I live in Utah, so yea, there are mormon churches every minute you drive. They all look the same, with a big pointy thing on the top. Other churches have a cross, symbolizing Christ, who died for our sins. What does the long poing represent?

I am Christian, but not a Catholic. Christianity is a big religion. Catholic falls under one of the subgroups of Christianity. Although some believe it's actually a whole nother religion. It is only because it's the biggest, and wealthiest subgroup today. It's the most dominant and it has the money and the political power. Some say it's the dogma of the religion.

I don't know what I fall under, since I dont go to church. How exactly does one know if your a baptist? luthern, protestant, etc?

What do you think of Catholics? They have so many traditions, and rituals i'm not aware of. They seem to have their own humanly laws. They pray to Mary or something. I don't know. Who's right who's wrong? Am I bad for not being a Catholic?

Alright do you think having sex before marriage is alright/normal or a sin. A part of me wants to wait until I'm married because of what God said. Another part of me sais that times have changed and I really do think God would change things like virginity. If i lost it to someone I cared about a lot before marriage would that be bad? This is an interesting question b/c many of those devoted will bring answers, along with those who beleive in god but have different views due to the fact times have changed. My parents are strongly devoted to God and we pray to him all the time, but even my Dad said practice safe sex cuz he knows times have changed. Jesus was here 2000 years ago, there wasn't a population of over 1 billion, with girls walking around in bikinis and new rules with relationships. Im also going to Cancun, and there have been instances where I meet a girl and we have lots in common and she is sweet but I just don't do it. What do you think about tradition vs. times today

Is there something I can say or pray? Should a minister or a counselor intervene? Should I just leave it alone and let it (hopefully) work itself out? I have certainly learned that strife is such a bad sin.

In the last year or so I've developed a really bad habit of swearing and occasionally saying vulgar things in a joking manner. When I'm around other people, I would really like to be a good example of a Christian, but sometimes it's like I just blurt things out even if I'm thinking at that very moment that I shouldn't! How can I clean up my act and learn to control my language around others?

Having worked with many LDS people over the years, there is a question I have really wanted to ask but have not . Are members in management postions openly encouraged to promote other Mormons, or does it just happen that way?? I have noticed MANY times over the years that certain people have been promoted that were CLEARLY not the best choice for the jobs but did share the common religious beliefs. Let me clear that this has not happened to me personally, just an observation that me and my non-LDS coworkers have made at times. I know that Mormons are encouraged to take care of their own in other areas (mentally, emotionally, finacially, etc.) which I think is awesome, just curious if this is a "suggested" practice?

Last Sunday night, our church had a free showing to the community of the movie "facing the giants". My best friend went up at the end to our youth pastor who was standing with the pastor and a deacon. My friend prayed with our youth pastor but did not ask the Lord into his life.... But he thinks he got saved just because he went to the pulpit. HOW SHOULD I TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

has humanity finally understood that GOD could not care less which path you take, or which title you use when talking - All ideas and concepts of GOD are correct. So we, humanity can stop killing each other over these issues, and work on advancing our spiritual identity so as a people we can reach heaven and be in the pressence of GOD?

I just think that Christians, especially have become overwelmingly intrusive to its everyday citizens. They invade our schools trying to bring prayer back, and teach creationism, (even though creationism isn't Science), have people like Roy Moore put the 10 commandments in a court house, and have judges being fired for Bushes religious right. I just think its hipocritical, since religion should be a universal appeal, and respect everyone who wishes to believe differently, rather then tell everyone else they are going to hell if they don't believe. Christians are so quick to judge others, but not when it comes to themselves. I think gays should have atleast same sex Unions, but we have people like Ted Haggard saying Gays are the Devil, yet paid for gay sex from a prostitute. If you are going to be a hipocrite, why don't you just go out and say so, rather then hide behind your religion to back you up ?

I heard religions like Islam are appropriate for medevial times, where there was supression, racism, and dominance based on the religious affiliations. Given the fact that we have become more civilized, should we reinvent religions and delete texts that are violent (and not applicable now, like things that do not support evoluion)?

when thinking about the reward of heaven or being sent to hell? NO HUMAN knows what is your reward - only GOD decides this.
Yet, so many ask this. If your doing your honest best - GOD knows this right? In a life, with all the stresses and temptations, here on Earth, no human should abuse another into thinking less of themselves.

Did god make man so screwed up that he cannot hear the 'true' word of God? Every religion that exists today and every one that has existed throughout history has professed that THEIRS is the only true religion. Did god come to Earth as Zeus once? Was god just looking for some diversity or is it just a childish game to see who will follow the 'right' religion? I'm sure many denominations of Christianity would REALLY like to know that they're worshipping the 'wrong' God, don't you?
