It seems like everyone on here thinks right and wrong is an indivual thing. There are set right and wrongs that apply to everyone. If I mention marriage instead of shacking up , everyone says that living together works for some people instead of marriage and that I should respect other peoples morals. Well in some countries it is alright according to their moral code to mistreat wifes and women in general. In some countries it is acceptable and in their moral code to execute people who have done nothing really bad but because they have violated the country's moral code. We as Americans think it is terrible when people are treated so cruely and unfairly but I guess we must remember that in the middle east when a woman is raped, it is her faut according to the moral code of that country. What is wrong with following the basic morals set forth by God? It may be in someone's moral views to kill or harm someone of a different race, so much for making up your own right andwrong

Thanks to everybody who answered my question about japanese manners. Now I only have one student instead of 2 and I have another problem. He told us he was a smoker so we told him that he could only smoke outside, not inside and that he had to properly dispose his cigarettes. This weekend when I was cleaning out his room I found several water bottles full of used cigarettes and his bathroom had a strong cigarette smell. Plus the bathroom door was always locked. (He didn't know I had and extra key) After my dad confronted him he denied smoking in the house. Plus we've been wanting to turn on the AC this week but he says that he doesn't need it. It's burning here in SoCal. Is he smoking the bathroom?

This philosophical question is about how you came to believe what you believe. Did it come from an earnest search with a practical methodology, or we're you unduly influenced and not careful to test out claims that were made as well as intently researching alternatives?

I've never gotten caught, so I'm just wondering what happens if you do get caught. Is it very likely to happen? I mean, I imagine cops have a lot of better things to do than dash around trying to catch people lighting off fireworks...

Obviously, most questions in the religion & Spirituality category are flamebaited. I don't like flamebaiting, but I can see it works. Why are some of these responses so emotional when the question is obviously baited for an entertainment value?

Wouldn't they just be a drain on potentialy scarce resources? Wouldn't it be more advantageous for us to evolve to enjoy euthanizing or even cannibalizing them?

I live around mostly hispanics and am often snared at by the women. Do hispanic women have some hate for women with blond hair and blue eyes or something? I haven't done anything to any of them so what is their problem?

There are many verses in Quran that assure Muslims that god will definitely answer whatever they ask in their prayers. Some of those verses are [2:186, 40:60] and many others.

If this is the case, why did not god answer all the prayers from all muslims all over the years? No offense, but anyone can realize that Muslim countries are among the least developed countries although many of them are among the richest countries in the world.

Why muslims are still less developed, why they have the highest disease ratios and the least literacy ratios? Why does not god simply answer their prayers and make them the most powerful countries all over the world?

[please note that in all those verses, god gave UNCONDITIONAL promise to answer anyone who ask him]

He is my cousin and I love him like a brother, He is immature and almost impossible to reason with. Everything in life to him is a joke. He lives in his own fiction bubble. He was not raised with a very good family as I was. His parrents are divided on the issue of God. So He has disided to try and create his own truth to life, He is constantly expossed to peer pressure, they have a bad influence on hm. I know that he is not saved, I only know that it hurts to see my only friend slowly slip away. I've tryed to tell him about Jesus, all that I can do know is pray for him. I'm asking is their anyone that can pray for him, or that could give me some tips to try and reach him? It's hard to deal with the fact of his future eternal destination, forever without God. We are good friends and we live so far apart, I wish that I could have been a better influence in his life. Would anyone please pray for him?

If they were then doesn't that mean that their children must have had sex, and their children after them and so on and so on? Or did God create others afterwards making sure that there could be no incest? Isn't incest a sin?
Or is the story of Adam and Eve a metaphor and if so then for what?
Please, when you reference the Bible, do it in your own words
thanks
peace

When I moved to North Carolina, I felt like I was being 'ma'amed' to death! Everyone uses it and uses it when addressing any woman.
