first we cant smoke in resturaunts then in bars even transit centers are banning smoking and their outside. the casino is the only place where i seem to be able to smoke then i have people sitting next to me complaining and it makes me so mad because there are plenty of casinos in my area that have smoke free sections. if i want to hurt my own body by smoking thats my desicion if others dont want the effects of second hand smoke then go to one of the millions of places that have banned smoking. just let me slowly kill myself in peace. and yes i know all the effects of smoking many of them are listed right on the pack of my cigarettes im not stupid. so my question is why cant you non smokers let us smoke in peace in the few places we are still alowed to smoke and why cant we be given a few more places to smoke?

Honestly, just curious. I'm a straight male but I do have a good friend thats gay, I don't discriminate just as long as another guy doesn't try and touch my wing wang I don't care what your sexual preference is. Thank you Yahoo for this program because now I can ask these questions that have ben bugen to come out for a long, long time. What makes a guy gay. What finally drove you to the point to where you said I'm just tired of females and I want a change? Do you ever think of getten it on with a women? What makes another male more sexually attractive then a women?


Please try to answer as many questions as you can? Sorry for all the questions I just would like to beable to better understand life through your eyes by reading what you have to say rather then always seeing it on television and on the news.

I am not against religion or religious expression, but while many people will argue how religious people might be annoying or idiotic or morons, islam is the only religion that is stopping civilization in its tracks all over the world. I know muslims say that only a small fraction of muslims are extremist, but there are over 1 billion muslims in the world. If only 1% of them were extremist, that is 1 MILLION muslim extremist in the world today, and that is at the low end. Then add on the maybe 5% who at lease sympathize with the terrorist cause and you get scary numbers. All religions and atheistic beliefs have extremist, but last time I checked there wasnt Shaolin monks and Catholic priest hijack planes and blowing themselves up in markets.

I know this isnt PC but arent we all beginning to think what a pain Islam is on the world now, especially with todays plane bomb plot scare?

a co-worker of mine gave birth to her son 1 month ago and he has been in intensive care ever since. just now, i found out that my co-worker and her husband decided to take the baby off the machines early this morning and now her son is in heaven.
(the baby wouldn't have survived, and to force him to suffer in this world was not in his best interest).

the next time i see my co-worker may be at the memorial service.
we're not close friends, but she is one of my favorites to work with.
instictively, i'd like to wrap my arms around her and bawl, but that's probably not appropriate.
can someone tell me the right words to say?

before he cannot get into heaven?

Please be specific and try to avoid rambling, incoherent speculations about unrelated matters.

Example: A person can only sin once (or any other applicable number) a day (or period).

And, other than "blaspheming the Holy Ghost" (whatever that means), is there any sin that will prevent a person from going to heaven? If so, please specify:

Example:

Adultery; lying; murder; thievery; etc.

Please be concise.

Thanks.

NO PERVS Please! I don't mean like regarding the sexual abuse, but instead, like "I'm a priest, I have a sermon to prepare to help my flock get to Heaven, but first I have to molest this child." I mean, do you think they know they are evil and enjoy deceiving congregations? Do they think they are going to hell?

i asked why it was not o.k. to test god when it was o.k. in aincent times.
well 1st thessalonians 5:21 (kjv) it says to prove all things and hold fast to that which is true. in another version it says to test all things. well wouldn't god be considered part of all things? either he is part of all things or he is nothing.

All of the religious people and leaders were confused, upset, and scared. Christ was changing the way many thought. Turning the tables around for everyone. How? He had studied the scriptures as a child. No one could get him away from arguing religion, but what was always clear is that he wasn't wecomed by any of the religious leaders nor men of high power. They tried to match his knowledge of the bible, but would all fail. Christ had become God to all. They didn't believe him. Never once said, he could be the real son of God. Why? That brings great doubt. Holy men not believing in their own religion, fearing Christ like he had become something they had created without being part of the plan. My question is did they cover up this mess by adding him with the rest of the old scriptures and therefore setting everything back to as it once was?

Worlds in worlds

Individuals with minds far from reach
Living and thinking of what to teach
Teaching the millions of mindless sheep
Flocking to evil with their hearts open wide
Nothing but darkness waits inside

A misplaced kingdom caught in time
The genuine things are lost in our mind
All our praised leaders concealed in masquerade
With question on what to adhere to
With question of what is accurate

our faux royalty
Prancing around in there riches
When there are mouths to feed
Poor country’s with nothing to lose
Holding to their souls amidst the abuse

When all these things are said and done
Our god is shaking his head
With the savior son

Hearts hurt scared and bruised
With nothing to gain and everything to lose
Somewhere deep inside we live
But till then we got nothing to give

I've just realized that a great number of people come to this forum to attack homo's, but that the homo's do not go to other forums to attack straight people for their beliefs. I'm not sure why I didn't notice this before. This sort of reminds me of the persecution of the jews simply for being jewish. One user on here even mentioned to me that he had over 70 stitches on his face as a direct result of his orientation. It makes me wonder, does the constant abuse, physical and mental, ever make any of you want to change your orientation to straight? It is almost as if your struggle parallels what african americans went through before the emancipation proclamation. And yeah I would call it a struggle because you're being attacked from all sides, by strangers, religion, even your own family. This community is tougher than I realized. I in no way agree with homosexuality, but I admire that homo's stand up for themselves. Sorry for this not being a question. =)
