... are vastly at odds with the brand of conservatism preached by religious fundamentalists today. Those who advocate one-size-fits-all concepts of religious worship, spirituality or morality may be following principles, but not ... "we want you to be the same as everyone else."

My little brother Jeffrey (#3, who I am closest with) just received his mission call for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to Sapporo, Japan . *runs around squealing* That is just so crazy and amazing. Both he and I are so surprised. Everyone else in the family is less surprised than we are. He's been studying Japanese for two semesters at BYU, but actually getting called to...
“He was his own skeptic, always ready to dismiss and deride his theories when he saw flaws in them,” Powers says. “One day he’d think it had been God talking to him. The next day, he’d say it was just acid flashbacks. The day after that, he’d decide it was psychosis, or some sort of secret Soviet telepathy experiment. But he kept coming back to the idea that it was God.” He pauses. “I’d put money...

Я где-то читала, что в роли вербовщиков выступают тонкие психологи с соответствующим образованием или прошедшие соответствующую подготовку.

And the reason he [John Stewart] is so upset is that he, like most liberals, think they have a monopoly on compassion and she [Palin] ...
...) (Hartley, 1998) This is not exactly a short film, but I’ll comment on it anyway. It is a 15 minute excerpts from a dress rehearsal of Hartley’s play called “Soon”, about a Christian religious group that is hoping for the end of the world and different characters keep getting new revelations, and this pulls the group in new directions. I loved Hartley’s take on religion in his film, “Book ...
... of owenership-- cuz gays who are offering only love are not being recgonized. Times have changed and I really think that although the changing of the word would have massive implications to some religious ideas, it would still overall be a better thing for future generations-- ie, less history of ownership, more love. Also, not gonna lie- I WANNA FUCKING PUNCH EVERY FUCKING HUMAN WHO THINKS ...
