Pride about anything is a sin in view. Now don't get me wrong, I admit that it's a sin I am guilty of over and over again.
I apologize if this is not the right place to post this opinion as it is not in a religious forum.
Thank you Angellous.
Church is supposed to be a place of worship and praise of God. Politics in my view has no place in a worship service. It just brings up too much emotions. To put it into better words: Church is a calm place not a place to get all bent out of shape.
This is one of my favorite sermons. And, indeed, how we tend to get things out of perspective. If my favorite baseball does not win I get all bent out of shape. And for what? It's just a baseball game.
We tend to see ourselves as better than the another (as if the universe revolves around...
This may not be the actual definition but I think a "mainline" Christian denomination is one that believes in the love of God and Christ. And that, that love is for everyone. I do not think the "Christian" denominations who practice hatred of a certain group of people (like those who follow...
I believe that discussion of anything helps us open our minds to different possibilites. Helps us to understand another person's point of view. So I do believe that things like religion and science and such should be discussed. For doing so broadens our mind.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking God for help. I do all the time. It's just that when we don't get the helpwe want most just complain and moan and groan saying "Oh, God doesn't listen." or "God doesn't exist. If He did he wouldn't allow this thing to happen." We (humans I mean)...

Oh, I see there have been some changes in the layout of the...
I am gonna have to disagree with Paul in his assessment. This part goes on to say that we should also blindly follow orders because they were set up by God. I will do no such thing if that government is oppressive and corrupt.
Oh yeah I'm sure that He set up the Nazi government so they could...
I happen to believe in the fact that with proper training an athlete could become a teacher. But not many teachers can play a professional sport even with the proper training.
Look it, let's say for the sake of argument that there are 20 baseball teams and on each there are 20 players...
I am currently readng the Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. It is pretty good book. Not on my top 10 list for all time favorites but still I like it. (The movie Hellraiser, one of my favorite movies, was based on this book)
You know when I first seen the title to this thread I was gonna say how people are just blowing this out of proportion and that people need to know the fact that it is fiction. But you have taken the words right out of my mouth. I don't have to say anything about it now.
