Gay - Can't Stay

[sgallan]

The sick, poor, needy...rejects ****

Funny, that's what i often do on these boards and seem to catch all kinds of heck for it....

[Matt]

I was raised LDS and I have never ever felt that the church took away my "childlike joy with living."*

yes, but there's no way you could know either way, is there?

[Faerie]

I think I would be able to distinguish what "childlike joy" would be like...

and for the second time in 30 seconds:

[USNationalist]

<<For much of the same reasons you didn't want your children out in the "world", because it took away some of their innocense, so you sheltered them, I do not want to raise my child in a religion (especially the more conservative ones), because I think she may eventually lose that childlike joy with living.>>

- So then your okay with what we christians refer as the "world"? Being- drugs, fornication, under age drinking, and other things of those WORLDY natures. Being in the church doesnt cut you off from the joys of life- but it lets you keep from being fooled into thinking that certain things that are considerd "fun" are acceptable.

The church gives people a clear view and grasp on good and evil. The world mixes the two together and has a jumbled conception of both.

It is my belief, anyway, that there is far more "joy" to be found in Gods service then in slavery to the world.
