I'm the following:

I'm a fifteen year old lesbian, who often helps out, reading to children at the local library.
I'm a book worm and keep mostly to myself, and am on antidepressents.

Would I be welcome to be a part of your religion?

Christians: Do you find as much humor in unbelievers close-mindedness as I do?

I am speaking of their incessant drivel about how close-minded we are as Christians because we don't want to hear things which clearly contradict what the Bible says to be correct. Yet, many turn around and are just as close-minded as they claim us to be.

As an aside, do you not also find it funny that they claim to know the Bible, and yet clearly show know functional knowledge of it?

Do you find these things as funny as I do?

Doesn't Isaiah 14 talk about the King of Babylon? There have been several kings of Babylon. I believe the recent one who was King while Isaiah was writing it was Nebuchadnezzar.

Where's the proof that Lucifer was Satan?

Can anyone answer with actual bible verses both for and against same sex relationships? Does it matter if the two people are in a monogamous, serious relationship? Does it make it better/worse than a male/female relationship where one of the partners cheats on the marriage vows?

Every parent figure that I have had in my life has died. My mom died twenty years ago, her funeral was on my 5th birthday, my dad two years ago, my aunt, that raised me after my mom passed, died unexpectadly two years ago. She passed out and never regained conciousness, the next morning she died. My uncle that helped rasie me died in Feburary of this year of prostate cancer. And noe that it's time to be all smiley and happy I don't. I try not to focus on these things but at times like these I can't help it. What do you guys suggest I do to cheer myself up? How can I get that christmas spirit?

I really love the church I have recently joined however I do not think the pastor like me. whenever i come into the church he just stares at me and whisper to the men. He's married and has been for 35 yrs. I wear long shirts and loose pants or dresses so my dress is not offensive. I also try to wear little make up since they are ame. I am really modest. When I walk up to give an offering I look down cause he used to run off the stage now I don't go up there any more cause i don't want to cause trouble. I went up the alter for special prayer and when I got back in the room none of the women would pray with me and kept passing over me until I was the last one.People tell me I am pretty all the time but I don't like to act like I am cause I want people to like me. One day I tried to attend a xmas fellowship at my church and felt uncomfortable I had to leave.People are friendly but I just don't understand why the pastor hates me he along w/another pastor who acts like I am the devil

I'm not talking about dollars and cents. Can you measure the true value of a human being? What criteria would you use? Are some people of higher value than others? How do you decide?

Believers will say, "Everyone is equal in God's eyes."

But that philosophy of equality is in fact not practiced by ALL believers, nor is it necessarily the thinking of all NON-believers.

What do you think?

At a local deli, the guy takes your change and throws it in his tip jar then proceeds to say "thank you very much praise allah". if you try to take your change out of his jar he curses at you and tells you never to come back.

part 2: i work at a dairy queen and we have tip jars. one time a guy was about a buck short so he reached into my tip jar and started taking out quarters to pay with. i stared at him and told him to put the money back. whats wrong with people??

Do you think that Earth Reigions such as Wicca are becoming more and more structured and organized as Earth Religions gain in popularity?
Do you feel this will have a negative effect on the secrecy surrounding the true practitioners?
