I don't SAY I'm Christian, I AM Christian. It doesn't matter how many 'pages'
need to be ONE item and I wouldn't shop there. "...people, just like the rest of us...", "these types of attitudes..." hmmm...well, I stand by my convictions, it doesn't mean I'm judging anyone. It's my choice not to shop at stores that sell gay and lesbian related items. Say you're lesbian and your with your partner, and we bumped into each other in the mall, I wouldn't be disrespectful to you, but that doesn't mean that I agree with your lifestyle either.

its YOUR body girlfriend....tell him you are done having children. period. end of discussion. period. period. period. (get it??? keep on with the periods!)
Puhleez re-read my post and see....
that I said Denver is mid-west TO ME - in terrain, being like Nebraska which MOST DEFINITELY IS mid-west in terrain and in culture.
I said Denver is NOT geographically the mid-west. I know US geography and I know Denver is considered west. I am not geographically challenged.
Nuff said.
Freedom first and most important
My husband has only danced with me ONCE during our entire (more than two-decade) marriage and that was under extreme pressure from his buddies (we were out with a group of friends, mostly couples).
I lost my identity for a long time but after YEARS of marriage I am starting to get it back. Baby steps, but little by little...
Freedom of Speech--What has happened to it? sm
According to the first amendment of our constitution, everyone has the right to speak freely. This was a *personal* blog and not on school property. As mentioned before, could perhaps speak to the parents and let the parents decide punishment, but I do not believe the school should have the right to suspend a child for voicing his/her *opinion*. If the child said that to the teacher's face, that would be different. A blog is really no different than writing a diary or perhaps even a book. Just because it is on line and available for everyone to see, does not change her right to say what she said. It is just an opinion and everybody is entitled to one. I would be more upset with the person who printed it out and showed it to the school teacher. Who made that person a *blod monitor*??? just my opinion -- entitled to it, just like every one else.
i beg to differ. I wish i had freedom FROM religion
I get treated by a leper because I am athiest.
LOVE the freedom from other humans, but
N/M
the world isn't losing freedom of speech...
Just the Christians! Talk about anything except God, Jesus, Church, etc., and we're gonna pay and pay dearly for it, I am afraid! 
My freedom what I dinna realise was quite so nice until later.
//
You misinterpret what freedom of speech means.
It means you are free to speak against the government on public property without fear of retribution.
You don't have a right to slam others and a blog is on private intellectual property, and probably not even that girl's own private website.
You can have your own opinions but you don't have a right to just throw them about carelessly and harm the reputation of others.
Haven't you heard? Freedom of religion isn't for...SM
Christians. It's for everyone else. Sure a Muslim can pray in this country anytime they want, heck you can worship satan himself or practice witchcraft, but a be a Christian and actually admit you are one, let alone pray or read your Bible in public... come on, are you serious? You know every Christian has a secret agenda. We're just proselytizing little brainwashed fools. We're not just praying quietly to ourselves -- we are praying God will send a lightening bolt and strike all the unbelievers. We Christians aren't just placing our Bibles on our desks to read during our breaks -- we HOPE to beat someone over the head with it at some point during the day.
Freedom of religion has been twisted by the liberal spin doctors. It only applies to to those who think like them.... ironic isn't it?
"The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them." -- Lenny Bruce
That's what I LOVE about America. Freedom of Religion, speech, etc. But sm
I have to say, if you are an atheist (I am a Christian, BTW), where is your moral "compass" (sorry for the pun) I was an atheist for many, many years (3/4 of my life spent without God or religion). In that time I was: Suicidal, desperate, a liar, a phony, had no direction in life, a slander and just about everything else worldly you could think of. I was selfish..must I go on?
Then, when I hit rock bottom I had no where to look but up. He was there (God). He placed me upon a rock and I've never looked back or down since. I can honestly say I no longer lie or think bad thoughts about other people. I have a clear direction for my life. I do follow Biblical principles and obey His laws. I have a moral compass and a value system I am so proud of. As an atheist there was no right or wrong in my life. Since I didn't fear God I did basically whatever I felt was good or right, even believe in abortion. I am being totally transparent with you, from one ex-atheist to another atheist.
