Mormonism teaches that god used to be just a man on another world and that he became a god (exaltation) and he came to this world with his godess wife. he was able to become a god because he followed the laws and ordinances of the god he served on another world. that god was exalted by his god who was exalted by his god ad infinitum as far back as you can look. truth does not contradict itself something cannot be true and false at the same time. This is basic logic. If something does contain a logical impossibility then it cannot be true. Mormon teach an infinite regression of causes, that is that each god was made by a previous god who was made by a previous god who was a man? as far back as you can look into time this exaltation has been in affect. problem this is logically impossible. Since it is logically impossible, this means mormonism is false. Oh its a mystery they say ah if the proclamation of the mystery violates the laws of logic. mormonism is proven false cannot be true.

A lot of times when I see a hateful comment about gays in this section, or when I hear one from other people, usually the term is "fudge packer", or someone will say "Butt f*ckers/ing are/is gross" or something to that effect. I'm a lesbian, and I don't have anal sex, and I don't plan on it. So why do some people associate being homosexual to ONLY anal sex? And not only that, seem to be overly concerned with having a problem with it? I guess this goes back to other questions about why some people don't have a problem with lesbians, but think gay men are perverted.
Thoughts?

I am just trying to understand the group that rely on tangible evidence like dirt, hair, blood to prove something. What about falling in love or loving someone you can't bottle it and study it or when someone hates someone with a passion can you bottle that? Ya we have physical reactions and you can see a person if they are in love or hate someone.. sometimes, cuz if they are fake then you can't see what is truly in their heart that they may be fakin the funk or totally two faced (sure we've all experienced that). Only in their actions do you see the results, but before, til you didn't see it happen, you didn't know. So how can you bash or rationalize something you didn't know or havn't experienced? Doesn't make sense.....

for family to kill daughters who fall in love with the "wrong" man?This is a relatively rare issue in the Muslim community in this country but much more common in many Islamic countries. How can this be justified? Surely the Qu'ran doesn't support this. So why does it happen as in the recent case on the news tonight where the murdered girl's brother has been jailed for a VERY long time?

I have a bunch of books.. and can't even read the intro because i have to first find a bunch of kanji compounds in the dictionary. it makes me wanna give up cause i have like 10 books but i won't give up. My books are interesting about Politics, society etc. and i can understand them if i know the Kanji.. but there's so many kanji compounds i don't understand....is it just inevitable for non natives to have to do a bunch of research prior to reading only one page of a book? or should i learn all kanji compounds i can possibly learn prior to reading any books, so that when i start reading i will not be stuck. i have 4 years of study but haven't studied in a long time and didn't ever learn much kanji.

I've observed a significant number of "questions" that are either:

(1) Obvious the "asker" has already decided the answer and is trying to influence others.

(2) Non-questions being used as a podium for speaking.

My impression of Yahoo! Answers was intending to serve as a means by which people with sincere questions could seek assistance and/or advice ... and, over time, would grow into a large store of information people could search through quickly.

There are numerous other places people can argue or preach or pen their thoughts ... and much more appropriate than here ... why are so many determined to use this forum to do so?

I am mixed with B and W and I have noticed a lot of differences between a mostly white community and now living in a mostly Black community. I am not an all out nerd, but I am intelligent, and when it comes to college, I take it seriously. I do my work, and try my best to do it well. Come on! I want A's! In the white community, people commended this. But now in a Black community the people seem to shun me like a nerd or something. When they look at my work, they make a comment like "Whateva", and give little snide looks to eachother like I've done something stupid and nerdy. I'm not a nerd, but a lady trying to make something of my life for me and my family.

If i am a Christian and I change my religion to Islam that is ok, but if I am a Muslim and I want to become a Christian the punishment is the death. That is a stupid religion which try not to let the man to choose God but to force the people to stay into a limited system

Empathy is the only thing that separates us from the animals (Apes and Chimps make tools). Yet so many Chistrians don't seem to have it. Does that make them animals?

And don't quote Revelation 22:18-19. The Jews could argue the same thing about the New Testament since it says the same thing in Deuteronomy.

The Book of Revelation was almost not even approved to be included in the Bible. Many Catholic bishops opposed its inclusion. Martin Luther, the originator of the Protestants, believed the Book of Revelation was neither apostolic nor prophetic. The first Protestant didn't even believe the Book of Revelation.

Since it was not the last book written does that make later books heretical?

"Let's call a sin a sin!
It is unnatural - just look at how the female and male bodies are made and that should be evidence.
We have become a harmfully permissive society, and people are being hurt by living in harmful ways under the banner of tolernace. There is indeed right and wrong, beyond what our society has grown to accept.
There are things that are wrong - just as you said, like pedophilia. But other wrongs such as homsexuality, abortion, living together without being married have slowly grown into American society because we have become desensitized over time into thinking it is ok.
There is"nothing new under the sun", it happened in Ancient Greece and Rome - and is man's rebellion against God.
No, the behavior is not healthy. It is harmful and opposed to how we are created.
We love the sinner and hate the sin, everyone deserves unconditional love."
