    Using Profanity -- Please read

    I'm not sure if that's fair. To me, it has the feeling of a person attempting to force his or her own view of morality on someone who has a different view. I could take the position that those who are more conservative should learn to show more grace to those who aren't as conservative. :P...

    Using Profanity -- Please read

    I think we need to be a little more careful when we say that certain words are profanity. Often, what is flagged as profanity on US-based websites is profanity only in the US, and to a lesser extent, in Canada. The noted "ass", for example is not profanity anywhere else in the English-speaking...

    When do you put the Christmas tree up?

    We wait until Advent begins before we put up the tree, and if Advent begins early, we wait until at least 1 December. (I know that as a good Anglican, I shouldn't be putting it up until after the Fourth Sunday of Advent, but it's too pretty to wait that long. Also, it would be a logistical...

    Using Profanity -- Please read

    Ok ... but I guess it's still alright and not offensive for some to call gay people horrible things. Right? :P

    Beyond bad. Evil. Wicked.

    I have been questioning my faith lately

    As others have already stated here, the things which you are having questions about are viewed in many ways by different Christians. Like you, I would disagree with the conservative interpretations of the Bible regarding the issues that you mention. However, that doesn't mean that you (or I)...

    Why should I let you into my heaven, asks God. How do you reply?

    God, I don't even need to answer your question, because Your Son is my advocate.. However, I will be civil. Your Son died for me and has removed any barrier to my entering. Take this up with Him. See you later at the wedding banquet, future father-in-law. :P

    Mathew 3:11

    Ugh! If that is how you look at Holy Scripture, I'm done. It's craziness.

    Mathew 3:11

    I have never heard that phrase used regarding new employees. I don't know what strange work environments you've been involved in. Why would this passage of Holy Scripture be of concern to a new convert anyway? It is rather obscure. A lot of the recent posts on here really hurt my head. Just...

    Advent Wreath.

    It may vary from one Anglican parish to another, but the one I attended had both a white Christ candle in the wreath and and a nativity scene on Christmas Eve. I have yet to see what the Lutherans with whom I now worship do.

    Advent Wreath.

    In the Anglican Church, the candles represent Christian concepts as follows: Week 1: Hope (Violet) Week 2: Peace (Violet) Week 3: Joy (Rose) Week 4: Love (Violet) Christmas Eve: Christ Candle (White) The colour of each candle is the liturgical colour for the day. The church I attended would...

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Plenty of Protestants use the confessional. It is quite often used by some Anglicans and Lutherans. It is more unifying than some may think.

    The war of 1812

    Ermmm ... Sweden has a different person as its monarch and isn't part of the Commonwealth. Oh, never mind. I misread the previous post.

    The war of 1812

    The US was repulsed from Canada after attacking and trying to conquer it. That's a complete loss. And,and as I said before, the Battle of New Orleans wasn't part of the war at all.

    The war of 1812

    Technically, the Battle of New Orleans didn't even happen during the War of 1812. It occurred after the peace treaty had already been signed. It just took that long for the news of the treaty to reach North America. On another note, from the Canadian perspective, the US totally and utterly...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Don't Australians already govern Australians? Or don't you understand how a parliamentary democracy works?

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Each of the Commonwealth Realms is a monarchy in and of itself. What one chooses to do with its monarchy has no effect on the others. Even if the United Kingdom became a republic, each of the other Realms would remain monarchies with the current Queen as their monarch unless they independently...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Why would it be up to the UK? They have no control over Australia.