How do you explain a radical life change such as myself? Where do you draw your line of morality from? God says abortion is wrong and so it's wrong. God says a gay lifestyle is an abomination, and so it is. Don't get mad at me, It's in His Word. He said it. Not me.
Anyways, I think that there is much to be said about living a good Christian lifestyle and following its beliefs. My life is in clear order now instead of chaos. I have a life-long goal - to make it to heaven and take those whom I love with me.
What a sad, sad life I led before God. Wow. Like the old saying goes, "I never want to go back to my old life." Good luck to you.
A shame this place is so catty. But that is freedom of speech for you.
People come here to be supported, but need to realize there are all kinds of opinions out there. When you place yourself on a public forum to be supported expect to be bashed. That is the way of the world unfortunately. Just learn to try to see who wants to help and who wants to hurt. All kinds of agendas here. Your instincts will tell you who is real and who are the trolls. To all who are well-meaning here and look for support,or provide constructive criticism hang in there. Just filter out the bad and take away from it what you will.
And being Christian,
it's okay to try and take a cheap shot at me? Hmm...yourself.
You would see me with my husband for your info.
You just still do not get it. Wasting my breath.
what i have to put up with as a Christian
I cannot pray in public. My children cannot pray in school. Basically I can never mention God in any conversation w/o being called a fanatic like I am some kind of third world kook ready to strap on a bomb. My children and I can hardly watch TV anymore because of the language or sexual content. Even most commercials are to explicit for my young ones to see. I cant even hardly watch the news anymore w/o screening it first. I cant go to a store or a public place with my kids w/o them being exposed to half dressed women/men. Sometimes we get to be exposed to men dressed as women or vice versa. I cant go to the movie store with my kids and browse through the selections w/o seeing many, many movies with lesbians or gay men on the cover of the movie boxes, lying in bed half naked. So, this is what I have to be exposed to daily and this is what my INNOCENT children have to be exposed to daily. Dont tell me I am not tolerant.
A bit harsh. For me, I am Christian, and though I don't
think you should live the way you think is right. In the end, truth will prevail. As a Christian, I will pray for you just as I do others.
Now Tinks, you should know better than that as a Christian. sm
I, too, am a Christian, but I don't think it was very kind of you to tell her "you are not as selfless as you want everyone to think." That was mean.
Remember what Christ said? He said to season our words with love and be gentle and kind. You can post Scripture all day long but until you model gentleness and kindness I doubt many will listen.
From one sister to another....
Prayers for you - I am a Christian and I truly believe (sm)
that she is with God. A person as good as she was certainly does not go for eternity anywhere other than in God's presence. I believe this with my whole heart, and I hope that you can too. Don't even think about the doctors' part in her death. Just think of it as God wanted her home, and so he took her.
Christian Dior
I love their lipsticks and lip glosses also. I like the darker shades like shades of brown or pinks for summer. they have pretty good staying power. a bit expensive though but worth it!
wow that's mighty christian of you
you people remind me again and again of why i'm not...
Dr. Christian Troy
No, I haven't heard his Australian accent. In fact, it was only recently that I learned that he's an Aussie! I have no idea how they do that. Joley Richardson does, too. I think that's why she speaks so slowly.
The season finale only left me wanting more, as per usual. It's really dark, but so "out there!" I just wish they'd do more shows!
Dr. Christian Troy
Oh, so smokin' hot! 
