Yes, ok, then

Ok, true. I agree. It's a way for husbands and wives to show love for each other, and for procreation. I see the pleasure of it to be a blessing that comes along with the main purpose.

America is one of the most fear-driven countries around. We get little bits and pieces (Katrina, floods, Mt St Helens etc.) But we never get what the "other guys" get. And we all know deep in our hearts that one day we will.

I believe that the words of the bible are God's, but through the hand of man.

Is it? I just see a topic and post. :s

I'm not making any claims, I was really just stating a possibility. It's a speculation as to how deep the corruption of the government goes. The government, in my opinion has a a few objectives or purposes for war. This is pretty obvious though. 1. Protect imports/exports 2. Take out anyone who the ...

If you have sex before marriage (or within) and don't want a kid, beware the consequences.

I, presonally, am a believer in intelligent design and personally believe that both should be taught. It is a blatent preference to those who don't believe in a God. It's not fair, right?

The point of organised religion is so several people of similar faith and belief can together grow stronger in faith and acheive ends more easily and effeectively.

What is stronger? Community or individual?

My answer is "yes" because God is the master and you MUST obey him.

BUT. God wouldn't do that because he follows his own rules, too.

I don't understand how government officials who claim to be Christian can possibly be in favor of blatently "sinful" actions.

This is idiotic. "Animal rights activists argue that he should be given a lethal injection rather than brought up suffering the humiliation of being treated as a domestic pet." Do you think the freaking bear is going to be humiliated? What a bunch of crybabies. If they are putting time and...

hate to sound insensetive, but if you make the decision to have sex out of marriage (or within for that matter) And don't want a child, then apparently you made the wrong decision. Sex is existant, not for pleasure, but for procreation. Show some backbone and live through the consequences. Don't mak...

It depends on the child. If they will be subdued (healthily) by spanking, then yes, by all means, do it. But for a child like I was, strong willed and stubborn, dont do it, because all it is is pain (with no gain.)

I encourage you guys to look up the book "Radical Amazement". It integrates science into Christian spirituality. Very interesting. Contains stuff about evolution etc

(Someone may have said this already, but I didn't look at the other comments...so yeah) I believe that God could use evolution as a creation of sorts. It makes us feel more related to the creatured around us, like we have a place and we are part of earth. The reason he didn't put it in the bible is ...

I understand that you can post what you may, but honestly, why are you trying to take God's words and twist and misinterpret them in such an "I-told-you-so" manner as possible. How many passages did you skip over that blatently tell you that you DO go there after you die. Elijah was taken ...

I'm not sure as gto how much this has been speculated in forums or discussions anywhere, but do you agree with me that bin Laden was payed off by our government, whatever branch is responsible, be it Bush himself, or in a covert branch.

[/quote]Yes, but it doesn't matter what he *should* be, I am talking about what the others in the community think God is. If someone donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity each year, yet he still shoves you into the dirt every single year, are you not allowed to call him a jerk? This is...

Send him to freaking boot camp.

In response to 10# No, you will never harrass the other side out of existence. If you try to do that you are an idiot for thinking you can. What reasonable people are trying to do is change as -many- people as possible. And why on earth does this guy have this idea of Christians as "Believe or ...

I believe that a balanace must be struck between "doing what's best" and "getting too involved....I am no parent (in fact, I'm 16) but I see my friends at school and think "If only their parents knew that they (er, we) acted like this at school" I believe that parents should...

If God is God, then he cannot in any possible way be a jerk/dick/a-hole etc. God himself ordained what is right. He created morality and fairness and is in every way perfect. No matter -what- he does he is always right, if he is God. Our own morals are obsolete compared to his Truth. God, even with ...
