No super-anti-mormon stuff please, just what do you think is the funniest way to offend a mormon or say something that they might take the wrong way?

I have had a lot of trouble with my parents accepting my fiancee, they do not like him and some times say things that are not nice. The other night my mom told me things she did not want me to discuss with him. My question is do I honor her or do I honor him and by being honest? Thank you for your time God bless you

The bible says you must accept Jesus as your personal saviour in order to go to Heaven.
There are many primitive tribes of people who have never heard of Christianity or Jesus, or even know America exists.
It seems wrong for them to go to Hell, because no one ever told them about Jesus.
Do you believe they go to heaven or hell?

When a question like "If you had a gay child, would you attend their wedding?"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgFnbr_cSHwobFYs05up8nTsy6IX?qid=20060619195433AATOQm1
gets answers that state:

"if i had a gay child.... i dont think he/she wud ever see the day when he is at the age to marry"

" I would never have a gay child. I would set his/her *** straight"

" I wouldn't attend the wedding. i would disown them"

" I would disown my child if I found out he/she were gay"

" Hate the sin, love the sinner is correct, but i wouldnt allow them to go thru with it"

How should i even still respect your religion? These sort of people deserve no respect. it's as simple as that. There is no excuse for opinions like that.

Please give me one reason why i should bring myself to respect a religion that creates opinions like the above stated??

19 " 'Keep my decrees.
" 'Do not mate different kinds of animals.
" 'Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
" 'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

20 " 'If a man sleeps with a woman who is a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

So this is from Leviticus Chapter 19 verse 19 and 20, so God is saying that if you wear clothes made from different material its a sin, but so is being gay.

So why aren't Christians trying to ban marriage between people who wear clothes of different material.

Did these Christians who want to ban gay marriage pick and choose from the Bible

According the the second Commandment in both hebrew and Protestant it says:

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

IRAQ WAR > American troops ( approx all are Christians) have killed 40 thousand (40,000) Muslim casualties reported and 200,000 (200 thousand) innocent Muslim civilians injured, on the basis of Weapons of Mass destruction, which has not yet been found in Iraq.(http://www.iraqbodycount.net/)
Afghanistan war >>>>Estimates suggest US bombs have killed at least 3,767 innocent Muslim civilians in Afghanistan, on the basis of Osama bin laden, whose involvement is not yet proved behind 9/11 attacks. Condoleeza Rice, in front of media, claimed on 23th september 2001 that America have proofs of involvement of bin laden behind 9/11 attacks. The whole world is STILL waiting for that proofs. >>> Isn't IT TERRORISM? If not, then what's terrorism?( Http://www.cursor.org/stories/... )
From such high massacre done by Christian community, we can easily conclude that Christians are terrorists.

Yes- studies have shown some people are in fact born gay. Hormone deficiencies are a main cause to this. I'm pro-gay, choice, whatever. I'm just curious as to why, if God loves us so much, would he condemn those that he has created...? When I used to go t ochurch, I was taught to love all and hate none. I was taught to forgive and love my neighbor as myself. I still hold true to these values, even if I do not agree with the church.

Although the scandals tend to get blown up and out of proportion by the media (not making excuses for the guilty ones), the Catholic Church never said that it didn't have sinners, and neither did Jesus ever promise that sinners would not be in His Church. In fact, scandal was with the Church from the beginning. The biggest scandal was Jesus (God in the flesh) being tortured and murdered for no good reason, and His apostles scattering with one denying knowing Him and another being the one to betray Him.

But if you believe what it says in the bible:

- that Jesus is God and that God's wisdom is above our own

-that Jesus gave His authority to His Church, and in particular to Peter and his successors (the popes), to teach in all matters of faith and morals

Then why not be Catholic if the teachings of the Catholic Church are true?

This is an excellent link that I have found:

May God bless you.

I don't know how the first Pope came to be. I took a Christian History class a while ago, but I don't remember if we even discussed it. Also, how many Popes have there been? I really want to know. No rude answers, I'm just curious. Thanks!
