    How can someone be a male and be a feminist at the same time?

    Rights aren't something that exists in the air.Human beings create, give or deny rights. If we don't created them, they don't exist. Usually that's a function of a political process. It can also(and usually isI heavily influenced by which person or persons have the most power. For whatever...

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    How does God love us unconditionally? When did you begin believing everything men say or write? And just because someone but a binding on what they wrote and had someone stamp in gold on the cover, "Holy Bible" , why would you believe it then? Now that doesn't mean you believe nothing. It...

    What does "take away the sins of the world" mean?

    What does scripture mean when it says, "behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world?"[NOTE: I don't claim to know the answer.

    Redefining Marriage

    That's like preaching to the Tsunami, that the ocean has always remained in the ocean. There is no boundary to the oceans and there is no boundary to love. Same sex relations have been around in every country and society and religion for hundreds of thousands of years. Hets have screwed up...

    Everybody: What stance should non-believers take towards religion?

    Why must only non believers be concerned about religion? I am a believer and I think organized religion is evil. It's evil because humans have the capacity to be evil. I am a zen Buddhist who is catholic. Catholicism and every other religion I know of even some areas of Buddhism take on...

    What if Jesus didn't say"on this rock, etc."?

    Of course the ultimate point was that religion, all religions and even individuals, believe they can interpret the bible for someone else and if you disagreed, you got stoned, burned, tortured, a big red A or H was pinned to your chest. What is the human need at work here that wants to control...

    What if Jesus didn't say"on this rock, etc."?

    There is a passage that many scholars claim wasn't said by Jesus. Jesus purportedly established "His church" made Peter Pope, and said "what you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven and what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven." If Jesus had never said this, then no authority would...

    The Bible is a dangerous book in the hands of those who based on no other authority claim they have found and know the will of God. Add to that all the redaction the justified the existence of a new church. antonio

    LDS letter on same-sex marriage

    Fundamentalists are so repressed they cant tolerate the thought of other people having freedom to be sexually liberated. I think they are insecure in their faith. Otherwise, if they were comfortable and fulfilled, nothing going on in society would be of much concern. I am on several forums and...

    Is the Bible the Word of God?

    I think God loves all of us and always has. He didn't drown us, or kill babies, or order the extermination of groups--humans did these things. He doesnt' need a Bible to communicate with us because He has written the Word on our hearts. the Bible for me, has a lot of inspired writing but a lot...
