Children of murdered Charleston minister have "already forgiven" their Mother's killer.

by nicolaou in

i'm not judging these poor young people, if this is how they are coping with the trauma of losing their mum i can only wish them well.

i have to admit though that my jaw dropped when i first saw this interview, i couldn't square their reaction with what i understand as 'normal' human grief.. is this religiously motivated form of forgiveness a positive thing?

should i acknowledge this as something to be said in favour of religion?.

Their forgiveness s a way of coping. Of course its a good thing. Nobody can sit in judgement of their reaction, they are the ones that just had a loved one gunned down.

After twenty years of marriage…

by John Aquila in

i just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..

i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.

heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.

Christians not knowing the Bible

by Viviane in

last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

This. Was. Fantastic.

I suppose the question is wether you believe the bible to be "authentic". In other words, do you believe the 66 books that make up the typical cannon are "inspired of God.." and all that. If so and you believe the instances in the bible many here have issue with to be true, than at the very least God has some explaining to do right?

If not, then its an account of an ancient people not meant to be taken as...errr....gospel.

Also.........................boobs.

That is all.

No way is that accurate. Plus think of him as the Donald Trump of the group. Its good to have him involved because it gives everyone a show, and makes it funny.
