God and Homosexuality

Another problem I have with a lot of religions is self-righteous people saying that homosexuality is wrong, according to the Bible. The same part of the Bible that states that homosexuality is wrong, instructs us not to wear a garmet made of two different materials. How can an individual believe only one of two statements next to each other? Could it be that no one actually believes the Bible is God's word, they are just afraid to admit it? Could it not be God, but just that self-righteous people have a problem with homosexuality? That sounds like the answer. My God is all-loving, isn't yours?

Direct Ancestors

If primates are not our direct ancestors, than why do you suppose that we share 98% of our genetic make-up with them?

Moral Guidance

Doesn't it seem a little backwards to take your moral guidance from an organization that allows molesting young boys but not birth control?

George W. Bush and other Christian Conservatives want to mix religion and government. They are under the false impression that our Founding Fathers wanted it that way. They did not.

Isn't that what we are fighting for in the Middle East? The problems that occur when religion and government are so intertwined? Religion and government should stay as far apart as possible. Will we ever learn?

Humanism

Humanism is not controlled by superstition or any religious intolerance. It seeks to improve the human condition...for all humans, African, Asian & Middle Eastern included.

If all the energy and money that was put into churches was just used to make life better for others, just think what might happen.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there.

Creation?

Where do these Bible thumpers, not anyone who reads the Bible, but those who interpret Genesis literally think coal and oil come from? Coal and oil are from vegetation from millions of years ago. I think to have others take them seriously they should not drive cars or mow their lawns, unless of course, they use a push mower or live in an area where the weather calls for heating the home. It is slightly hypocritical to use resources that originated before the Biblical story of the earth only being about ten thousand years old.

It is plain that people that believe the Bible is God's word are experts at being hypocritical, picking and choosing the parts of "God's word" that is convienent to follow. An example would be condeming gays since they are going against the wishes of God but feeling it is all right to wear clothing of different materials. You either believe the Bible or you do not. It is that simple.
