I do, From a historic standpoint and a cultural standpoint, the idea of God's and goddesses is very interesting to me. Do any of you study religious history just for fun?

It was done by a leader who profeses to be a Christian leader and with majority support from the Churches in America.

No need to use examples of the Crusades hundreds of years ago..........

These examples are unfolding everyday.

Did he have some other virgin from David's bloodline in the wings just in case? Could she have said no or would god just gone along with his plan anyway?

(we'll just pretend the original text said virgin and that jesus and david were real for the moment)

won't that make Hell the greatest place ever?

Or is this one of those ironic Twilight Zone versions of Hell where the atheists will all go to Heaven and have to listen to the Christians say "I told you so," for all eternity?

Your telling me these people choose to live this way? That they are pretending to have feminine voices and these women are born with very male characteristics? You have got to be kidding me! It is so clear and obvious that it is not a choice and that it is genetic. I could tell that my friend Mel was going to be a lesbian in 7th grade just based on genetic characteristics. And my friend Tony was going to be gay because of the same thing!

Why do priests and other clergy members practice celibacy? I can't see anything pious about refraining from a natural act that is necessary for the existence of the human race. Is sex viewed to be sinful? I think that would be odd considering that God instilled it for the purpose of human recreation.

Christianity:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and that you telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because some rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Makes perfect sense.

The Catholic Church has been accused of cannibalism because of the Eucharist. So here is the difference. You can eat and drink human flesh under the appearances and "form" of human flesh and blood. But in the Eucharist you eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ under the appearances and "form" of bread and wine. Chemical analysis still indicates it is bread and wine, but it is still considered substantially the Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is therefore food for both the body; but especially and spiritually, for the soul.

Jesus was NOT commanded to start a new religion and he practiced Judaism COMPLETELY.

Paul created a "gentile" version of the message of Jesus and added some pagan concepts into it to make it attractive.

Paul is the founder and main author of Christianity so could we consider him a martyr for HIS religion ?

....do you think it's sissy to carry one or not? Like I said, I love the thing, but I'm very manly and a Christian...and I wouldn't want to hurt my wife's feelings either. Is it okay to use it? I'd appreciate your opinions."

someone told me, "No! Jesus will find you"

Well I have heard that you catch more flies with honey, which I thought was a metaphorical saying. So I covered myself with honey, thinking it would attract Jesus.
Turns out, the saying is literal. Jesus still didn't come find me, but I did attract a lot of flies. Bees too.

Do you think I should just leave out a bottle of expensive red wine for Jesus instead?

But he is Catholic and according to the bible I have to do what he says. He hasn't expressed a desire to be in control of our household, does that mean he isn't doing the right thing by God? If he DID ask me to be submissive I would get angry and no way would I do it, how can some women handle being slaves to their husbands? I don't mind him having an opinion but I am very against taking a back seat when it comes to decisions and anything really. Do other women feel like this? Who does what their husbands say and do you do it because of religion?

I think as a Christian, it is important to confront certain challenges from atheists. Here is one:

Leviticus 20:13. This verse has God saying to Moses that homosexuals caught in the act should be killed.

While this may seem bad, it is important to note that this . ONLY applied to Jews and the penalty for MANY sins was death. It wasn't just for homosexuality. It was sactioned by God because it was a different time. It was before Jesus. When Jesus came, he washed away our sins for those who are Christian, so it was no longer necessary for this type of punishment. He took the sins of the world upon himself. Also, Moses was dealing with slaves that would NOT listen to reason. Remember the story of Moses going up in the mountain and returning to find people worshipping a golden calf?

What are your thoughts?

People tell me that cussing is bad if you are a christian, but I have never read it in the bible. Maybe I'm mistaking though, is it mentioned anywhere?
