I keep seeing this claim made on Y!A. Please explain to me why you think I don't exist. Is it that you think everyone actually believes in god? Is it that you are simply playing a game along the lines of "you say god doesn't exist when it's obvious to me he does, and so I say you don't exist when it's obvious to you you do"? Or is it something else?

I ask the question in all sincerity. I want to hear serious answers, not bashing. I pose the question myself, but also will answer it my own way. Feel free to answer with your own opinion. (Try not to spew hate, just express yourself without resorting to name-calling)

Some Christians think that in order for gay people to get equal rights under the law, it is infringing upon their religious beliefs. I don't think this is the case. I think that a person's faith and the law of the land don't have to go hand in hand.

I don't believe in the same God as Pat Robertson or Fred Phelps. I'm willing to suffer hearing their comments so they have the freedom to express their beliefs though, because I believe so strongly in our freedoms in America. I don't want to silence them. I want them to speak. I want them to have free speech rights. I just think Christians can have their beliefs without making them national laws. Minorities need laws to protect them agains the majority.

I have not, in fact, hurt them and I am, in fact, wishing them well. So how can someone justifiable be offended?

I've heard people say it different ways... usually here, though, we say "stoo-pid". That's normally what I say!

Gosh this is a pretty stupid question, but I just wanna know! Lol

So why can girls call their female friends "girlfriends," but guys like I can't call my male friends "boyfriends?" Bryan's my best friend, we're 100% straight, but I would love to call him my boyfriend! I'm serious.

it is way to depressing to think about the 3rd world war that is most likely to happen, and the conflicts between all of the thousands of religions in the world.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,[b]

Matthew 5:43-44 (New King James Version)

I have been reading this morning some mean nastyness from my Christian brothers and sisters, and wanted to warn or admonish them. Perhaps I am taking this out of context, and my Christian brothers and sisters are exempt from 43 and 44?

Take the Muhammed cartoon controversy, for instance.

Or, for a less violent example, the near INSISTENCE of American Jews that "Hannukah" be mentioned too whenever "Christmas" comes up in public functions.

And once, when I tried to give Halloween candies to an American girl, her parents REBUFFED my gift with: "Sorry, but we're Protestant. We don't do this stuff. Halloween is a Catholic thing." (I found that a somewhat insulting reply to my gift.)

But WHY BE SO TOUCHY?

I'm Buddhist. I've always been Buddhist.

But I have played the piano for Christian services, several times (hymn accompaniments and such). My maternal family's Muslim, and I've participated in Islamic rites for my ancestors' commemoration too. It's okay, it's all good...
