I'm trying..honest I am!..I'm trying to keep an open mind but no matter what anyone posts it just sounds SO far fetched. WHY do some people take it as "gospel" and others just don't.
I'm getting more and more convinced it's just how you are brought up.

here are quoting. I was trying to prove to the world and myself that I was not gay.

I wonder if the fundies today who are so vocal and obsessed with homosexuality are the most tempted by it...and in an effort to turn eyes away from their own lives, point their fingers to avoid looking inside themselves?

Why do you think fundies are so anti-gay? Especially considering all of the other sins in the Bible that people seem to be committing every day...divorce, gluttony, bankruptcy/stealing, etc...why do they focus so heavily on gays?

Many progressive churches are taking a new look at homosexuality and the Bible and are changing their positions...

Why are fundies so afraid of this change...much like the Southern Baptists who were once afraid of freeing the slaves....they thought slavery ordained by God.

Will fundies see the light a hundred years from now?

I have my own theory that Jesus practiced witchcraft. I'm not talking about the evil kind of witchcraft like spells and potions and stuff like that. I mean more like white magic (the good kind of witchcraft) I am not a big believer in miracles.

I am always told that God has our lives planned out and it is already written. I guess I don't understand what our purpose of living is then. So we really don't have a choice in our lives as how to live them? Why stress over anything then, why try? Whatever happens, happens?? So if someone is a rapist or murderer that is how they were created? If God knows this before they are born why put them here? If someone falls in love only to have that person die or leave them why put us through the suffering? If he already knows a child will die when they are little why make the parents go to church & pray and suffer? Isn't it fair to say that praying is silly if the fate is already chosen? Why try to be safe at night if he already knows you are or are not??

I'm not looking for a bunch of people to get on here & be nasty just an honest question for an honest answer. Please remember that when believers and non-believers are so rude and immature it really makes no one listen to you.

This is a cop-out answer! Do you theists/Christians really need to protect your little God by putting the blame on free will and/or Satan?

Just wondering if you have any doubts or questions about the groups that do church presentations; and if those who say they promote intelligent design in schools are doing anything 'real'.

Can you find me a decription of purgatory in the KING JAMES BIBLE? Do not bring LIMBO into this bc that has to do with the place where the saints went befor they enter into heaven befor Christ died. Give me 2 or more scriptures to prove purgatory.
Additional Details

I will only say this one more time... PLEASE ONLY USE THE KING JAMES BIBLE... NOTHING FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.... No offence to the catholic church... but i dont care what they have to say.... i was a catholic for 19 years... i heard just about all i wanted to hear.... there are so many contradictions in the catholic church.

(asked a while ago, but since the question didn't appear then and almost nobody saw it, and I got no real replies...)

Terrorists are just denying people a basic right (the right to live) because they believe their god wants them to do it.

What's so wrong about it? Christians have no problem denying other people the right to marry because they think their god wants them to do it.

At least the suicide bombers are willing to deny themselves the same right by taking their own lives. I don't see any christian gay marriage opponents willing to make the same sacrifice.

And why would you think terrorism is wrong anyway? Didn't the judeo christian god use a bioterrorism campaign, even killing innocent babies, to achieve his own political ends?

And please don't tell me not to judge god - you keep saying he's good - how can you tell without any judging?
