Have you decided who your candidate will be? I know this question should be in the politics category but I think the answering will be far more pleasant from you folks. My wife and I use absentee ballots because of our age but neither of us has decided as yet who we'll favor. I wish we had better choices, do you?

all those people that are gay or lesbian? It's against God's word right? There have been studies that prove that MOST homosexuals are NOT homosexuals by choice. It is the way they are born. You can't TEACH homosexuality. Why would God allow homosexuality in other species EXCEPT humans? Scientists say that its a different chemical balance inside the brain, abviously somethign that can not be controlled. Even is a gay man was to never have gay relations and live and die alone, it doesn't change the fact that he was gay. Would God accept him then? Again, I'm not trying to be ignorant. I just want to hear the answers of others. Enlighten me. So I pray that those who answer this question, answer carefully and not judge, or insult me.

Are they only holding onto the Christian label to avoid social disapproval?

I have heard this so many times I could spit. Most recently from Ory: "Sorry, Atheism is a religion. It's the worship of one's self as the highest form of being."

I do not worship myself! Where did this bull come from? Some idiot preacher?

I'm a Senior Warden in my home Blue Lodge in the States, but in February I'll be visiting a Lodge in Ukraine that does its work in Ukrainian. This is the first time I'll be visiting a Lodge outside my own Grand Lodge and I will have a letter of introduction from my Grand Secretary. Master Masons, what suggestions do you have for me to get the most out of the experience?

say gobbledy kook stuff like this?

God does not think the way man thinks. we have brains that hold limited understanding of universal principles. The event calls for a much deeper manner of understanding the message

(if a christian wrote this, how then can they understand this?)

favorite all time answer: "god, is god"

can you explain your religion without saying it's unexplainable and unattainable to the ignorant heathen?

... and if we are, is it a good idea to run up as much debt as possible, because I don't believe there will be any debt collectors around after the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have done their thing

just curious ... it's nothing personal, they seem SO intensely focused on being a 'good Christian', that they miss a lot of what is going on around them.

an I'm not saying everyone is like this, I've just met a couple people that were a little intensely focused.

it's sort of like "so heavenly bound, no earthly good."

I am going through probably one of the top three worst times in my life right now. (As most of my R&S friends know, I have finally gotten myself out of an abusive relationship).

However, I am holding up surprisingly well. Those who love me have really held me up and carried me throughout the fog of the last couple of weeks. I feel stronger than I have in three years!

Have you ever had this happen to you?

Why or why not? Do you have problems getting together with family at Christmas because of your differences in beliefs about it? Please share others may be struggling too.
