Technically still walked out.but calling all Christians weak minded? We can discuss another day. I don't believe people seeking to better themselves are weak.Personally though I believe the bible needs to be taken in a context. Like reading a textbook.. the textbook is relevant to the year it was written. Suicide is a mortal sin.. but the bible doesn't consider mental illness. Would a true loving God condemn you to hell for taking your own life due to a chemical imbalance in your brain?My personal interest in religion is actually more the mythology behind it. But theology is technically mythology with military/political backing telling people it is true right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone at this stage is assuming that the gays want the rights to get married in a church Nah they aren't that stupid They just want the gal equality to be able to spend your whole life with someone and be aknowledges as their legal partner and spouse without judgement ... And gay to straight .... Who doesn't hve the right to love, care for, make legal decisions for, power of atoerny and organise a funeral and estate for the person u loveMost people don't know the actual reason behind wanting equity But maybe if u look praise your bubble most people just want the legal rights thAt a married couple have It's not to impose on your sacred ritual or marriage and sign up for a life of eternal religious misery submitting to a sadistic God who states u must surrender to your partner forever Which Bye the way Straight people (religious or not ) are sh*t at and divorce rates are ridiculous So why not give the gays a shot Have we straight people not fhucked it up enough!

But o do believe that people are ignorant for not considering others views and opinionsAnd as I said if you have explored all avenues and come back to a certain religion because u have looked into all religions including tthe concept God may not exist then I understand, but u t such time you cannot make an informed judgement imo And weather people want to admit it or not statistics say that majority or religious people have not read their own religious text even once in its entirety .... Let alone anyone else's .... I challenge a catholic or Christian to say they have read and comprehend the full bible, every page, recite every verse, not as a show of me merit retention, but as a sign they are dedicated to their beliefs. And if they can I will take my hat off. I have loads of religious friends, Catholics, Muslims, budhists, atheists, Hindus and even agnostics and I judge none of them for their choice. However I do question their ability to comprehend what they are committing themselves to as a life full of those beliefs and their decisions. And I can say the most sense comes from the religions who chose not to judge. However that's only my Opjnion and as I said I may be wrong and probably am Edited 12/06/15 12:51 PM by Princess Whinginator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone's entitled to one ye?Isn't that a little contradictory? Just a little side note, if you really have read the bible in its entirety, you would know that the Catholic Church are lying to their members.Paul describes the Catholic Church in the last book of the bible (Revelation 17:3)As I said in my post, I expect to get flack for standing up for God, but I do not think you need to try denigrate me in such a vigorous fashion.You are obviously entitled to your opinion, but just because mine differs from yours doesn't make me an ignoramus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
