I would like to know your views on why religion must play such a large role in everything that we do? Why rules that only exist to a certain group of people should be applied to everyday decisions?

And most importantly, why must the christians always mention "god" is the reason for everything when those who think differently choose not to because it might offend those with different beliefs?
(This is a legitimate question, not ment to offend or brew hatred.
Just a few questions I know many would like to know the answers to.)

I have been a Baptist all my life and basically believe everything I have been taught. I will be getting married this November in the Baptist Church but have been told that I will not be allowed to dance with my new husband at the reception, nor will guests be allowed to dance. I have NO chip on my shoulder, I just want to know if there are other Baptist Churches out there that allow dancing at wedding receptions and what part of the U.S. they are located.

I have the question above and the answer below.
I would recommend everyone to go and watch the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) animation. We can learn the history of Islam and how it started.
.
One of the best movie that I have ever seen. Actually it is an animation, approved by the Islamic University of Al-Azhar in Egypt.
.
The pictures of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are not shown, due to respect and the high status he has.
.
Please watch...............please be respectful for your comments and answer, as I respect YOU and YOUR religion.
Thanks.
Appreciate that.

Genesis 6
The Flood
1 "When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal [b] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. "

-------------------------------------------my father said 3 main possibilities that theologians believe are: angels had children with human women. Christian men had children with non-christian women. or they were a kind of giant that were wiped out after the flood

We constantly hear from the fundamentalists that we have to put God back into the classroom or other places. How can we lowly human beings take God out of any place that He wants to be? It's absurd. If God wants to be in the classroom, then I figure He's gonna be there.

I'm talking specifically about politics here.

I just don't understand what the Jesus freaks (aka Evangelicals aka the Christian Right) want from the US government that they don't already have?

You already have the right to worship freely and love Jesus as you choose.
You have the right to pray anywhere you want. Including in school.
You don't have to get abortions if you don't want to.
You are free to worship as you choose.

So what more do you want?

Why do you want to pass laws forcing other people to obey Christianity? Can't you understand that not everyone is a Christian and not everyone wants to live by your Christian rules?

Why do you have to force your opinions upon other people?

Why can't you just do your thing and leave the rest of us alone?

Please explain this to me, because I just don't get it.

All I see is you trying for force your opinions on people who just don't want it. I don't care what you do. It's your life. Just don't tell me what to do.

Tonight, as I was peacefully watching Keith Olbermann's always entertaining show, I could not help but be drawn to the television by The Passion of the Cruise. It says that some Scientologists are referring to Tom Cruise as the new Jesus. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? I thought it was great.

The bible is a source of information for many things good insights, knowledge and being able to predict the future!!! Using a matrix code in the bible there are in a sense encrypted messages. Things like Adolf hitler holocaust. John F kennedy assainated by sniper. Martin L king killed. Osama bin ladden twin towers, Saddam even to prediciting the end of the world. The bible says when decoded 2007 asteriod will destroy everything, although there is also something that says God will save us from the asteriod. If you dont belive we watch decoding the bible on the history channel whats your thoughts
