Pretty much the only answer I've received on the subject is "God says it is wrong." But isn't that only their God? If I don't have a religion, and therefore gay marraige isn't against it, why should it be banned when the constitution guarentees freedom of religion? There are no logical reasons to ban it. I think the majority of those opposing it are intollerant bigots hiding behind an outdated book.

I find this interesting... My parents and nobody in my family attend church. I've never been taught to follow any kind of religion, but from as far back as i can remember (1 year old) I've always known there was some "being" watching over me, and I felt safe because of it (except when I doubt it) This is the same case for thousands of people on this devinely created planet. Christians are the most open minded.

Want to keep Christ present in CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD!

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.

Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it.

Here's the Address, just don't be rude or crude.
(It's Not the Christian Way, ya know?)

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions.. So spend 39 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a Holiday Tree. . . . It's a Christmas Tree! Also, send this to your e-mail buddies.

Yes, I'm giving up my rational atheistic beliefs and I'm going to become a thick-headed, Born-Again Christian.
If you'll all pray for me, I'm sure that when I wake up tomorrow morning I will stick with it and be a good sheep......ur christian for the rest of my life.
So, please, prove to me the power of prayer. Show me just how magically effective prayer is in changing me into a god-fearing, neo-fascist, conservative, Republican, christian goody-goody.

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering about this and the only think that I can come up with is that there is no "god", persey. But the only "god" that really exists is in the mind of the faithful.

I am an Athiest, but I leave all people be, you can believe in what you want and find answers anyway you come to your conclusion.

So when someone prays for strength, "god" gives them strength, and "their prayer is answered", so in theory, "god" has answered their prayers.

The brain is a very powerful thing and it's actually their brain giving them the courage. They pray to "god" to do something that they feel they are not strong enough to do, and "god" will answer their prayer.

So "god" is kinda like Vodka. Vodka gives people the power and courage to do things that people usually wouldn't do sober. So all these Christians and others, are really drunk off of "god"ka.

Please Drink Responsibly!

I have been seeing a vision and feeling that God can and will completely heal her. We met 18 years ago, a blind date thing. Played tennis, had no real chemisty. She got T-boned a few days later in her sports car, severe internal injuries, coma, etc. Then she came to, could only blink answers, and to this day still only blinks answers. God brought her to my mind 18 years later! I found her mom, found her, have spoken to her, have shared my faith and renewed friendship (what little there ever was) and have a deep desire to destroy the works of the devil in her life by SEEING HER HEALED COMPLETELY ! PRAISE GOD !! The faith of a few close friends, right? I have others, a local "healing team" that will come, and her mom too. This girl has had several surgeries that God would have to 100% right for her to walk again. Tonight I am looking for a specific word of knowledge from some spirit filled person in this forum, please. I have offered up this prayer, and wait for His anointed...

and what do they think about Christmas, for that matter...? just curious, not judging anyone

O.k....I just asked a form of this question and asked "Why is God thought to be Male ?" Many answers stated " because the bible says " He " etc. So, I'll re-ask this way . . . God is formless, God is Love, God is Truth, God is the Light, etc. All of the statements in that last sentence is genderless. Would'nt God be genderless ? Why the necessity to state God to be male ? The bible was written by men of those times who heard the Word of God, but they did'nt see Him. Why was God written to be male ? Truly wondering. And, by the way, of course "it's not of importance to know" as one wrote. I am aware of that. Just truly wondering how
God came to be known as He (male).

THE ENEMY
BY
ed-mike mertell

I read about them in the newspapers. I saw and heard about them on the radio and T.V.. The Russians; how they wanted to take over the world, how they wanted to destroy my country with nuclear bombs, how they were against freedom, God, and democracy. So, I feared them, and soon I hated them. I knew in my heart it was either them or me. I joined the army, so that one day I might be able to conquer, and or kill the enemy.
Then the wall in Berlin fell, and the Soviet Union disintegrated. I met a Russian in school and I talked to him and him to me. He told me of his life in his distant land. I came to understand that he was just a man. Not all good, but not all bad, he was just a man like me. He loved his God and his family. I realized that this man although from a very different country than me, this Russian was still my brother, not my enemy.
I read about them in the newspapers. I saw and heard about them on the radio and the T.V.. The poor; they were rioting in Las Angeles. They smoked crack and were shiftless and lazy. They robbed good hard working people, and lived off the government for free. So, I feared them, and soon I hated them. I knew in my heart it was either them or me. I bought a gun, so if confronted I could conquer, and or kill the enemy.
Then one day I lost my job, and soon after I lost my car. Waiting for a bus one morning I met a poor man, and I talk to him and him to me. He told me of his life which was filled with mishaps and tragedy. I came to understand that he was just a man. Not all good, but not all bad, he was just a man like me. He loved his God and his family. I realized that this man although far less fortunate than even me, this poor man was still my brother, not my enemy.
I heard a man speak from a soap box in the park. He said, “Don’t believe what you read in the newspapers, or what you see and hear on the radio or T.V.. These things are owned by the rich, and they use them to fool us with lies. They oppress the masses. They live off the sweat of good hard working people, leaving them to live in poverty. They ruin the world with their selfishness and greed. So, I feared them, and soon I hated them. I knew in my heart it was either them or me. I joined a revolutionary movement, so that one day I might conquer and or kill the enemy.
As in every revolutionary movement, we needed a political basis, and a financial on as well. At a fund raiser I met a rich man, and I talked to him and him to me. He told me of his life; of his upward climb, of his hopes and fears, of his pride, and inadequacies. I came to understand that he was just a man. Not all good, but not all bad, he was just a man like me. He loved his God and his family. I realized that this man although far more fortunate than me, this rich man was still my brother, not my enemy.
Now, I no longer believe everything I read in the newspapers, or everything I see and hear on the radio or T.V.. I’m not in the army. I don’t carry a gun. I don’t belong to any revolutionary movements, but I now know the enemy. It’s not the Russians, the poor, or even the rich. It’s inside of you and me. Only understanding and love will ever conquer the fear, and the hate, and finally kill the enemy!
