PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR AGE

If you were at a fair or something, and there was a chance to do this for charity, would you be willing to do it?
Would you be willing to get your feet locked in wooden stocks, have your shoes and socks pulled off, get peanut butter spread all over the soles of your barefeet, and have a goat come over and lick the peanut butter off the soles of your barefeet?

So, would you do it?
Why or why not?
The best answer will get 10 points.
Thanks.

I grew up like Jesus my mother a virgin,( meaning no father to help birth me), I was raised in the church, I studied the scriptures, I lived in communion with my people. Me and other children my age, But I don't live like that now, I smoke, I drink and I have had pre-marital sex, so does this mean that I'm not holy does this mean that still can't turn around my life, and become somthing great. Can I still save this world from Sin, Yes becasue God is a forgiving God,
Think About It Before You Answer please, The answer has to come from the heart and not the brain, Your answer needs to have some substance.

If someone mispronounces your name or gets a fact wrong and someone else corrects them, the first person gets all mad. Save the drama. You were wrong!

"Do you think Jesus liked cupcakes?"

My question was removed and I don't think that it was called for. I want my question back!

I know it's a bit silly, but seriously, someone reported this?!?!?

....A couple of weeks ago I posted a question here about gay sex because I was curious about some things. Soon after, I rec'd a "violation notice" and was advised that my question had removed for "adult content". My question was totally serious, had absolutely no tone of "gay bashing", nor was it particularly crude. (I have seen MUCH worse on Yahoo!Answers.) Did someone report me, or are there Y!A people policing this site? What gives?

I find that the only way people really learn is when they ask the questions. It seems they have to be ready to accept a new truth themselves or a defensive shield gets put up immediately. Almost like they have to be curious and discover and discern concepts on their own accord. Just a recent observation. It has been working lately for me, but I still plant seeds.(very subtley).

I love sitting at a bay window by the sea and watching as the storms roll in over the horizon and watch the lighting in the sky. Then the waves pick up outside and you can hear the thunder. Nothing compares to the smell of the rain.

...if they were not allowed to preach to children?

And please spare us the "suffer the little children to come unto me" speech. If a law were passed that made it illegal for any religion to preach to children, it only permitted a religion to preach to adults, would the population of religious people drop, increase, or stay the same (and why do you believe your answer correct)?

- Find a prostitute and marry her. (Hosea 1:1-3)
- Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock. (Moses -- Exodus 2:16-21)
- Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal. (Boaz -- Ruth 4:5-10)
- Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife. (Benjaminites -- Judges 21:19-25)
- Have God create a wife for you while you sleep. Note: this will cost you. (Adam -- Genesis 2:19-24)

You people think God is cruel cause he set up laws in the Old Testement that was mean as you say. God brought swift judgment to those who was wrong doers. If you didnt follow the law then God told what was to happen to them and their families. Then you say we dont use the Old Testement no longer, well your wrong. If you would please read Galatians 2:14, Galatians 3:13, Galatians 3:17-25. This is some of the scriptures that shows you we are no longer under the law and that we do not condone killing people. Folks before you make judgment against Christians trying reading the word of God so you know what your talking about. So the question is, whens the last time you read God's word? Not just part of it but all of it.

I keep seeing athisest post that they are moral because they want to be, kind because they choose, nice and adjusted. I keep seeing over and over how atheist see themselves as nice, good people, without God. But, yet they continue to call believers ignorant, intolerant, lazy, uneducated, stupid, and crude, and when some respond back in the like sort, they claim they are the kind ones, and its the Christians that are mean. Come on! How ignorant do you think Christians are, when we KNOW you are provoking us, trying only to look superior, when you very actions speak that you are not what you say you are! Are you not a hypocrite, and also as wrong as Christians that act that way? Dont claim to be nice, we know you arent.

I travelled to Asia recently and visited my cousin in Singapore. There i learned a shocking language culture which is termed as Singlish. It's a term for local Singaporean English with the combination of both English and Singaporean slangs. I find that very annoying to hear, and their pronunciation is totally out! I'm truly dissapointed at how English is used by most Singaporeans.

The Presidential Prayer Team has urged us to: "Pray for the President as he seeks wisdom on how to legally codify the definition of marriage. Pray that it will be according to biblical principles. With many forces insisting on variant definitions of marriage, pray that God's Word and His standards will be honored by our government."

Any good religious person believes prayer should be balanced by action. So here, in support of the Prayer Team's admirable goals, is a proposed Constitutional Amendment codifying marriage entirely on biblical principles:
