some black, hispanic, white, gay, straight, and the christian faith does not tolerate some? Look into the past for christian racial discrimination. It seems we are not created equal, so god must be a bastard. How can you believe when this is fact, we are born different and have to fight against different opponents. Shouldn't we all have had a fair chance? Bring on the scripture!!!

First and foremost I want to state that I respect all beliefs but I stand strongly by my own. I am, however, completely open to debate/discussion..I am Lutheran, but respect what others believe entirely.

I got many answers to my previous question which is located here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061012160056AAzS5WN&r=w

And recieved many answers from those who were non-denominational Christians. I want to look outward and learn more about Christiannity to help others and strengthen my own faith.I'm curious about how you've come to be non-denominational, what it's like, why you like it, etc...Thank you for your time. God bless!

A little Christian humor for a change

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly, God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They mouse.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed. Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
"It's gone! It's all GONE! "I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said,

"JESUS SAVES."

its not just babies in limbo but suicides and drug dead as well ,
what is limbo? ITS WHEN YOUR SOUL IS YET attatched to your body thus not able to fully awake into heaven OR hell
at angel fire website there is a story sent down from hell about a dude who died,i think its called wanderer in spirit lands
or here and here after ,one or both describe residents ,souls of the passed over ,who cant awake
in the hell version they sleep in a cave
in the heaven version they sleep on couches
BUT they all are in limbo ,and im trying to convince the pope to back me up..yeah rite ,they think its crazy and so it is
but there is a surplus of good angels occupied in watching over them
thats why there is so much evil at this time ,all the good are doing good loving works and the evil are not able to be watched ,
tell john laws or the pope to read what im sending
limbo is over when we follow the cure outlined in one of the stories
but its so crazy burning long" dead" good spirits first .

The world is on fire today.
Blazing colors all around.
The cool wind kisses my face.
So much beauty to be found.I
feel at peace with this season.
It brings my soul such peace.
I watch the squirrels gather nuts.
I sigh in sweet release.
Fall bids us walk a calmer pace.
Reminds us life is dear.
That we should take time to love.
And to spread that love down here.

Peace Be With You,
Debra

Mine would be called The Order of the Purple Panties.

Men are welcomed to join, but they must wear the sacred purple panties at our communion of the Purple Panties.

The Purple Panty Goddess lives on a planet the size of Jupiter, but Earth-like. She has come to Earth to show us the joy of purple panties, love, and the sacred feminine within all. Both male and female.

All females are goddesses. Men are to submit.

The Purple Panty is a symbol of the Goddess within, and the spiritual power within all that is capable of profound love, peace, harmony and gentleness.

Women are the only ones allowed to become High Initiates. Men are welcome to serve any other spiritual roles.

in one of my dreams last night. i dreamt he was in my bed, and he was forcing me to straighten my arms, then, from what i can remember, he was like trying to tickle me, :S.

i know this isnt really religion, but him being who he is, it seems more appropriate than in society nd culture.

i'm just starting to believe in god, could this be why, as religion has been on my mind alot lately.

he was red skinned, and very muscular.

it scared me abit.

Alot of the hastle around the world is being agravated by religious fanatics on all sides, and the sciences are being held back in many ways by people who say that "playing god" is blasphemous.

Would it be sufficient to separate religion from politics, and allow decisions to be made on purely moral and ethical grounds? (yes it is possible to have morals and ethics without god)

Does that mean that a layperson like you or me that goes to Heaven could be kicked out for some reason?

Think about it. When Lucifer was in Heaven, he was one of the most powerful angels. If he could screw up and get kicked out, does that mean that a common person could to? After all, in his time, he did outrank the common person.

These organizations come on tv and tell me to give money to these poor starving kids who need medicine and food, and wanna go to school. I'm not trying to be heartless but what about America? Why do these people have children overseas if they themselves are "starving" and "homeless". I get offended when our own people are doing without and these people cant keep there clothes on and are making children and then beg for my money!! If you are hungry yourselves...WHY ARE YOU HAVING MORE CHILDREN?!! Then I watch tv and this guy comes on, holding this little mexican girl or indian or whatever they are and tell me I should give money!! I will send them condoms and brith control pills! Thats what they need! Our own country is doing without and I use birth control to keep from having kids...why cant these stupid people do the same?!!

Are the things which are ingested during Roman Catholic communion really the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ?

1. If they are:

Can the DNA code for Jesus be ascertained from an examination of the substances? Can his race, skin color, eye color be discovered? Can it be discovered if he were only one-half human and one-half God? Did he have predispositions to any genetic diseases or abnormalities?

2. If they are not:

Why do you need a priest to "change" these things into the flesh and blood of Jesus if they in fact do not change at all? Why can't one commune with his God simply by eating Triscuits and drinking wine?
