[That would be a first. Doctrines, it seems are for changing. At least we don't burn witches any more. [/color] Burning may be out but not killing and child abuse. It is my view that all literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us who are Religionists. They all hurt their parent religions and every...

Sounds like you expect the Church to walk it’s talk. Good luck with finding one that does. Regards DL Hi Greatest, I don't know if I am looking toward "man" in order to find "truth" or God. I see religion and the Church to be flawed because it is a man made concept. This is diff...

In answer to the question does the church have the right to discriminate, seems obvious that the church has a right to stick to its doctrines. Sticking to your doctrines is not what this is about.

The right to discriminate is essential to a moral society. The problem for the state is that it doesn't have the right to d...

For all the griping about homosexuals being discriminated against by this or that group, homosexuality has never been more accepted or acceptable in human history . I took a cruise the other day and they had a chapter of 'Friends of Dorothy' on board. It is quite common now to have these gay gather...

Does the Church have the right to discriminate over and above the state standards? The Gay marriage issue may be instrumental in the destruction of Church and Mosque discrimination without just cause against certain sub groups within our greater society. Notably, Gays, women, slaves and sexual pract...
