Sometimes I'd rather have a Girl say I don't date black men or something like that then to tell me I don't date men. Maybe it's because racism/prejudice isn't new for me to deal with.

I think we Straights take it a lil personal and thats where some of the hate stems from. (I don't hate anyone.)

Here's the Kicker I got no problem saying to a Gay guy I don't date men period strictly becasue of thier Gender.

I hate being dissed Becasue of my Gender Yet I'll turn around and Do it. I guess I'm just a Fu*ked up Person. Yet still trying to illustate a flaw so it can eventually be fixed.

I am researching pre-Mohammadean Arabic history, and I've found some interesting facts. Some of the facts make me wonder how much of Islamic tradition is from Mohammad, and how much existed before Mohammad was even born. Many Muslim tell me that Mohammad's religion is completely original..."made from scratch"...but historical fact casts serious doubts as to whether that is actaully true. Who knows the primary function of the Kaaba BEFORE Mohammad was born?

I was saved when I was 12 years old,but became lost a few years ago,and I am now finding my way back to the Lord.I have always been a poet, and if you like this poem, would anyone like to read others that I have written?It expresses how I felt,and how I'm feeling now. All my poems are covered by a copyright.

The Last of the Shadow Fades Away
Morbid poems I have been writing
For with myself I have been fighting
Shadowed words for a shadowed mind
But I really think it's time
To put away the shattered past
And find contentment, God at last
Glad again to be alive
This one thing I hope to strive
To be the person I used to be
No, she's still inside of me
I buried her deep, wanted to forget
But now, that's the one thing I regret
Shadows lift away, return no more
I want the person I was before
Set me free, no longer stay
The last of the shadow fades away

will write more under additional details, so hold on

He has to go bad so he looks out and there is the janitor cleaning the church. He begs the guy, "Can you take over for a little while I gotta go to the bathroom!" The janitor says "Uhh, I don't know anything about penance." The priest says "No problem, I got all the sins and their value written on the inside there."
So the janitor agrees and the priest goes.
A lady comes in and says "Forgive me father for I have sinned."
The janitor says "What did you do?"
The lady says "I gave a BJ to another guy."
So the janitor starts looking on the list, swearing, stealing, hurting others.... can't find BJ anywhere.
He says "Excuse me one moment, I must commune with the Lord for exact penance"
He looks out in the church and sees the altar boy getting ready for the next service. He says "psst... hey do you know what the priest gives for BJ's?"
The altar boy says "Last week it was a blow pop and a Snickers bar."

In another thread, "WhynotaskDon" claimed that those who have never learned about Christianity go immediately to heaven; that only those who reject your religion go to hell.

Does this mean that, if you're a poor example of Christianity and do a lousy job witnessing to others, that you're condemning untold numbers of otherwise-good people to hell just because you're so incompetent at getting your message across?

Thanks a lot, Xians.....

Stephen Hawking has done groundbreaking research on black holes and the origins of the universe. He proposes that space and time have no beginning and no end. Hawking has also suggested that if the universe was created then it is reasonable to assume it had a creator.

Hawking has also theorised that there could be multiple universes, possibly spawning like bubbles between yourself and your TV set. Why if someone so clearly intelligent and researching as Hawking, suggests that if the universe was created (in other words he doesn’t know) can so many uneducated religious people state that the universe was created by God?

If human intellect is unable to determine whether the universe was created, why does religion take over and assume it was and calls the creator God. Do religious people think that they are more intelligent than Stephen Hawking, and why do religious people not acknowledge that there could be multiple universes? Would each universe have it’s own God?

perform marriages they do not believe in? Should people be allowed to claim a religious exemption from performing such services, or should they be forced to comply by law? Should threats of jail, fines, etc. be used to "prevent discrimination"? Why or why not.

Many Christian denominations like to point out how wrong the Catholics are for doing things that are not in the Bible. Among other things, Catholics are infamous for worshiping Mary (they don't really, and people who think they do are ignorant, babbling monkeys who refuse to get a bit more informed--but that's beside the point).

However, when asked where the rest of the human race came from if God only created Adam and Eve (and who was it that Cain feared so much after he committed the First Murder), those same Christians conveniently answer that while it isn't written in the Bible, surely God created other people after Adam and Eve.

What gives? Aren't they basically the same as the Catholics who "corrupt" God's words by coming up with things that aren't there?

I've seen numerous posts where Christians answer saying "You're an ******" or "I'm imagining beating your head in with a crowbar" ... and then they have to nerve to add on top of that "God is with me and watching me" or "Only God can judge me".

For a moment, lets think of Religion as a team sport.

You were born into a large group of people called Universal Man.

Yet as you grew older, you were introduced to different sports (religions). Your family played a certain sport, you learned about different sports in school and on weekends you visited friends participated in their families favorite sports. Eventually you joined a sport.

You might take it seriously and become a professional or you might just play people in your community. Of course...as is the nature of sports, some people are left out. They are left out because they are not good players or because they don't have the right equipment to participate in the sport.

And each team feels that the people on other teams don't know anything about the sport and are playing by the wrong rules. They criticize one (arguing over who goes to heaven and hell another and throw objects at the players of other team (war).

So if your team wins, what have you won?

The third and final in a seires of questions about our real world - gay - anti gay

So you are disgusted by the very humane mechanics of how you are created, interesting... let me remind you, I find certain ways of gay people disgusting, I am free to say that, you are free to say whatever, just dont lie to yourself,

If gay is so right, why does it take some gay people years to realise ? or are they really trying to debate with thier own self....sounds more realistic... anyway, serving excrement isnt a good daily diet for your children. Oh yeah, you dont want to create...just confuse. part of me thinks "if they wanna exist, let them..." another part of me thought these three posts on yahoo answers...hence reality. Thanks for participating in this discussion, its been realistic. Many thanks to yahoo for allowing FOS

1. His wife rode right next to him. Her name and her horse'sname,please.
2." They don't talk about broads - nothing. Ya never hear Little Joe say, "Hey, Hoss, I went to Virginia City and I saw a girl with the greatest *** I've ever seen in my life." They just walk around the Ponderosa: "Yes, Pa, where's Little Joe?" Nothin' about broads. I don't think I'm being too picky. But, if at least once, they talked about getting horny. I don't care if you live on the Ponderosa or right here in Baltimore, guys talk about getting laid. I'm beginning to think that show doesn't have too much realism." What show is this referring to, and in what MOVIE was this spoken?
3. " Matt, you can't account for everything that happens to people who touch you. You know, I learned a long time ago, there are some things in this life that you just accept the way they are. "
