    The Pope on women and gays

    Agreed. I actually very much like this pope and find him to be a very much needed change from the prior pope whom no one seemed to like. His forced retirement was an obvious testament to how poorly he was received by the Catholic community. This one, OTOH, seems to be a man of peace and...

    The Pope on women and gays

    In an interview on a plane from Armenia to Rome, the Pope made some very interesting remarks, not the least of which was that the RCC should ask forgiveness from the gay community for their past treatment and said the same of women. Do you agree with him on these provocative and forward...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Not now, no but they certainly did in a similar time as Islam is in right now. Go to Hawaii and visit the Bishop Museum or go to Phoenix and that art museum and see the photos of NA's that were forced by Christians to abandon their culture and faith by alleged well meaning "Christians", or how...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Is it not possible to take verses from the Tanahk that are taken out of context as well and twist them to what you wish them to say? From Genesis (Bere****) God is angry. He decides to destroy all humans, beasts, creeping things, fowls, and "all flesh wherein there is breath of life." He plans...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    As I just mentioned, during the Inquistition and The Burning Times.

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Then I assume you want Judaism gone as well, non? Or is your hatred only specific to Islam? You seem to have a rather vehement hatred of Islam, from reading your posts here. What of those Muslims who want peace? And there are a lot of them btw. What of that?

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Agreed but don't you think that Islam is still at the same stage in its growth as Christianity was about 500 years ago? The Inquisition. The Burning Times. Etc. How is that any different from what Islam is going through right now?

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Similarly, the Bible has its own share of who will be sent to hell through fire, etc, in the book Revelations as well as other books of the NT. Are you trying to say that just the one book leads to a group that seeks world domination? The Bible states that only their faithful with survive and...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    As will Christians, Jews, and just about every other religion on the planet. There are several forms of Buddhism you realize. Does that mean that the path I follow is wrong or that the message is not that of God, as I conceive of that concept? Too many want to blame Islam and ALL Muslims for...

    People are being manipulated into hating Muslims

    Ah, the voice of fresh air. I agree. So many seem to want to disparage Islam for any reason, even when that reason is false or made of whole cloth. Thank you for your post Luis.

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Agreed. Having read his posts for some time now, he does often devolve into saying that all here are calling him names or insulting him in some way which is why I pointed out that Sunstone did not in any way insult anyone. He/she made a very valid and true point. I fail to see why devolving...

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    true but keep in mind that most of this kowtowing has more to do with the oil they have than truly supporting their regime. Would you be interested in going back to having no oil or gas? No cars, wood heat only, no electricity, etc. Most Americans would implode I think. And therein lies the...

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    Forgive me but you make this sound as if it is something that you have given to women as a gift perhaps. From my POV, what you try to say here is that women are second class and being able to drive a car is some kind of gift from God.

    It's not about terrorists, it's about theocracy

    I totally agree. I have friends here from Norway and the thing that most impresses me is that they have free education to the level of graduate degrees, or mostly free, and totally free healthcare. They are also encouraged to take time for themselves to redirect. seems to me American pales in...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    In no way did Sunstone call you any names whatsoever. Furthermore, I have encountered Christians such as Sunstone describes and he/she is correct. There are many Christians who use prayer in the most heinous and self-serving manners. His/her remarks were dead on and whether you care to admit...

    Phony advertising from churches Huffington Post

    Thanks Tom. I just think she is projecting and I've no idea why. I am more than comfortable with being gay and could not care two cents about what some church has to say. I respect them and their views as you do and furthermore, understand it is a part of our culture at the moment. I see no...

    Phony advertising from churches Huffington Post

    Wow. Seriously? I don't want anyone to go anywhere. I am gay myself and could not care one iota about what some church says about who I am. If you want to rant on about the position of churches and how they stand on the issue of gays, go ahead. You do realize you will not change one thing...

    Phony advertising from churches Huffington Post

    Right here below. You make a statement, which I agree is your right, that GLBT are a 'segmented faction'. That right there is marginalizing a bunch of people for no reason other than how they were born to express their sexuality. Unless you can truly state you chose your sexuality, assuming...
