Sorry for the change in subject. But can anyone figure out why a person would get a rash at the start of winter: weeds, fungus, ????

at least in the bible that i've seen the 4th commandment says:

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

so why some religions rest on sunday?, i've heard that the pope changed the commandment...so it would mean that he has more power than God?...

If anybody knows, please let me know :D

From the middle east (yes the US is there, but not under the banner of Christianity) they kill each other Sunni/Shiite (Jihad vs. Jihad who is the infidel), in Africa with Somalia and soon to be Ethiopia, don't for get the Balkans a few years back... sounds like Islam means war.

This seems to be a recurring theme in the untra-conservative ring. before it was the slaves, then it was women, and then black people (who were called "God ordained minorities" by Jerry Falwell). Now its the Muslims and the homosexuals. to me, these groups are just another target of the Christian right. it doesnt even matter if homosexuality is a sin...they still should be discriminated against. Christians are supposed to love the sinner, but hate the sin. but this obviously is not followed, at least in my area. Im from South Carolina where most everybody is Southern Baptist. how can they love the sinner when they do not allow them into the churches. how can they help them (if they indeed need help) if they are not welcome in the church. it makes no sense to me.

And the Muslims get a bad rap from the extremist, like those involved in 9-11. those are the same people as those who blow up abortion clinics...they dont represent the group as a whole. yet muslims are feared

Christians are dumb because they base their belief on faith, which means, be stupid and don't question anything you're told. The church has to say that because otherwise, the Bible becomes a crock, with many inconsistencies and many things that simply do not make sense.

will you practice that with the terrorists
terrorists are head chopper
you only have a head,if you are beheaded by head choppers,you can't have another head
will you practice what jesus taught you?
i don't think jesus wanted that
in some species of lizard,their tails can be detached,the tails will grow back again
if you have this ability-that your head can be detached and another head are gonna grow back on your neck-then your god will have no problem with "turn the other cheek"

I know Mormons and strict Therevada Buddhism, but I have heard of others, which I can't recall. What are they? Or do some just discourage getting drunk?

Or does he only give those things to other people?

That is impossible, Christians are the majority. They ought to try being the only Buddhist in their social circle and see how they feel.

Not one single church teaches and practices ALL that is in the bible since it contains so many contradictory teachings. Churches just pick and choose what to teach and preach and ignore the rest of it. That's why there are so many different denominations with so many different contradictory teachings and practices. It all started with the bible.

If God is the all knowing, all seeing, everlasting light and the origin of mankind, why can't he speak English?

I think that God (however you identify with IT/HIM/HER/THEM) speaks to us all the time. I think the thing that divides humanity is the way in which we interpret him. Can God be a Objective Being(s) or Force (s) that is subject to interpretation by Subjective human beings? If yes, thumbs up. If No, thumbs down.
In your reply, tell me if you identify with God as a being/conscious entity or a force that has no human attributes. If you have a novel idea of what God is, I'd love to hear it.

I have to make a costume for our Christmas play at our church (United). When I looked, I found Mary dressed both ways. Which should I do?



I have been asked to make this and I need help. Helpful suggestions only please! I have white and blue fabric...if I need something else, let me know.


This is all symbolic, I know. I don't want to show up at the Church with a historically accurate costume that no one of 2006 will understand.

What do most people see her as wearing. This isn't a religious philosophic question. Just a simple Church play looking for a Mary that everyone can identify.

I can see it in "my questions", but it never appeared here.
Has this happened to anyone else?

See The Gospel of John, Chapter 8, verse 23. Wasn't He a man like us? He ate, and slept, and cried, and died.

Meaning, to be a man that your friends, family, church and strangers can respect, but at the same time being the same man when no one except God is watching that you are in public.
