For example, my best friend, V, was complaining she is fat and she has a great body. I could bench press her!

Sex before marriage, sex with another person's spouse, lusting after another person if you are married-----these are still sins, right?

President of India issued an order that all efforts to make Hindi the sole official language of India by January 26, 1965 be strengthened and hastened. (According to the Indian Constitution, English would be used as a co-official language between January 26, 1950 and January 26, 1965. Then English would be removed and Hindi would become the sole official language of India.)

Indian Government controlled All India Radio (AIR) started using the Hindi word Akashwani on the air. Tamil people demonstrated against this. Tamil writers and performers refused to participate in radio programs. Indian Government decided to use the old name "All India Radio" in Tamil Nadu (Maras State) while Akashwani was used in other states. (NOTE: Indian Government started using Akashwani in Tamil Nadu again in 1982. Tamil people demonstrated and government went back to All India Radio again.)Before we go into the Students' Agitation, we wish to discuss the ultimate sacrifice of some Tamil patriots who poured petrol (gasoline) over their bodies, lit there bodies with fire, and offered their lives and bodies to Tamil in protest against Hindi imposition (self immolation).

These were the first instances of self-immolation in Tamil Nadu. In fact, these were the first instances of self-immolation anywhere in the world except for Vietnam where, a few years before, some Buddhist monks did the same to protest the dictatorial rule there. These are the names of the brave Tamil patriots who offered themselves as burnt sacrifices (If I left out someone please write to TAMIL TRIBUNE so their names could be added to this Honour Role of Tamil Patriots.):

Ayyampalayam Veerappan
Kellapaluvur Chinnasamy
Keranoor Muthu
Kodambakkam Sivalingam
Mayavaram Sarangapani
Satyamangalam Muthu
Veerukkambakkam Aranganathan

More details about these martyrs may be found in Reference 1. Tamil Nationalist Poet Perunchiththiranar sang of them thus: "Have you anointed yourself with black oil (petrol) and showered in fire?" (kan-nei muzuki kanal kuliththanaiyo?).

to peodeophilia. i agree that peodeophlic tendancys are something that should not be acted upon but that is because it hurts others. homosexual behaviour doesn't hurt others unless it is carried out without consent the same as hetrosexual behaviour. surly this is an important difference?

Many Christians say that homosexuality is wrong because the Bible condemns it. Then why don’t these same Christians come out against the following activities, which are also condemned in the Bible? Why the selective bias when it comes to scripture? Are lobster-eaters headed for hell?

Richard Dawkins is said to have written that if he saw a statue of mary wave to him, he'd just consider it a chance flux of the molecules in the statue.

Do you agree or disagree? and would you mind stating your religion. (oh, on the side, I'm jewish.)

Please keep answers short (~40 lines).
Thanks

Christians only. No God or bible bashing either. So every thought you have whether unintentional or intentional you say "here you go God here's my thought take it away" or what?
