The strange is, the only people who vote republican are religious, poor suckers in the central and southern states. It's them being poor and stupid that makes the Republicans win, and what makes America rich.

Yea lol. I want to believe that what we read in the bible is not the drect word of God, and is more "word of mouth" as it were. I mean seeing as I am bisexual and have no control over the feelings I have for people I believe God created me this way. But I don't want to believe that he wants be to deny myself the homosexual feelings just so I can have an eternal life in heaven and not go to hell.
thats badass
do you think there are a lot of self identifying homosexual or bisexual religious people around? What is your take on the anti-gay Christian propaganda?

I don't believe God knows what paths we will choose, or else he wouldn't have given us free will. Our lives are always subject to change by the actions which we choose (right or wrong). God doesn't create us to go to hell. He creates us with the hope that we will choose his path to eternal life, however we can deter from this path at anytime without Gods control.
if he does not know what path we choose form then he is not omniscient, as omniscience means knowing ALL, and thats a defining trait of god in almost all major relegiond{islam., christianity, judaism} also the basis of being god, ALL POWERFUL, or omnipotence requires that you have the power to see all and not let anything go without u knowing which means that if he doesnt know then he is not ALL POWERFUL. those are the basic arguments specially for a christian god. the main fact is the omnipotene/omniscience can not exist side to side with free will, so if u believe in an all powerful god u certainly have to believe in there being no free will.
Originally posted by NellinatorA bit of both. Then again, the states that show up Republican are usually Louisiana, Georgia, Utah, Colorado etc. but the ones who show up Democratic are Massachusetts, Maine, California etc.

Oh and I think each to there own. If God has created us all equal then why should we judge others?
