satan in judaeo christian scripture is not actually the enemy,as on comparable footing with God. God created all things so something God created cannot possibly challenge him,i.e. he gives permission for satan to test job. now in zoroastrianism God has a dark side that is ahriman that will...

i'm also sick of the word islamophobia,you dont use the word christophobia when describing radical christian groups....so silly

its all in the OT,shades,sheol,waiting for judgement etc.

i didn't say it belonged to anyone but since time immemorial it's been a pagan sun symbol,among other things....only recently did it become a symbol of death.

catholicism is so far from what jesus was trying to do it's ridiculous. i grew up going to catholic churches because half the family is RC. after studying the bible,and everything else,i came to find that catholicism just isn't what i think "christianity" is.

a church and priests aren't needed to feel the presence of God,the kingdom of God is in you....the indwelling of the temple of your heart. i grew up going to catholic churches half the time and although the tridentine mass is a beautiful ritual i just didn't agree with it. i simply never agreed...

there have been gays since people figured out how to do it,it won't be going away anytime soon and will most likely spread as people are desensitized and jaded so early and exposed to too many confusing things without proper guidance. i could care less what people choose to do with one another...
