Right and wrong is not subjective. Right and wrong are absolutes. There is no deviation from this fact. To avoid it is cowardice.

I can cherry pick the bad out of anything. I’m serious about this. There is nothing on Earth that is above being able to pick nuance from that is offensive. That you mention some of the more disagreeable parts of the Bible, without referencing the overwhelming volume of good in it, speaks only that you’ve not read any of it.

Love is subjective, but you know what else is too? Right and wrong. The bible is a perfect example of how morality has changed over the two millenia since its stories occurred. I dont need to tell you about the divinely sanctioned torture, rape and murder of the old testament, or the misogyny of the new testament. Its all in there as god’s word. We all like to believe that Thomas Jefferson was a man of morals and high principle, but he owned numerous slaves. Owning slaves back then obviously wasnt looked upon as cruel and evil like it is now. They even believed they were providing a better life for the slaves than if they had remained godless savages back in Africa. So when you say “the bible is right” Im sure you dont think that a rapist can get off the hook as long as he pays his victims father 50 shekels of silver and marries her. Or that women should remain sient and not teach or usurp authority over a man. Or hopefully that homosexuals and non believers are to be damned to an eternity of anguish and torment burning in hell. To me those are Immoral ideas and if they are divine, are from anything but a “benevolent” diet.

I mostly agree with you, minus one important point. An understanding of what love is is extremely subjective, and fraught with opportunity to misinterpret for our own personal gain. God, who I think you believe in as well, is a loving benevolent God.

His will be done.

His will however, is far beyond the grasp of our ability to understand. Because of this, I think stating that God is a loving god provides an opening to think our own wants are in tune with what God wants. I believe this is wrong. I believe there is a standard for how God wants people to live. I don’t have anything better than the Bible to base that understanding.This is a tricky situation for me. I believe the Bible is the basis of how to live. However, I’m fervently deny that any secular organization should enforce those rules upon anyone. In short: I believe the Bible is right. I don’t believe that governments should enforce it.

Dear guest,

This question has been asked so many times, I’m reconsidering how I’ve worded this post. I apologize if this has offended you in some way. That wasn’t my intent.

My point here, which you’ve provided an eloquent example of, is that belief requires faith. That is not to say a lack of belief in Jesus is synonymous with cowardice.
That is an argument, which I do not believe I’m qualified to make.

That’s Why You Da Man Cory! Good Work. I haven’t been drunk in at least 5 months. Thats not to say I haven’t had a drink from time to time. But It’s nice to clear out the cobwebs. I love your statement on Faith. There was a time, I’m sure that you remember, when I had the convictions as you do pertaining to Christ. It’s good to be steadfast in belief as you are, I applaud your actions and words. Keep up the good work. And FYI man, I could never do the Daniels either, I’m more of a Grey Goose Guy myself.

I believe in Something, too… The Something which will remain nameless and INDESCRIBABLE because I understand that as a human I do NOT understand. I have no illusions about religion…I do not think the Something is approached any more correctly by committee, or with an instruction manual…or that the Something only reached out to humankind ONE time, in ONE form. What I DO believe is that the Something is a benevolent, loving force and wishes me growth and good. I have seen this over and over again. I also believe that each person has an absolute right to approach the Something in whatever way works best for them, and it harm none…and that NO ONE has the right to force a particular method of approach based on their personally held beliefs.

NO NO NO. NO!

How much courage do you think it requires for someone born in a religious family to stand up and say, “I do not believe”? This is the story of many, including mine. Jesus walked among those who disbelieved him as the Son of God. It took tremendous amount of courage for him to do that, and the courage of an everyday person to stand up for his own beliefs, even if they violate your own, isn’t any less than that.

I agree great ideas. I think more communication helps, as long as it is open and honest and shared. It seems strange to use communication and sharing in the same sentence, but sometimes we communicate through other ways that are not shared, or perceived as what was intended.

check if you use Openx! The older version was buggy, so a server could be hacked by a security gap in this software. By this a lot of files in other directories were infected.

Having a child completes a family. When my first child was
born, I really felt the completeness of my life. I do consider my angel as my
precious treasure that no one could ever replace.

Marisela,

I don’t doubt that women are put in a number of difficult situations. I think the feminist movement, while noble in cause, has had some unintended consequences. Women are quite free to be just as unhappy as men have become.
I’d argue there’s been a mascularization of women, and a feminization of men that’s occurred over the last 100 years. Niether role is a natural fit for the other. The result is being pushed into things that don’t feel intuitive.

Many would argue differently however. Some women excel at things typically championed by men. Some men are accomplished in traditionally feminine tasks. Therefore there are those that would argue there are no natural gender roles.

I don’t believe that’s true.

I’m the father of twins. I have a daughter and a son. They have had almost zero social gender assignment. They share a room together, and they share a mix of girl/boy toys. My son, without preemption typically (not always) leans towards trucks, balls, and anything more physical. My daughter ALWAYS reads books, plays with babies, or colors.

It just seems clear to me: Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls.

So, asking a man to perform house-chores isn’t something that will come naturally to him. Asking him to find dinner, or fix the car is (typically) more up his alley. Conversely, if I were to ask my wife to shoot dinner, so that we might live, or ask her to defend me from an attacker, it would be unnatural for her.

Everyone who does something that feels unnatural, does it with insecurity (even if they do it relatively well). Because it doesn’t feel like something you’d be doing correctly, you’ll feel wrong about it. That constant feeling of wrong translates to a feeling of *BEING* wrong.

Add to this constant feeling of wrong, the other messages bombarding folks in industrialized cultures. Media outlets routinely parade beautiful and rich stars as normal people.

I don’t look like Brad Pitt or Ryan Reynolds. I also don’t do the laundry well. I’m not allowed to shoot dinner, and cars don’t really allow me to fix them. This is the essence of being male in 2011.

I totally understand what you’re saying. My husband withdraws this way, too. And then I become more frustrated. It’s a vicious cycle. If you are feeling inadequate, guess what…we women/mothers are too. For the record, I don’t berate because I *know* it gets me nowhere. My husband responds positively with words dripping with honey and sometimes in my frustration, the honey is in short supply. It goes both ways, though. I would be encouraged if my husband took the initiative and did his share without honey do lists and reminders and requests. Just do it.
