Was my wearing a fifty percent cotton shirt the other day (Deuteronomy 22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.) as bad as Adolf Hitler's genocide?

Just wondering if I should call the Hague and schedule my war crimes trial.

P.S. Don't tell me that it doesn't count if it's in the old testament, if God is perfect, his rules can't be obsolete. Plus the New Testament says that every last bit of the old testament is still in effect (Mat 5:18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.)

The reason they call themselves Christian in the first place rather than something else is because they reject Judaism which focuses only on the Law of the OT and none of the NT. Why not just call themselves Jewish or a form of? Jesus himself says he came to fulfill the Law which means they aren't required to follow it to the fullest extent anymore. Thus many of the required practices from the OT that God said must be followed or else, people insist don't apply to them at all. If all anyone does is pick and choose what applies to them and what doesn't, why follow a religion in the first place? If you're going to do that, then why not just create a different religion, give it a different name and don't group yourself with what you don't believe in? Meaning don't say "I'm (fill in the blank) but I have my own version of it."

Donnie Davies has produced and publicized this incredibly homophobic, religious music video.

Is this an elaborate satirical hoax, or have we really come to this level of Nazi-esque art?

My sister did her first communion and Catechism, but I never did. I attended Church through out High School w/a friend of mine and a close family member. I would like to get married in that church, it's a Catholic Church and I would like to get married as a Catholic. Neither my fiance or I did first communion or anything else for that matter, can we still get married in the Catholic Church?

How many of you just have faith for no reason other than loving God? I bet most of you are doing it out of either fear or greed.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I am genuinely curious about this. Have you ever known anyone to claim they were either a prostitute, a murderer or a slave owner in a past life?

The Good News, a term popularized by the fundamentalists Christian groups and used to spread the word that the only salvation from Hell was through Jesus Christ, has been found to have addition meanings, like this one:

You don't have to risk going to Hell when you die because there is no life after death.

Pretty KOOL huh?

Wouldn't it be awesome if some true believer brought a whip in to church and just started whipping the spit out of them and screaming "MONEY CHANGERS!!!"

If it's so great, why are you sad when a loved one dies? Do you envy them? Envy is a sin. Would you deny them the opportunity to go to Heaven just so they could stay on Earth with you? Is it that, in the back of your mind, there is doubt about the existence of Heaven? You claim to believe in it 100%, so why not be happy for your loved one who is called home?
