I'm interested in what he says, I simply find that he is basing his generalization on falsehood. How can you compare two sets of priorities when one is false? Actually, I'm basing my generalization on past experience, which is another name for prejudice. And there lies the problem. This is my first
Wrong. The whole "Spongebob is gay" thing started in the homosexual community, mostly online, and has nothing to do with what you are talking about. Nothing in your article has anything to do with what really happened. I guess you were paying more attention to your lunch than CNN. When you write blogs you should take the time to
"Is Sponge Bob gay?" That is the story that came on CNN as I ate my lunch today. The first thought that came into my head is "You've got to be kidding me." An evangelical Christian group called Focus on the Family was offended by the sexual content found within the kids show Sponge Bob Square pants. The TV showed militant fifth graders taking to the streets to protest
Thank you for proving my point
Hey what's up! Good to see you've got your blog on! - S
Hmm, Brendan it sounds as if your faith has died. You once believed in God but cannot anymore. You are the prophet Habbakuk who said, "O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, "Violence!" And You will not save. 3 Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises. 4 Therefore the la
In every tragedy, there are two sides. A victim and a victimizer. In wars and natural disasters, anywhere there is pain and suffering, you have these two categories. Now every comment I've heard so far assumes that God is a cold, distant god all powerful and unaccessible. It is a Greek concept of God. He sits high above us and watches impassively at our suffering and confusion. Even the Christian arguements I've heard that seek to defen
Welcome to a fruitful discussion on the relevance of the Christian evangelical faith in a post-modern context...or simply a place to vent opinions and thoughts no matter how ludicrous or ill-conceieved!
If you insist, you may keep silence and run from God. It doesn't appear to be all that satisfying to you as it wasn't for David. Bu,t far better it be for you as it was David after he confessed, The only sin I ever committed was wasting my life for fear of becoming my father. There is tremendous powe
iamheather - This man is your Creator. Your Father in the flesh full of unconditional love for his children. Do you have any children? If so, would you need them to ask you for help? Would you wait to intervene until they were suffering? No, you would do anything for them. Must a parent receive love to love? Absolutely not. Sabbatimus - That is it is through the dark night of the soul, that God makes His closest friends. Thank you
iamheather - I think you are more at war with your own self than with God. He is still there, waiting for you, His child. Faith is a gift, but you must be open to receive the gift. Perhaps you are right. Perhaps God is all around us, weeping with us, laughing alongside us. The ghost of Jesus haunts this world even when we have forgotten him. I once heard an old story about a fourth magi. He saw the star, reasoned its meaning and set off to
iamheather - I am so sorry that you have not met Christians who wanted to reach out, listen, and comfort you. This is not true. I have met you and can sense you have a kind heart. I have met others in the Church like you. But this war is between me and God. Deep down, I've always known Jesus was my god. I cannot say He is everyone's God, but I swore an oath to him. My word bound my soul to him. But I was the one who rebelled and broke rank
When Christianity first appeared on the scene, it existed in a polytheistic culture. The 'Way' had to compete against all sorts of occult religions, Greek philosophies, and your bread and butter polytheists. I remember a temple of Aphrodite(?) getting upset at Paul for cutting into their profits. Apparently, religion was big business back then and even as it is now. However, all through European history and the early parts of American history,
