    Redneck Motel

    How do you know you ended up in a Redneck motel? If you call the front desk and tell them, "Hey, I got a leak in the sink." And they answer, "That's cool. Go ahead." :)

    Need a little help

    Hi Kenny. Sure I know the scriptures on homosexuality, and misinterpreting them to say things they don't is silly. Both Old and New Testament, especially Paul in Romans, do not applaud homosexual behavior. - The Catholic view would be: You can't change your homosexuality, but in that case it's...

    Need a little help

    Hey, how are you? I'm not familiar with the way Jewish people interpret their faith, so I can only talk Christian. (You're Messianic it seems.) My view on the issue of homosexuality is not standard though. Not in the U.S. at least, or the conservative Christian U.S. I'm from Europe...

    Dog Show Romance

    All the dogs in town anticipate the annual Beverly Hills Dog Show, but this year SHE is there: a poodle like no other poodle. How immaculately groomed, her tail high up in the air, the ears flapping as she navigates the lawn like she owns it. A gazelle of a dog! After the show the male dogs are...

    The damned as a failed creation?

    That is an even better question. If you go deep down into it, philosophically, it makes no sense whatsoever. Christianity, as all other religions, have only one purpose, to make sense of a meaningless existence. The different stories try to make sense in different ways, fitting to the culture in...

    Puerto Rican Street Gang

    A whole Puerto Rican street gang dies, and goes to Heaven. St. Peter is all freaked out, runs to God for advice. "Lord... I don't know what to say, there's a Puerto Rican street gang at the Pearly Gates. Should we let them in?" "Well, Peter, my dear servant... if they are there, there must be...

    Dad, are you gonna buy me a car?

    Teenage son walks up to his dad, "Hey dad, I was thinking, you know, a lot of my friends, they got cars now. Are you gonna buy me a car?" Dad: "Well, if you better your grades, if you go to church every week, and if you cut your hair, I'll think about it." A few months later. "Hey dad. You...

    The damned as a failed creation?

    Interesting question. I don't think you'll find a definite answer for it. You'll have to stick with what was taught through the ages and make up your own mind on those answers, or investigate yourself. St. Augustine or "Augustinianism", today known as Calvinism, sort of teaches that there is no...

    Hey! What's up?

    Hey! I don't think I introduced myself yet. What's up? How are you doing? My name's Mike, and PTL is not Praise the Lord. It's Post Tenebras Lux. Out of Darkness, Light. A slogan from the Reformation. I'm an eccentric Floridian, like a lot of people down here are... but I'm not even from here...

    Are there any Christians that don't believe in Creationism out there?

    Hi! And thanks. Will do. I forgot about them. Francis Collins is involved there, correct? - It broke my heart when Bruce Waltke got fired from his post at the seminary for admitting that "evolution kinda is true". (Paraphrased.) I couldn't believe that a college would fire one of the greatest...

    Are there any Christians that don't believe in Creationism out there?

    Thank you, Sir. I actually did look at that. Very helpful. - I see myself more drawn to the Methodists though. Put it as you will, I'm just an incurable "traditionalist" when it comes to church. I like the organ, not rock music, I like the creed, the Lord's Prayer, Communion, a structured...

    Are there any Christians that don't believe in Creationism out there?

    Hi. Thanks for your reply. - I'm not questioning God as Creator. I'm not questioning God at all. I'm just a bit baffled at why it seems so terribly important to some Christians to constantly attack (and misrepresent) the sciences. If anybody's faith is shaken by them it's not mine, but it...

    Are there any Christians that don't believe in Creationism out there?

    Thank you, Sir. I'll check it out. - Yes, the Catholics are more open to science than conservative Evangelicals it seems (speaking of the U.S.).
