    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    If I may ask...curious of your opinion on this is all :) When you say sex outside of marriage is a sin, do you consider that homosexuals could be married within Christianity, or do you think that contrary to the belief system? There are of course churches that marry gay couples.

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Have you considered that it could be a way in which the genes from the mother and father go together into the new person? There are gay siblings, that is- documented cases were more than one of the children are homosexual. This suggests something pertaining to the parents.

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    I think there can be little doubt that homosexuality arises naturally within the evolutionary process when you consider that it occurs in virtually every mammalian species. It occurs in every primate species, including our own.

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Homosexuality of course has a arguable clear benefit within evolution, and that's the taking in and rearing of children without parents, or whose parents are otherwise unable. This is an evolutionary benefit, but consider that things in evolution do not need a benefit. Evolution is quite a blind...

    The last year has made me really proud to be a Democrat

    I have to say that my faith in my party has increased a whole lot over the last few years, as I see how strongly the politicians in my party are willing to fight, even with a Republican majority. Democrats continue to fight for the oppressed, for the middle and lower class, and the marginalized...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    You've yet to offer any evidence of this, or that you know your god's will, who you claim exists.

    Cosmic Indifference: What do you do after you realise the Universe doesn't care?

    What do I do? I just enjoy life. When there is no further meaning- what else is there? I suppose you could hate life, but that isn't too ideal.

    Is there a point to belief in a non-conceptual Brahman?

    That would seem to be a similar idea.

    What is the mission of your faith?

    Unitarian Universalism is a liberal, ecumenical religion that sees its roots as being in the liberal tradition of Unitarian Christianity, as well as the skeptical, rational thought of the enlightenment. UU also believes that all world cultures and religions have valid insight to offer in...

    Christian democratic

    http://www.politicususa.com/2015/03/23/ted-cruz-launches-2016-campaign-proclaiming-god-healthcare.html This is just once instance I'm aware of in which Cruz has claimed he speaks for God. Far from denying his father's idea that he's some kind of chosen leader of god, this all plays right to...

    Try to prove to me your religion.

    Yes there are still Unitarian Christians, but they are not necessarily associated with Unitarian Universalism, which is now proper its own religion. It calls itself both a liberal and ecumenical religion. There may be Unitarian Christians in UU, but their belief is solely their own. The doctrine...

    Christian democratic

    It isn't about Christians believing God is above the Supreme Court. Its about Christians who cannot keep church and state separate, like Ted Cruz. It is his personal politics that imply dominionism. While it may be true that his father is more staunchly vocal about it- has Ted ever opened his...

    Christian democratic

    Cruz says things consistent with a dominionist worldview such as God being above the Supreme Court, and America needing strongly Christian leaders. One hardly needs to claim dominionism when the stances are right on the money.

    Boy a stickler for details aren't you. Attended events with Swanson, but also refuses to downplay his endorsement. Cruz's strong dominionist views don't bother you?

    actually how to stop Cruz Thread

    I'm not to assured by either Cruz or Trump personally, and its hard for me to say which is worse. I could point to things they've both did and said that strike me as awful, and arguably worse than the other. It should worry Americans that this is what our elections have come down to on the...

    Christian democratic

    However, it appears that Ted Cruz has attended events with anti-gay pastor Kevin Swanson, which the media probably erroneously refers to as a 'death to gays' rally. However, the fact remains that Kevin Swanson has stated that homosexuals should be killed before.

    Well it appears that quote was incorrect and comes from a satire Facebook page. Snopes says its false, so I admit that was a bad quote.

    Meditation advice

    Don't try to do anything in particular in meditation. Just sit and breathe. Relax. Meditation calls us back to the moment, back to our place as it were, and we attain again the lucid state of tranquil bliss Epicurus called Ataraxia. There are other meditations one can do, such as walking...
