When you're taking a shortcut across town, your luxurious car broke down in the middle of nowhere and all you know is that you're in a bad neighborhood now (a ghetto with notorious gang activities). You know you maybe in great danger. Unfortuniately, you are alone, late at night 10:15pm. Worse yet, you are not a triple A club member (cause you didn't think you will need their service for your nearly brand new car.)
There will be another 50 min drive to go home.

Just when you're about to pick up your cell phone and call police for help. All of a sudden, there is one weird looking guy stopped his old truck, offering you a favor to drive you to the nearby garage for some emergency towing services....

How will you handle this situation?

As with a het relationship, sex is just a fraction of the whole equation. If there was no such thing as sex, would the companionship and lifelong committment of same-sex couples even be an issue?

And why is there so much ignorance?

Yes, I'm MtF. For those of you not in the know, that means I had a "sex change" from male to female. Ya know what bugs me most? Assumptions that I was a gay male prior to transition. I have always been attracted to women, and still am. So why did I transition? Not because I was So Waaaaay Gay, but because trying to be male when I really wasn't inside, in my brain chemistry, was killing me.

Some of you folks should read a book and something other than the Bible. Try something science-based. God gave us science and the ability to think to be used. I read the Bible every day, attend church, am active in my spiritual community, and yes... I even accept Jesus as my Saviour. Ya know what else? He accepts me too. Unconditionally. Pray on that.

They did kill themselves for their God, wouldn't the Christian God appreciate the devotion to the supreme being even though a different religion?

It is not Jesus' birthday. Christmas didnt start until hundreds of years after Jesus was born, and Jesus was even born in December.

This color system is so wrong. Can't we learn from our animals? Dogs don';t care what the color is as long as it smells good.

Do you know where you will go when you die?

Why not know for SURE where your SOUL will go when you PASS FROM THIS EARTHLY EXISTENCE?

You can KNOW for SURE thet you will go to HEAVEN when you DIE! All you have to do is!!!

1. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your PERSONAL SAVIOR!
2. Believe JESUS died for YOUR SINS on the CROSS!
3. You're SAVED by the GRACE fo the HEAVENLY FATHER!

Do you volunteer in your community? If so, what do you do?

If not, what's stopping you? Is it time, transportation?

I believe the Bible is God's love letter to us and that its message is for everyone. It's our owner's manual so to speak.

This would include studying the possibility of studying comparative global religions (trying to include as broad a spectrum as possible) or a single religion in depth.

If the scriptural texts (e.g., the Bible, the Quran) were used, they would be discussed in historical context, and any present day applications would have to have a balanced presentation (no single-source, "this is the truth," endorsements).

These classes could be taught in a history or social studies departments.

And in order to meet the separation of church and state, clergy would be allowed to address the classes and there would be no advocacy for joining a particular religion.

I am a 26 yr old legally married massachusetts lesbian. I have been on here for a while and this question is for everyone who is answering GLBT questions with hate and bible quotes. I'm not looking for judgement, becuase I belive that God will judge us all, and we have no right to judge each other. This is a real question, I am hoping for a serious answer.

I want to know how my marriage is hurting you. Can you please tell me how my marriage has directly affected you personally in either a positive or negative way?

Thank you.

A lot of the people responded with hate to a similiar question. No offense but I'm sure some would be taken. But from the avatars they all look like they are middle class white people who probably never had to struggle in their life. i'm not saying selling drugs is right but when your survival is at stake what would you do to survive???

Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the UNICORN with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Deu 33:17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.

Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Isa 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

A pink or white unicorn? Can it do magic? Does it ride on rainbows? Wouldn't it look cool airbrushed on the side of a van?

On the grand scheme of things we are hardly a grain of sand on teh largest desert.

And we are neither positioned centrally to anything.

Our galaxy is also insignificant.

Why did god make us so insignificant, di dhe create others more significant and

Really, how long did it take him to create all this??

Did he create each electron and neutron and proton individually?

I just read the report on the 'offensive' magazine cover (simply a mother feeding her baby). There's nothing offensive about the human body at all, and more of it should be shown on TV, instead of the extremely gross things we see today (CSI, blood, news reports of death, and how many Iraqis we've killed). Some people may say 'to protect the children', but what is it really going to hurt? Everyone has a body, everyone knows what they look like.

I am a hanif-muslim and I have come to the conclusion that ALLAH is the lord GOD of Israel.And jehova, jesus, and the father are a different diety.This is blasphemy to most, but true to my PEACE.Even in the psalms of david(pbuh), he referred to his GOD as the lord GOD of Israel to add to the 99+1 names and qualities of ALLAH.And it was the so called believers who troubled his soul so much.

Why is it when a Christian points out something that is totally unacceptable by God, in accordance to His Word, non-believers want to get hostile and call Christians "homophobes" and such?

I know that homeless people often encounter trouble for this, but I have an apartment, and it's nice to sleep outside and get a tan. Also, I won't have to make the bed if I do this.

I am so bored of lying out on my balcony, and I think that the neighbor girl watches me and takes photographs whenever I go onto my balcony.
