This was my answer to a teenager who admitted she was a recent convert to the Mormon Church and was asking for help getting accepted at BYU with a 1.0 average at a 2 year college: I would suggest you re-think your conversion to the Mormon church which is a false cult. And to your less important question, without a 3.0 average at a 2 year college most 4 year colleges won't want you. Pastor Art

I was told by Yahoo that I violated their Community Standards.

Why?

It's not just evolution! This is only the area of science that most blatantly gives lie to the Genesis myth. There's radiometric dating that puts the age of the universe well over 6000 years. There's astronomy, biology and in particular the recent discoveries in DNA and genetic engineering. All these areas of science at worst completely contradict and at best cast doubt on much of the bibles nonsense stories.

Why is that when someone else reads the Bible and they come away from it as being complete fact, that I read it and see it as a lot of myth and fabrication...even more, why then does the person before me that read it not just understand I may just see things differently instead of going on and on about how I "missed" out on things...or didn't see the truth...or I need to accept jesus in my heart and then read it...ect. ect.

I always thought Jesus was a good kind of guy. No i'm not being sarcastic here. Hear me out.
If Judas didn't turn Jesus in, he never would have been sacrificed to allow people into heaven. Right?
Jesus knew early in the game that he would have to not only give up his life but suffer terribly to compensate for the sins of man. And he knew who would deliver him to the romans.
And Judas felt so horrible about what he did that he commited suicide. EVEN Though. IF he hadn't done what he did no one on earth would have the possibility of heaven.
And Juda wasn't the only one to deny a relationship with Jesus and infact Jesus told the people before hand not to wory about denying him, but to focus on his teachings and spread the gospel after he was gone.
So out of curiosity-not out of spite nor anger or Zealousy. How should he be defined?

Mere Christianity didn't make it that way. Remember we are suppose to not be realistic. Per your opinion, we live in la la land.

Please only catholics. I understand that the wife might do it under stress then repent, but if she isnt sorry should the man be able to get a anulment under this circumstance, because she might to it again. Arn't unrepentant sinners automatically excommunicated for serious sins? If I'm wrong about the facts I'm sorry.

Is there a human incapable of Fear? Or incapable of expressing it in any of those ways if sufficiently fearful?

Isn't Fear that which opposes Love? Do we not promote bigotry, hatred, persecution and oppression -precisely- because all of those things will obstruct Love?

And isn't Love that which unites us in common cause? Isn't Love the basis for all trust, all honesty, all self-sacrifice and compassion towards others.

Isn't Love why we tend the sick?

Is there anyone incapable of Love or Fear, given sufficient cause?

If the church loves people so much, why do they hoard all of those pretty, expensive things? Why don't they sell off some of those million dollar paintings and feed some orphans?

Before getting angry at a question, take a deep breath and relax. We might learn more if we weren't so offended.

Ribs protect the thoracic organs, whereas his coccyx really serves no purpose. Why would God make Eve from a rib and leave Adam vulnerable?
