Very relegious Christian men tend to expect their mates to be nearly perfect. What do you think about this idea. I am not saying it is true. Just curious.

Matthew 7:15-20 Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheep's covering, but inside they are ravenouus wolves. By your fruits you will recognize them . Every good tree produces good fruit.
So if someone said Thou shalt not kill but sanctioned war wouldn't that make them a false prophet?
Just as if they sanctioned or ignored fornication,spiritism like reading horoscopes. People who drink to much or poison there body with drugs, smoking, tatoos. Gamble and steal stuff.
Who ever speaks out against these things? To date no one.
Or lieing was one of the deadly sins. Yet everyone lies.
There really isn't a santa clause, or easter bunnie that is a lie.

Have you ever heard of the term "Halfbreed" given to bisexuals? Have you heard it as a diss for bisexuals like dyke is a diss for lesbians or f ag is a diss for gays? Many of these words have been reclaimed by the GLBTQ community so they are commonly used between them and not in a rude way. But my friend (who is a bi girl) got called a halfbreed by someone the other day. I've only heard it used a few times before as meaning bi. Have you heard it before in that way?

Oh and please no mean replys. If you do not know about bisexuals then educate yourself before answering. I'll link the common myths from the Human Rights Campaign so they don't get used in an answer.

First, I certainly mean no offense to homosexuals, in fact, I am not necessarily implying that a culture that does have higher homosexuality rates is bad or good, Im looking at the overall effect here.

The evidence in a nutshell --

Prison males have higher homosexuality rates because they are separated from the opposite sex. Chimp males deprived of females become more violent, the same is true for elephants. PBS had a nice special on this when they were trying to find out who or what was killing so many rhinos. Turns out, two males, separated from the herd and with no other female sexual outlet, turned their resovior of supressed sexual energy into rage and rhino murder which was otherwise way out of the norm.

Much has been writen about this, for example, Discover Magazine had an article many years ago about Incest rates and it turns out that countries that impose separation of sexes upon their entire culture (Islamic) had the highest incest rates (20-50%).

I know there are plenty of theings to believe in that don't link to religion, but for anyone, do you just believe in nothing (at times or all the time)? How does this make you feel?

I would be terribly depressed all the time...

Ok so I was in church today during worship and I was excited for God. I happened to glance around the room and hardly anyone was singing or even smiling. Whats their problem today? (not meant to sound that harsh but seriously?! Why be there if you dont want to be?)

Ever since I was about 10 I have wondered about this question. I was brought up Jewish, but as I got older I started to question all sorts of faith. So I thought about it. In Genesis, it says God created the world in seven days. Yet there is scientific proof that the dinosaurs existed for thousands of years with no humans around. Some people will say that those each of those days actually lasted for thousands of years.

So my question is: No one disputes the existence of dinosaurs. There are skeletons in every history museum in the country. So if Adam and Eve definitely existed, which came first?

I personally believe in evolution. But I would be interested to see what others say on this subject.

Jesus Christ was White

"I, Jesus, sent My messenger to testify these things to you over the Body Politics. I am the Root and Race of David, the bright and morning Star."
----
Jesus stated he is as the same race as David



"Now so soon as David appeared at his father's summons - a boy with golden blonde skin, with fiery eyes and in other ways handsome - "
----
The Bible also states David was white


So, according to the Bible, If Jesus is of the same roots and race as David, and David was white..Then that makes Jesus white also..right?

That was why he told me to "Shut up" today before we went to church. I felt like screaming and crying. I also felt like wanting to go to a friend's house, and called another friend twice. At that point, she yelled at me. What do you think I should do about it?

Our world seems to be getting increasingly more savage and self-centered. Why do so few people choose to do good things instead of bad? Why are so many people self-interested- happy to let the world destroy itself? Jesus was mainly concerned with bringing as much of heaven as we could here - to make our lives better today. Even if you're an athiest, you can see the value of good over evil.

I need to get even with my ex-fiance who had me thrown in jail and left me there to rot on false charges. Took me for over 40 grand that I can't prove in court. I want to get even. I don't care how it could ruin my life, because he took everything from me,it is already ruined.

If God is extremely handsome or pretty then we might fairly say that ugly people are further from God than beautiful people. Surely the closer we are to God's beauty the more favorably God created us.

You might give me the "talons" story....fine, keep that as a possiblity and then ask why God has to be concerned enough about his looks to make himself so beautiful...doesnt that take the emphasis off what its all supposed to be about....inner beauty...right, thats the whole religious premise in a nutshell..isnt it?

If God is made in our image, then there is an image and this has some human-like appareance that we can rate.

Maybe God has a Shrek twist waiting for us...

Not just the kind Jesus did when he walked the planet, but modern day miracles? an example is medical science. when a doctor tells a cancer patient that he/she has 2 months to live, and the person exceeds that and lives up to age 30? there's Plenty of examples like that, so what do you think about miracles?

So, officially I am not anymore a member of the church. The reasons being mainly spiritual. The christian religion and all other religions felt something I don't need anymore. My resignation symbolises the beginning of my personal journey towards my own spirituality. PS. I know that this probably doesn't interest you much, but anyway I thought that this question might bring out some interresting opinions.

If it's ok for muslims to shout all over the neighbourhood 'allahwhogaybar', then why am I being victimised for my own call to prayer? Most nights around 1am, I get up on the roof and wearing full Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler uniform of the SS, play Hitlers' speeches on a superbly loud stereo.I also goosestep up and down the roof giving the nazi salute and shouting through my loudhailer for 'Stuka support'.Why are muslims aloud to annoy everyone, and a good old fashioned Nazi like me is considered a nuisance?
I'm baffled on this one and I'm so cross, I'm thinking of withdrawing my Panzers from Tobruk.(Rommel has just said he won't,but he will if I tell him to)

I appreciate that restaurants nowadays often close for one day per week. As research for a novel I need to know if this was the case in 1935.
