I have noticed that lately on tv they allow cussing and back in my day it was not allowed. My biggest concern is what is being SHOWN on tv. The girls are practically naked on there and dancing like they are having sex. I'm a newly wed, and I don't want my husband seeing those girls, but they are everywhere: commercials, music videos, etc. Who knows how bad it will be when I have a son.

My boyfriend and I were simply sleeping on top of the covers (all of them) of his bed and his parents got pretty upset. I understand why they did - mine would be upset too - however, it is common knowledge among both our families that I'm a virgin and intend to stay that way until marriage and he's a responsible guy that wouldn't pressure me into doing anything. So, aside from the parental fear of sex, what's wrong with it? I'm by no means bashing parenting; I just want to get some perspective so I can feel out situations better next time.

No out of context crap. THIS is what it says.

It is ok to kill:
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***." (Samuel 15:2-3).

It is not ok to kill:
"Thou shalt not kill." (Deuteronomy 5:17)

Saying that one is correct and the other isn't means that the Bible is not 100% true like the fundamentalists say it is.

The Bible is mostly oral tradition that was told to someone who told it to someone else etc. who finally wrote it down, so it can't be literally true. So how can you know what god is like and what he/she wants us to do?

If the earth was created by god when he says how did so many people spread out from the Middle East so fast? How could they have crossed the ocean before the technology was available to do so. When we first were able to cross over to what we call the America's there were already established countries there with there own set of values and beliefs. I know the Bearing Strait would have been an option but don't you think it would have been difficult way back then to make the journey to it? Also, wouldn't the people who crossed already know about christianity and would have believed in it? When the christians discovered and recorded it they knew nothing of one god and worshiped omens and multiple gods. And one final point, why would we all look different? We have a long enough recorded history to know that if people from these different regions were going to change in only a few thousand years from how we originally looked, we would have noticed more changes by now. Thanks for the answers.

Everytime I date a girl, they either end up cheating on me or dumping me. Throughout the whole relationship i listen to them and respect them and talk everything over. They tell me I really am a good girlfriend, but i keep thinking its my fault. I can never find the right girl, and now I'm starting to hope that one will find me on here! Is that bad, and whats wrong with me?!

It seems rather simple to me. If teenagers arn't tought about sex and contraceptives by someone, parents or teachers, they will make stupid, uninformed decisions about sex. Teenagers are going to have sex, you can't just tell them "It's bad, don't do it." That's probably the best way to get them TO do it. They'll have unprotected sex, get pregnant, and will be too scared to tell their parents, and so will get an abortion. Without sex education and birth control, you'll always have people having abortions. The people who don't want their children taught about sex but who still think that abortions are evil and wrong seem to be shooting themselves in the foot.

First of all I must stress that Israel and Judaism are not synonomous!! You can be critical of Israel without being critical of Judaism or Jewish people...

But I find it very hurtful that people should accuse me of that just because I think Israel is WRONG to attack Lebanon...

I have always tried to support Israel and not condemn it because I know the situartion in the Middle East is very complex and not one sided...I have always supported Israels' right to exist and have been against all boycots....
I even argue in favour of Israel many times..and that is hard because I am a Muslim..but I try to see all sides...

But why when I point out the stupidity and unfairness of plunging Lebanon into war again I get accused of being a terrorist and an anti -semite??? when I am not.....?

The Bible states that people should not gossip. "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD." (Leviticus 19:16)

We are both in our 30's. And I have never had sex with anyone. He was the first guy I fooled around with. When he was touching me down there it hurt. So he asked me if I had herpes. Then I was very offended for him asking such a question. He said it could be conjenital. But my parents were virgins before they got married. I am East Indian and my fiance is White. In my culture it is inapproperate for unmarried people to have sexual intercourse or even fool around. So I was hurt when he asked me that. He mentioned to me one time that when he was in high school his girl friends sister had herpes and she was a virgin. And that's why he asked me if I had herpes. He appologized for being insensitive and we got enaged a month later. He is a great guy in every way. He is loving, he is very encouraging, affectionate, a great cook etc, etc. But him asking me this question really hurt my feelings. So am I over reacting? Is it a normal question a guy should ask?
