Religion & Spirituality > Islam Explaining the modest status of women in Islam: 2 of 15
I watched on the Discovery Channel a 16 year old girl being hanged in Iran. She apparently had committed crimes against Islamic laws of chastity. This was her fourth offense, therefore, she was sentenced to death. Although the impropriety was on the part of the man who (he was much older than she) raped her, he was sentenced... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Gay rights and the Christian church: 29 of 141
It amazes me the people who say that being in a same sex relationship is a sin. When I ask them where to find in the Bible that a monogamous same sex relationship is a sin, without fail, I have gotten the same answer. I don't know, but that is what I have been told. The truth of the matter is this: No where in the Bible does... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Christianity and sex: Assessing the compatibility of religious beliefs and sexuality: 6 of 20
A lot of "religions" have rules that allow the head of that religion to have sex with the parishioners children? The rape of little girls goes on all the time in the name of religions. Islam allows girls to give sexual consent at the age of nine. Mormonism allows the husband to have as many wives as possible. The Catholic ch... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Science, religion and who's right about the creation of the earth: 19 of 59
It takes faith to believe in the "Big Bang Theory" and it takes faith to believe in Creation. In my opinion it takes more faith to believe the big bang than it does in God...I mean really now. First there was nothing. Then there was space, suddenly, that came from....nothing. Now in this space was (you guessed it) nothing. S... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: Reflections on Psalm 23: 7 of 20
What a beautiful picture of the comfort and protection of our Lord. The Bible says that He is going to take care of all our needs. A lot of times this is the Psalm that is used at funerals because of it's comforting text. The fact that we have not to fear the "shadow of death" because He is with us. In our darkest hours we c...

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Searching for truth in the Bible: 28 of 63
The Bible says, "You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free." A person need not search for truth in the Bible if they believe what is written in the Bible that "All Scripture is given by God...", and we know that God is the truth. The Bible also promises that "...if you seek, you will find..." So for those who... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Christian pastors who lead falsely: The evils men do: 5 of 10
A Pastor used to be the most trusted person in a community. When people were going through difficult times, sadness, grief, and devastation, the first person that they used to call was the Preacher. When did they lose that trust and respect. Perhaps it was the Bakers, Jim and Tammy Faye who started people into doubting. What... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Islam The children of Ishmael: 1 of 2
Ishmael, son of Hagar and of Abraham. Abraham the father of the Jews. It appears that the Jewish people and the "children of Ishmael" are half brothers. You see, God had promised Abraham that he would be blessed with many "sons". He was told by God that his seed would number the stars or the sand of the sea. Abraham, the fat... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Are homosexual acts natural or sinful?: 35 of 59
I am a Christian. I was grew up in a Fundamentalist Baptist home and Church. I went to school in a Baptist school and I have received Jesus as my personal Saviour. I can probably out quote 80 percent of most Pastors when it comes to quoting the Bible. I am a woman. My spouse that I have chosen is a woman. I never really thou... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing Why it's better to forgive or forget: 13 of 21
Who makes these rules? Forgive or Forget. Obviously this is something that is suggested from a person who has never been so injured by another that there entire life is changed forever. This is something that is suggested by someone who has never been kidnapped or raped or molested for years. To forgive and/or forget is the ... More..
