That doesn't sound very Christian.

In the old testament which I've read cover to cover more or less, it talks with disgust and strong condemnation about homosexuality. There is rape (hetero), murder and lots of other activities taking place that TO ME PERSONALLY seem just as bad, or worse as being homosexual. Frankly, the old...

Have to agree. This seems to be the one sin that the bible, serious Christians and possibly God really have an issue with. It doesn't feel logical if you look at it objectively, But then, I guess that's not what we are doing here.... I can definitely see that people who are challenged with...

Hej Unix! Svar kommer snart! Jag är stressad och mår faktiskt inget bra. Jag har verkligen klantat till det för mig. Snälla be en snabb bön för mig - Jag jobbsöker så fort jag kan, och intervjuar, men jag måste få ett erbjudande snarast annars ser det verkligen mörkt ut. Så arg på mig själv. Jag...

GIven that my mother tongue is Swedish, for me personally German would have been easier. From a practical personal perspective I already know English though. So I am speaking from a more theoretical standpoint. My English is a lot better than my German, simply because I have more exposure to...

Esperanto. I don't know it myself but apparently the average German person can learn it in 1/4 of a time it takes to get English to the equivalent level. Nobody owns Esperanto and it contains a mix of Germanic, Latin and Slavic words - so none of the major linguistic groups get a big...

Yup, this is right. For 20 years, justice for blacks was the key focus for Phelps and his entire family. His firm took on black clients for free in discrimination cases which were super common back then, apparently. The things that happened were truly shocking and it's quite surprising that only...

Several other EU states have significantly better benefits than the UK! Denmark, Finland and Sweden, for starters! Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Probably Austria and Germany too. There are three things that attracts people to the UK They already know the language from school...

yup I too am in the club of those who remember life before mobiles with sweet nostalgia. Remember when you stood somewhere and waited for someone and they were late but you had no way of getting in touch with them. Gosh, I MISS that. Or when you called a friend as a child and had to talk to...

Cool post Deetwang, summarizing all that. It definitely fits the USA right now. But it would have fitted the UK in the days of empire and there may be somebody fitting the bill better in the future. And I am not sitting on any high horses. It's not like we in Europe are in a great position to...

Wouldn't that be cool? But we have, like 40 million muslims in Europe. At least! I doubt they are in favour of a Christian Federation... Not to mention all the atheists, the Dawkins fans... or the majority who care about the latest reality TV show and going boozing in Ibiza on the holiday. I...

You couldn't possibly know that for sure as there is no clear reference to the US at all in the Bible. I can't recall anything about any 24 nations either.. ] I guess you are subscribing to some rather unusual and little known eschatological interpretation.... Either way I think you should...

We are not on the same wavelength about this at all, including ideology-wise. Hence there is no point discussing it in a forum about Christianity because either of us might get provoked to say something un-Christian to the other. Had this not been a Christian forum and the topic Bible-related...

Babylon is a metaphor for a completely deprived type of society in the last days, right? And a superpower...? Assuming we are in the last days, then America fits the bill. I really like those Americans who see this. Who reject all these horrible wars that the USA has no business fighting...

Finland har inte samma hysteri runt det där, eller hur? Jag har inte heller Facebook. Har ingen lust att ha hela mitt liv hängandes på nätet. Jag kanske ångrar mig någon gång men just nu så avstår jag. Har inte TV heller men dator har jag och vill jag se något från TV så laddar jag ned det på...

Mike, I don't really see that. I mean --- a historian required to understand what the bible means?! ---- why?! Up until the 1960 people simply read it as it was. Now suddenly a historian is needed! I don't buy that, it seems ridiculous and I am just not talking about this female minister...

Ditto that. God bless them, sorry this had to happen. Why is that nasty IMF involved in this. Cyprus is such a tiny place. Can't we sort that out inside the EU?

Too right to avoid Facebook. One day the people who entrusted the intimate details of their lives to an evil corporation, a billion FB users and Big Brother might live to regret it! Plus - it's not even a reliable source of information. I'll never understand the lure of Facebook on people...

Apparently it's a fake rumour started in Israel. He's not dead and was not killed by any Iranian bodyguard as all his bodyguards are Syrian.

I have nothing whatsoever against individual Americans for the most part. Quite the opposite! However: I am "anti-American"... I don't think it is "the best country", but in fact one of the worst. I can't say anything about the internal politics since it's not my business and I have no...
