    Execution

    I do not believe in the death penalty. There are many, many innocent men (and probably a few women) who have been on death row and been proven not guilty of the crime they have been accused of. Check out the Innocence Project. At one time the Governor of Illinois put a halt to executions because...

    How would you describe your spirituality?

    I consider myself spiritual. I believe some of many different religions but also have beliefs that I don't think fit in any of the religions I know about. So I would call myself spiritual.

    Power of our Thoughts

    Wow! There's a book I need to get and read. I'm just finished reading "The Conscious Universe" by Dean Radin and he would certainly agree with this. I have also just read "The Immortal Mind" by Ervin Laszlo and it too confirms that science proves this theory. It's interesting to me that I had a...

    Power of our Thoughts

    Love the story. Thanks for sharing it. While I agree with Ana J. that there is reference to how our fears can create our outcomes I think the story offers much more than that. It also shows how our positive thoughts can create a positive outcome. This is a great reminder that we need to be aware...

    Huckabee defends Duggars over Teenage Molestation Accusations

    You know, I'm beginning to realize that you are acting just like the Duggars do. You preach about your way to deal with issues and contend that what is presently available isn't working, so you judge it unsuccessful. You can preach a good sermon about forgetting the past but for most people that...

    Huckabee defends Duggars over Teenage Molestation Accusations

    I don't know if you have ever experienced sexual abuse but I suspect not. I spent about three years "getting over" my abuse, doing intense work on myself and resolving the issues I carried around over the abuse. I got on with my life. It is now over 25 years since I dealt with it. And I did...

    Ireland Legalizes Gay Marriage By Popular Vote

    I would be proud to call myself Irish today! It amazes me that the people of Ireland, who were under the thumb of the RCC for so many years have actually moved beyond the child abuse in their recent past by the church and are not living in the 21st century! The church has lost much of its...

    Huckabee defends Duggars over Teenage Molestation Accusations

    It was not a shock to hear about Josh Duggar and his misdeeds from the past. I have no idea why but that show gave me the creeps from the start and I never watched it. I also never liked Bill Cosby and could never understand why until last year. Guess I need to listen to my instincts! I realize...

    Got ya! I appreciate the clarification.

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    To express their opinions about religion. To share their wisdom with others. To enjoy debate with others with a different perspective. Do you really think that atheists come on here to annoy those with a religious bent? I hope not.

    Fundamentalist v Liberal

    I grew up in the Christian faith but over the years have moved away from church and dogma. I no longer consider myself Christian because I don't believe the basic tenets of the faith. I do, however, consider myself spiritual and I find that I have grown spiritually far, far more since leaving...

    The Damage Fundamentalism Can Do

    Such wise words of wisdom. Thanks for that. I know what you mean by it takes years, I've been on that path for years also. And you are right, I can show her my truth but that may not be the truth for her. I think we each have to come to our own truth, whatever that entails.

    The Damage Fundamentalism Can Do

    I realize that in America and my country, Canada, and many other parts of the world people are free to preach whatever they want to. However, that doesn't make it right, in my opinion. I know that we can't curtail free speech so I'm not sure what the answer is. However, whether there is a...

    The Damage Fundamentalism Can Do

    Last night I had a couple of friends drop in and we ended up having a discussion about religion and how it has affected our lives. My friend, let's call her Pat, was brought up in a fundamentalist environment where fire and brimstone was preached weekly. She is now 55 years old now and knows...
