Don't pray for me! Pray for the homosexuals we think are perverts (but still love!). Jesus warned us against these perverts time and time again. God said it himself: they are after our children. We need more inteligunt desine in schools. we need to teach our childrens at home to keep them safe from this filth! our universities are filled with trash! God made everything. He is the answer to everything. Everything else is of the devil! White power

Putting the "free will" in my hands, eh? You have to wonder why God gave us free will to begin, don't you? There's a book I strongly recommend for the self-deluded: God's Problem by Bart Ehrman (a former fundie-turned-agnostic). And don't pity me: I take great pride in knowing that this our only shot at life and we should make the joyous most of it. Pity yourself for adhering to factually-devoid absolutes.

I guess I'm outside the camp...but you're in! Which reminds of one of my favorite Christoper Hitchens passages: “One of the very many connections between religious belief and the sinister, spoiled, selfish childhood of our species is the repressed desire to see everything smashed up and ruined and brought to naught. This tantrum-need is coupled with two other sorts of “guilty joy,” or, as the Germans say, schadenfreude. First, one’s own death is cancelled - or perhaps repaid or compensated - by the obliteration of others. Second, it can always be egotistically hoped that one will be personally spared, gathered contentedly to the bosom of the mass exterminator, and from a safe place observe the suffering of those less fortunate. Tertullian, one of the many church fathers who found it difficult to give a persuasive account of paradise, was perhaps clever in going for the lowest common denominator and promising that one of the most intense pleasures of the afterlife would be the endless contemplation of the tortures of the damned. He spoke more truly than he knew in evoking the man-made character of faith.”

Are you equating absence of Christ with anger? Is therefore 2/3 of humanity "damned" with a lack of truth and abundance of anger?

I know what your "truth" is (most definitely more so than you). And I wholeheartedly reject it. My truth is based on real answers gained through real knowledge; knowledge we all benefit from. And it wasn't the actions and brain-power of your local pastor or rabbi who helped extrapolate those benefits (guaranteed). The point of this exchange is as follows: We do not live in a theocracy. Our self-correcting and continuously-evolving democratic laws are based on a on-going accumulation of facts, knowledge, and experiences. Somehow, you think your religion is for everyone and its not. By a long shot. If it works for you, congratulations. Personally, I find it repulsive you need to be incentivized to serve others through heavenly rewards and divine favors rather than motivating yourself to do what is right because it is right.

Lip - what do you expect? Did you expect a free-flowing exchange of opinions on a religious website? At least today, all the religious can do is flag or delete posts deemed "inappropriate." When church had absolute authority, it typically murdered those who asked inconvenient questions (so for us non-believers, I guess we are making progress). I'd still like to you address faux's point. And speaking of condescending: your screen name is lip of truth; as if somehow you were divinely granted a monopoly on truth. It's both insulting and condescending to assume so.

I wonder if there is a scientifcally-based reason for this discriminatory idiocy? Probably not in an embarassingly superstitious-heavy country such as Romania. In 2005, an Orthodox monk was sentenced to 14 years in prison for chaining an innocent woman to a cross while denying her and food in an very unscientific attemtp to "exorcize a demon" out of her. She died as a result. No wonder Romania is poor. Ignorance = Poverty. Just look at the pious American South! There's no Harvard in Alabama!
