Some more astonishing DU questions..
Why Don't Most Congregations Applaud Their Church Choir?
Did Jesus Accept Himself as His Personal Lord & Savior? Believe on Himself?
Why has Christianity has given rise to people like Stalin, Hitler?
I would NEVER subject anybody to eternal damnation. So wouldn't that make me morally superior than God?
The Flood: What did God know and when did he know it?
Did Jesus experience a "survivor's guilt" when hundreds of male children were slaughtered because He was born?
Isn't the doctrine of original sin is simply the theological way of saying, "Nobody's perfect."
Atheists: Do You "Pray"?
Is the verse "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Psalm 137:9 KJV a special blessing from the Bible for Abortion Doctors?
Why would Jesus, a male, be chosen as the messiah? 70% of humans are female. If God wanted a human rep., wouldn't he pick the side that had the most representation?
Jesus is most powerful when we remove the nails that pin him up on a stained glass window, and place him into a fully human context
That's it in a nutshell. A lot of the more bizarre theological speculations come from UU congregations or DUmmies in their 40s-50s who are coming to the slow realization that life isn't limitless as they thought it was their 20s. With mortality stalking them in a smaller and smaller neighborhood of their lives, they hunger for God's grace yet obstinantly refuse to let go of the autonomy they believe never failed them in the past.
