Howcome this isn't racist: "God chose the Jews, jews are god's chosen race"

but, this is: "zeus chose the europeans, europeans are zeus's chosen race".

Why do they all seem to be alike in certain ways. Yes, there's a few different ones, but the majority are always wearing the same 'Christian' clothes as everyone else.
I'm a Christian, but find it almost scary that at certain churches everyone looks the same. Why are they afraid to be different?

Time and again homosexuality questions hit the forum, and time and again I ask this question.

Just once, I would like an answer that actually explains to me how you can justify your concern with what consenting adults do in their bedrooms.

Homosexuality is not a choice, it is mandated at birth, right along with hair and eye color.

If there is a God, and he made homosexuals, then why would he demand that they remain celibate and not act on their desires? That doesn't make any sense.

(Mat 28:20 DRB) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

(Mat 7:24 DRB) Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

(Mat 7:25 DRB) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

(Mat 7:26 DRB) And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

(Mat 7:27 DRB) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

(Mat 7:28 DRB) And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

(Mat 7:29 DRB) For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

(Mat 16:18 DRB) And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

take a break from trying to figure each other out and write a haiku about what it is you believe. please don't use this to bash other people. this poem should be about YOU in relation to what you believe.

a haiku has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the last. there are probably way more rules in writing one, but this, i think, is just a basic form.

i'll give you a couple of examples. i'm Christian, so i'll try to reflect that. note to those who are REAL poets, please excuse my pathetic attempt to write:

the dying flower
suddenly begins to blossom
she's alive again

another one could be like:

i am a Christian
i believe in Jesus Christ
He has saved my soul

i hope you have fun figuring out what you want to write! write more than one if you want!

I have two that really mean a lot to me...
1 John 3:1 ~ How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Romans 3:23-26
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement,[a] through faith in His blood. He did this to demonstrate His justice, because in His forbearance He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26He did it to demonstrate His justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

God bless you my friends. I love you all.

According to the teaching of Joseph Smith one can become a god by having children in heaven and become like the Father. How can this be a Christian belief when the Bible contradicts such teaching?

(Isa 45:21 DRB) Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.

I just posted a question about Jesus having sex with Mary Magdalene and was accused of being a Troll and told I was going to hell for it. Then ALL of my questions were removed.

They can't even talk about one of the most basic of human needs and Christ. If he walked like a man, talked like a man, ate like a man, he probably had a sex drive like a man.

Open your minds Christians and talk about the hard parts of your faith, not just the easy parts that make you feel good. Please grow up.

It's Flag Day, 2007, and today the Massachusetts Legislature voted DOWN an RRR-Cult-initiated attempt to infest the state's constitution with a Bigotry Amendment against same-sex marriage (SSM). America clearly is growing up, and OUTgrowing the mindless bigotries and agendas of the Religious Radical Right. For as long as the RRR has been whining about SSM, and has infested much of the land with supposed "Defense of Marriage" acts and state constutional amendments -- it has NEVER been able to tell anyone just *how* SSM could possibly pose ANY threat to the marriages of *any* opposite-sex couples.

The KKK and the RRR are the two primary hate-groups that have impacted America over the last century. Fortunately, the KKK became a laughingstock decades ago, and the transformation of the RRR has already reached that stage in the minds of most of America's sensible and intelligent egalitarians. Who, it now is clear, include most of Massachusetts' legislators. BRAVO, Massachusetts!!

This is depressing! :(

This group...who prints things that are NOT true about Islam by they way...says that:

[4] It shall be a felony punishable by 20 years in prison to knowingly act in furtherance of, or to support the, adherence to Islam. (I guess this includes me)

[5] The Congress of the United States of America shall declare the US at war with the Muslim Nation or Umma. (all muslims)

[6] The President of the United States of America shall immediately declare that all non-US citizen Muslims are Alien Enemies under Chapter 3 of Title 50 of the US Code and shall be subject to immediate deportation. (must include my dh then...)

[7] No Muslim shall be granted an entry visa into the United States of America.
Apparently there was a sympathetic article about this group publised in Insight magazine (part of the Washington Times).

I know I can't fire them for religious beliefs, but if Creationism really is an "alternative scientific explanation" then it would be no different than firing an accountant for working in Base 8 and refusing to use the decimal system, would it?

If they sued me and won, that would prove creationism is theology rather than science!
