I just don't understand why the Bible has forced us to refrain from expressing ourselves. We can't get mad or even say whatever we want to. So tell me what do you think? Another thing, bible thumpers need not answer this question because I don't want to hear any of them spewing their garbage.

I don't care what it says or what they want to believe. The problem arises when they decide that everybody should believe and act as their story book demands!
Forcing their faith on us through our political system is wrong!

If you are not a Christian, why then do you care what the Bible teaches?
If God denies us something, then we do not have the right to it. But the Bible does say that you have the right to mad (angry), it just requires that you do not sin in the process. Why? Because God wants you to have some self control and self respect and to treat others respectfully.
If someone treats you like trash, who cares? That's their problem and they'll answer to God for it. If you really want to demonstrate free expression, do the opposite of what everyone else does - don't retaliate every time you get a bug up your nose. If you don't want to conform to society, be the opposite of society - do good and nice things. If you think that free expression is to act like a baffoon, get violent and vengeful or say foul things, you aren't expressing anything particularly unique. You're just being like everyone else. God doesn't want you to be like everyone else. He wants you to be unique - and acting like everyone else is not being unique.
But most importantly God restricts some parts of free expression because He simply doesn't like dorks.

Buddy, if you're talking about morals, then you got it wrong. The moral majority has more to do with the constitution these days than the bible. I sure wouldn't want you using your free speech in front of my impressionable kids. I sure wouldn't want you lovin on your 'babe' in front of my kids. You see, it's not the bible, it's what is politically correct. There you go, blaming the bible for stuff! When are people going to get over it? The bible's been around for much longer than you, and you know what IT"LL NEVER GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you sleep on that?

God created the free will you think he denied. I am so sorry for your misconception of God. We have the will to say and do whatever we want whenever we want. Its just that to be more Christ like you choose (are not forced to) to hold yourself to a higher standard. If a person feels forced to be good then their heart is not in the right place with God and he knows that. It is a pleasure to honor God not a forced thing.

think of of it in this way. you're a useful individual going approximately your way. Making sturdy funds funds. You tell human beings what they prefer to pay attention and that they supply much extra funds to you. Now alongside come those people who teach each and every physique what you have suggested isn't what's written interior the e book you declare to stick to. in actuality, it says precisely the different. How might you think of people who you have been mendacity to for many some years sense approximately being lied to? ought to it particularly is a suited worry for you that your earnings may well be effected? Little ask your self then that the clergy does not prefer any of their laity to ever pay attention to any of Jehovah's Witnesses. humorous ingredient approximately JWs, as quickly as we are asked a query, we don't shuffle around. We turn to the Bible and teach the respond on your replica of the Bible. Now while replace into the final time any of the clergy did that? "real christian to you may mean those that propose applicants, bless wars, and in basic terms anticipate you to call your self christian. 2 hours in the past" My answer toi it particularly is what did Jesus say? John thirteen:35 shows Jesus suggested the premiere thank you to tell who replace into or replace into not a real Christian replace into "having love between themselves". Or as Psalms 133:a million phrased it "for brothers to stay in cohesion." What maximum folk fail to word (by determination frequently) is that there are human beings on the two facets of maximum wars of an analogous faiths. With clergy on the two facets telling each and each that God is on their side so go kill the enemy. which ensue to be their brothers in even though faith they prepare. it particularly is why we stick to the occasion of the 1st century Christians in not keeping any political or protection tension workplace. Nor can we take any area in national or civil wars. At John 18:36, Jesus speaking to the Roman leaders confirmed how his Kingdom replace into no area of the worldwide. If it have been, he might have had his men combat for him. all of them knew of the Roman soldier who had his ear shrink off and Jesus healed it good then. So who's following real Christian standards? in simple terms as considerable, who isn't?

yes i do. even though they have a right to free will as given by God. i redpect their ways. on the contrary, i do not respect them bashing me because i believe in Islam. i personally and i speak on behalf of the NON-VIOLENT part of Islam...i know that terrorist islam has taken over the minds of so many, that when they meet a Muslim, a good one, then automaticly we are accoicated w/ the terrorist. and we are assoicated with believing as a terrorist would. and that's not the case. we could attack them with words like they do us, their ancient faith killed non believers of Christianity with the Cursade. does this mean all Christians are terrorists also...the anwser is no. Islam or sould i say Muslim are all associated as one. and we are not = Islam has split again. not only is there sunni and sha'ite but now there are terrorist procliming Islam and that gives ALL of Islam a bad name. ooooh those bad apples!!! (the terrorists of course.) i say that i respect all religions, the terrorist have there own religion, i do not respect those who kill others because they believe diffenently.

Is there anything wrong with trying to be a good person? I mean look what anger does to people and how it hurts others most of the time. How it hurts yourself actually, and hate is like a cancer it will consume you. Swearing turns most people off and in most work places you can get into serious trouble for it. Talking dirty and stupid actually turns people away from you unless you are hanging out with scumbags.
