Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

I'll leave marching on, crying out that "God said" it was okay to have Christmas on December 25th to you.

And wonder why, with all the lunatics who hear God talking all the time, He doesn't just get job on CNN and make his positions as clear as Lou Dobbs does.

You should stick to the gay talk, cause your obviously WAY outta your league over here.

I didnt "cry out" anything, I used scripture, inspired by God, to make a point. Sorry thats to hard for you to comprehend. Then again im talking to a man who thinks homosexuality is going to win him browny points in heaven

Now your making fun of retarted children, thats class. Im not going to waist my time finding the scripture, but the bible says that any day man chooses to honor, that he will honor it as well. Not that I didnt already say that.

You know, you seem to be very troll like over here in the religious sec. Never have anything of substance to add. You only come here to make fun of Believers. While at the same time claiming to be a believer yourself. I have no more time for you, as there are actual people here who like talking about the issues, and dont feel the need to act childish, even when there is a disagreement going on. There is no need for you to respond further to me, cause I dont care what you have to say. God Bless.

But I am a believer - But I believe in God - not in you and your rants

I will always "make fun of" religious zealots and lunatic wackjobs who profess to know what God thinks and does and feels about things

Pointing out those insane people IS adding to the discussion.

There is more to a discussion about religion than shouting "Hallelujah!" - especially when it's criticism of religious wackjobs by a religious Christian, so not everybody thinks we're all right wing fanatical lunatics.

So you confess your here to troll. Not to add to discussion, thanks for making that clear.

How did you learn of this God you believe in?


BTW your as wrong as can be. Where have I "shouted hallelujah". Nor am I "right wing" by any sence of the imagination.

Also, you didnt critisize anyone, had you done that, you would have been adding to the conversation, clearly that wasnt the case. Kay, now im really done with you, good day.

Grace,

A couple of Questions...

1) Is divine inspiration and divine execution the same thing?
2) Is the Bible the sole source God's revelation?
3) Are all sins equal?

Thanks

In fact, to take it a step further, Jesus said not to celibrate his birth, but only his death, and resurrection. But then how could we have resisted? The birth of the God of this world was a pretty big event. He said he would honor any day we choose to honor, we choose Dec 25th, no big deal.
