It seems that the new fad is to no longer use the label of "Christian" and instead go for the more seeker sensitive "Christ follower" .
Being that we claim the attributes of our names, it seems to me that this simple difference could be very important.
The word Christian means "like Christ". We try to live our lives to His standards.
Now let's look at Christ follower. Even the Pharisees and Sadducees that persecuted Christ FOLLOWED Him.
You don't have to love or worship someone to follow them. We read in the bible that multitudes followed Jesus, but it was the leper that had faith and approached Him directly that was cleansed.
What do you think?

How does that even make a bit of sense? Sure, being a Jew or black or a woman isn't a choice and it is seen as "harsh" to demean them...but just because I believe in something does not give someone of a different belief the right to insult me personally does it?

Just because I made a choice to believe that my religion is true does not give ANYONE the right to insult me. How does "it's your choice to be Christian" even come close to justifying insulting a Christian?

That's like saying....you're a woman? Well you can have a sex change....you can choose your race.

Or oh...you're black? well you can get bleached and relax your hair...you don't have to be black.

It's not the same in those terms because you have to change yourself. But it is almost the exact same thing when insulting a black for being black and insulting a Christian for being a Christian.

It's a double standard and it is unacceptable.

Agree?

Don't tell me it's science. It isn't science.

Don't tell me it's logic, because you are in denial.

Just admit that I'm right, it's a faith issue, you have faith that you are right.

There is scientific proof that a woman's egg can somehow empregnate itself ( I don't know all the details of it but science is working on it). Scientists believe that in a few years they women will no longer have to have a man to have a baby. Can it be possible that this has already happened once to Mary? That God had nothing to do with it? What are your thoughts? Please don't list tons of scripture either! **hugs** I already know the bible. I'm just "saying".....

Bad names like the N-word...

And of course to demean any other minority like women, Jews, etc...

When, if ever, will it be unacceptable to insult a Christian? Why is it that if Don Imus would've said Christians are nappy headed hos, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the other guy would've been on TV and that would be the end of it...

But because He called a basketball team nappy headed hos, he got all that of above and fired and then re-hired, etc.etc.et.c?

I don't think it's right and it's a double standard. If a kid in school calls a black kid the n-word he'll be suspended, but if he insults a Christian...will anything be done to him?

While I am new to spellwork, I am not new to energywork and spirituality. I don't plan on influencing other people's free will with any spells, only giving myself a shove in the right direction I hope. If a spell is cast with positive intentions, does not involve anyone besides myself (such as freedom from being tired and some bad habits and whatnot) and has a disclaimer attached that it be for my highest good - am I good to go?

I read that the ease by which things are gotten by magical means will demand payment in some form down the road. Is that true as I'm new to this, but am not the tpye to look on the negative side of things...input? Is that true for magical workings or just people who aren't careful and havn't thought their work through properly...

Thank You.

It would seem to me that a forum called Religion and Spirituality would be a little more tolerant, accepting, and loving than what is on display. Is it irrational to expect peace and harmony from people who are obviously irrational?

People are always commenting on my sister, Quella Bella, and I, and how unnaturally close we are. They are always referring to our too affectionate displays in public. It has resulted in veritable scandal!

Isn't gossip like this a sin? We had to hold each other for hours last night just to comfort each other over the pain this gossip has caused!

I'm looking for a website that has good correspondences on herbs for specific deities. I find lots of websites out there when you do a google search as to what the uses of different herbs are, but I'm looking for something more specific like, if the deity I'm working with is The Dagda from the Celtic Pantheon, what would be good herbs to use in a candle or incense for him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see many believers state in their responses that if there is no God that they would probably kill themselves, because there would be no meaning to life. They often ask how we can just live a life without a purpose. I do not know if other atheists will agree with me, but this is my personal belief. Take a look at the movie "Cast Away" for my purpose of life. Tom Hanks character is stranded on an island for four years. The only think that kept him wanting to live was knowing that he had a girlfriend/wife back home that he loved. My family and friends is what gives my life a purpose. Other things that I live for is the joy of knowledge and helping other people and animals. My life can have a purpose without a belief in God. So can people seriously tell me that they only live for God and none of the reasons that I stated? If God is all that you need, would you be happy all alone on an island, with nothing but your belief in God?
