  • You are in my Prayers

    I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

  • Religious Communities

    I have always wondered why most of the older religious priests, monks, nuns do not wear the old habits nor want to revisit the old rules and regulations. Why do these wonderful old people seem to firmly put the past behind them and generally do not speak too warmly about their past pre-Vatican II experience? Having had many discussions with ...

  • Scientology and where they go

    It is kind of a stupid question, ''If you die as a Scientologist, what happens to you?''. As a Christian, the obvious answer is you go to hell, simple as that. Doing good is not the way to get to heaven as a lot of people believe. As the Bible says, you MUST believe Christ died on the cross for your sins and you MUST accept Christ as your ...

  • Why Serena Won't Vote

    No where in the Bible does it say not to vote. It clearly states that we are to obey those in Government authority and it is a voluntary law and our right to be able to vote. Many 'religions' take the Word of God out of context to suite their own traditions and their own lifestyles. Jesus called the religious leaders 'hypocrites' because they ...

  • Jehovah Witnesses ? 1% of vote

    For Jehovah's Witnesses a group that would only be 1% of the population of the United States they certainly do make an impact with their evangelizing and spreading the Gospel. You can't miss Jehovah's Witnesses in the overall society of the United States. I love their evangelism and I admire the fact that they so encourage reading and public ...

  • Lieing Hypocrites

    What an article. Talk about no research. Did the author just call up the JW PR department and copy down everything they told him? Yes, the Watchtower Society promoted the fact that the poor Witnesses in the African country of Malawi were being persecuted because they were told by the Watchtower not to buy a political I.D. card. If they did the ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Re: See no evil, through a veil

    Ms Schmidt, you propose a false dichotomy with biased terminology intended to elevate your moral and intellectual position. 'Free vs oppressive system' is such an example. As I have mentioned elsewhere here on the Fray, true ''freedom'' is beyond human reach- it is a utopic ideal. It would arguably be more accurate to call the matter of wearing ...

  • Popery

    One of my 1st memories, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a parish priest preaching a sermon on the Vatican's treaty with Italy's Fasciasts & how it helped the RC' minister to a war torn world. The church was in the Arcdioces of Cincinasty. The Archbishop was an avid analiguist for & to Pius 12. He even named a high school for ...
