matter.

Alternatively, if it is OK for a simple, innocent, young boy to be named Muhammad, then it MUST be OK for him to suggest that a child's toy bear should be called by this his own 'human' name...in which case what is the fuss about?

EITHER the name can be used for naming humans, pets, toys or whatever -- OR it is ONLY the preserve of the God-head -- in which case all folks who ever chose to be disparaging to the Lord through deeming it suitable to use His Name in vain to address a mere human MUST also GUILTY of blasphemy. Surely you cannot have it BOTH ways -- can you!
