16 “If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

You treat a gal nice, she think otherwise. She can touch you, but you better your hands to yourself. Sad to say, my own conclusion is, some people especially Asian is still not so receptive on opposite sex being best of mates. Or we Asian super dirty minded all along and superb imaginative.

I'm not atheist, i just want you all to know.
atheists have the reason for not believe God,
why do you judge them without asking the reasons why? as long as they are not do crime and hurt anyone, it's better than someone have a religion then he judging, insulting, and killing people by the name of God!

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

When a person who once had serious issues with alcohol, drugs, crime, and/or abuse is turned around to live a "reborn" life of recovery, we treat him/her as a hero. But for the person who lived a simple, clean life of honor and respect, each is nearly ignored - like a virtual "nobody." Why does our society hold the "bad guy" in such high esteem?

The Torah is divided into 54 weekly portions (parashyot). 6 of them are named for people. (Noah, Chayeh Sarah, Yitro, Korah, Balak and Pinchas). It is usually considered an honor to have a Torah portion named after somebody. But parasha Balak (Numbers 22:2-25:9) is named after a Moabite king who summoned the prophet Balaam to curse the children of Israel. Why would the rabbis have divided the Torah this way and given the honor of naming the Torah portion after this person?

I'm just saying, it doesn't seem like they care much about anything. Except removing questions that aren't offensive at all and leaving the nastiest questions that I have ever seen.

I am just ranting.

That's like gay bashers being in the gay section. Why don't they just say they don't believe in God and that's it? Some non-believers are more mature than others.
