Society & Culture - 1 December 2007

I know the bible says murder is a sin, homosexuality is a sin, glutteny is a sin and so on and so on, so:
How is it that any church can have a gay preacher?
How is it that any christian can kill while at war?
How is it that christians can be rich? ( i know that you can be blessed with wealth in this one, but why is it not required to give to the more needy? I believe that if you have a 42" plasma in your living room, that money could have gone to the less fortunate)
Not trying to offend anyone, these are just questions that i always had as a christian, and they are so straightforward that i can not see how they can be interpreted as anything but what they say.

Nothing can change what I believe, I believe this because I know it is true. Why does everything have to be prooven, some things are true and dont have any proof.

My all of my friends parents just happen to hate me. I think its because I don't have good manners. I'm really lound around my friends and its hard to be quite and proper. And I'm 13 and I don't really know what to talk about when I'm with them with their parents, I talk about guys but then they just think that its too young to be talking and saying guys are cute.

thanks

America is blamed for everything including moral decline. I think that globalization has little to do with it. Just look in a village that has no tv or much outside contact. It has all the elements of greed, lust and hopelessness.

I have heard alot of people say that some Christians believe that they can get by with anything. Well, the truth is; you can be forgiven for all of your sins! Yes! Thats true. But, all sins have different levels of consequences. A fool would believe that he could kill someone and God would simply let him get by with it. Not true. But I won't deny that most of us are guilty of taking the mercy and love of God for granted. All of us have been guilty one time or another of saying "Well, I can do it now and God will forgive me later". But that is a dangerous way to dance! Sure God will forgive! If you truly repent. If I make the same mistake over and over then obviously I have not truly repented. So, my question is: True repentence means not only asking God for forgiveness, but to also committ yourself completely to him and his will. Or refusing to turn back to your sinfull ways. Am I right?

Do people really do it when people ask them to send their regards to somebody or said to say hi. Or it is just something people say.

...that a religion can be made-up? For example, a Christian has to admit that Islam is a fallacy, Allah may be equal to the Christian God, but the Koran is not equal to the Bible, and so aren't they admitting that a religion can be a fallacy? Then what would make someone's religion stand above others as flawless and the true religion?

She is on the way to the emergency room with Daddy. I had to stay home with the other two children. They think that she might have to be hospitalized. I'm sure all will be well but driving this late and not knowing....

There are a lot of Christians on this site. Thank you.

Have you gone to other categories in Yahoo Answers and found others bashing each other because they do not share the same ideas say on a specific brand of guitars they could buy? Or how a cake is made? Or any other subject? NO!

I stayed out of this category for a long time and then came back just to see some of the answers. If you didn't know any difference, you would think the religious people truly hate the non-religious people and vice-versa. The brutal attacks on each other are really sad to read. It would be nice to be able to read questions without having each other go straight for the juggler vein with their replies. I just hope we can find a way to be "civil" to each other and respect each other. Any suggestions how this can be done?

According to the Creationist belief Noah put 1 of each gender of each "kind" of animal on the ark, but not every species or breed otherwise the over 1.5 million known species of animals wouldn't fit in this "Clown Car Hypothesis" of yours. So this means for example only 2 dogs were on the ark and not every known breed of dog. So if for example Noah only had 2 poodles on the ark without evolution how do you explain the many different breeds of dogs we have today?

The dogs don't even have to be the same breed. You could have a labrador and a poodle. Without evolution the only breed you'd ever see is a labradoodle. So I'd like to know how this works without evolution. Enlighten me.

Senate Bill 1959 Criminalizes Thoughts, Blogs, Books and Free Speech Across America-- The end of Free Speech in America has arrived at our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks out against the Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent. All over the internet, intelligent people who care about freedom are speaking out against this extremely dangerous law.

Chase Daniel. Heisman kind of guy. Tony Temple. Best player(football) ever out of K.C. Martin Rucker, Chase Coffman and Jeremy Maclin. OUTSTANDING!!!!! Even with all these talents, which are by far surpassing any in the country, including one of my favourite teams, OU, they lost. They lost. How could they lose? Is that kind of like life?, where all our "t's" are dotted and all our "i's" are crossed?
