First to name the language gets 10 points:

Some may think it is the language of two countries, but it is not.
In fact, we do not even call it by its real name. Its alphabet is not based on Latin,Greek, or Cyrillic, nor does it use any Chinese characters. It is the only written member of its linguistic family.
Here is a romanized word from the language: "pilosopia".

i think its because jewish men are not real israelites in the covernant of noah it says that "for in the image of god has god made man" this means that man is perfect of one look, and if you look around only the yellow man is of such perfection, all non yellows share the beastial imperfection of bug eyes. the reason why jewish women are allowed the gene to be passed to their daughters is because women are created from ribs and therefore not men, and thru marriage to the yellow man which is basically property loophole can they go to heaven.

I am married, and have met a man with whom I feel instantly connected with spiritually. He and I get along very well and can talk about anything. He knows I am married and even knows my husband. I am not sure if I should bring this idea up to him or not.

Why did this information not reach all the people in Africa, islanders, south america and other cultures where women walk around topless without any shame and all the tribes people wear nothing but a sling shot?
Isn't it true that we are actually taught shame for our bodies?--
I mean, that is obvious, if cloths are not necessary, they are not used, when cloths ARE necessary-- to prevent exposure to cold, they are used. When did the western civilizations lose sight of this,? they must have been wearing cloths for a long time for them to think God ordered it directly that they do so.

Would you rather live in a different time (Like the 1800's, 1940's, ancient times, etc.) than now? Or do you like it better now than you think you would then? I like the way people dressed in the time around the world wars better than now. They looked alot better, now almost everyone dresses more like a slob.

I'd be supportive if I had a child who came out to me as gay. I don't believe homosexuality is wrong, but obveously, there are many close minded people who do.

So what would you do?

God was entertaining three well respected men of the field of scientific research in relation to life. These men came highly recommended and were lauded with praise from many various and prestigious universities and societies. Intrigued by their seemingly endless knowledge of life and their claims that certain processes of bringing forth living beings was within the grasp of these men, God decided to permit a demonstration to wit.
Tirelessly the scientists set off on a mission paramount to the creation of man. Running to and fro collecting the material ingredients needed to produce their masterpiece.
“Eureka!” Exclaimed the scientists, “we have it now.”
“What do you have now?” Asked God.
“Behold!” Said the scientists, we have here the basic building blocks of life in this dish. With the addition of 30,000 Gigawatts of power we will now demonstrate the method used to create life on our planet.
God interrupted and asked, what do you have in that dish?

I asked this question a while back. I have again heard that Sagemont Church in Houston has initiated a "special seating" policy that allows (restricts) the front few rows to be dedicated to those who give substantial tithes and/or donations. Can anyone give me any documentation that verifies this?

Why should I feel sorry or want to shell out my tax dollars for Katrina victims? These residents CHOSE not to have homeowners or renters insurance. I did not choose that for them. These folks CHOSE to live in a hurricane threatened area, I did not choose that for them.
The latest figures are over 10 million dollars that have been ‘stolen’ through fraudulent means via New Orleans. And they keep asking for more money? I have not given one red cent…and I never will. Since when is it MY responsibility to bail out others for their stupitidy?
Whatever happened to "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?"

Why or why not? I am interested in your opinion. Thank you. I am not atheist, I believe in God, but I am not Christian. I was agnostic for a long time, but have started to have faith again. Oh, and I am not talking about the God in the Bible. I don't believe in the Bible. Well, I don't believe that the Bible is from God or describes God in any accurate way. Let's just leave it at that.

I teach a class on meditation and I’ve entitled one of the sessions as, “The first obligation of love is listening.” What is your reaction to this statement?

This question can easily be answered by both theist and atheists alike. So feel free to strike any mushy minded metaphysical interpretation to this question if you feel so inclined.

1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Why did he create evil when he could pick and choose what he created and what he did not? This surely suggests that god thinks evil should exsist - but why?
