Quotes I was shown by my friend today that make me proud not to be a Christian. Sorry guys I have no online source but.
Miracles and Missions Digest: Jesus Compassion For an Aldulterous Women Dallas, TEXAS
"God will NOT ACCOMODATE any man or women to feed their lust of the flesh to allow hum or her to REMARRY... GOD only put two togethher--no more-- and they become ONE. And NO COURT or CHURCH LAW can amend that LAW! Marriage is NOT A NECESSITY-- God has made man and women so that they can live without sex. We do not expect "an old maid" who never got a chance to marry to have sex from time to time because she is lonesome or "has " to have sex. God says that if she ever did get a chance to marry, she could be put away immediately as soon as her husband discovered she was not a virgin."
This quote seems like it should be from the 1930's yet it comes out of modern day TEXAS, what trash!!!

Yes, because one church speaks for the whole of Christianity,which I remind you is comprized of literally thousands (perhaps even tens of thousands) of religious sects with apposing views. These guys are idots, I don't know the Bible as well as I should, but I would rip their little theory in half like a loaf of communion bread! (little bit of a religious reference) At any rate, at least this ideology does nothing bad for society and in most cases, is actually very helpful in making it through one's personal life. I am saddened to see you posting crap like this up and saying that people who have great faith in something (no matter how weird or twisted) and are doing society a service as a whole, are something that should be scorned. At least they believe in something.

I just get mad to think that men who write panphlets like this influence anyone. These ideas are degrading to women and it contains many more bad ideology that has no place in modern society. I probably should make it clear that I do not believe all Christianns are like this, but this guy has the audacity to send it to thousands of people in the mail. That is annoying and deserves ridicule. I will refrain from posting more bad examples of Christianity again, but it is certainly easy to find. I respect anyones religous choice as long as it is not degrading to any sex, race, creed or sexual preferance. PEACE

Thats respectable. But you have to remember, Some things that are "degrading to women" in your opinion, are not degrading at all to many of the women that are "degraded" I tend to agree that religion as a whole is hypocritical and can be degrading (mainly due to the human influence in said religions) However, most religions also teach and encourage people to live in a moral and just way by teaching people that there is a higher power that all must answer to. Like it or not, this dwarfs any minor discrepancies that may (and do) occur (with the exception of egregious acts done by extremists...and there are some in every camp).

What you speak of dude sounds like cultural relativism. If certain cultures believe that one form of discrimination in one culture is normal while in another it is considred normal, that is cultural relativism. That is admidting that there are no universals and therefore one religion is not the absolute truth.
I agree that religion has done many great things still it does not make it for everyone. Religion has also been used to commit some of the worst travisties in the history of the human race. So I admidt there is good and bad to all religions.
A country of pure atheists/agnostics would probably also be a benevolent society that used altruism, yet was violent and discriminatory. In the end, I believe even a atheist/agnostic society would create some kind of religion, as it seems it is humanities nature to need an answer.
Glad to hear you have a new healthy baby girl!!!
