Many people will not admit that they have peed in a pool because of a social stigma attached to doing it. However, we know that most people are lying and that they have done it at least as a child, and many of them as adults. Women also complain how big of a pain it is to take off a bathing suit just to pee. I am curious how many women will honestly admit that they pee in a pool? Honest answers from women only please.

well this isn't directed toward any church in particular, it's just that a majority of my life, I have been going to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints off and on. There are a lot of nice people there, but once in a while there will be a bad apple.

They will pretend to be nice and genuin with you, come to find out later on, about a week or two maybe even a month, I will see right through them and their demeanor. They weren't the nicest people in the world. They allowed themselves to become religiouse finatics at the same time allowing themselves to forget what was most important. Compassion, Family, Friends, Respect.

Instead they have become overly critical and selfish. They carry this attitude like they are one of the best christians alive and everyone should follow in their footsteps. Truth of it is, they have no right to act this way or hold that attitude or status when they aren't being perfect themselves but they think they are. Who are they kidding?

when a question rambles on and on and on without ever stopping for a sentence end or concrete thought other than someone's stream of consciousness that took about 4 seconds to blurt out and is filled with bad spelling and grammar and texting"speaking" that u can find whenneva your lukin etc etc etc

I fear for the future for a lot of question posters I see.
What can we do to help promote good communication standards here?

have you ever wondered why every ethnic..tribal..cultural group on earth has some kind of a belief system we can loosely call a religion. whether it be worshiping a god..animal the sun ect..ect.. does'nt that sound like something evolutionary going on....that maybe man is predisposed to believe in something larger then himself to cope with the day to day survival that the early humans would have experianced.

Maybe some of the founding fathers followed Christianity in some form or another, but the main architects of the constitution and the bill of rights were definatlely not Christians.

Thomas Jefferson was a Deist. When he wrote about god he mean the Deist view of god = nature, not Jehovah or Jesus. He even wrote his own version of the gospels that removed all reference to theism and left only the moral teaching of Jesus.

Benjamin Franklin was a Deist. His friend Thomas Paine was an ardent opponent of the bible. George Washington was considered a Deist by his own Christian Pastor. (He was a member of the Christian church in Virginia because membership was MANDATORY in colonial days).

The first six presidents of this country were Deists or Unitarians. John Adams and Congress enacted the treaty of Tripoli that said in plain English that America was not a Christian nation.

So why do so many people use the fallacious statement that "This country was founded Christian."??

I have been trying to meet new people to chat to online. I like the idea of finding out about how people from other country's live thier day-to-day lives. How ever I have lost track of the amount of people who ask 'R u 16?' why is it so important to know if I'm over the legal age for consentual sex? And when I look at these people's web pages - oh my god! Large ladies with thier breasts out, old men naked - it just isn't right!! Why is it so scary out there in cyberspace??

I've just come back from collecting my girls and maybe its my nerves but have you noticed how noisy it is out there? Police sirens, car horns, lorries, car alarms, dopey young blokes with pounding music coming out of their car windows, thump thump, pedestrian crossings beeping away, the chemist's as you go in and come out, everything seeks to have an accompanying beep.

I gotta say, as much as I love my girlfriend, I consider my best (male) friends closer. I mean, a girlfriend is great, but guys need to spend time with other guys, and there are just some things you can tell other guys but not your girlfriend (or your wife). Agree?

Can you please translate this for me? Can you use the more "formal" version, like vosotros? Preferably with the corrrect accents and spelling to get the best answer points! Thanks!


I lost my bag during the performance of "Cut Copy" on Saturday around
12:30am - it was a blue bag by "Jack Spade" that I was wearing on my
shoulder. I either put it down or someone took it off my shoulder.

Inside it was a minidisk recorder, microphone, headphones, Canon Camera.

I am a Radio Reporter so I NEED the MINIDISK and Camera CARD more than
anything else since it has very important interviews on it that I did
with the bands... and without the disk I have lost all the interviews.
IF you stole the bag you can keep everything else... I just want the
disk.

If you FOUND the bag and will return all the contents, I will give you
a big reward, probably worth more than what you would receive by
selling the equipment in Spain. Please email me at
email@email.com
Thanks

So I asked a question about Eve and got a tounge lashing by some of the Christians ont he site. One told me God hates me - the other called me an idiot and then made fun of me.

Is this really the type of witnessing that you want to do to people trying to understand your faith?

I grew up Baptist and have really been missing fellowshipping with Christians. I am gay and I figure that is between me and God to figure out later. I did want to provoke some discussions and maybe enlighten some of you on my views. But after reading those entires it just sets me back again and I feel like pulling away from a vengeful God and a vicious congregation.

What is a person to do if they want to fellowship but they are not perfect? I am hoping to find a God and a congregation that can accept me for my heart and not judge me so quickly.

Any suggestions?

I propose a Campaign Against Superstitious Thinking, to seek to eradicate all forms of irrational belief systems - That includes all religions, plus supernatural nonsense like astrology, astral projection, crystal healing, belief in ghosts and spirits, faith healing, magic and witchcraft and so on and so forth, ad nauseum (and it is indeed nauseating).

What can we do to not only help people think rationally, but also to *want* to think rationally?
