opoly of men? What does Celibacy subliminally say about Women? Isn't that Blasphemy, or Defamation of character? Anyone know the E-mail addr. for the Vatican, so I can slap the Pope in the face myself, with these Qs? Please hurry before my Q dive bombs from the top page. Thank you.

when tradition and scripture contradict each other why do you side with a man made tradition over God's Word in scripture?
The pharisees of Jesus's days did this same thing

...with my faith and religion? I have some things that bother me about my faith; namely, the hard stance it takes on sexuality. I think human beings are highly sexual and propogate towards a sexual life. Not that sex is everything, because it isn't, but why is it that we have a difficult time comming to terms with it? I have a vivid imagination and have intense dreams, especially at night, regarding sex, but feel incredibly guilty in the morning. Why?

What do you make of all this?

I keep hearing this claim from Christians in US that while freedom OF religion is my right, it by no means should be interpreted as freedom FROM religion.
What does that supposed to mean? Are you implying that even though I'm free to choose any religion I want, I still MUST to pick one or I may be forced to do so???

Evolutionists evolved into stronger human beings and Creationist missed the boat during the flood.

Fair enough? Everybody happy? Time to move on to more important subjects then?

If god didn't want us to have knowledge of good and evil, then why did he make a tree that produced fruit that gave somebody such knowledge? If you say "Man has free will, so God put it there to see if whether or not we would obey him," well, since that particular tree served no other purpose other than as a source of temptation, I deduce that your god is nothing but a sadistic being. Also, this totally contradicts the popular belief that god doesn't tempt people to do evil (at least that's what Christian say when they talk about this part of the Lord's prayer: "and lead me not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"). And if god can see the future, then he knew that creating such a tree would produce the results that it did, so why did he act so surprised at what Adam and Eve did.

You have been invited to the following weddings by various friends and colleges (and what a variety you have). Your schedule does permit that you can attend them all. Would you? And if not, which ones would you attend and not attend, and why?

1. A Hindu ceremony
2. A Buddist ceremony
3. A Methodist Wedding
4. A Catholic Wedding and mass (I think Catholics are the only ones that offer a mass as part of the weddings)
5. A Pagan/Wiccan handfasting
6. An Atheist civil ceremony and reception. (this is the only thing I could think of for an atheist, if it's wrong, then I"m sorry)

Would you go to all six, or pick and choose? Please, tell me why.

Does God command things because they are right, or are things right because God commanded them? I do not believe that God commands anyone, but I am interested to know how others view this. Does God make things right or wrong by saying so, or does God know that certain things are intrinsicallly right or wrong, and tell us so?

If it's not about seeking the truth,

Why do you use "faith" in debates about if God exist or not?

i mean the real story behind it? do any of you? or do those of you that claim this is so horrible to do on "christs birthday" not understand?

if you ask any biblical scholar he will tell you christ was NOT born in december.

most christmas traditions derive from pagan traditions. so why do you lie to your kids and tell them its christs birthday when its obviously not?
