    Being Born Again

    OK, we all know what people mean when they talk about being born again, right? They mean that the "found Jesus" and suddenly the world is rosey red. But let's think about it: When we are born, is the world rosey red? No. The world is bright, loud, and cold. Being born is a dangerous...

    What Are You Giving Your Life To?

    I totally do not understand why someone would sit in line for 5 days to get an iPhone. Is a silly toy worth giving 5 days of your life? People will not give a Sunday morning to God but will give 5 days of their lives to an idol. Maybe people don't see this as idol worship. Can someone...

    I Don't Understand Fundementalists

    Why do Fundementalists think that quoting the Bible to athiests will change them? The athiests are going to respond to the Fundementalists the same way the Fundementalist would respond to the Morman quoting the Book Of Morman.

    If Marriage is for Babies, Then Have Them!

    If gay marriage is wrong because a gay couple cannot produce a child, then everyone should agree with Washington State's Initiave 957. This initiative is just the next logical step.

    [open] A different view of being Born Again

    I am posting this here because I don't want to debate it, I just want some opinions. This is not Biblical (at least not that I know) but then again, we really do not know what Biblical "Born Again" really is. Is being Born Again the process of abandoning the comfy, law-driven faith, for a...

    Later Folks!

    It has been fun but my mental health cannot handle being here. I am addicted to CF and I get frustrated. I find so many things uplifting here, but also so many more things frustrating and depressing. I will probably jump back now and then. Peace and blessings to you all. Thanks for your...

    "Homosexual Lifestyle"

    Ok! What is it? I don't want to hear some whispy answer like, "A life against God" or something like "Icky!" I want specifics! I think what most people consider a "homosexual lifestyle" is a lifestyle that most would consider objectionable whether gay or straight and in both cases (gay or...

    Confused - Rick Warren Question

    I have a problem with some (SOME!) of Rick Warrens assertions. One that has really been getting to me is his take on determining "what does the Bible say" (page 187 in Purpose Driven Life). Isn't that what all the hubbubb is about? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? Isn't that the same as WWJD? Jesus...

    Sick Puppy Movies

    Why do we watch movies like Saw and Hostel and Cube? There is nothing redeeming about these movies. They are thoroughly disgusting and still I find myself watching them. Kind of like slowing down watch a car accident. I am actually embarrassed to say that I watch these things. I don't...

    Sassing Christians?

    Since we are supposed to kill children who disrespect their parents, there should be no children who sass their parents, right? It is an abomination also! So God must be mad at them. Let the fundimentalist get all fumed now!!;)

    Obese Christians?

    The fundies said that they post on the gay threads because those are the threads that appear. So here? If obesity is a sin, then there should be no obese christians. Let the battle begin!;)

    Prayer before sex

    I find it funny how we can pray over food, over lottery tickets, etc... But to pray with the person we share our lives and our bodies with before we have sex "kills the moment." God kills the moment? Why?

    Angered by Blasphemy

    Should we get honked about things such as buddy Christ (Dogma) or "Jesus and Pals" (South Park) as our Muslum friends are getting about the cartoons? Are we too laid back or are they too uptight?

    The idol of "Good Program" churches

    This came up in another post and kind of peaked my ire. http://www.christianforums.com/showthread.php?p=21831451&postcount=38 What do you think about "church shopping" to get "what I want" in programming? What about helping to make the congregation better instead of leaving? Are we so into...
