If they feel happy believing in fairy tales I should respect that and shut my face up.

pastors.. say God is love.. but he doesnt like gay people.. or any kind of people who dont follow their rules.. but turning back to slavery.. today slavery was abolished but the Bible doesnt condemn this act.. instead of condemning.. supports this act..even in the past the catholic and protestant leaders support the slavery in the Americas.. so I see how God is changing by the time... from Slavery to freedom? but God is speaking bad things even today for supporting wars and violence againts homosexuals and non-christians

Whether they be Christian, Islamic, whatever...do their extremely rigid views on religion ever make you a little sad? Do they ever make you feel like humanity is tearing itself apart through legalism? Sometimes it makes me a bit blue.

I'm just curious to see if I'm the only one.

You say the Bible is mostly correct, could you just show me where it is incorrect.

Does that make any sense to you?
It certainly does not to me.

Does he get something out of it? Some form of pleasure that he can then reward you with a favor? Is that it? Or is he some kind of egocentric maniac that wants people to say praises to him?

Just because "Emman'uel" means "God with us" doesn't mean Jesus was God in the flesh. It was not unusual for Hebrew names to include the word for God or even God's personal name.

For example, Eli'athah means "God has come." Does that mean Eli'athah was God in the flesh? Jehu means "Jehovah is he." Does that mean Jehu was Jehovah? Elijah means "My God is Jehovah." Does that mean Elijah was Jehovah?

Does this mean God came to earth 50 million times? (Reasoning)

St. Augustine wrote: "The martyrs are perfected in righteousness, and they earned perfection through their martyrdom. For them the church does not pray: for the other departed faithful she prays, but not for martyrs. They have gone out of this world so perfected that instead of being our clients, they are our advocates."

My question to you is this: If the victims of the Colorado church shootings died specifically for their Christian faith, do St. Augustine's words apply to them, even though they are evangelical Protestants? Would they now be our advocates--people a Catholic might conceivably want to pray to?

If not, could you explain to me more clearly how this works? Thanks. =)

The changing "interpretation" of 1.0 can no longer be reconciled to scientific and social changes, so when is God going to release 2.0?

I'm 25. I've been trying to get close with God.....reading the bible etc... but all the people around me just have sex with men. i'm starting to feel left out. My friend told me "a girl needs to get theirs" and 'there's no man that will wait for sex". Its been about 5 months for me. I know in the bible it says no sex before marriage. but i promise you- all my friends are doing it. And they end up living with their boyfriends. I feel so left out. but I don't want to go against Gods word. Am I wrong for warning my friends that this is wrong? What TO DO?

I think that that if everybody lived by the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) we'd be in a peaceful, beautiful world.

What's the purpose of "sins" that exist - that don't involve breaking the Golden Rule?

Why is polygamy condemned in the Book of Mormon, but condoned in the D&C and still believed to be necessary in church doctrine for exaltation in the after-life?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah

Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח, Sheva mitzvot B'nei Noach), often referred to as the Noahide Laws, are a set of seven moral imperatives which, according to the Talmud, were given by God to Noah as a binding set of laws for all mankind. According to Judaism any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the Jewish concept of heaven.

A great many of The Old Testament’s stories come from earlier tales (e.g., Gilgamesh, etc) and the style is, mostly, a direct rip-off of The Egyptian Book Of The Dead.

May you all have a delightful ‘Someone’s Been Embezzling Oil And Selling It On The Side’ Eightdays, a wonderful Solstice, the happiest possible Humbug and may your Hollowdays be filled with the most joyous of pleasures.

So, are these 'Holidays' or 'Hollowdays'?

What if the crew of the HMS Beagle never got off the first island they visited alive? Better yet, what if the natives let Darwin smoke or taste a bit of their good stuff?
