I believe in God and his beautiful creation, but not in organized religion. I am also very spiritual. I believe everyone has the right to believe in whatever they choose, without someone trying to force theire belief on others.

You believe all is going to be in Heaven, so why try to change things, if thats so.
I am on these links because I want all to go to Heaven, but I believe you can only through Jesus. I want to let all I can know.
I love debating with you but I'm trying to convert you because I care.
Why do you debate?
You said: "As long as you love God and do right by others, then you're doing right by him."
So what if I am not good to others, what is my punishment?

As a moderator of the forum, I check all threads to ensure no one is causing crap in them (mainly looking for trolls, spammers and people using vulgar abusive language). If I happen to have a thought while I'm in them, I post it. You Christians are so damn me and MINE oriented. It's sicking. Mine, Mine, Mine, you can't have it, I won't share it, it's my thread, my topic..ugh...how do you stand yourselves?
I also believe in reincarnation. Souls go to the lower heavens in between lifetimes. They could be there for a couple hundred earth years. Maybe more, maybe less..then they have to leave to live another lifetime. As Soul learns and achieves what it needs to, it moves up the levels of heaven until at last, it can remain with God in His heaven. All souls will go to heaven. It's just a matter of which heaven. That's what I believe and that's why living right is important, that's why one should change things for the better.
I'm here to let people know Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
That is my thoughts and believes, sorry. I will continue to pray for you, even you don't want me to, thats my believe also. LOVE, Randy

The other thing that I'm not sure they even believe is one of my best friends is a Rector, who doesn't do doctrine. He gets through the "absolutely must" bit so fast he leaves you blinking... but his sermons make a lot of sense. I could get even you into a church to listen to him, if only because curiosity would fetch you:-)

"Colleen, why is it that if you don't believe in the Bible, Christianity or Jesus, you are always on the link that ask a Jesus question?"
Because she more than likely feels that the subject(s) discriminates upon her homosexuality. It is not entirely without merit but what I find rather curious is why she introduces her sexual denomination in discussions that have nothing to do with the subject matter.
The same goes for you, Randy. You often sprinkle your religious beliefs on subjects that are quite removed from any spiritual explanations.
Can we not discuss things rationally without agenda pushing?

I'm heterosexual and agnostic. It is part of who I am. I don't,however, bring it up at regularly scheduled intervals because I fear that it MAY make YOU uncomfortable. I wouldn't want that.
"If I mention it, it pertains to a point I'm making."
Not all the time.
"What agenda am I pushing other than my civil rights that you enjoy but I do not? "
Your gay marriage position that can rightly be defended when answering questions pertaining to marriage. This question makes no mention of the word yet you again bring up your agenda.
"Not all the time."
Please point it out to me next time so I can apologize for offending your senses.
I believe gay marriage should be legal. I'll say that anywhere and everywhere. It's a civil right I'm being denied by close minded bigots. It's both religious and political. It belongs everywhere. There. I did it again. No one will shut me up about it.
Hide? Are you kidding me? It's "in" to be gay these days.You can't possibly deny that. Nobody's hiding. Gays are, in fact, over represented in today's mass media, be it TV or cinema.The closets are bare (as they should be)Don't over-victimize yourself.
"Answers I've given: 2629. So if I've mentioned my sexuality even 50-100 times I'm still OK."
I'm not counting but I'd bet that you've mentioned it way more than 100 times...and that's not ok.
"Please point it out to me next time so I can apologize for offending your senses."
I'm pointing it out to you now and I don't get offended, just turned off.
"I'll say that anywhere and everywhere."
You just finished saying that you don't say it anywhere and everywhere. So you DO agree that you over do it.
"I'm not counting but I'd bet that you've mentioned it way more than 100 times...and that's not ok."
Not OK for you? Again, too bad.
Every time someone whines about the mentioning of homosexuality, I get louder, while others go into hiding for fear that the whiner will turn on them too. Be happy you at least shut them up. I have always been out spoken and I will not change for a stranger on the internet. If I've mentioned it a thousand times out of 2629 answers, I'm still OK. Just be honest, you're not OK with homosexuals. They make you uncomfortable. If they did not, the mentioning of homosexuality no matter how many times, would not bother you.
You attacked me in your answer to Randy. You attacked the fact I mention my sexuality too much. You did this. Now think about how many others like you I have to answer to frequently. Do you THINK that might be why I mention it so much? Please note when I mention it if I'm responding to someone like I've had to respond to your charge here. You're trying to pin me to only certain threads where I can talk about it. You might as well just tell me to go back into my closet. Not happening. I've never been in the closet and never will be.
None of this has anything to do with gay marriage laws.Homophobia maybe, but not gay marriage.People that "hate" gays will do so whether they're married or not.
"Not OK for you? Again, too bad."
Thanks, Colleen
I will not hide who I am, not for anyone.
"You just finished saying that you don't say it anywhere and everywhere. So you DO agree that you over do it."
Nice try but the spin doesn't work. I was saying no one will dictate where and when I can mention my sexuality.
"Not OK for you? Again, too bad."
Thanks, Colleen
Would you like to tell me what my limit is on how many times I can mention my sexuality since I offended you yet again by not accepting your decree that it's NOT OK with you that I mention it where you don't want me to mention it? Will you be making all my other life decisions too? I'd just like to know up front since I have to clear one thing with you if I should clear everything else with you also.
I never said "every thread". That would be a false claim. Read again if you choose.
BTW, you wouldn't know why my latest comment to Randy magically disappeared from this thread,would you?

Where are the false words? I need to learn. Please give them to me so I do not have to wait until they find me.
I am aware of the Apocrypha. I will concede to that history.
Simply stated, yup! Religious vs. Spiritual, is the same horse of a different colour.

Colleen, the "nutjob" reference was not about a religion or someone attached to a specific religion, it was a reference to you calling someone on this site a nutjob. Something that I find appauling and wouldn't expect from a moderator. Crass remarks are extremely vulgar and hurtful and you should be held accountable.

Nutjob as in wingnut as in nuts and bolts, nuts, screwy, nutty, nuthead, nutjob....NOT the other.....ewwwww! Why would a lesbian even think of that?? Gross.
Now I see how your mind works witchway. Hmmm.
To Colleen, Not "all" religions control thought and disallow deviation from their agenda. You shouldn't be that presumptuous to think so. And can you apprise me how a moderator can ask others to be respectful whilst calling someone a "nutjob"?

Give me a religion, an organized religion that does not say, believe what I teach or else.
Everyone one presumes on occasion. It's a human thing.
Thanks.
Romans 2:14-16 (King James Version)
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
*yeah, you're gonna find some people that believe in and worship God, the Father, but not Jesus because they have not come to know Him in this day. But, a time is coming when we ALL will.

First of all believing in God has nothing to do with religion. Religion is man made. The Bible is the word of God, and contains the truth.
