I've recently become intrigued with Buddhism--what exactly is the basic concept of this religion.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 20 years, but we've had to keep it secret because he's a priest. I want to marry him, but he's scared of "coming out" because he'll have to quit the priesthood. I'm thinking of giving him an ultimatum, either he comes out by my thirtieth birthday (next year) or I leave him. What is a good passage from the Bible that I can give him to help him realize that God just wants us to be happy and in love forever?

My friend has a ghost in her house and whenever I go over and spend a night the ghost is mostly active and I feel like he's always calling my name or saying "I love you." And I feel like when I got to sleep, someone is kissing me on the lips. Is this possible or could I be imaging this?

Come on, now think about it. People who deny their baser urges are not being true to themselves, so therefore that would make them hypocrites, right? And all people do that, whether or not they will admit it, for whatever reason. So it stands to reason that all people are hypocrites. Agree or disagree? Why?

Even if they went to a tanning booth at night time? The tanning booth is suppose to represent an artificial sun and since vampires can't expose themselves to the sun, does the tanning booth qualify? Can the undead like a vampire get a tan?

What do you think of this quote (taken from another Answers user)? If you're a believer, are you positive and happy in your life? If you're an atheist, are you miserable and hateful?

When I think about the real world, many times, the fittest do not survive. Factors like accidents and dumb luck are ignored.

In fact, many of the theories about selective breeding, etc, especially about how mates are chosen because of their ability to survive, blah blah, I think ignore too many real-world factors that are too complicated to factor. For example, you might say that women marry pro athletes or rich businessmen so their children will be successful, but look at how many fail to live up to expectations. Prince Fielder and Luke Walton are exceptions, but what about Michael Jordan's kids?

I think it's all about randomness and luck. Boiling life down to equations and predetermined outcomes will never work. That's my theory.

How can a homosexual possibly be a christian? It clearly states in the bible that it is wrong, and the reason the city of sodoma and gomora fell was because of the homosexuality. I'm interested to see as to how the homos interperet this differently. I'm a very curious straight christian with an open mind but i definately know that this is a sin and it is wrong.

I have met up with some christians in my bible study class and the only things they're worried about is stoping homosexuals from getting married,stoping lesbians from getting sperm donating to them, and at the same time they claim about spreading love to the entire nation. Yes the bible does say spread the word of god. Some people in this world do not beileve in god,so you can't force them too. God said your eaither with him or against him! You can't shove it down their throat,just spread the word of god to the people who are stuggling the ones who find it hard to pray in something they can't see. We can't just focus on 1 or 2 things in the bible,we have to get out their and focus on them all. Why can't we do that? Well the worlds not perfect.

I'm in a place i've never been before ("All aboard the Paranoia Express!")....I mean, life suddenly feels....weird...surreal.....like... things are really, really winding up. I'm sensing that just like during the Holocaust, things are going to get horrific, and they are going to get horrific very quickly. With all this stuff in the Middle East, I'm thinking it's the end times, just like the Bible laid it out. Anyone else have a creepy feeling about all this? Tell me I'm nuts. Please!

I just want to know why people think we are so weird and that we can't do things just like any other person. We have certain rules that help us to stay on the right path but that doesn't mean that we cant do anything everybody else does. Yes we eat cereal and no we don't have horns on our head. Please answer my question!!!!!

I for one think the majority of our society has no balls. We've become spineless, gutless wastes in a cesspool of political correctness. We're so afraid of offending someone that we no longer have the stomach to do what we need to do to defend ourselves and stand up to our enemies. We are also being crippled by our own cowardly media. It's put up or shut up time in my opinion.

I found it hard to form this question. This is my case. My darling Gwen and I met at our office and through mutual liking of classical music and a shared humor eventually realised our love after 3 years.
While just friends, her family welcomed me and invited me to their church. When we moved in together, the position changed. Horrid Bigots is the only way I can describe it.
At the end, I was away for a time and returned to find that Gwen had died from a rapid onset cancer.
The family had her buried in the non concecrated part of their cemetary and inscribed her stone with "UNKNOWN TO GOD".
I suffered severe depression and am now recovering. I have received helpful advice from readers of "Answers", but was wodering if such hatredwas commonplace.