Oh believe me, I know what a pushy Christian is you see,
I am a pastor's wife and I see them every day, and mostly in church on Sundays. You know the people who care about what other people think and who forget about what God thinks. You know, those types.
way to go you christian jerks
I'm Christian and it really irks me to see that he was being harassed by Christians because he doesn't believe in God. That is not a description of true faith by any means. Those soldiers destroyed their witness to him and that in itself is a sin... this man will never come to faith if he continues to be treated like this. I wouldn't want to either if I were him.
am a Christian, but it is really a tradition
of man; the Bible doesn't tell us when Christ was really born, and doesn't authorize Christmas as a Christian holiday, tho it still has a religious flavor, it is certainly not a religious holiday in the strict sense.
There were both secular and christian surveys done and they
all came out to be about the same result. Next, you'll ask me for proof. When I have a few spare minutes I'll try to find the links. In the meantime, you can search the net and likely find them.
See my answer, Teresa, below and you will see about the Christian
thing. You never really know another person. I would have never thought my father would molest his own flesh and blood but it happened and yet he was a very "Christian" man to the others in his community. Sounds like the people in the neighborhood when one of their neighbors murders someone and they say "well he was the nicest man, never would have thought he would have done this, quiet, kept to himself" - yeh right.
The Christian community has always thought they were better than everyone else.
Religion has often been the catalyst of wars...hence the one we are in now.
Actually, if you're a strong Christian
and grounded in your faith, you are going to wear it everywhere you go because that is what Jesus instructed us to do. Our job on this earth is to preach the gospel to all people so that they might come to know him.
I'm sorry that it bothers you (and don't say it doesn't because it obviously does) but if you don't like the the posts of Jan, mammamt and others who have chosen to profess their faith then don't read them but please don't knock them down.
I know this is an absolutely futile argument but I just had to throw my 2 cents in there.
do the christian posts intimidate you?
Maybe you're afraid you'll read something that convicts you? It has happened, you know.

I like to name things. I will be back after I take my "power nap." Hope it works, I have 10 more hours to work!
I, too, am a Christian. I totally agree with some of what you
said; however, she is not putting her husband in an impossible situation. He CHOOSES to be in the impossible situation. The Bible plainly says that a man is to leave his father and mother and stick with his wife. He should be man enough to stand up to his family and tell them if his wife is not included he won't be there either. Of course, they ALL should work to resolve their differences. Somebody needs to get to the bottom of the matter. If the difference can't be resolved, though, he should stick with his wife. No, he shouldn't have to choose between his wife and his family, but sometimes that's just the way it is. If my husband was not welcome in the homes of my parents and my sisters, I wouldn't go either. When I married him, WE became a family first and foremost.

Are you a Christian? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself. I am so sick of sm
women, especially women, who degrade other women, especially when they are a Christian. I swear, if it weren't for my strong relationship with Christ who draws me to Him every single day, I would hate everything Christian because of those who judge and throw stones and think they are so much better than everyone else. Let me tell you - I am a Christian. The only different between me and the atheist (I used to be one) is that by the Grace of God I am saved now. That is it. I am no better, not one bit, than anyone else. You will never win anyone over with statements like the one you just made.
Christian chat room
I would like to know if there are any Christian chat rooms for medical transcribers
judeo-christian ethics ??
does it have to be Christian values - or would Jewish values work as well - does that bible someone is holding to include the old testament as well as the new ????
why only Christian? (inside your post)...
This is why we have to get religion out of it........why only Christians should be president of the USA, the melting pot of the world....? Makes absolutely no sense to me....
Plus, I thought we separated church and state when I was like 5 years old (going back many decades)....
Perhaps someday somebody who practices Hindism or Buddhism might want to be president....
from a practicing devout Christian
we should indeed learn about different religious beliefs -- but God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). There is ONE faith, not many (Ephesians 4:5). He has outlined in His inspired Word what the 'church' consists of (Eph 1:22, 23), how it is to be governed (Elders, deacons and their requirements), how it is structured (Christ is the head), how we are added to it (Acts 2:47, 2:41). Christ 'built' His church (Matthew 16:18), not the catholic church, not the lutheran, baptist, mormon, etc., but His church. I do agree in being respectful, but also in stating the Biblical truth in a factual matter. And remember, we are not to add to or take away from His Word.

