Religion & Spirituality - 23 December 2007

In the Bible, homosexuality is strongly condemned, and it's considered as one of the most sinnful acts. Children are taught as a child that homosexuality is very sinnful and wrong. They are taught that homosexuality is a lifestyle that someone chooses to take.

In reality, though, people are born gay. This is where the problem starts. Many christians who are gay have committed suicide because they thought they were sinners for being gay. Other gay christians go against their nature and marry the opposite sex, living in denial until they can't take it no more and ruins the family. Other homosexuals, who are not christians, must put up with christians condemning them daily. This is all because the bible isn't it? Exactly how are homosexuals harmful to society? They are the same as everyone other straight person, with the exception of being attracted to the same sex.

Is this not enough reason to ban the bible for good?

I believe in God and has been good to him. But lately money has been an issue. Job is slow and money is less and less. I ma stressing out. I dont have anyone who would lend me money and my credit is jammed. I know a few guys who wants to pay and help me if we can make arrangments. I feel so bad because I know I love God and I don't want to sin. BUt, my mind is telling me I need to do somthing, before I get kicked out my place and live on the streets. I don't think selling myself is that bad. I really don't but knowing it is a sin... what should I do;... I tried getting another job but it is real slow... and timing is difficult... Do you guys think I should just go for the money and have sex for money?

These religions competed in the first three hundred years AD. They each had a virgin birth,son who died for man kind, killed and arose after three days had twelve apostiles and many other things in common. Sunday was their gods day as was the twenty fifth of Dec.his birthday. This was a Roman religion and it was male only! How is it possible that Yeshua/Jesus a Jew with Jewish followers ended up a Roman religion?

While trying to understand the Jesus figure in the Bible, I'm having trouble believing he went to heaven for what he did. He took upon himself all of our sins, dying on the cross, just so that he could go to heaven and wait for us there? That's a cheap sacrifice.

I don't know.

If someone says it is a Miracle, what do you think they mean? Do only spiritual people believe in miracles? Are miracles only linked to spiritual events? Have you ever experienced a miracle, and if so what and why do you feel it is a miracle? Birth of a child? Someone near death returning to good health? What does a miracle mean to you?

The truth isn't ever comfortable for me... when I don't know I am being lied to, I think I am even more happy. I've experienced happiness much littler in my life than sorrow, pain, or anger. Even when I was still a Christian, I felt so much more hurt. I'm a living skeptic.

The more I read into all the different interpretations and information provided for different religions knowing that they are all just interpretations of what they consider to be the absolute truth, the more it saddens me, because I can't see it the same way they do. When I feel like I do, sure I am happy for a little while, until I recognize my own truth. The more I think for myself, the more self-absorbed I feel too. Hmm...

Whenever the bible is challenged by Atheists, christians generally get very defensive. However, they almost exclusively never answer the question itself but resort to respond with a set of pre-programmed alternatives to every given question. These are the alternatives christians have been programmed to choose their answers from:

1. You are taking the verse out of context.
2. Read the Bible.
3. God Bless You.
4. It was mistranslated.
5. It was meant to be taken metaphorically.
6. They throw a bible verse at you.
7. God works in mysterious ways
8. The devil is messing with your minds.
9. Jesus fullfilled the laws.
10. Accept Jesus or burn.

Which of these do christians mostly use?

Just seeing who gets this right and who gets it wrong. I'll give you a hint. It wasn't quoted from the Bible.

For instance, if I said "I hope your family is well"- would you think that I was against your mom or your brother if I didn't mention them by name? Of course not! That would be...ridiculous.

Why then is "Happy Holidays" anti-Christian? Please explain this to me. It is an INCLUSIVE greeting - including everyones special days - Jews, Pagans AND yes, Christians too.

When I say "Happy Holidays" it means "I hope you are having a nice holiday season" and that is all it means. WHY oh why, just because I mention your specific "holy day" by saying "holidays" is it "anti" Christian? If I say "Have a good weekend" would you think it therefore meant "I hope you have a horrible Monday"? Can you please explain how this simple kind greeting can be seen as a hateful attack? I really don't get it.
