I need to know if a church is a public place.

Last Sunday when we were doing our thing at church when some folk came and parked their trucks on church space. OK, I´m a Born Again Christian so as you know.

These people said there was nothing illegal because a church carpark is public land. We did not know if they were right or wrong. I got an axe handle and broke their lights anyway. One guy with a new Ford started shouting and spoiling the restful religious vibes, so Pastor Deke fixed his windshield with a cinderblock.

Is there a Born Again lawyer who can clear this up?

Our vietnamese pot bellied pig made another homosexual attack on Mr Nuttle, an insurance broker.

Mr Nuttle was having a cup of coffee and explaining how a life insurance policy works when our pig suddenly mounted him. With Erics trotters over his shoulder and Eric panting in his face, Mr Nuttle was subjected to a thrusting attack on his lap which for reasons of good taste I will not describe. Eric weighs 150 pounds. I threw hot coffee on him, but in the heat of the moment he would not stop Afterwards my wife had to use a damp cloth to clean Mr Nuttles suit. We were so embarrassed.

Pope John Paul II said that animals have souls. That means they are capable of sin.

As Born Again Christians, we know that homosexuality is a sin.

I want Eric to give up his sinning.

Mr Nuttle said we should show Eric pictures of naked men and then hit him with a cattle prod.

Fellow Born Agains, please tell me how can we get Eric to go straight?

Where can I find good information about traditional Wicca? I don't want the "follow your own path" for others this may be ok. But for me...I want Wicca. Traditional Wicca as it is. Any information would be lovely. Also Christians don't bother telling me I'm wrong for doing what I do and Gary G.don't give me an entire quote from a book that I do not follow. Sorry for sounding so rude....I'm just getting very tired of all the crap.

Blessed Be )o(

they think Jesus Christ came to spread His gospel and make it known that He was the Messiah? yet, the idea of a Messiah comes from Judaism. the Native American religion didn't have a need or concept of a Messiah. if the answer is because 2 of the lost tribes of Israel came to the Americas, then why wasn't there evidence of this when settlers came? like maybe a TEMPLE or Torah scrolls i dunno, people practicing Judaic law here?

I am not trying to push sh*t, ok? But the presence of people who believe that Christianity is totally wrong on R&S leads me to think that (a) Y'all just want to torment stupid, misled people, or (B) there really is an issue here that you'd like to explore, somehow.
I do not have all the answers---am as franked up as anyone. but I have studied the Bible exhaustively, studied languages, have a degree in Journalism, and I think I understand a lot of what the Bible is saying---do not believe the Bible to be infallable. But many of the metaphors, much of the imagery, many of the parables and messages are remarkably relevent to 21'st century life.
I am interested in corresponding with polite people with honest questions and doubts. I have plenty of my own. There is plenty that I don't know. I am NOT fundy, I do NOT believe that anyone without faith will go to Hell---(and can prove it Biblically) and I firmly believe, and can prove with the Bible, that one need not be a Christian. bye y'all

How do you tell the "not real Christians" from the "real Christians" with whom they share a label?

I ask this because in future, I'd like to avoid lumping all Christians together. I strongly dislike many aspects -- correction, I detest all aspects of Christianity but that doesn't mean it's fair to blame all Christians for the actions of a few.

Or is it a few? Ten percent? Fifty percent? More?

Nobody gave a crap about religion? I'm not saying that it would be better without it, im saying that it would be better if no one cared about what other people believed.

I watched a prayer on the official tv stattion for Sudan (Sudan tv) where the Muslim scholar said that Americans and Israelis are COWARD and that they only deserve DEATH. The prayer is also recorded and can be vieweed on YouTube:

Does this stand with what we always hear about the tolerance of the peacful Islam?

Does not such a scholar spread hate and violence?

I almost get more joy out of thumbs downs than thumbs up... especially in the religion/spirituality section... I feel like my point of religion being a harmful & hateful institution in our world is made by the thumbs down being clicked.

Also: What are the main reasons you give thumbs down to an answer?

I don't thumbs down for beliefs or opinions, only if factual statements are insufficient or false.

If it's a hateful & non-answering answer... I just report them.

Why do most christians not read/believe in/own the original bible?

Do you believe that Martin Luther actually had the divine authority to discredit certain books from the Bible?

Isn't there some contradiction as to having an Earthly King's name stamped on the side of your Bible?

Have you ever actually read or even seen any of the eight original books that were supposed to be in the Bible?

If the Bible has been edited in the past, then what's your reason for believng that today's Bible is the final draft?

Whats to stop the "Higher Authorities" from revising the Bible yet again?

I view the Book Of Genesis as an allegory. I think God created the world, but the science of evolution shows us his handiwork.

I am for same sex marriage, and for the ordination of gays and lesbians. I came to this conclusion after much thought and prayer, realising that all are sinners, all fall short of perfection. Homosexuals do not choose to be the way they are. There are many comandments in the Old Testament that no one follows, so maybe teachings regarding sexuality are no different.

I am pro-life

When I say The Apostles Creed, I believe every word. Jesus Christ's ressurection was a physical one. I believe in all the miracles Jesus performed. He was born of a virgin. And I believe that Christ will return one day.

Given some of these views that I hold which are certainly the subject of great contravery these days, would you still call me a Christian?

I already know the definition; I am just wondering how many other people know what it is. I capitalized the word "true" on purpose: I don't want any made-up answers.
