Mel Gibson has been a very outspoken homophobe for years. He casts himself as the holier than thou Catholic, producing Passion of Christ, speaking badly about "Gay Hollywood." He has gotten his just desserts as far as I can see...the great Mel Gibson, ranting and raving in a drunken stupor about JEWS! I believe that his Christ was a Jew, I know for a fact that Jew are prominent in Hollywood, and there are one heck of a lot of Jews everywhere. I hope he is now down in the heap with Tom Cruise. He has been a particularly disliked "star" in my book, for he had everything, and chose to use it against Gays whenever possible. Time wounds all heals, and his time has come. Coverup and all.

The answer to this should be interesting. I expect the usual trash from people but it would be interesting to receive heart felt responses from people who actually contemplate the question.

I mean it's a cute story and all. God lovingly murders everyone on the planet except for one family and, two of every animal on the planet (somehow the kangaroos made it from Australia to the middle east huh?)
But in fact, that's all it is, a story. No evidence of a worldwide flood exists. None. I know some of you keep chriping about "plenty of evidence" yet when pressed, you seem to have something else to do or someplace to go. That's because you know it's a lie.
One fact that you all conveniently avoid is that the amount of water, on the ENTIRE surface of the earth, including the frozen poles, is insufficient to flood the entire landmass of the earth. In fact there would be only be a loss of about 2% of the shoreline over the planet.
And you also conveniently forget that any ship so described would destroy itself under it's own weight let alone survive the smallest wave. But hey, continue to delude (pun intended) yourselves about this fantasy. It's all you have after all...

Why do men wear earings? Shave their legs? Wear make-up?
Call me old fashioned but these are girlie things,...not manly things. And yet young men (particularly Americans) do it all the time.

Possible explanations of my own: 1) They want to be Pirates. 2) Women like it when their men look like women 3) Homosexuals have dictated what's "in," including fashion sense and social mores.

What is the point? I can provide mountains of evidence for evolution, but in my experience creationists simply won't read a word of it anyway. They'll use a cheap hand-wave to dismiss it, but not actually READ it.

Is their faith really that weak?

PS: here's LOAD of evidence, not that any creationist is going to bother to try to understand it.

PPS: before any creationist tries to say that they understand evolution but dismiss it anyway, provide proof that you understand it. Give me a brief description of what evolution posits, how it's supposed to work, and whether it makes any statements about theology at all. Don't claim to know what you're talking about. PROVE it, and not with a cute & paste job. Your own words, please.

By declaring the Bible "inerrant," does fundamentalist Christianity break the 1st commandment (below), placing the words of The Bible as a God above God himself and making the Bible constrain God into only acting in the ways and times described in it? Explain your thoughts.

"I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHO BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME." (Exodus 20:2-3)

Ok i got quite many responses to my question above, thanks for the contribution; but one thing that i STILL don't understand is, why when men see beautiful girls, some or most of them have to say something to her, sometimes nasty sometimes provocative, sometimes scary, (especially more if they are with a group of friends)? Ok us girls we do look if there are good looking men too, but all we do is look at least, we don't say nasty things or try to be funny.....

I asked a question earlier about the progression of technology (notice I skipped the word evolution) and I was surprised that among Christian answers there was a discrepancy between God being the author of time and bringing us these technologies and it being free will and the follies of man. So WHO is driving the bus here, God or Free will?

I'm doing a paper on the societal impacts that medically-recognized vampires have on america, and I need some more information. So, hypothetically, how would your relationship change if you found out your best friend/girlfriend/ boyfriend was a vampire?

My God, Santa, wrote in his book that we have to love Reindeers every day. If we don't we are sinners who are an abomination in the eyes of Holy Santa.

2 questions:
1) have you kissed a reindeer today?
2) why does this (even in my eyes) sound just as stupid as when other prejudice people condemn pre-marital sex (for example) based on an also old book, written by people who died long ago, based on the so-called Laws of another imaginary figure?

Dr Hawking asked a similar question the other day.

Global dimming. Global warming. VX gas. Nukes. Drinking water. Oil.

What's going to destroy life as we know it, and how long have we got?

And on what do you base that alarming assertion?

Interfaith is gathering of different religions of the world. Considering the influence of religion or faith to mankind, it is highly expected that through interfaith, religious leaders will come up with the solution to peace and prosperity among their members if not for the whole mankind.

Am I supposed to invite gals I invite to my bachelorette party also to my bridal shower?Or make it 2 different lists? My concern is I don't want anyone feeling like they have to get 2 different gifts. One of my friends is telling me anyone you invite to your bachelorette party should also have been invited to a shower previously. But that just feels wrong for them to feel they have to get 2 gifts. I guess I'm just wanting to be sensitive to their finances.

Why is it the most vicious, intolerant bastards are always the ones who act high and mighty and tell people they are going to hell?

Is it that they have guilty conscience?

Do they really believe in this imaginary hell and think 'well, if I'm going these other people who are beneath me are coming with me'?

Or are they just a bunch of fakes who think they can scare people into joining their fascist crusade against humanity?
