I recently became a vegetarian because I was a appalled at the abuse in factory farming and for health befits of a vegetarian diet. But christians at my school keep telling me its stupid because animals have no souls and cant feel anything. I'm a non-denominational christian I've been to catholic, Protestant, and baptist churches, and have read the bible and I have yet to find anything that says animals have no souls and are emotionless computerized like beings. I've anyone can quote something from the bible that confirms this please do so because I am very interested in the subject.

Honestly I am not trying to offend anyone. Myths are found in religions. Some followers take them as symbolisms to learn values from. Some followers take them as facts. I am just curious on what every day believers (instead of religion scholars) take them as.

Can it include pre-marital sex?
Does it count with swingers where all parties consent?
Doesn't the bible mention prophets and other good people who have multiple partners?
Does the bible say that concubines are a bad thing?

Just curious. But I'm asking about the bible, not opinions.

A website recommending this speaks of the Latin Liturgy. It recommends parents and teachers to teach their children grammatical constructions, syntax, definitions and so on.

As the Scriptures were written in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic it probably will not help them to understand what the word of God actually says.

Surely Latin is a 'dead' language. So it seems to be a bit of a odd if instead of making God's word easier to understand we complicate it.

Jesus spoke in the language of the people around him, though he used parables to test the extent of their real interest.

When the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles as tongues of fire upon their heads it enabled them to speak in the languages of those who had come up to Jerusalem from surrounding countries. The people marvelled because they could all understand.

How will children understand what God wants them to do and to be if it is in a foreign language?

Is now a good time to buy real estate that was previously foreclosed because of subprime mortgages, or should we wait a little longer and see if the prices drop more?

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I read one of the answers here said that it's automatic excommunication for a Catholic just for having abortion, is that true? if so, if the person is excommunicated yet takes Holy Communion, what's going to happen?

Okay so why did all of these non-atheist people show up, and why do some people think they can filter opinions by using a similiar headline?

i noticed a lot of mormons using this phrase. it reminds me of a cult test

question #5 Cult-speak

The cult has its own language. The cult invents new terminology or euphemisms for many things. The cult may also redefine many common words or phrases to mean something different.

"Loaded Language" is one of Robert J. Lifton's Eight Conditions of Thought Reform -- an essential part of any effective brainwashing program. The cult-speak may include a bunch of well-worn slogans.The special words constrict rather than expand human understanding, and the slogans stop thought.

here are more phrases regarding loaded language:
