Society & Culture - 28 December 2007

I feel dumb quite often. There are many college educated people answering in R&S, and since I only have a high school education, I sometimes wonder how I think I can come up with answers that can compete (although that is not my reason for being here).

Who else gets this feeling sometimes?

do Muslims do the same? If so what would happen if someone stand up and says they do not want you to marry. Whats the point to even asking if someone objects to their marriage?

Many times I have been mistaken for gay, because all of my friends are gay and bisexual, my best friend is gay. I have been treated as so also. I don't think anything could change my mind about supporting lgbt.

But at the same time all the christians in my family tell me how wrong it is, and how wrong it is to support.

Are they right? Am I wrong?
Can I still consider myself a christian?

Sometimes "LORD" is used and other times "Lord" (both I found to be referring to The Lord). Same goes for "Him" and "him". Also does the rule apply when speaking of Jesus?

I asked a question earlier about whether religous people would prioritize the interests of church or state more highly in a situation where a conflict of interests arose, and the response was that in such a situation religion would win. So can these people, who have an alternative agenda be trusted to act as true citizens or patriots?

Someone was trying to explain scientology to me, and said that they beleive humans were put on earth by aliens.

This is supposedly their answer to how humans came to be, but what is their answer for how the aliens came to be?

what do you think would cause me to be a hypocrite?
I think it is the human inability to keep from all sin.
Try as we may, we can not be perfect or even come close, and we should never expect any one else to either.
Only jesus is without sin or error. What do you think?

Most specificaly once saved always saved. I dont think anyone really believes this. Do they,

Because they say that if you are saved then you are saved forever but if someone follows christ and then turns his back on God and doesnt even think about him for 20 years then they say that the person was never really saved to begin with.

But then surely that means when you look at a church you cant say who is saved or not because anyone could fall away.

In troubled times, how can i be a better person to the world.

I guess what im saying is there any ways i can make it better? I know i cant solve alot but if i could find some way of helping others, how would i go about it?

I've checked out my local community and got some service work for the homeless. Is there anything else at all?

i.e through internet and whatnot

I'm not saying that universal salvation is or isn't possible, just that I hope that it is. I think God can do whatever God wants. Is there anything wrong with hoping that God will bring all people into God's kingdom?

I'm confused by the Christians who seemingly rejoice at the thought that some will go to hell. That isn't worth celebrating. I know all the passages about "way to the Father...", "the way, the truth, the life...". I understand that. Again, what seems to be the big deal in expressing hope that God will bring all into his kingdom? I'm not saying it's going to happen...just hoping it were so.

Lastly, all you Christians (which I profess to be one, myself), one of our faith's freedoms is that we don't have to judge whether or not another makes the cut. That happens to be Jesus' job. Thankfully, he is the one making the judgment call and not some of you.

Do religious administrators believe in religion or are they privvy to alleged truth of it being fake on some level?

Are there books, organizations, www resources where I can learn more about this theory?

I don't want to slam religion here. I just want to grasp how the system supposedly works as I hear vague references to religion being faked for sake of controlling people but I don't recall ever hearing any details.

Peace and many thanks.

and apparently they found more scriptures from the original Bible.

Do you ever think the real Bible will ever be published?
I mean the actual words?
We all know the King James version was more a "guesstimation" in translation.
