most of europe and canada force public school students to take sex ed as early as seventh grade...compulsary sexual education to 11 and 12 year olds, how appalling. do you want to see this happen in US public schools?

why not teach our children prayer, morality, values instead with that time?

sure those europeans and canadians may have teen pregnancy rates that are half of the US, and STD infections may be 50 to 100 times less common than in the US, and the percentage of teens who are sexually active may be lower than in the US. the US may be the leader among western nations in all 3, but still

and sure only 15-20% of pregnancies are terminated in europe as opposed to over 25% in the US, but still

STD infected, pregnant teenagers who get abortions are just collateral damage in the war against indecency and immorality

Ok.... tell me this: why the hell do you fundamentalist christians seem to like shoving your "godly" religion down our throats. IF WE DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD WE OBVIOUSLY DONT CARE ABOUT IF WE ARE GOING TO HELL OR NOT!

so just tell me this: what part of "quit shoving your religion down my throat" dont you understand?

get over the fact that people are DIFFERENT and that THERE WOULDN'T BE GET PEOPLE IF GOD DIDN'T LET THEM BE HERE!

I asked some Christians to clarify to me the Holy Trinity.
They gave some examples.
(1) Mind,Body,Spirit.
Ok, What is mind and what is spirit? What's the difference between them. i asked them individually. they were confused and gave conntradictory superflous answers. Ok, so God The Father is mind??
What do you mean by that? Jesus is just flesh or body--so he was like a corpse??? If you differenciate these three aspects--it impies that Jesus was exclusively flesh. ridiculous.
(2)Three states of water. Solid,Liquid and Gas. But One glass of water cannot be simultanously in all three forms. So, God cannot be simultanously in three states according to this example--he must be in triple point of water and that is not the normal state of water.
So, does God always exist in some abnormal state???

When the slaves from Africa were brought to America, they were disconnected from their homeland and roots. These slaves were forced to leave behind their culture and adapt the ways of their masters. Slaves adopted their master's last name (like branding cattle) and they were forced to believe in the religion of thier masters (Christianity). The reason this was done was because the depictions of Jesus were white, and since god was white, that meant that white people were in the image of god or gods themselves. This message was put uopn slaves with violence and even death for 400 years. Now look what we have today. Black Chrsitians who love Christianity (a tool of spiritual oppression on their anceters). The black Christian has within themself a contradiction which can never really be solved. To accept Christianity is to accept slavery, and to say christianity is good is to say slavery was good because you can't have 1 without the other. No black person would ever say slavery was good!

a good friend of mine is getting married at a fancy hotel in new york city. i live in ny so it's not like i'm traveling or anything, but i heard that you're supposed to spend about what they spend on you at the reception, but $350 is a lot of money for me (i'm a secretary) and i'm probably going to spend about $200 on a dress for the occasion.

"For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV)

Jesus says that we shall follow the biblical law. So in accordance with the biblical law:

Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

Please provide the names of blasphemers or bring them to the city gates so that we may 'take care' of them. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

to demand prayer in public schools? Let's see, Mondays can be Islam and we pray to Allah. On Tuesday, we can pray to Adonai, on Wednesday we pray to the wiccan God, on Thursday to all Native American gods, and I suppose the Christians will want a day of their own too so we'll give them Fridays!

Out of the more than 4,200 religions in the world, what’s so special about Christianity? Who’s to say that Zeus or Muhammad isn’t God? Or what about Allah, is he for real? (1) Christianity is unique because of its God. God is all-knowing, all-loving, all-seeing, and most importantly: God is living, after all the other deities of other religions have passed on and died. 1 Thessalonians 1:9 calls God “the living and true God” and Hebrews 10:31 shows how “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.” Clearly, He is the only God, and He always will be. (2) The Bible, the Book of Christianity, has survived a greater duration of time than any other religious book: two millennia and currently more than six billion in circulation! (3) Jesus. Did the deities of any other religion die to cleanse sins? Not that I recall. God, in the form of Jesus, in effect, was able to kill Himself! Not only that, but He was able to bring Himself back to life! No other deities did that!

Because, the feminine aspect of an effeminate male, is by no means feminine. No women act at all like that. No matter how campy she may be. So why purpetuate the stereotype, other than to provoke animosity from gay bashers, isn't this a not so good thing?
Instead of making progress for gay rights, they're only backsliding.

Where did we gain the ability to speak?
To form sentences and have language?

Please only serious answers. I have my theories but would like to know if there is proof of how language started.

I am not trying to disrespect anyones belief, just am curious. Thanks.

The bible makes it clear that we have free will, but he also states thats some things are predestined. But if the God choses everything then free will doesn't exist. However if free-will exist, then he doesn't know everything that will happen. What do you have to say?

Say a Jehovah's Witness comes to the door and rings your bell.

You answer, you say you are not interested, and close the door.

Where's the problem? Is it any more annoying than the people who sell candy or magazines door to door?
