Religion is a choice, therefore if you continue to go and support and claim it Lionessa Jan 2012 #4

Who says everyone should be "slammed" because they support a particular religion? whathehell Jan 2012 #13

For me, yes, I get to make that judgement. Feel free to make a different one for yourself. Lionessa Jan 2012 #17

Then you also get to identify it as your personal judgement, rather than stating it as fact, whathehell Jan 2012 #21

All of our opiniions are personal judgements .... oldhippie Jan 2012 #28

Did you then intentionally miss the capital JMO, just my opinion, so you could get righteous? Gee, Lionessa Jan 2012 #36

Can you worship a God without.... surfdog Jan 2012 #22

I don't think you can still be a Catholic if you deny that your god created msanthrope Jan 2012 #34

First of all, could you bag the "your god" stuff? whathehell Jan 2012 #48

Are you denying that you think that your god started life on this planet? msanthrope Jan 2012 #53

Catholicism doesn't deny evolution and preach "creationism" either. whathehell Jan 2012 #7
