Hi

I recently got into Black Sabbath, and I also found out that Ozzy Osbourne has sponsored Marilyn Manson on numerous occasions (Ozzfest).

As a Christian I am torn and confused. Marilyn Manson has been known to spew hatred and blasphemy about religion. So would that disqualify Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's music from being an appropriate option because they actively associate with him?

Oh if you have nothing constructive to contribute, please don't answer. A Christian perspective is wanted, (a minister or theologian would be nice too).

Thanks

Were you born one or did you convert?? If you are a convert, what were you before?

There are so many Atheists here, thought it might be interesting to know :)

Has anyone noticed a reoccurring theme with some of the anti abortion crowd? Rather than say the truth (that they want to spread religious ideology) we see them time and time again speak of moral and ethical reasons for their support of banning abortion. I cant think of any true Christian having an abortion (with or without a ban). One can only conclude that they are not satisfied with their own personal choices. They feel the need to force everyone else to conform to THEIR religious beliefs. The whole pro life debate has NOTHING what so ever to do with morals or ethics.
Ask yourself how moral or ethical it is to spend more money in support of a ban on abortion than the money spent on the children that are allready here. What about supporting a change in laws for the unborn such as tax laws, the ability to add the unborn as a dependent? Social security cards or even citizenship? We see them chant over and over about morals and ethics but we see them never fully support LIFE

Looing back, I'm amazed at how little exposure I've had to other faiths. I am an open-minded person when it comes to personal beliefs; I am an Atheist, but this allows me to view all religions/beliefs as a personal expression, and to hold them all to the same value. With this in mind, I see absolutely no problem whatsoever in taking part in other faith's/belief's services, yet I have have taken part very little in such things. I have, to date, attended some Pagan/Wiccan rituals, and some Jewish observances, but overwhelmingly, my religious association has been Christian, the religion I was raised with.

I am curious if others have had greater exposure to other faiths, and if so, how did it make you feel? Were you able to acknowledge something valid in the experience? Would you participate in such observances again, if you had the opportunity?

Gandhi would most likely be in hell....while it's entirely possible that Charlie Manson and Ted Bundy might go to heaven?

The hydraulic press. Did you know Pascal created the hydraulic press? I didn't. He also invented one of the first syringes. Just thought you would like to know.

were all assuming it`s about green house gasses. Have u geniuses figured out that maybe the earth`s orbit may be off a tad considering we`ve been having alot of inner earthquake activity this last century, or were simply just going thru a transition like we did in the 70`s when they said were going thru an ice age and it never happened. I still have national geographic magazines that show it.

Also, do your Christmas ornaments have any personal meanings to you or are they just pretty? My tree topper is a teddy bear holdijng his Santa teddy, wearing an oldfashioned stocking cap. I bought it from my oldest neice when she was in High school as a Cheerleader fund raiser. My ornaments are hodge podge. Made by my sons, bought by my sons, or bought to commemorate each year. Also a small green bell made entirely out of beads by my mother. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas or if you prefer a Happy Holidays!

I am catholic and I have this very political, opinionated guy that works with me and he's very very controntational. He told me that he does not believe in baptising babies, and that they should wait until they are old enough to decide for themselves which I disagreed...and then he threw me this verse...Acts 8:37 "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart,, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God"....now as us Catholics, what are your views on his response?

How do you know that your religion is right and true while every other theistic religion is not?

I'm just curious as to the reasoning behind such firm stances with everyone's respective religions.

My G. Grandpa was a Mormon polygamist. In 1887 the law caught up with him and put him in the penitentiary for 14 months for unlawful cohabitation and adultery. Who should I blame?
1. Great Grandpa
2. The Mormon Church
3. The Federal Officers who arrested him

State your religious denomination please, and reason for your choice.
