The reality is that we are a tiny life form living one of 9 rocks that rotate around a star that is part of a galaxy of hundreds of millions of stars which is part of a patchwork of hundreds of millions of galaxies if not more.

In the big picture we really are not all that inportant.

That is not to say we can't live positive and meaningful lives and have a positive effect on those around us.

But in the big scheme of things we are insignificant.

Isn't it arrogant to believe that we are so important some deity actually gives a toss about us ?

I live in texas. I am asian american , meaning I have lived here all my life. I noticed there are more angry people where I live. They try to give me mean stares, so instead of glaring at them back, I say hello and smile. Almost everytime I say hello and smile to someone that glares at me, they either ignore me, or get even angrier, or continue glaring at me. Why can't people at least say "hi" it's only one word. It just bugs me that people are so rude here. Any ideas?

a friend of mine is coming over to visit in a couple weeks. She's 19, her boyfriend is also 19. The rules of the room are that people sleep in seperate beds. But she's practically throwing a tantrum about the fact that her boyfriend and she won't be able to sleep in the same bed. It's completly up to me if they're allowed to sleep in the same bed, but to be honest it makes me uncomfortable. I'm in a relationship with someone, but they're not going to be spending the night while they're here. It's more of a comfort level then anything. And before you get all "it's their choose, they're adults", this is a guy who got her pregent and because she wasn't an adult by legal standings when that happened, her parents had her abort the fetus. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to them *******. Sleeping together is one thing, but these two hardly ever do just that.

If a person is born deaf, mute and blind, does he/she believe in GOD! (Not even clergy have given me a acceptable reason for their opinions)

I have met many and they usually are not very well educated. Is ignorance conducive to religious belief?

If a man or woman is truely gay, and I have to emphasize truely, how is it that gay men in particular are able to be aroused enough to have had years of marriage and sex with a woman? The typical answer will be that early on this society frowned on gay expression and persons were forced into seemingly "straight" lives in the guise of mariage. That still doesnt work. The claim by gay folks is that they are as equally attracted to the same sex as hetrosexuals are to the opposite sex. So whether or not you were trying to "hide" your orientation I dont understand how a Truely gay man is able to get sexual with a woman. I say that because 90% of straight males are completely repulsed by being with a man(of course theirs a 10 to 15% who experiment or are confused). Because of the claim of equality of attraction I would think a gay man or woman would be repulsed by the thought of sex with the opposite sex, just like 90% of hetrosexuals are turned off by sex with the same sex. Any thoughts?

I am so tired of dealing with everyone else's emotional baggage. I try to be consistent with everyone I deal with, although I'm not perfect. What gives people the right to talk to you and be really nice one minute and then the next they don't even acknowledge that you exist? I've had it!

I read a question that used the term :"******" I detest that term, but had to use it in my answer. Yahoo put ****** in the place of the word. Why would they allow the word to be used in a question and not allow it in an answer? In preview they edited it again.It is 6 letter word referring to black peple and starts with the letter"N"

Not everybody can understand the KJV.There are many interpretaions which simplify the things that are being said. I believe you should have several versions so you can really explore whats being said.I think you can get to know God better and I think anybody that tells you to only go by King James may be trying to keep you from checking out what THEY preach.Could it be some of them don't want you to realize the truth?Maybe they're trying to brainwash.

the question: from Peris - Peru

I am a Christian and have always wondered about the story of Jesus. My Mum says he died on the cross and then came back to live, which is very confusing. Islam says he never died but was raised up to heaven.

My question is: Did he die or not? the answer to his question
