Moral Relativism states that there are no absolute truths, for example whatever is right for you might not be right for me. This violates the law of non-contradiction. By saying there are no absolute truths, the statement itself is claiming to be an absolute truth. There is truth out there and it comes from the word of God through Jesus. What say you?

I've heard many ghost stories and several friends experienced it themself. I wonder why ghost stories related with old spooky places like old house, bulidings and woods (I went to a fila where the surroundings were woods and hills, my friends acclaimed they saw strange things. They did it except me!)
Are ghost has favourite places to dwell or itu just stupid imagination of many people had because it's old and deserted.

I am starting college in a new city, and I want to start going to a Catholic church (I haven't been to church since I was.....11 maybe?). I need to take adult classes, I never had first communion.

I don't know anyone who is Catholic that I could ask to be a sponsor, so I'm a little embarassed to ask at church for help, that is, I can't ask someone I hardly know to be a sponsor, right? . How can I handle this?

That's why I've been putting off going back to church...
thank you.

Most religions require members to believe that their "truth" is the only truth and all conflicting beliefs must be shuned. Is intolerance of others' beliefs a prerequisite for being truly religious? Are you either intellectually liberal or religious but never both?

Alot of people have been posting about Jesus and getting into heaven. most say, that he's not nessicary and that God is merciful and forgiving to everyone no matter what. I've got a better question to you all, If God was so merciful and loving, why would he not contact man? All these posts talk about God as some far off being that cant be reached. it's like he's there but not there. let me tell all of you guys something, if a creator spent the time to create this universe and every cell and organism in it, he would bother to make contact and attempt to make a relationship with his creatures. it's stupid to think of God as some far off being, b/c he's not. God created the world, man sinned and seperated themselves from God. God wanted to be connected so he sent Jesus. Jesus is now the bridge to God. Heaven is just a bonus, not the reason we need to be believing. We should love and serve God not to get to heaven, but to love and please our Creator. Jesus Christ is the only way to God

The media bombards us with images of mobsters (The Sopranos, The Godfather, etc.), and I'm concerned that this is negatively affecting people's perception of Italians. I am Italian, and I don't have any mobsters in my family, and I don't know of any mobsters either. My family has always taught me strong morals and values. I hear that Italy's crime rate is lower than the EU average. What is your honest perception of Italians? Please be totally honest.

Why do people mention the 1% to either justify or refute the 99%? What I mean is. If I say most people are angry you will say "I am not angry". You are by no means most people. If I say I do not support abortion you say, "So that means a woman who was raped should have to keep the baby?" This counter argument sites the 1% to justify the 99%. You know damn well abortions on rape victims account for less than 1% of all abortion performed.
