I have made some plans. A very nice hotel in a gay neighborhood, tickets to the art museum and choc covered strawberries in the room when we arrive. We are 40-ish and don't really like to got out drinking. Any ideas?

...religion? Will our future understanding change our vision of God?

How can you atheist deny and mock the force after a miracle like this? There is more historic evidence for the existence of Luke Skywalker then for any other historical person a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Prove to me that god exists. Don't use any bible quotes, and don't tell me that I just have to believe in it. On the other hand, prove that he doesn't exist, without using slander or just telling me your feelings on christianity. Let's see some proof from either side.

my parents havent seen me with a boyfriend since high school (im 22 now)....ive had a few "male companions" throughout college but nothing was too serious.

my little sister is constantly running around with boys and she always talks about her relationships with my parents. i have "relationships" of my own, i just dont date as much as my sister and i dont feel the need to share every detail about my life with my family/parents.

my parents seriously think im a lesbian. if i was, id be happy about the fact that theyre perfectly ok with it. should i just let them keep thinking that rather than making a big deal out of it?? im not much of the confrontational type.

them exactly what they want and are in fact losing your own argument?

This question was motivated by my other question.See:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqgYfDran_LQj.LSAjbQBgjsy6IX?qid=20060728144358AAa86v0

You see, when someone says something about your religion that might be offensive they are doing it for two reasons.
1.They don't believe in your religion
and/or
2.They want to get you angry and see what kind of garbage you might spout at them.

So, in effect, you're giving them exactly what they want.If you believe in your religion you don't need their approval and you don't need their validation and you shouldn't care what they have to say, right?

You could say anything about me or my family or my beliefs in an insulting way.Instead of becoming angry I would just laugh at your ignorance and leave it at that.I wouldn't respond negatively or report it or anything like that.I might tell you the truth.But I wouldn't get upset or offended.

The Bible says we should turn the other cheek, then later it says and eye for an eye.. well which one is it?

I don't have proof that a pink and green spotted weasel that makes rain doesn't live under my porch (I can't see in there), so does that make itn acceptable avenue to explore for the cause of rain? Should I ignore all meteorological "proof" (bastard scientists, what do they know?) simply because I can't prove the weasel isn't there?

You can apply this metaphor to any situation where religion bumps against science: Evolution vs Creationism, the existance of god, etc. Take your pick.

By birth I am not Jewish, I am Eastern Orthodox. Going through life, I discover more and more that I question and disagree with certain aspects of religion. For example, I'm pro-choice. I don't believe that suicide pulls you straight down to hell if you've lived a good life. I think people should be free to believe and worship as they like and not be scorned for it. Much of this contradicts the strict Orhodox ideals. I think there is something more powerful and great beyond us and our existence and people shouldn't fight over what to call it, rather observe the similarities between themselves.
Not long ago, I took a test and found out that lots of my ideas match up with Reform Judaism. I don't think I will "convert" but I'd like to learn more about this religion.
I'd be grateful for any input.

I have 2 pets in the house, stinky the possum and my cat doe doe . We live an ok life but i feel that god is UNFAIR since my ugly looks got me this type of life. This is why i wont bow down to a god.

Also I was told that If I offer my body to homless people for sex that in a way i am helping them because they dont ever have human interaction. Argus says he doesnt mind

Pretty straight forward question: I dont do drugs often, I like E but havent done it in over a year bc Im staying away from chemicals. That being said, I hate the way I feel when I drink, and am considering trying a tiny amount of shrooms for the first time for a party tonight. Is this advisable?? I have heard mixed things. ALso how are mushrooms in conbination with alchohol? I am considering making tea with them versus just eating them dried. THanks for your help!
