When you have a conversation with a girl who you feel like blowing up at because when you were mean to each other in the past,but instead you try to restrain your temper, focus on the good things about her(how hard of a worker she is etc...)are gentle with her,and give her the space she needs afterwards.She responds favorably giving you a sign of warmth peacefulness and with a bit of a smile on her face.Is this respect or integrity you showed/also is her reaction a good thing?

I felt the pressence of Satan, and it felt f**king good! I was just sitting in the dark thinking of him, I am not making this up, I felt like something was running up and down my spine and I felt I had a third eye. I felt great power and joy, but I am a christian or at least hope I am. I had an urge to go to hell and meet him. This little trance I was in cured my depression, he cured me! Am i possesed? ( I know what you are thinking, and I am absolutley normal, logical and kind person and 100% sane)

I have many christian, muslim, jewish friends. I know that they all stauchly support that there was an actual jesus who died for the sins of mankind, and that there was an actual abraham, and there was indeed a Mohammed who recieved revelations from the angel Gabriel. But they certainly cannot support Hinduism as a valid religion. Why not? What is so great about christ that the hindu gods of rama and krishna did not preach? Why is it so hard for them to believe in our myths and legends when in certain areas their stories can seem just as outrageous? Do they really believe that everyone is bound to go to hell? What is their obsession with having to be correct about everything?

The whole 'god sent his son to die for your sins' makes ZERO sense.

1) This 'god' character supposedly makes the rules and created/runs the universe. Why would he NEED to send to his 'son' in human form to an insignificant spot in the cosmos to somehow achieve balance?
2) No matter how you look at it, such an act makes this deity a sociopath. He is willing to allow his 'son' to be tortured just to liberate a small insignificant species on a mote of dust in his Universe? This is his best solution to the problem of 'sin'? And regardless of the magical resurrection, he's still sending his son to be tormented for no good reason.
3) Assuming this deity actually did this, how is this the best solution to the problem? Human sacrifice is the only acceptable way of getting people's attention? An all-powerful, all-knowing deity can only use a bloodbath to make a point?

People say "God is one but he is also three" that does not make sense.
Analogy of apple, egg, water, etc are given that does not prove a thing.
What about apple with a worm in it does that mean there are 4 Gods?
Was Trinity mentioned in the Bible? NO! its never mentioned.
What about Jesus and all the other Prophets Abraham, Noah, Moses etc who said God is One are they all wrong?
From my research, the concept of trinity was started by a Bishop of Alexandria 325 AC.

(2) What Makes It A Parable / Reality?

In Luke 16:19-25 we read; There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

You have a son/daughter that chooses to inform you that he/she is a homosexual
-OR-
You have a son/daughter that chooses to inform you that he/she is a murder, rapist, or pedophile.

My question to you is how you would treat your child upon receiving this information – would you continue to love and support them?

In the case of the murder, rapist, pedophile, would you turn them in?

Honest answers please.

The reason I ask it like I do is because I feel a person can follow one and/or the other as well as all three aspects of religion.
I lost faith in the church because of my lose of trust. I'm still learning about the others.

According to some intense research.. it validates that black people are the most ancient and they lived on Earth thousands of years before any other race did. It also states that every race somehow originated from blacks.
Is there a reason for this perhaps?

We can not be generals as "God" or any higher power we believe in is our General, and you can not be neutral. As Edmond Burke once said "All that is needed for evil to prevail is that good men do nothing" So, what side of the line are you on?

Who is to say it is unnatural? People do what is natural for them. Just because something seems unnatuaral to a homophobic person does not mean it is to a homosexual person. So why should the homophobic person's have more value?
