I didn't really know where to put this so I guess this is as good a place as any. If not, please feel free to move it. A lot of people argue back and forth about whether or not America is a Christian nation. Just because Christians live here doesn't mean that it was started as a Christian nation. On the oth...

A sixth person that is not in chaos tells them pray, seek God and the answers will come. This sixth person is sure of the answer and sure that if the five people pra...

Thoughts on Organized Religion
(Preview)
The other day I met one of Alan's clients from Unity Church, and she made the comment that she wasn't an actual member of that church. She said she's just not an "organized religion person". She said to me, "You know as well as I do that organized religion is just another business&quo...

Sacrifices: straight / trans / gay

She was a stunning beauty and the ideal of femininity. She was what I could not be. Her face was such a beautiful sight behind her light blue chiffon veil. The bones of her corset were baredly visible through the bodice of her floor length dress. She carried herself with such graceful steps as she cro...

How Old Were You When You Knew?
(Preview)
Several years ago, not long after Alan came out, he introduced me to GayChristian.net. At that time, I was still struggling with the whole "choice" thing. I started a thread there that was tremendously helpful to me, so I thought I would start it here as well. I think the title pretty much...

Public Shootings

I have just read the story about the shooting incident at Rev. Haggard's old church. With all this happening so soon after the shootings in that Kansas mall, do you think that the media is partly to blame for this stuff? I mean, the shooter said in his suicide note that he knew that there would be a lot of pu...

Do you struggle with your faith?
(Preview)
I've been going through a rough time lately in my faith, and haven't shared a whole lot about it here. But I realized today that others might be feeling the same thing, and this would be a good place to discuss it. So, have you ever doubted God's love for you? Or God's existence?

Respecting Other Religions
(Preview)
The bible says there are false religions. Too bad the bible doesn't list them by name. Which brings me to a few questions; can one really, truly respect what one disagrees with? And in respecting another person's right to believe a different religion, am I not just giving false respect to a re...

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Have any of you heard of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and his teachings? I heard a little bit of him the other day on PBS and I'm very intrigued. But he sounds New Age. Do you know anything about him, and would you recommend his books?

What do you guys think about all of this stuff about him? 
Is he gay or bi? Do you think that it was right for him to be "outted"?
Is he the Republican's Jim McGreevey? Do you think that he'll be "cured"?
