    Conservative Christians should reexamine their views on homosexuality.

    What Christians believe the bible teaches changes along with (though at a slower pace than) what society believes is right/acceptable. The bible used to be used to defend slavery. Obviously you won't find many Christians claiming that slavery is okay these days. The bible has also been used...

    What would a religious person do?

    This thread is awesome. That's all.

    Teachers opinions in public schools

    I just don't understand how you can teach your children that nobody is derserving of respect until it's earned. So many people you run into in life and have to just assume they have earned their title until proven otherwise. And so many of them don't have much of a chance to prove anything...

    Blog idea - would you take offense?

    You have to realize, though, that this particular audience (on this website, in this forum) is entirely comprised of people interested in this topic. The general public? Not so much. Getting a whole lot of "I'm interested" and "I would read that!" comments here will not translate into the...

    Teachers opinions in public schools

    There is no situation to get out of. Action was taken, it is on record as having happened, the classroom got an apology, the teacher kept his job. I didn't make a big stink out of this, I just made mention of it as something that was bothersome and might need to be addressed. I don't approve...

    Blog idea - would you take offense?

    I don't see the point, honestly. Churches vary too much, from one denomination to another AND from one city to another AND EVEN one preacher to the next. Even the members of the congregation make a huge difference in the atmosphere of the church itself. The only audience that your blog would...

    What makes your God/Gods right?

    I think he was saying that you make your own idea of God true. At least to yourself. At least that's how I read it. The names: God is a title, not a name. Allah means God, it's not a proper name. Jesus is the son of God/God in human form. I have only heard Jehovah used by Jehovah's...

    Hi! I'm Sarah!!

    Yeah... that thought has occurred to me. I don't think that's why I was given this name, though. :)

    Which of all churches on earth is the only true church?

    Which question were you wanting answered? Maybe the question was missed/overlooked? I don't mean to be a pain, and I hope it's okay to say this, but this back and forth, non-specific banter like this bugs me. :) I haven't been here long, though. And if you two do this to each other, and...

    I'm confused? What was pasted? Did something get deleted?? :confused:

    Teachers opinions in public schools

    I am baffled by this response. And I am typing this on my phone, so please overlook and typos and such... "Authority figure" is not synonymous with "perfect". There are many people who fall into the category of an authority figure, and I don't see how you can avoid that fact. Police officers...

    Which of all churches on earth is the only true church?

    All churches believe that they are the true church. Whether they are or not cannot be proven. If it was provable that one particular church was true... we'd all be going to that church!

    My "Christian" friends

    My husband was raised Catholic, and he converted to Nazarene when he was 18. Nazarene is a very conservative branch of Christianity, at least the ones we have been exposed to are. I was raised with no religion at all, and I learned about religion by studying it, exposing myself to various...

    My "Christian" friends

    Again, depends on the Christian you ask. One problem with Christianity, in my opinion, is that there are so many different interpretations of it. You can't say that very much of anything is a "Christian" belief. I have a hard time giving an opinion on why "Christians" think and act the way...

    The weight of good against bad.

    Key words, right there. Religion is neither good nor bad. People will do what they will do, whether it's good or bad, with or without religion. If religion weren't there to use as an excuse for war, the people would find something else to point to. You will find good and bad people, doing...

    My "Christian" friends

    Whether or not a person has to try and be a *better* person depends on the Christian you ask. And no, I don't think that their attempts to "save you" mean they look down on you and think they are better. I see it entirely opposite, honestly. You seem convinced that since you all behave in the...

    Teachers opinions in public schools

    This situation is not hypothetical, it really happened. Though I do understand that it's possible it wasn't relayed to me *exactly* as it happened. As far as I am aware, it happened as stated in the OP. I would have reacted the same way no matter which religion was insulted. It is not...

    Teachers opinions in public schools

    My daughter came to me last week about a concern she had. It had to do with a comment made by a teacher. Apparently in her English class the students are asked to bring in newspaper articles to discuss, and the class is encouraged to give their opinions and discuss the article in class. I...
