Why does the catholic religion have such a horrible history of treatment towards humanity? Why do people still follow it?

I get very upset when i hear people talking about how gay men are gross. many people in my family and lesbains and i get affended by this conversation very easily. Something that makes me even more mad tho is when a guy says he likes lesbians he just doesnt like gays. Why is it that men are so afraid of gay men?
When i told my ex boyfriend my aunt was a lesbian he asked me if she ever made a move on me. what kind of question is that? I just dont get why society has made this whole thing where gay men are brushed off along with "ugly" lesbains. But the hot porn start girls that get it on is totally fine. How did this become exceptable?

My favourite word is 'opinion', because it sounds softly electric, and delicately rhythmic; seems like as if it were made up of two words i.e. 'open' and 'pinion' - meaning open wings. Besides, personal opinions are precious to us all, and opinions of other people are important. What is your favourite?

is there something in our genes or our brain that makes us discriminate against each other for no reason other than the colour of our skin?

It's really sickening. It's like it's "cooler" to be mean and nasty than to be a respectful, basically "good" person. What happened to morality and pride in oneself? Are there any good people left out there!?!?

Does anyone want to donate English books to a Chinese 24-year-old boy?
I just left school this July, with a Bachelor of Finance degree. And I'm working hard on my English, but I don't have too much money now.

All book acquired will be used for private purpose only, to learn more about English-language and foreign culture, partially for my work and partially for my interest.
You can send various books to me, regarding literature, business & finance, art & history, or any other magazines, etc..

If you feel like donating your English books to me, please leave a message here, then I told you my address details, or email me at maorui_201@yahoo.com.cn. We can contract via emails further.

Willys cynical thought for the day,

Those who don't laugh at themselves just leave the freaking job to someone else! I find it easy to laugh at myself & at stuff like this! Hahahahaha!

Dear Dr. Laura:  

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. For example, when someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.  

However, I do need some advice from you regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them.  

1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev.1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?  

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?  

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.  

4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?  

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?  

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?  

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?  

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?  

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?  

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev.24:10-16)? Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause[a] shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

i just want your opinion? i don't hate God. i'm just being curious.

If God is perfect, then he can do and make all things including mistakes and if God made mistakes, it made him imperfect.

do u get my point? : )

With the tax structure so high and the queen's extravagant lifestye, why can't she live on the interest of her wealth. She seems to be the most extreme case of welfare I have heard of.
