I've apologized more than once in this thread for coming across as being on a "High horse"...and I've stated I am in no way perfect. I'm trying to understand why some of you believe WHAT you do...thats all. I really and truly not mean to be a prick. I'm sorry! I care about everyone here...hell, I've been on here for 6 years. I will say this has sparked some interesting discussion.

WHAT?! Seriously? So, anyone brought up as a Christian who questions parts of the bible isn't a Christian anymore? What if they believe that Christ is the son of God, but not some of the stories in the bible?

And despite the fact that you keep telling us you're NOT judging, you continue to do so. You could say "that's interesting to hear, but I personally don't believe that." But you don't. You keep implying that people are wrong, or stupid, or pitiful with statements like "do you even believe in God?!" and "that is the fundamental belief!" I agree with whoever said that it seems that you want to hear people's beliefs just to tell them that they're wrong, or their beliefs are less important than yours because they don't have enough backup, rather than to truly understand them.

After being initially peeved about another bigoted Christian church, my only reaction is "to hell with them." Find another place for the funeral. And I most certainly wouldn't have taken their money...so kudos to the family for that.

Maybe he still liked his church. I don't think being gay automatically makes you hate your church, does it? I mean, if it were me, then I don't think I would want any part of it, but to each their own...

Supporting Bush doesn't make you a liberal. It makes you a moron.

And I believe that when people hang up that phone....well they cease to exist.

You can believe the man existed. Doesn't mean you have to believe he was the son of God.
