Do you believe that famous televangelists should be held to a higher standard because of their fame? I ask this in light of the Ted Haggard scandal.

Deuteronomy 21:20
"and they shall tell the elders of his city, "This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard."
Deuteronomy 21:21
"All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."

Exodus 21:7
"If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do."

Exodus 35:2
"Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to Yahweh: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death."

1 Corinthians 11:14
"Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears his hair long it is a shame unto him?"

If you believe that your god is infallible, you can't throw out some of the rules, just because you don't like them.

Last week Pastor Ted Haggard admitted to sexual misconduct and the purchase of illegal drugs. Will forgive him because he is a christian or hold him to his wrong doings?

Help me out please..Christianity is broken down into many smaller denominations, right?. What are the major differences? For ex: Catholics believe in a pope, confession, anti-gay marriage, anti-birth control, etc. What do Methodist, Protestants, Presbyterians believe? I'm leaving the Catholic church, and want to find a new christian denomination, but don't know which suit me. Thanks. What is their stance on Baptising our baby?

What is ``good´´ about it?
What purpose does it serve?
As a person disinclined to faith, do I even have the option of exploring it?
It seems that all I could do is pretend, which would not really be faith.

One of my best friends said that she cant talk to me because im an athiest. Am I wrong for being an athiest or is she wrong for being judgmental? I mean its not like I bashed Christianity or anything I just dont believe it. I explained this to her and she still wont speak to me. Should I still try to be her friend(cuz I miss her) or should I just forget her.

I'd like examples like..., 'MUSIC is in the middle of the musician and the instrument', or... 'the SUNRISE and the SUNSET is in the middle of night and day' etc... I have thought of this question for many years and would love to hear any new ideas, even just the single word for an answer. I think something in the middle is always what we think is beautiful? I am interested to know your opinion of why this would be too. And also if you are a Christian too! Thanks.

If so, how do you worship a God who allows the rape of women in his name. There are countless verses in the bible where God ordered Moses to kill and plunder complete villages and take all the women they wanted as their own.

Here are a list of a number of bible passages that describe the kidnapping and rape of women in God's name.

If so then why do you find it so difficult to understand that others might have a different point-of-view?

If it makes you angry or upset to hear others disagree with you, why do think you react this way?

I don't know exactly when the Bible, Koran,Torah, Bhagavad Gita etc. were written. I don't know if anyone really does. But religious texts like that are usually very very old. They were written in a time that is very differnt than our own. People today don't live in the same way as people back then. Don't you think that makes religious texts sort of outdated as instructions manuals on how we ought to think, believe and behave?

"The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to undestand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to undestand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testaments and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say,if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world? Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church's prodigious invention to defend itself agaisnt the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes, it is even dreaful to be alone with the New Testament."

if atheists change their names and come back on the forum to ask sensitive questions about faith under an "assumed" name because they are truly searching for answers?
