I heard different answers before. Seems like the Bible does not mention life on other planets, but I've been told by some Christians it doesn't exclude such an idea.

But when it comes to murderers and other source of violence, or theft, no one uses the Bible then?

I mean, I know the scripture "Whoever is without sin be the first to pitch the stone."

I feel homosexuals so be respected as much as heterosexual (I'm heterosexual myself).

I'm just curious as to what your theories are?

I am just on the verge of transition and I have been wondering how to go about my transition in my early days before I know 100% I can be out in the public as Emi. For me I am thinking about being isolated for the most part just so that old friends and enemies, that I don't intend to reveal I am transgender, can forget about me enough to the point if I run into them again they won't remember the old me. For example I would probably avoid the arcades to go play Dance Dance Revolution at all costs until I could wear anything I wanted to for the most part without risking being seen by pigheaded idiots that roam around my area and would do terrible things verbally or physically to me.

So overall, how much should I be isolated when beginning transition? Thanks for any input.

Adapting or evolving?

This isn’t a matter of ‘religion versus science’. Merely thought provoking and I’m more than interested in hearing your responses.

Me just rambling on:
Are we not the same now as opposed to four thousand years ago or further back then that? I feel as though the human race is absolutely fooling themselves into believing they are superior… even superior to their ancestors. The human race didn’t evolve, they merely adapted to their surroundings to a great extent. To me the word evolution should never have even existed except in the comic book universe.

Hi, I study Japanese! Is there some program where I can draw a kanji on the computer (with the mouse) and it will recognize the symbol? I actually remember having a mini-app like that and it was awesome! I really need something like that because how else am I to QUICKLY figure out what the kanji is?? I know I can use radical searches/dictionaries but that takes too long.

I'm on a Mac by the way.

Thank you!!!

Do you think everyone would simply ignore and/or dismiss him as a crack-pot with dangerous, cult-like tendencies? Think about it, he was quite radical, and I'm not sure some of his ideas would sit well with most of today's organized religions, or anyone else for that matter.

Is being Catholic and christian different? Does the Catholic church believe in different things compared to christianity or are they the same?

I will be starting my freshman year in college in about 2 and a half weeks and I was just thinking about the books and class material that I will be needing. And I realized that I might need my books in early so that I have them right away, but I wasn't sure. There is website that works directly with my college to provide the accurate books I will be needing for each course. I just wanted to know from people who have already been in college or are still in college what they did. Should I order them in advanced or wait till I get the syllabus from my professors? I know all the websites and stuff and I know to try to get used books, I don't need that kind of information!

Does it mean that we were created to look like God? Or does it mean that God is the creator and gave us the ability to be creators as well? I'm not a Christian, but I believe that there is some truth in the bible.

Who would win? Who could be the most mean to the most people? Don't forget the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Job's family...And though the Devil lives in Hell, God is the one who drops people off there without cab fare.
