    Legos announces Gay Legos

    Its moved into the schools as well, as a former teachers assistant myself I have been encouraged to consider the children non binary and to encourage them in their own gender choices, to avoid male/female descriptors when speaking to them and should a child come to me with gender identity...

    Why do SDA preach

    Within my church I haven't been the only one to notice that we can get a little preachy about the sabbath, we had an older member who had friends in other religions because she would volunteer for them or assist them during fundraisers she believed in the sabbath but she didn't think being SDA...

    Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth

    My church family and my owb family bought into our old pastors fire and brimstone speeches, that fantasy and imagination were devil inspired. He encouraged parents to discipline and discourage pretending in children, you can find some of it today if you look up Dr. Niel Needley, many delinquents...

    Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth

    My home religion is a bit split unfortunately, my church is one thats held onto the old belief system for as long as it could, we finally got a pastor who lives conservatively yet pushes boundaries and demands acceptance. Growing up it was hymns only, no guitars, pianos are tolerated but organs...

    Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth

    I find it aggravating that no matter how many times its repeated in the bible that trials and tribulations are not a sign of hearts with sin in them, my church commonly kicked people out when they need the church the most. Again and again they equate bad experiences in our lives with...

    Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth

    "But the heart rejoices and hails it like a long lost friend whenever it sees it" this quote always reminds me of the wellspring of joy I feel in re-re-reading a bible verse I again connect with. I often feel the need to get upon my nees and Thank God again. Zed always reminds me of the peers...

    Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth

    Ive noticed a number of reviews and posts on the Sword of Truth series have indicated that the main point of his entire series is to pull us away from the illusion of Religion and better our lives by removing a false belief system and dependency on God. I myself came into the TV series in...

    Harry Potter should not be watched by Christians.

    "God never needed to resort to fantastical imaginations to prove his point" "God makes strong distinctions between fantasy and reality, fantasy being a sin and abomination" And being in torment and burning in Hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in Heaven. “Then...

    Harry Potter should not be watched by Christians.

    It's funny how I get this all the time from Christians. You read the HP books? Oh ok I didn't know that you were a Satan worshiper. Did you know this bible verse and this verse and that verse condemn you to hell? Btw stay the hell away from our children you psycho, your leading them to...

    Harry Potter should not be watched by Christians.

    At first Rowling wanted to write something reflecting the major influences in her life C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. However as time passed unfortunately it ended up being more about her life and the abusive relationships there in. From what I've heard apparently her childhood home was...

    As a male, when are we allowed to tell a woman shes being inappropriate?

    but it still isn't very common place, it seems to happen very rarely, whats the best way to say it? I don't think that in my first situation had I jumped up and exclaimed something that "your touching my leg that's inappropriate" it wouldn't be received very well, do I laugh and say "yep that's...

    As a male, when are we allowed to tell a woman shes being inappropriate?

    In the two years I have lived in Australia I have had a few instances of inappropriate gestures from women and because I am not accustomed to telling a woman off it has gotten me into trouble, its not something that men do especially in Australia, it seems that the moment you express your...
