We've had a Unitarian couple (probably gay, they both look really effeminate) move in down the block. They have anti-war bumperstickers on the back of thier girlish hybid, and they're growing vegetables on thier LAWN. I DO NOT live in Berkley circa 1970, we have an understanding here about how front yards are meant to look.
How do I drive them out of the nieghborhood lovingly?

I know I'd never do it, I love my wife. We've been together for over 4 years now , and our relationship is doing fine. Everynow and then though, it seems like some cute little cashier girl or something will catch my eye, and then the sexual thoughts, and the old hormones just run wild. Like I said, I'd never do it, but am I going to hell for even thinking about sleeping with another girl?

II Samuel 12:15-20 tells the story of God killing an infant because it was the product of its parents' adultery. If you were God, would you do such a thing? Please (a) explain to me the justification for this infanticide and (b) tell me what this incident reveals about the true character of Biblegod.

And please give me a list of all sins which justify the killing of a newborn baby (not including someone else's sin of adultery, which we already know about).

I mean i know in the eyes of Christians they don't marry non-believers as they stress that they don't yoke with them as such. But how about about Catholics? Why Christians take it seriously that they just can't marry Catholics? How about inter denominations, Protestant marry a Baptist, for eg. is this possible in the eyes of their respective church?

We Catholics too believe and worship God, just that our blessed mother and saints we seek their intercessions just like i ask my brethren to pray for me. There is a tremendous misunderstanding we pray to Mother Mary and Saints as the wordings are misleading.

We don't worship statues, we just stand next to them as per memory of our loved ones, like looking at the photographs of them. The reason we ask them to pray for us because the Church verified through countless and lengthly investigations that they are in heaven, because uncurable disease has been cured due to their intercessions, given by witness after cross examination

There are those who, when talking to or about the Mormons, seem to think that having several wives would be something great! I mean, a different wife every night, and who knows what else! (wink wink) They think of it in terms of "hey, let's go to the harem room and pick out our cutie for tonight!" or something like that.

But, do they consider the practical ramifications of it?

If you have 10 wives, you get with it 10 mothers-in-law. And in many cases, 10 fathers-in-law (Son, can you support my daughter in the manner to which she's become accustomed?). None of them are going to appreciate a man who treats their daughter as sexual chattel, as well as all the others.

Second, how are you going to support them? You can't force them to work and support you. They aren't going to sit still for that! Not to mention that after a hard day's work, they aren't going to be real "frisky" at night.

Why do Christians hate homosexuals so much, claiming that their hatered is because it's "against the Bible", while they completely ignore every other sin? Why don't you tell someone who says God's name in vein that they're an abomination, like you would a gay man?

to people of any faith... i'm sure this question has been asked hundreds of time already. i understand people often change religions, but the majority of people usually stay with the religion they were born. do you think if you were born of another faith you would convert to the religion you are now? if yes, what do you think separates you from the majority of people who stay with their faith?

I believe in one God. That's it. A God that created everything that man has discovered, is currently discovering & yet to discover. I don't believe in the bible or christ as my savior. I believe God merely observes us & gave us freewill so we can decide for ourselves & make our own destiny. He doesn't intervene with our affairs. If we succeed, we do it on our own. The glory is ours alone & God wants us to feel that we don't owe Him anything for that success. If we fail, we do it by ourselves. We can't blame anyone but ourselves for that. I don't believe in heaven & in hell. I believe that our life force (soul) is a form of energy that is reborn when we die (reincarnation). Although I don't believe that we are reborn as a lower form of animal if we were "naughty" in our past life. So for I, death is constant because our "outer shell" deteriorates in time & needs to be shed whereas like I've said, our life force or soul (energy) does not undergo deterioration.

Why is the obvious so hard to understand?
Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddist....whoever.

Can you see that God is all powerful and would never need your help in the killing of someone. But they're is another one who is not allowed to kill people unless he gets to the help of other people by confusing them until they do it. Do you know his name? I don't have to say anymore Do I???

Stop saying that people should die in Gods eyes. You did not create the entire universe he did. Why would the almighty need your puny help in the slaughtering of people. They is the at the heart of all are problems in this world.

Trials & sufferings will always be part of our lives.Life without trials would be lifeless & dull.Based on my experience,during those times that the cross we are carrying seems so heavy we find that a reward is always there for us.I guess the important thing is how can we handle the pain & how we can turn a negative situation into a positive one."The Lord will never give us anything that we can't handle"
