    Why does God allow tragedies?

    If we didn't suffer we would have nothing to overcome? To illustrate the temporal nature of our physical existance? To have us seek out the eternal qualities that transcend our suffering? I'm just throwing these out there as a possible answers. I don't really know. Whatever...

    Contributions of Christianity?

    I would say it's played a pivotal role in shaping the whole of our society. It's been a driving force behind western civilisation since it's conception 2000 years ago and it's adoption as the religion of the state under Constantine. How do you seperate christianity from western civilisation...

    Unconditional Love

    I would. Whether anyone takes any notice of my urging though is another question. :)

    The Existence of God: Please participate!

    I think it would be hard for me to elaborate on all the things that led me to God. I'd been swinging from belief to non-belief for much of my life. One particular recurring theme for me in finding God was the 'truths' we believe that are actually lies. I've had a few moments in my life when I...

    Individualism vs Society?

    1) What if the talents of the individual have no intersection with the needs the society. 2) Who defines the needs of the society? Or to put it another way, what are the needs? I ask this because it seems that the range of individual expression is limited by it's utility to society. 3)...

    The Essense of Christ's Teachings

    I could probably right a very long list, but I'll say most importantly love and then forgiveness, and to have no limit on the application of these in our lives. Always love and always forgive. When living these principles, we are to place our faith and hope in the eternal rather than the...

    Forgiveness

    I can never find fault in forgiveness. We reap what we sow.

    Mustaphile checkin you all out. :)

    Hi Robtex, It's something that appeals to me as a statement. Something like, the heart knows reasons that the mind cannot know. Love is creative and goes beyond reason. Simple experiences in my life have led me to believe that we cannot understand love with our heads. It comes from the heart...

    Religion and Natural homosexuality

    I think since doctrines such as literal creation can stand in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary illustrates that this would not be the case. Biblical literalism/inerrantism and the pillar of Sola Scriptura in protestantism is really at the heart of the matter. It's really...

    Would It Make Sense to Just Leave Iraq?

    As an avowed pacifist I am all for the war ending. I think to seek to leave prematurely however, in the cause of pacifism, would be a reckless form of pacifism, with little regard for the consequences.

    I heard about this forum today from a friend online. Thought I'd pop over to see what it's all about. I'm a christian, of the liberal persuasion I would think. I'm interested in reading other peoples experiences our with regards to religious belief. I'm looking forward to reading all your...
