Does anyone know of any bishops or other clergymen involved in any drunken incidents, or just general alcoholism? This can be recently (eg. Bishop of Southwark, Gene Robinson re: rehab etc), historic or comedic (eg Bishop of Bath and Wells)

Any answers at all would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

I got in a conversation a few days ago with someone from here commeding me on "defending atheism" (which I don't really try to do, but OK) but then went on to ask if I really believed all that "pagan nonsense" I had professed elsewhere. I was tired and got defensive, which I later felt bad about...and then I didn't feel so bad. Whoever it was didn't treat me any differently than someone trying to convert me to their religion--and this person professed to be an atheist. The excuse of "concern for your soul" didn't work here--this person was obviously bothered and possibly offended by my beliefs, for no apparent reason I could see...I don't think my beliefs hurt anyone; I have no lobbyists in Washington petitioning for law changes because of my beliefs. I don't press them on anyone. For the life of me, I can't get why this bothered this person so much.

Aside from someone pressing their beliefs on you (in any fashion, be it legally, personally, or even violently) or committing crimes in the name of religion...why would it bother you if someone held different beliefs than you?

As a non-Muslim my temper was explosive and moody. As a Muslim, I am still moody, but my temper has become quite calmed.... God is the key for me, because my raw nature is explosve, but Islam has calmed this side of me. I think we re all capable of evil, but controlling onself is always a good option.... instead of fighting... what do you think? Are you evil?

the known verse in Leviticus

Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman.

So according to that the Bible forbids male anal sex.

It dose not forbid two men having sexual fealings for one another.
It dose not forbid for them to have a relationship

the only thing it says is that the two should not have anal sex.

so where dose the Bible say that being gay is wrong?

“If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) .................................................................................
......Being a Christian is not just a matter of getting something; it's a matter of being someone. A Christian is not simply a person who gets forgiveness, who gets to go to heaven, who gets the Holy Spirit, who gets a new nature. A Christian, in terms of our deepest identity, is a saint, a spiritually born child of God, a divine masterpiece, a child of light, a citizen of heaven. Being born again transformed you into someone who didn't exist before. What you receive as a Christian isn't the point; it's who you are. It's not what you do as a Christian that determines who you are; it's who you are that determines what you do (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Peter 2:9, 10; 1 John 3:1, 2).

I am talking about the Eve in the book of Genesis in the Bible. Wasn't she shocked when she found out that her tummy is getting bigger? How did she knew when the time for giving birth has come?
