Seriously, it's based on how you personally take the Bible for Christians. If we read Jesus, he says that the 10 commandments are the most important of Old Testament law and the first two are the most important. He also seems to make a distinction between the 10 commandments and the extra...

I believe it is if we think of the best interest of our neighbors. More and more children means more potential homeless or people who may cause others to be homeless. The less children a poorer person has, the less drain on programs like WIC. Don't get me wrong, I am not for eliminating...

Great idea. Food waste is disgusting if people are going hungry elsewhere.

I came back only to post this prayer request, hoping it might do me some good. I've already reported my employer for it's false termination charges. People in the company slandered me twice in order to to get me fired and would not listen to my side of the story at all despite their Open Door...

I know I don't want to post anymore. Nothing's changed much except a bigger sinking into the religion pit of despair. I am thinking of changing to the Christian fellowship down the street. Or maybe changing my icon to seeker or other. I can't deal with the ethics of remaining as I am. And...

Exit, stage left. Have changed my mind--no more posting for me. Very big issues--cannot discuss here. I am not interested in forums due to a saying of Jesus's, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Private message me only--I may come back once a month to private message in response to PM's or posts...

Something else that I see is the amount of people who are Christians who don't live in that love. I know that's it's hard to extend love when we see our own accomplishments or receive pain ourselves, but as for myself I have to ask myself questions about the Christians I've seen lately and even...

I thought I check in on my thread again, since this is the only place on replying for a while.I thought up some more question that bug me.What good is believing in God without believing in a spritual side and why have some beliefs about the spritual nature of God faded? How can I continue to...

As you can see, I've changed my character--no cross visible. It's hard to advocate what it symbolizes right now. Now on to changing my signature and user title. From now on, I plan on posting once a week, if I am in the mood. The current thread, excepted of course--as long as it stays open and...

The other forum is not on Christian Forums and it emphasizes free speech, much more than this site does. It was about something I posted on a thread that's been removed and I keep getting told the same thing about what I said, when I was trying to explain why not to put certain beliefs on...

Due to a lack of being able to communicate my point of view on these forums--I think I should retire to the free speech haven of Christianity in General again. At least I don't have to hold back on my feelings there, which I find to be a moral issue in itself. Why should I post here? Is it...

I would say it's not very moral to do any of the above, except look for alternate ways of testing. Really, though if you're looking for allergic reactions in humans to shampoos, shouldn't you really test it on humans--well as long as it doesn't contain chemicals that can kill. However, with...

Other--it appears to show people for what they are. It's actually inspired me to think and do research on my own faith--I would be considered a more "liberal" moderate now, so to speak. There are negative and positive aspects to this forum. I don't even go to the Christian side of the...

The grown up male would make me worry whether he was a pervert or sex offender.

St. Francis--against the crusades: http://www.tentofabraham.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=22 Christians against the crusades that took Jews' lives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_the_Crusades These are provided for information regarding Christians who did not...

I have a book by Geza Vermes called, The Authentic Gospel of Jesus. Inrestingly enough, this fellow says the writers of the gospels wove stories around Jesus's sayings. The funny thing is that the Catholic Herald is quoted as praising the fact that he can claim to know more than others about...

Bush:"God told me to invade Iraq" http://www.organicconsumers.org/politics/god101005.cfm Bush as religious leader: http://www.theocracywatch.org/bush2.htm I'm sorry for bringing him up, but he indeed calls for a war based on holy reasons--not that I am here to bash him. It's just that he might...

I won't see the movie, but I don't see most movies anyway. Why? I don't care about realism--I want to see creativity. I'd rather imagine what's going on, if there's something disturbing going on. I'd rather see a good informational video about the topic of the movie than consider it entertainment.

I can see young girls running away from home and escaping to another state or back alley abortions. The problem with this issue is bad things can and will occur. However, a girl really should talk to her parents about this, unless they're abusive--then she should talk to someone who can change...