as my version of "born again christian"
is a person with that pitchfork on their shoulder still and for life - oh I forgot, you will get to heaven because you are a "born again christian"...well not really, just a sinner who wants to get to heavan in the worst way!! Good luck..I'll be there before you..I lived a good life and do not need to spew hate and intolerance. How sorry I am for you. By the way, if you are a christian, is this the way you act?? Oh, I forgot, yes it is. You ARE THE BEST AND THE PUREST!! Excuse me.
LMAO!!!!
In my opinion, and as a Christian and Christ follower, you should be
upset that Christmas is termed "offensive" to a lot of people and that so many other religions want to use the birth of our Savior to "take time off work," "exchange gifts," "cook elaborate meals," and the like, YET, they don't want to use the term CHRISTmas when shopping, etc.
If people really wanted to stand by their convictions, I like what my husband has to say: Offer those who don't believe in Christmas the opportunity to go to WORK on those days instead of enjoying the time with their families on that special day since they seems so "offended" by the term Christmas.
Christmas is what it is. As Christians we shouldn't get into heated debate about it, but stand by your convictions that it is wrong to be "inclusive" or say Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings! The bottom line is that this time of year is special and celebrated because of one thing: The Birth of Jesus. Get mad. That's the truth. If other religions want to start their own holiday then make up a reason and go for it. I won't be offended if I go into a mall or store and they begin shouting or saying "Happy To Be An American Day!" Good for them. Just don't ride on the backs of the birth of our Lord and then try to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTmas!
Oh, Lord, save me from your Christian followers.

As a Christian I have to stick up for Pat Roberts and television sm
evangelists. They work hard for their money. They earned their money. If you don't believe in what they are doing, then don't give any. Plain and simple.
After Katrina hit, Pat Roberts and his ministry set up camp down there and helped thousands of people (I saw it first-hand), which leads me to believe that the camps he leads in Africa and Asia, etc., must be real. He "take" other people's money and then distributes it where he feels led. What business is it of yours if that is what he is called to do? And why do you think he has to live in a shack because he is a t.v. evangelist. God is an excellent God and is not sloppy. He wants Christians to live in the Promised Land, full of riches and honey (it is clearly in the Bible). It is called God's blessings. You should read up on it.
I'm sick and tired of Christians and nonChristians who think that just because you live in a big house or drive a fancy car that you are not entitled to it because you are an evangelist. Pat makes money by writing BOOKS and speaking engagements, too, which earns you A LOT of money. Bill Clinton earned 38,000,000 in speaking engagements after his first year of leaving the oval office.
Our pastor who leads a very large congregation, lives in a gated community and drives a Mercedes. I love the guy! What an example! Hey, I'd be worried if he preached the Gospel and about living in the Promise Land and lived in a trailer behind on his auto payments. Please. He travels the country, has written several books and also sells real estate, ON TOP of his large ministry.
Soooo many people are totally misinformed about t.v. evangelists. Just because they are asking for money they think that all the money coming in goes to furnish their lavish lifestyle. I have done my research. That is NOT TRUE!! They make their money in a lot of other ways.
Pat is a rich guy, but he certainly does not make it through giving. Neither does Joel Osteen who pastors a church of 20,000 people. He has a median salary and lives in a mansion.
So, quit being so sick and tired of these t.v. evangelists and all that they have. Have you ever thought for a SECOND that God has blessed them IMMENSELY because they faithfully serve Him and obey His word? God blesses those HE chooses.
Peace to you.
Ashley is married to the guy that played Christian on (sm)
Y&R. His real name is Christian something or other.
i'm athiest and I agree. Christian holidays have been
easter bunny, santa claus. It almost seems like businesses are exploiting your beliefs by pressuring you into buy bigger, buy more for your family than you did last year.
Is it a white frosting? could this be it?
I don't know if this is crunchy, but it does get sort of a crust on the outside after awhile. If this isn't it, maybe some more info? |
