I know the difference between sunni and shiite; however, I have sometimes heard the word shia used - is that interchangeable with shiite.

I'm 26 and insecure b/c I haven't had a girlfriend, kissed a girl, or had sex with a girl. I get very nervous around attractive girls. However, I was a virgin until 23 when I met a guy online just to lose my virginity. I was w/ a guy b/c I didn't expect to be w/ a girl anytime soon. I've been w/ several guys since then, all met online. I fantasize and am attracted to girls, but cannot get with girls. The only people that seem to want me are the guys I meet online. Sometime when I was 6-8 yrs old, my grandfather groped my crotch once. My grandmother saw and told me to never tell my parents, which I still haven't b/c my grandfather passed and it's a small issue. I remember being a sexual person even before this incident. I used to hang out with mostly girls and play with dolls b/c I wanted to be close to girl friends. Only after an adult counselor chided me did I start to hang out with guys only and become closed off to females.

I don't know what to do with my situation.

I believe in the beginning, before you were born you were given a choice of different lives, which you could live. Each person was given a different number, and given a preview of each life they could choose.

In all, there would be heartache and pain, but also joy and love, you choose which you wanted though! In each there was a different sexual orientation perhaps, now if you had been given two choices only...

One be straight, but abused by those you loved, and the other be gay and only hurt by those that refused to understand...

Which would you chose?

After making the choice it is forever, you cannot change it, thus it also you are born gay too!

I have posted several questions, with various topics.I continue to recieve negative comments in some questions that aren't harsh. The same people keep sending sarcastics remarks, even though these same people are the ones crying and complaining about Christians being judgemental or uneducated or that we're brainwashed or even that we believe that the Bible is a fairytale.Aren't these same people being judgemental and hypocritical.

I ask the questions that need to be asked to understand what people truly believe about "race relations" in america. From the responses I receive (view my questions), white people seem to think they know more about "US" than we know about ourselves.

Do understand that I am one man who knows and believes that the healing of our people and the harm of our people rest solely on the shoulders of black people.

Understanding the social separation that this country offers amongst minorities and those of whites are clearly different. Any person who would say that it is not IS A FOOL.

If you recongnized a beautiful woman or an attractive man walking down the street and I thought that that same person was unattractive, does that make me any more right or wrong than you? Or vice versa? NO... it simply means we have different views. It is impossible to look through the eyes of another man/woman. Blacks can't see White and Whites can't see Black. We live in a color blind nation

Does the idea of giving some sort of supernatual entity control of your life give anyone else the creeps? If you took this literally--wouldn't it mean letting this entity make all your life decisions, and living like a puppet on a string (voluntarily no less).

I know a ton of Christians will come on and object to the puppet analogy but isn't that what the 'Jesus take the Wheel' analogy really means?

I'm contrasting this with the idea that Christians believe that Jesus is really in the passenger seat telling them where to go while they steer--he is not really in control of the 'car'.

Adam and Eve were tempted by the forbidden fruit, right? How could the Garden of Eden be paradise if the capacity for bad was present? Sounds a little too similar to our present world. Just wondered if anyone has any insight.
Thanks!

And a Black Miss America is racist? When you think about it all of those things were started because of white racism.

Like no TV shows showing black culture so BET. No college fund for blacks kids because of racism. Blacks didn't win awards for Miss America so they started their own.

Why is it that you see these things as blacks trying to be racist, yet it was because of racism towards blacks why it was started?

Why is it that the only thing we hear about God comes from people speaking on his behalf, namely cult leaders, religious preachers and followers, most of whom are lunatics and war mongers. If God genuinely existed, he would silence these people because they are an absolute embarrassment. Just check out some of the religious idiots who post on Yahoo Answers.

When you listen to these idiots trying to justify God’s love and existence, it takes very little commonsense to realise how imaginary God is. If God were real, he would speak for himself. The fact that God does not speak, and that he allows any lunatic who comes along to speak in his name, proves that God is imaginary.

If all you religious people who try to mentally saturation bomb gullible minds could see how stupid and embarrassing you are to the intellectual mind, perhaps you’d stop making fools of yourselves.
