Thank you Red for clarifying that. Excellent post!

The reason it appears negative to me is because the way people use it
when in disagreement I guess, well based on my experience.

haha and the way it is pronounced feels MEAN

DOG-MA...YOU DOG I don't know maybe it's just me.

I like breasts. I have them :)

No one is entitled to answer this question.

No one can possible say who goes where for eternity.

Soul Tears you sound more MUSLIM or JEWISH than anything. Sorry I don't
want to categorize you

Dogma seems to be negative and offensive here. It used everytime a
person expresses their beliefs.

Massage how would you define dogma?

mm massage if you go back and see the other pages I beg to differ

soulstears than you are a BELIEVER of God

hi soul tears. Well say if someone was Christian or buddhist, if they
didn't shove it down your throat would you still consider it dogma?

Thank you for posting

Bye Art gurl :)

Why is the teaching of Jesus dogma? Is it because people feel that you
can't prove it?

SG I agree

"however i still say that AB's post to this thread leads to a conclusin
that he has a christian background that he has taken and applied to his
own theories, and therefore his 4 points cannot fit on to all forms of
non christians."

As a new member I don't want to jump to conclusions so I'll wait to see
what he has to say. I say there's a little denial I guess

sorry a little net slow haha!

Forgive me

anyone? You can have any faith or view to help

Oh this?

"ArtGurl,

Minoans don't count. The women walked around with their breasts exposed
all day. Men will agree to anything in that situation, becuase they
don't, or rather can't, think."

I guess it was light humor?

Where was the joke? I missed it O_o

Thedoctor you have a POWERFUL point indeed. I would say you are a
believer. You believe in God right? That's a believer of something
right?

Just because you don't choose an organized way doesn't mean anything. I
know plenty of Christians who step away from strict churches to worship
freely. What it boils down to is your love, devotion and most of all
faith.*

Unfortunately, some of the followers of many religions today set a
TERRIBLE example and may give a dirty representation of what they're
about.

Then on the otherhand that shouldn't make someone stereotype or believe
every single believer is like that.

Thank you everyone for posting :)

What do you consider "dogma?"

I see this as a common used word here so I'm curious.

What makes a particular religion or faith "dogma?"

Is it a lack of evidence or proof? Or is it those that may offend you?

Hi Invisible :)

I really love your point. That you said you believe in God but don't
refer to yourself as a non-believer. That makes sense to me!


Do ALL Christians do that or just a select few that you have
experienced?

Personally I don't have a category or specific title on my beliefs but I
like a variety of spiritual things.
