jfxrsch @jfxrsch (1041) • China 30 Dec 08

Smoking is not allowed in many public places. It's fine. It's good for the public health. But, why not we stop drinking in public? or stop other negative habit in public? I'm not saying that I want people smoke freely in...

Do you believe that your 'religion' exempts you from following the law?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 18 Dec 08

I have to ask this question because of a current discussion I am still in where there are some people who INDEED feel this is okay! Why would you believe you should receive special treatment? Why would you believe you are somehow...

remrick I'm a Christian, and the Bible teaches us to submit to rulers and authorities. And that means respecting the rule of law. At the same time, the Bible promotes social justice. But I believe resistance to rulers and authorities is not the way. (Though at times,...

Turn the other cheek

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 15 Dec 08

I am not at all religious although I try to live my life in a "Christian" way. However, I got to wondering how often I "turn the other cheek". Do you turn yours?

kaliyha @kaliyha (591) • Philippines 14 Dec 08

Cannibalism in the Bible

Khayam @Khayam (346) • Romania 12 Dec 08

Cannibalism, is in my oppinion, something that is not compatible with the system of reference of the God, and I would never thought that the Christian Bible could mention it once. I must confess that I'm totally confused. Not...

remrick I agree with what 1hopefulman said... It's not like God actually ordered or "forced" people to engage in cannibalism... these were prohetic writings, written by ezekiel and jeremiah, and they were warning israel of the destruction they were bringing upon...

Why Lucifer can't benefit from Redemption?

Khayam @Khayam (346) • Romania 26 Nov 08
