I would not bash anyone for their beliefs

however, I do disagree. If my child came to me that he/she were gay, I would never in a million years tell them I disapprove of their lifestyle and that God does not approve either. As a mother, I would want my child happy and comfortable with their sexuality. I think a lot of damage is caused by parents who enforce their beliefs on their children. With it comes guilt, low self-esteem, unhappiness, self-disdain and anger. I would never ever subject my child to those feelings no matter how I felt about the situation.

Why do people bash on
Do they believe that there is no truth in the idea that you attract what you put out there? If so, the Secret is hardly the first time that theory's been spread.
Just curious
I would never bash the girls.
But she puts herself out there. She craves the limelight, was on 6 major magazine covers the first month (that was on the news last night), and she always seems to get her digs in when she wants. As far as I'm concerned, she's fair game.
And you have a right to your beliefs, however (sm)
as I said in my original post, these people do not represent Christians. They are a hate group and should not be considered anything other than that.
she is just expressing her feelings, do NOT BASH HER FOR THAT..
YOU HAVE SOME NERVE !!!!
Are you talking about the Hash Bash?
It used to be on April 1st, I think it originated in Ann Arbor. I know they used to do it at University of Michigan, but not sure if they still do. It was started in the 1960s.
Don't bash or attack me for that, but wasn't
AIDS a consequence of this 'lifestyle' or am I missing here something?
Yes, beliefs would be correct. Why would you sm
live your life like that - not being positive or certain about anything? I, for one, believe in God deeply and I take Him at His word and if He makes a promise I hold Him to it and He's yet to forsaken me. Unless you've been there I guess you can't understand what I mean.
I know things can happen. I've been through some extremely difficult times in my life (losing a child), but I do say words like refuse and I AM, or I WILL and then I do them. I don't leave my life up to chance. I don't say I hope to do this or that. If I want something bad enough I go after it and usually don't quit until I get it. Yes, it's in my beliefs. It's my core. It's who I am. I am very positive, despite the many setbacks I've had in life.
I think the question is, is he secure with HIS beliefs?
I always wondered about religious zealots....Like those who are extremely "homophobic" but then turn out to be closeted gays (ever seen American Beauty?) maybe he's just trying to convince himself he believes.
Beliefs, those do not even play into any of this warped thread
I just believe in what I think, no amount of reading could ever change my mind because I have seen for myself, not something I have read- seen as in children crying trying to urinate, trying to get the prepuce pulled back, hurting and yelling. You are ridiculous.
You need to read some books on early Hebrew beliefs

For example, I have a lot of opinions and beliefs....do you want to send your child (or another chil
and let me tell them what I think is right and wrong and teach them however I see fit? Or do you think the child's parents have that right?
