If anyone trying to find their religious niche came here on accident, I think they'd vomit at the hate being spewed by "Bible Loving Christians" against anyone different to them here.

This. Tolerance and love win out over bigotry and hate.

Agreed, 100%.

I don't condemn people for reading scriptures. I disagree with them. Also: The Bible is full of contradictions and funky stuff, so...it's hard to believe when it says "thou shall not kill" and half the book is full of instances of murder, etc.

Yes. Glenn Beck more so then Limbaugh. He terrifies me. His overtones about "reclaiming America for God" and speaking about near-militancy against the government and the President really do frighten me. Not for their political overtones, but for much different matters. As people know, I am...

And of course the Right blindly tries to paint all who believe in environmental justice as mentally ill as this man. Comments about the man voting for the President and implying that all who voted for the President are deplorable comments to make. Either side, left or right, should not make...

In before Leviticus. Either way, I don't get it either. Being homosexual is not destructive to ANYONE. But hey, there always has to be a scapegoat for hatred. First it was the Christians by the Romans, then it was the Pagans, Muslims, Jews, Protestants, and the list goes on until we get to...

People who bash others on social assistance disgust me. Not everyone is a leeching, drug addicted "entitled" person who steals money. Most people on social assistance need it because there's no jobs, or the only job available is one that would pay drastically less then what they need to...

Well said. I tried to imply that in my post but my words get all lost up in the weird. :)

/shudder Well said. :)

You do not need to be religious to have a code of morals. As a non-Christian and a Pagan to boot, I follow a simple law in my beliefs: 'an it harm none, do what ye will' You are free to act as long as your actions do not cause harm or suffering to another, or yourself. :)

Not at all. We always need a polar opposite to counter our beliefs; just as cold needs hot, light needs dark, etc. It would be a boring place without atheism.

I just think that yes, it does seem a bit ill-conceived to build the mosque there, but they have the right to do so. Also even though many who lost family in 9/11 oppose it, many others who also lost family in 9/11 support it. The worst thing we can do is force them to call it off; if we do...

Nope. I quite like Jewish people. The ones I have met are very kind.

Fun fact about the word "bigot": One theory is that it comes from the words "bei" and "gott" which mean "By God" in ancient Germanic. Apparently it was used by the early Germanic peoples to mock the missionaries who preached at them. And that is your fun fact of the day! :D

I apologize for having an opinion contrary to yours. Beep boop: Free will is over-rated.

Fine, back on topic then...I was simply responding to your point.

A: My history teaches that the reason that Urban called for the Crusades was because the Muslims were not letting tribute caravans into the Holy Land. They were STILL LETTING PILGRIMS INTO THE CITY. B: At that time, did the Pope not represent most of the Christian world? C: All Muslims...

Anyone who disagrees with Palin, Beck or the Tea Party on a single issue, even the color of the logo, is a "liberal" to some people.

I personally don't see any real problem with learning about homosexuality. Then again I don't get governance from a book written 2 thousand plus years ago by a group of men and not a deity.
