I personally because of religion and my personal beliefs, i wouldn't have sex until i'm married and after age 30. Im 26 now .But in japan, many people don't have religion such as christianity, and there's alot of people, and there's alot of beautiful girls, etc. So is there alot of casual sex , premarital sex going on?

I asked two questions in an attempt to find a denomination that would be accepting of my partner and myself. People felt the need to call homosexual, and therefore myself, an abomination. While this turns me off to religion, and makes me realize how unlike Jesus christians are, I am unable to discern how homosexuality is the chosen abomination and how people know this is the route to hell.

If we are supposed to follow what the bible says, should we also have slaves? Should women be submissive to men? These are found in the new testament, but are not reallly followed. Any explanation why there is this selectivity?

Incase you are not aware anglos are white Europeans from countries north of France and west of Russia.
It cant be intelligence, Asians consistently out score anglos. It can’t be hard work, migrant workers have the hardest job around. Perhaps the anglos rich heritage, I don’t see how it can compare with that of the Egyptians, Mayans, Babylonians or Greeks. Hell it can’t even be penis size thanks to the brothers.
So anglos what is it?
Just FYI Caucasian refers to peoples from the region surrounding the Caucus Mountains in Russia and Asia.
Additionaly, white refers to all peoples from north of north Africa and west of India.

As I recall Lot wasn't exactly a good guy either, didn't he offer his virgin daughters to the crowd. This would tell us that the event wasn't sexual, and was about power, thereby making it an act of rape.

What connection does political affiliation have to religious affiliation? I have noticed that Republicans tend to use Liberal as a dirty word. I have noticed that Republicans tend to criticize liberals as being "unrealistic" about the magnitude of threats against America---Republicans don't think Liberals are AFRAID enough. Maybe this is the link???

I was asked this question by a young family member and I’m stumped. I don’t really care about it but she wants an answer. In the bible, after Cain is left to wander, he suddenly has a wife. Where did she come from?

A while back, I heard a story that someone tried to cast an "evil spell" on my father. The story is that the daughter of a witch fell in love with my father, but my father did not want anything to do with her specially since he was already to be married to my mother. Needless to say the girl's mother got angry at my father who did not know she was a witch at the time.

One day this old man from town told my father that the mother was trying to get back at him for refusing her daughter by trying to cast a spell on him. However the old man said but my father did not have to worry because there was "something" that protected my father. The old man refused to say what it was because he would not be able to handle it and it would just scare him.

Is this possible? Is there a certain "something" that protects certain people from spells and encantations?

I know that this story is true for reasons that I would love to state but I can't because I would have to write a book.

then aren't we all products of incest? And isn't incest against the Bible? You can't have sex with a brother or sister, according to the Bible. How can this be explained?

You can't say that Adam and Eve weren't the first two people on Earth, yet still believe in the accuracy of Adam and Eve.

Either the Bible is 100% true or it's 100% false.

than say, actual real life? WE have to have it you know (an escape pod)... to get away from this thing called life every so often.

so, is the imaginary world as (if not more) important as the real world?

This is so messed up and should be stopped. People spy and investigate rather than ask questions and be informed by the person.

several yrs ago i was with a friend at the mall & she was going to get her hair cut, there were two guys taking the names & info one was a really tall guy, he was wearing a guys shirt, jeans & even had stubble but had long finger nails and tweezed eyebrows well when he gave us the appt. time we said thank you sir (we were raised in the south) & thats when he seemed to get really angry. we didn't mean to offend him just being respectful. things went from bad to worse, i had just leaned over to my friend & pointed to how he was holding the other persons hair out to cut it when he glanced over at us, i guess he thought we were talking bad about him, i tried being nice several times but he seemed really angry & abrupt with us. my friend got her haircut, we paid, tipped & left...the strange thing is i began to run into this guy all the time afterwards, 3 different malls 4 different times...each time i smiled said hello and tried to be nice to him but he was even angrier(see the rest below)

What is a prayer?

If you 're praying what do you really say to God?

to forgive you from your sins?

You thank Him for everything you have?

Sending love and health to the world?

Or just silence and "Our father in heaven......."?

I received an e-mail about this and I find it hard to believe. If it is true than all I can say is censorship is wrong. I would tell the religious fanatics who complain about the sex and violence on TV the exact same thing I want to say to the atheists. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING ON TV THAN DO NOT WATCH IT. You have many other channels to watch and guess what, an on and off button. How dare anyone tell me what I can watch and what is not appropriate!

growing up, I always found religious icons strangely erotic. then when my girlfriend said she wanted to hear what fantasies I had, I told her. she's a catholic girl and broke up with me... should I just forget about her, or what?
