The World

I'm becoming fed up with this world, people telling what is the religous right, telling who can do what, what is right and wrong, I thought God accepted everyone, People always have to judge each other, People need to really see people in the inside, you need to see things how really are. I'm tired of the KKK with their discrimination, the Conservative Christians telling what's right and wrong and taking stuff out of the bible, we can achieve something greater in this world, we live in a beautiful world, but we abuse it abuse each other, this shouldn't be how we live.

I agree with your sentiment. People should be as polite and peaceful as possible (though we all fail at it sometimes). It really cuts down on the forum fires. :)

Human beings are categorizing creatures. This helps us deal with the world on a daily basis since, by placing things in categories, we don't need to deal with each thing individually everytime we see it. Where this becomes a problem is when we apply it to ourselves. This is one of the primary antecedents of racism.

Perhaps someday we will begin to comprehend that we actually have more in common with each other than we have to this point been willing to admit. Perhaps someday we will finally realize that we bear a great responsibility as cognitive creatures for the rest of all that lives. Unfortunately, I strongly suspect it will not be in my lifetime. :(

What these "Christians" should do is read Romans 13:10.

"Love does no wrong to anyone, so love satisfies all of Gods' requirements".

If that satisfies God, why do non-Christians who love still get told they will burn in hell?

Yeah, I got sick of the world. That's why I destroyed it. I'm waiting for my copy of Earth 2.0.

because:
-------------
Romans 10:9-10

9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
--------------

I don't think you're interpreting the word "love" the way Paul meant it. The Bible is clear as to the prerequisites for entering heaven. John 3:16 (Jesus talking) jives with Paul's rules in Romans.

Which is... belief in Jesus and acceptance of him is the linchpin of the gospels and the way to get it done.

All that said, I agree that judging others really sucks... only God has the power to judge us.

Maybe you can move to another one. Last I heard, there are supposed to be more than enough to give one to each of us. It's just a matter of getting there.

is a smoking gun and it's loaded. Soon it's going to blow you away. Up 'til now nobody has noticed, but we're going to have our say.

Hmm...thank you for that little lesson in Christian Theology.

I'm sure it will come in handy for my RMPS (religious, moral and philisophical studies) class.
