Is it right to criticize and poke fun at a religion that has helped our community?
Posted on November 3, 2010 at 2:33am 19 Comments 0 Likes
I have only just joined this online community a few days ago and so far I love it! But my question is. Is it right to be so critical about a religion such as Christianity that has churches all across the world that support their local communities?
If God is Perfect How Can He Be Jealous?
