Don't tell me what you hate about it. Just tell me what kinds of things you think the Catholic Church has done or is doing right.

(me and her have this weird friendship.we flirt alot and i have told her that i like her. she said she is straight. yet she still flirts.she know that i am bi .) we where sitting there holding hands then she put her head on my chest. and she turn and look at me. i couldn't help it ... i kissed her and then she kissed me back. so we made out and stuff.
then all of a sudden she jump up and saids " i can't do this" and grabs her keys and walks out. i get a message from her today on my facebook from her. basically stating that. "she loves me but she can't let herself love me.... it's wrong and God doesn't like." i want to call her back. but i had no clue what to say.

Plead the case for God. Why should someone believe? Shortest, most convincing answer gets the 10.

For all you people who dis our serious questions with quotes from the bible...and those have a similar opinion...I have friends who go to church and say that they accept everyone and anyone, yet they do not accept gays, but i do have friends who actually follow their faith and accept everyone for who they are. I know that in the bible it refers to being gay as a sin, but isn't discriminatin also a sin? not loving someone for who they are? Being bi, i usually do not partake in my friend's conversations when they are talking about people who are gay are in the wrong, although they do not know i am bi. I just wondered why people can't see and accept gays as humans? it's a way of life, do people who discriminate have an image of a perfect human? do they think that God has only one mold for everyone??? i thought that everyone is individual? so why is it so hard to accept us?!

Wouldn't it stand to reason that the followers of that religion would be better off than those of another?They would be consistently more happy, without troubles like disease and famine, and not fall prey to bad things in general. But this is not at all what we see. Instead, we find that all people, regardless of religion share the same troubles in roughly the same amounts. If a religion is to be believed, then shouldn't its deity help its followers? And wouldn't we be able to consistently see these effects by the 'correct' sect being better off on average? This is just more proof to me that God and religion are man made ideas. Any thoughts on this?

Other animals probably do too, but dogs are the most common. This question would deal if man (not woman) had no alternative but to live outdoors without the modern conviences and in areas where there are no "outhouses" or portable toilets. Referring to modern man.

I am interning in this place that is male dominant(math, physics type of job). I work hard and I believe I deliver good work. This only problem is, people never really take me seriously. Not in a sense of "you are just an intern", but in a sense of "you belong to my bed". (I know this because there are other interns.) I am asian,petite, with size 32c (yes, not 34c, but 32c, which is freaky). and hell, I even get this "golden butt-to-waist" ratio. I tried everything I can think of to divert the attention. I wear big shirt to cover up, talk in a lower voice, never wear makeup(beside putting light-colored lipstick on to cover my full lip),and try to be one of the guys. Nothing seems to work...I am so frustrated. Do I need to wait till I am 80 and ugly and wrinkly to start my career? What else can I do to make people focus at my work?

People of all faiths and backgrounds need to calm down and just let bygones by bygones.

I can understand defending your faith and all, but why do you need to start an online war?

Don't sit there and preach to those who dont want it or need it.

If they believe there is no god, then let them be.

Consider this...Educators tell us that we use only twenty percent of our brain, but it's that same twenty percent of the educator's brain that's doing the reasearch. So is it possible to really answer this question accuratly with our limited brain resources.

Hey all, I have been doing some research about the middle east. These are some things I have found. Could you give me some more RELIABLE & UNBIASED links about the issues in the middle East. I want to hear from everyone, Muslims, Jews, Christians. Everyone, so I can see both sides of the proverbial "coin" Thanks I am looking forward to your input about the violence in the middle east.

I'm pretty offended that these completely non-religious people wear chains with big crosses on them! Why do they do that? And don't whine about me judging without knowing because it's obvious they're not religious with what they do! So they're either trying to give the impression they are or they're just being ridiculous. Anyway, could anyone give me some serious answers with ideas of what these people are trying to show or whatever? Thanks!

Hello. I'm 16 years old and I'm having a very difficult time in trying to see how I can tell or 'make it seem obvious' to my parents that I am gay. As you can see my parents are strong believers in the Pentecostal-Christian faith and they don't take homosexuality as a joke. What they don't know is that I am part of that great big circle they oppose greatly of, not only that they are against me and hold me in high disappointment because I was brought up in a 'Christian family' and yet I don't go to church. I don't believe in God, or anything and I've been like this for years. In fact, I've been liking boys ever since I could remember, but I've been keeping it hidden in the shadows afraid of what is to happen. I'm growing up, my hormones are starting to react to things and my heart is beating faster! I have a crush on my best friend, I love him 2 death like a brother and a lil bit more. I just don't know what to do. If I was to call myself a Christian, that would be hypocritical.
