If all the artificial stuff was to suddenly dissapear, that is, food, clothing, buildings, processed materials, tools, machines, everything, like if we just arrived to a new empty planet with only natural resources and nature, what would be the processes to follow to achieve what we have nowadays ? like... we'd need to to get raw materials first, but we'd need to produce the tools first, etc etc.. (clothes, houses, computers, everything is build by means machines, which are also build by other machines, and tools are too).

I am asking this because I keep hearing about men who realized they are gay when they are already middle-aged and married. Could these people have had a mutually satisfying sex life with their wives or girlfriends before they came out?

Non believers say that there is no God Yet for the most part they follow his basic rules.Gods rules were the basic foundation of our legal system so why follow them.?
Gods rules are the basis of morality so why follow them?
Seems to me atheists want to follow the basic rules just not the main rule.

I love this guy. I really truely do and its been hard for me to say that for a long time. No one knows but I feel alright sayin it here because nobody knows him or me. He and I are really close and great friends. I always thought something was a bit off-he was always more sensitive and he is my dance partner. A friend saw his myspace and found out he is bi. I don't care. I really truely don't. But I live in a very closed minded society. My parents tell me I would never be alowed to date him while i am under their roof and if I ever did they would *gulp* write me out of the family. I love my parents to death-but when they start tlking bout how bi guys can never love anyone and how it would make my life hell I don't know what to do. It hurts me to hear them say things like that. Oh and I am catholic(complicates things a bit) so I would be thrown out of my church. I love my church and everything but I love him. I can't stand to hear people say these awful things anymore. Help me!

Ha ha made you look.
Have a nice day everyone let's get along, huh? Can we please be grown ups and discuss things without condemnation or ridicule? Peace and love my spiritual and non-spiritual friends alike.

I work with developmentally disabled adults. The house that they live in is haunted by a man, a little girl and a little boy. We know the history of the house, have spoken to family members and have described the ghosts. The family has confirmed that they are the individuals that had died there. One of the women I work with is autistic and the room she sleeps in is occupied mostly by the little boy, do you think it is tantamount to abuse to force her to sleep there, when she is obviously terrified to go in at times?

If they do believe they existed, and suppose they hadn't died out, would they have been able to go to heaven - as they're a different species from us?

When they say that evolution and the big bang are theories (something based on evidence and logic) have they forgotten they believe in the creation story (something made up to entertain small children) Say no to jesus http://www.saynotojesus.tk

My understanding is that there haven't been any more Jewish prophets since the Romans destroyed the (second) ancient temple at Jerusalem. Is this correct?

Why did God stop calling prophets from among the Jews?

I think that my bike jerseys and shorts are more or less too tight and bright colored to be associated with rebelling... Besides, I wear a helmet as any serious cyclist should! A rebellious one wouldn't. I take my cycling very seriously and I do it often, but I would not expect to be labeled a "rebel" for it, and I was just curious as to why cyclists are labeled as such. Thank you!

To be fair, they did that to almost everyone as they were leaving the service, but, being from America I am not used to that culture. Am I being too judgemental of other cultures?
