Frankly, I don't like the term 'hate' because its not what Christians are about - that is only what you THINK they are about.As for those random quotes about rape, well thats just wrong isn't it (although I think adoption > abortion).The thing is, they don't "hate woman" as you put it - no more than I hate homosexuals (I don't) or prostitutes (I don't). These people have beliefs, same as you do. I'm not arguing with you anymore because your idea of what the church is is so warped it makes no sense to me, and we can't discuss something that we don't agree on the basics of.
About teh raining thing...If it wasnt God i'd have to say i was extremely lucky. More so than a four leaved clover, rabbits foot, golden horse shoe, etc...but it was supposed to be on the light side... yeesh. this thread is making some of you bitter...but seriously.

its called coincidence you idiot.*now children if you look to your left you will see religious brainwashing in action. The victim is so severly brainwashed that he thinks any small coincidence such as a gap in the weather as a act of god*i mean seriously dude how thick are you.Oh wait you used hacks in BF2142 so you must be pretty stupid, where was your god when you got busted for that?
http://www.conservapedia.com/HomosexualHomosexuality is an immoral sexual lifestyle between members of the same sex. It is more than simply a sexual act, it is going beyond the boundaries that God has setup for marriage; one man and one woman.Sexual relations between the same sex is condemned in both Old and New Testaments. It is forbidden directly four times in the Bible. * Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. * Leviticus 20:13 - If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. * 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, * Romans 1:26-27 - For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
Christians who protested against the Civil Unions Bill were protesting only against the bill, not against homosexuals.
Christians are bigots.
dig up horrors that have been committed in the name of science.
I'm sure he is a great dude, enjoys drinking beer, eating pizza and watching the game on the weekend like everyone else so why do his beliefs matter?

because he is anti science - sure he doesn't believe the world is flat but he promotes the modern equivalent - (his views on evolution and the big bang) - my main problem is someone posted an interesing link to a man who is trying to find out about the universe - since this threatens his world view - he posted an uneducated reply (uneducated as he doesn't know the knowledge that maths has given us)I agree that individual christians can be lovely people - but its the groups that cause the harm - moderate christians (or moderate followers of any religion) clear the way for the extremists that post the hate speech, try and stop stem cell research, stop woman having free access to abortion, stop homosexual relationships from being reconised and so onto christianity's credit, if the christians had followed the bibles teaching and just turned the other cheek, then this thread would have died right at the start
Let's take a look at this.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_TeresaMother Teresa (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997), was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work. For over forty years, she ministered to the needs of the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying of Calcutta
Mother Teresa was a conservative Catholic who supported the evil Pope's hard line on abortion, contraception, divorce, women priests, and generally had very bad ideas about women. A woman's highest virtue was to do her duty to the church and her husband – to be a “good” wife and mother and to serve the Catholic church.

mother teresa was a psychopath. she didnt heal the sick she stuck them in buildings were they werent allowed to be visited by their own families. She USED their suffering for her own personal gain.
But he isn't preaching it at schools or primary schools, so what is the real problem? This type of is minimal hardl ine religion in New Zealand, you have small groups like the Exclusive Brethren and Brian Tamaki's bunch but unlike America, thankfully we have a very good separation of Church and State with most New Zealander's being very liberal - just look at how long Labour has been in charge and accepting. As it stands church attendance is at record lows and still dropping.From reading Flea's posts and my own Christian friends who are moderate I don't think they clear the way for extremism. I'm positive that if a small vocal minority said all gays and non believers should be killed because it is in the gospel they would be quickly denounced by all the Major Churches and all the moderate Christians.
You don't get a Nobel Peace Prize for being a psychopath, Yes her views on abortion were frowned upon and considered one of the greatest problems in combating Poverty in Indian and I'm not surprised that you picked up on that.
It is his opinion and he is entitled too it, I, like you think it is not necessarily correct but that is life. I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. Just like creation versus evolution or anything that has been talked about it in this thread, what is the point of arguing on the internet? It's not going to change anything. Religion is a powerful thing and I found out the hard way to respect it. Making digs at religion cost me my last relationship with a lovely girl who I really cared about all because I was so filled with self righteousness of science and couldn't bring myself to respect her views when she really need me too. Thinking about it now makes me feel like a complete fool. Never again, unless religion is forced upon me I'm not going to actively seek out arguments or conflict - life is far too short. Live and let live I say.
