Death Experiences, or Near Death Experiences, are increasing in popularity and have strikingly similar accounts. What’s behind it all?

The word homophobe simply means a dislike of homosexuality and this exactly describes their situation. But it has deeper roots. Some people who are attracted to others of the same sex find that this causes them great anxiety, which they externalise and blame on other people.

In the church, some celibate priests have a homosexual orientation, which they repress, but they condemn homosexuality in other people.

Other innate minority characteristics, such as left-handedness or ginger hair, do not cause comparable anxiety or scapegoating.

God's happy to be worshipped by people who are in heaven solely to avoid Hell?

(wait for it...)

At some point most of us realize that getting into heaven was not a test of what one believes or not. We grew out of fundamentalist Christianity.
In my travels here on yahoo answers i've talked to lots of christians who feel that yes, people can have a different path. At some point they outgrew this belief that all who dont believe in jesus go to hell.

When will the rest of them?

I respect those who believe I will go to hell, but just have to ask, why are there so many in mainstream Christianity, Catholic and Prodestant, who don't think I am going to hell?

What is in your heart that it is so dark that if I don't say the sinners prayer I have to be banished from the kingdom of heaven.

If you say the Bible thats fine, I know it I read it, I know the little passages in john and corinthians and romans and many of you say the fool hath said in his heart there is no god.

Does your heart honestly tell you that those who dont belief what you do go to hell? Does it really

When will well meaning fellow believers stop using the evidence of a begining which scientists labelled the "Big Bang" as a reason for contention. SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED EVIDENCE THAT POINTS TO A BEGINNING!!!! For crying out loud would it help if the scientists labelled it as something more palatable to your taste? Like maybe "In the beginning God!!!" The discovery of this evidence has led many scientists to the Lord. God SPOKE the universe into being...that sounds like a pretty good size BANG to me. Or maybe this one will work for you...In the beginning God quietly and discreetly eeeeaaasssed the world into existance. I don't think so God created this world with such a big bang that the evidence for it still reamains as the uniform background radiation that exists everywhere in the cosmos.
And if I hear one more Christian tell me that faith is something other than the place where the evidence of reason, logic and the Holy Spirit draws me...!!!! God gave me a brain to find Him!!!!

The word used in Greek in the account given by Luke can mean "boyfriend"', we know that centurions and their personal servants often had sexual relations and it is stated that the centurion was very fond of the servant. If this story does mention a gay relationship, then it confirms that Jesus was less interested in what people did rather than in their faith and love.

It looks as if caste system were created in most backward socities of some countries.The caste system was arranged in such a way that it serve the ruling class at the top in realising the total exploitation of a society. Some people from a society were picked up to define the caste rules and group of such people was fooled enough by providing it an unreal upper status but this class of people was also deprived of the right to property in the name of God and religion. The other classes like that of farmers was satisfied to find that atleast some poor people were still below them in social rank so there was a justification for getting exploited at the hands of upper classes.And ruling class, probably people who initially had no knowledge of anything, the most brave kind to protect against the wild, ferocious animals. Later enforced the caste sustem in the than most backward societies of world. Is casteism a religious or political evil?

Do you consider Religion to be something you want to do, or something you HAVE to do?
Do you think you could give it up?

Do you think you could live without it?

Where do the transgendered fit in with your belief? And do include evidence, directly quoting from the Bible, Qur'an, what ever - don't just say "read it and see", don't just say "God has condemned you". Please don't just call them all queers, fags, sick, whatever, I only want intelligent answers from intelligent people who are prepared to discuss this intelligently.

The Old Testament prohibitions against homosexuality in the Books of Leviticus (chapter 18, v.22; chapter 20 v.13) and Deuteronomy are essentially provisions of the Jewish Law. Those who base their disapproval of homosexuality on them must be prepared to state whether or not they are prepared to keep all the other provisions of jewish Law themselves don't you think.

Myself, not at all. What the Bible says about anything is selective, contradictory and liable to change in interpretation. People do not believe in " what the Bible says". People believe in traditions about what the Bible says.

Judeo-Christian tradition certainly is homophobic but whether the words of Jesus are homophobic is another matter. The various Christian theological traditions are so different from one another that they cannot be identical with the words of Jesus. The believer must decide whether the words of Jesus are more important than Christian traditions. Arguing out of Christian traditions is circular.
