Christians say that God loves us all and wants us all to go to heaven, and in order to do that, we must believe that Jesus died for our sins and ask for forgiveness. But if this is so, why did he make us all so different?

By doing so, could he really expect us to believe the same thing?

The story of Jephthah's daughter is recorded in the eleventh chapter of Judges, beginning with verse 29:

Then the spirit of Yahweh came upon Jephthah and he passed through Gilead and Manaseh… Jephthah made this vow to Yahweh: 'If thou will deliver the Amonites into my hands, then the first creature that comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return from them in peace shall be given to Yahweh; I will offer that as a whole-offering.' So Jephthah crossed over to attack the Ammonites, and Yahweh delivered them into his hands… But when Jephthah came to his house in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him with tambourines and dances but his daughter, and she his only child… When he saw her he rented his clothes and said, 'Alas, my daughter, you have broken my heart… I have made a vow to Yahweh and I cannot go back.' She replied, 'Father, you have made a vow to Yahweh; do to me what you have solemnly vowed, since Yahweh has avenged you on the Ammonites, your enemies. But, father, grant me this one favor. For two months let me be, that I may roam the hills with my companions and mourn that I must die a virgin.' … At the end of two months she came back to her father, and he fulfilled the vow he had made; she died a virgin. [New English Bible, modified]

I'm Bisexual and I've been with more girls than guys. SO I'm thinking about becoming a Lesbian. But I don't know how to ask a girl out or even become there friend. What do I talk to that person about? Or how do I know what to do when I want to talk to a Girl.

Girls always come to me. Their the ones that make the first move. So now it's my turn to do it. What do I say to a Girl or to become their friend or whatever?

You are in one room. They are in another. You have no way to communicate with them. You both have a box with a button. You have one hour to choose. The first one to push the button leads to the peaceful death of the other. If neither of you pushes the button you both die. What do you do?

Tell us in your own words how you really feel about Christians who accept you as a person, but detest what you do in your own bedrooms behind closed doors?

Does that still make you feel like you're being judged?

Please include your location in your answer to put it into context.

Do you have plans, or have you thought about making plans, for what to do in the event of a nuclear war, or at least a nuclear bomb going off? Do you have a shelter or do you know where you will use as a shelter? Have you discussed it with your family? Is there a specific plan in your community if you live in a high risk area?

I know the cold war is over and it's all far fetched, but I have often thought about what I would do and where I would go (besides probably dying), and I'm just wondering if any one else has considered their plans.
