    Should circumsizing your child be legal?

    Well, I'm not sure I agree with circumcision, but I think it should be up to the parents. You can't know if the child would prefer to be circumsized or not, so it's up to the parents to decide whether or not it's a good idea. I don't think it should be illegal because some people do have...

    Federal Court UPHOLDS Defense of Marriage Act.

    PatrickM: (emphasis mine) Yeah, that's what they decided. But I don't have to agree with it. I'm not changing the subject, I'm trying to find out why this is even an issue in the first place. It seems to me like your evading my question because you don't have an answer.

    Federal Court UPHOLDS Defense of Marriage Act.

    Despite all these threads on homosexuality, I haven't heard a legit reason why allowing gay couples to marry would "destroy" marriage as a whole. Unless they're making homosexual marriage the *only* option, I don't see the big deal. Why can't people just mind their own business?

    non-christian=bad person?

    Yeah, I'm with Deus, I don't see what this has to do with the topic. You can believe whatever you want, but I'll do what I feel is best for me. I may be wrong, but this isn't the thread to try and convince me of that.

    non-christian=bad person?

    No, I don't see myself that way. I see myself as a fallible human being who sometimes makes mistakes, but tries her best to treat others well and make good decisions. I'm not really interested in a belief system that teaches you that you're worthless because you're human. If that somehow...

    since its an issue...divorce

    I think some people are mistakenly thinking that the problem is always the ending of the marriage, when the actual mistake was getting married in the first place. If more people would consider the long-term when deciding to marry someone, they might not end up regretting it two months down the...

    non-christian=bad person?

    Heh, well, I don't really know what to make of that last post there. But anyway, thanks for the responses. I feel a bit reassured. I'm still pretty terrified at the idea of telling my friends and family that I'm not a Christian, but I think I should at least be able to stand up for myself when...

    Well, I don't think I'm a bad person, I just think that Christians will think I am...

    non-christian=bad person?

    I grew up in Pentecostal church. I have to admit that though I was once a Christian that I was never really into it. As I got older, I found it harder to believe in the things I was taught. I now consider myself agnostic because I don't have any definite belief or disbelief. So that's my...

    ? for charismatic/Pentecostal Christians

    How exactly would you define "charismatic" and "Pentecostal"? My mom described our church as Pentacostal. There was a lot of speaking in tongues, shouting, dancing, running, etc.

    Does God have a plan for each of us?

    Well, I don't believe that there is a plan for everyone. In my opinion, our lives are greatly impacted by our *reactions* to the events that happen to us. Bad things and good things can happen to anyone. For instance, bad things happen to everyone, but your attitude can help you overcome it...

    Why so against others' sins?

    1. I've never heard of people being judged by what their nation allows, but rather by what they have (or haven't) done as an individual. Otherwise, what would be the point of being saved? 2. Allowing homosexuals to marry isn't saying it's "okay" but rather that the government has no...

    Do you want to live in a Christian Theocracy?

    I know not *all* Christians want to ban gay marriage, but I think there is a significant amount who do. Still, I should have worded that differently. My question was posed to Christians who don't support a Christian Theocracy and are opposed to gay marriage.

    Seeing naked women/men a bad thing? Not the same as Porn

    That's what I meant. They're not completely naked, but it's still sexually stimulating.

    NON CHRISTIANS

    Hi, I'm new. I basically have no religious beliefs, but I don't refer to myself as an atheist because my whole thing is that there's no way of proving or disproving the existence of a higher being. I think that religion is an intensely personal thing, and thus don't think there's any one true...
