okay, so tonite i had a talk with my parents. supposedly my best friend has been coming to my parents and asking them if i'm gay. i am bi, and i was going to tell her until she started "sneakily" mocking me with my sister a few weeks ago. the only reason (that i can tell) that she's all of a sudden making fun of me (besides that she thinks i'm a *****) is that i've gotten really close to her brother and further from her. seriously, her brother is amazing. i don't know where i'd be without him. so yea.

the thing is, when she talks to my parents, and probably when/if she talks to me, she's really nice about everything and says everything's okay. then she goes and spreads it around, makes fun of it, and tells everyone i'm like f*cking her brother.

my parents both want me to tell her, and i understand because they think she'll be all nice about it. sure, we've been friends forever, but she won't be nice about it. but...she'll hate me if i don't tell her too. any suggestions? thank you.

Christ taught peace, love unity, & respect, & in a very charismatic way. but yet so many people of the Christian faith don't always act this way. so i wonder, in the examples set by it's followers, which religion (christian & non-christian) shows the most love, like Christ did?

I find some phonetic values of Greco Roman cartouches were determined from Latin, not Egyptian, so for instance [hill] collis /k/, [lion] leo /l/, [hand] trado /t/, [water] nauticus /n/. Notice in Coptic water is mo or moou corresponding to /m/, also the symbol matches Hebrew M closely and Hebrew "water" is mym, Arabic ma. Also there are many patterns in Ancient Hebrew which match Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. Only a few phonetic values have been gotten correct, not enough to decipher anything.
Has Egyptian really been deciphered. I posted a related question in 'History' asking about the origin of Hebrew, is it from Old Aramaic, Canaanite or Egyptian. For more information see yahoo group peripheralegyptology or historicallinguistics.

Why don't you want to get ready for any eventuality. People have believed in Heaven and Hell since the beginning of history. Religous knowledges are usually intuitive.

Regading religion, any religion, I don't think there are disrepectful questions. I think that followers of any religion just say "DO NOT QUESTION MY AUTHORITY!"
If followers of religion, any religion, say that their god or gods, are very powerfu, how come that a follower needs to defend their god, gods or their religion and threaten or harm the questioner? Isn't their god, gods above of so called 'disrespectful questions?'

Before I get attacked by the holy rollers, this is a quote from Stephen Hawking. He said that a universal law of everything (the holy grail of physics) would give us the ability to understand the entire universe and the ability to read the mind of God.

In one of the chapters of the bible I have read, someone (Noah?) had to talk GOD out of wiping out the human race and starting over, because he was angry with the way his creations acted?

Of course, all coming outs (comings out?) are somewhat traumatic, but it seems to me it would be a lot less so if you told your family members on an individual basis or when the issue came up, but not in front of everybody!

I swear a lot, and don't find it offensive, but I do try to limit my swearing in public, because it might offend other people. Lot's of kids my age and younger seem to cram as many swear words into a sentance as possbile, usually while shouting it at the tops of their voices. Do you think people/kids swear too much? Do you find it offensive?

This guy I know seemed to be playing games with me so when I ran into him at the bar one night, I did not approach him, I continued to flirt/talk with other guys, he later came to me and said"your killing me". what did he mean by that? And now, a month later, I have not heard from him, I sent him a text message once and no reply. Why is he doing this?
