We all know how well Islam treats the women. I don't want to give up my human rights just for the sake of feeling like I'm going to Paradise. I don't want 72 virgins. I want 72 buff cowboys and a little read Ferrari! I want an eternal supply of chocolate cake and the promise I'll never get fat. The men get to deflorate teenage girls and drink wine and have slave boys. What do I get? A dishwasher and more slavery? bah!

Does this mean someone found out it was a bogus question? I saw one about kitten blood that was taken off (thank God) that is what made me wonder if offensive or bogus questions get taken off. (not that I would post one...)

It stands to reason, if God knows everything, then he also knew I would be an atheist, and if God is an allpowerfull, all knowing creator of all things, it stands to reason that he created me for the express purpose of not acknowleging his existence.
Now why would be punish me for the "sin" he created me to sin?

Most of my people were wiped out by the Europeans, then scurvy and gout, and then finally by the Amish that took our land. I am afraid I am all that is left of my people.

Quran is a true book of God, eveyone accept because no one can write a book like that in the old age, even now, so why non-muslim do not embrass Islam?

The Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments. I am a Christian, and from my point of view I find that the Old Testament is only used in bits and pieces and not taken as a whole, mainly because it can be contradictory and/or impose unneccesary laws, such as not eating pork. Why do we still use it when it only seems to cause problems? I mean, I don't remember anything in the NT about having to obey the Old Testament. I know that we tout the Ten Commandments as being important, but I would like to know where Jesus says for us to obey them. The only times that I remember Jesus saying laws was Love God with all your heart, mind, and body and love your neighbor as yourself. In a way, this sums up the Ten Commandments. Anyone's thoughts on this would be appreciated because I think "throwing out" the OT would help us in many ways.

I'm so glad the Iranians are doing this. It exposes not only their hypocricy, but also their hatred towards Jews and their childish primitive mentality. They will be so baffled when people don't call for the death of the cartoonists or burn down embassies.

Who else thinks the world's reaction to the anti-Jewish cartoons will only make the terrorists and Jew haters look even stupider?

A friend of mine said over drinks that she wished she could "turn gay" and would do all she could to "get gay". I laughed and agreed if we were gay our lives would be so much simpler. Does anyone else think its possible to just become gay or is it something you are born as ?

A good friend, a married man, several years your senior, from your church. Then, he starts to tell you how lovely you are, sometimes quite suggestive in a low key way etc. Outwardly he's blustery, but really quite sensitive underneath. You know it's not right they way he talks to you, and the way it makes you feel, but what do you say? What if it's just talk? What if you really want to keep him as the good friend he is? Do I need to add more info? Help!

OK folks, let's play a little game! I'll ask a question and the first answer that I consider correct, clear and complete gets 10 points. Even if there's a better answer afterwards, the fastest one still gets the 10 points. But the answer HAS TO BE complete and clear. (Of course I already know the answer. XD)

OK, those are the basic rules. You can do your own pop quizes too, if you want, with more interesting questions... :P

Can anybody tell me what's the difference between Simple and Perfect verb forms? For example:

"I saw." / "I have seen."

"I was seen." / "I have been seen."

Can both forms be used as synonyms in any case, or are there any particularities which we have to pay attention to?

Be quick about it... ;)

My best friend is white (no pun intended) and I love her to death but I just want my son to marry a black woman. My husband and brother both say I am racist. Are they correct?

I'll be working at a live-in job soon, and one of my co-workers is an extremely preachy Christian. I need a polite way to let him know that religion is not up for discussion with me, I am happy in my own religion, have tried Christianity before, and am not interested.

I'm a bit nervous because I can't be offensive to him if he refuses to stop preaching (which is generally my normal approach if someone keeps going after my initial "I don't want that" response), it wouldn't look good at work, but it's a live-in job and I won't be able to get away from him either. So... I need a nice way to do it.

Christians, what could I say that would work the best to get left alone on this topic?
