Assuming that these aliens were able to communicate easily with us, understand human concepts, etc., how long would it take before you started telling them that your religion was what they needed? What if they had their own religious beliefs? Lets say that their religious beliefs contradicted your own. Would you tell them that they were completely wrong and your religion was completely correct?

As many of you already know, the workd is in a steady decline. Our social standards are deteriorating, the economy has slowed and more than ever people are living impoverished. What can we do as individuals to thwart this trend?

Does anyone ever feel that any str8 people who know you're gay are two faced? They speak normally to your face yet when they are with their own they start talking cr@p about you and your lifestyle.

He just says 'Get something big' and laughs at this private joke he has with himself. What could that mean?

False friends: pairs of words in two languages that look or sound similar, but differ in meaning

Why is it that if a group of black people are talking, they are using the word ***-ga or even ***-ger to refer to each other, but when someone who is not black uses it in the same context that they were using it, they get mad and offended? If it's offensive then don't use it right?

One question and a comment...

Have you ever convinced someone to change their mind through debating?

I like to consider myself an open-minded person and I like to have my beliefs tested. I find debating people gives me a reason to look into exactly why I believe what I believe. So then, if you're of like mind send me a message and perhaps we could debate.

Here's a list of some of my beliefs so you know where I'm comming from. I believe...
-in (the Christian) God
-we are saved at baptism (not prayer)
-macro-evolution does not explain the world we live in
-God does not typically answer the prayer of unsaved people
-Those who have not heard the Gospel will not likely enter heaven

Some of these things I'm not terribly dogmatic about. I just hold them as positions because they best fit the evidence I've seen so far. So feel free to contact me. Thanks!

It seems like most christians dont understand atheists and most atheists dont understand religions. so i want everyone to explain as briefly but accurately as possible a different belief from their own.

av recently been told that there don't seem to be many women of this description who do find a decent girlfriend, and am talking about myself here. stigma and lack of understanding seem to have stymied me and other schizophrenic lesbians i know, and my heart problem makes me anxious not to travel, and very tired. how many lesbians like this do you know have formed healthy relationships with a significant other? av tried every avenue, and nothing works, lol. i suppose the logical answer would be for us schizophrenic lesbians to pair off, only there is the issue of compatibility. come on people, give us some hope, or at least help me fight the stigmas/stigmata.

Since human beings are very often completely wrong about things. (The world is flat, the planets and stars move around the earth, etc.) How can they be trusted to explain exactly what an all powerful deity who created and knows everything is all about?

Try taking an independent step here for a second and imagine you are from another planet and this is the first time that you have ever heard about god.

Someone comes up to you and tells you: 'There is a creature that created everything, even you, and it is all in this book that was written centuries ago.'

While, this idea might seem intriguing, what proof do they offer other than this book? How does one book flat out prove the existence of this god? Do they have anything to back up this claim other than the book and other people who already believe in this book?
