Is it your religious beliefs, the law, or just your core values.

A co-worker found out I was an athiest and asked me, "what keeps you from just going out and killing everybody, if you don't believe in god"

Do people just not care until someone is gone? Are they celebrating that that person has achieved a "promotion" to heaven as it were? Why not celebrate their life and accomplishments more during life instead of searching for things to praise them and celebrate once they've died?

If it passes, it wouldn't only ban same sex marriage, but domestic partnerships and civil unions as well. My question is what should my partner and I do? I'm thinking of maybe adopting him, would that be legal? He is 7 years younger than me.

Why does this "religion" deserve that such of privilege? To make the other religions lose their faith to this ONE religion?

PS: That means, there will be only ONE religion in this world... all united under its teaching and guidance!

God hast created me in His image.

I take comfort in that. In fact, just this morning as I glanced in the mirror, it struck me that God must be one handsome sumnabitch.

I have learnt over the years how to really forgive, but it took me a long time to get to this point, before i was so unforgiving to anyone who did me a wrong, but quickly realised that i would want someone to forgive me, so why cant i learn to forgive also.

Does anyone, completely forgive someone who has done them a wrong?... or do we still harbour resentment when we are wronged? who out there can honestly say that they have forgiven someone, people always say i forgive but i'll never forget...but to me this still is not forgiveness, because as long as you remember it drudges up bad feelings again, so who out there has really and truly forgiven someone, and give a brief account of what you forgave them for.

Why? What if it were me, Moses?

What made you answer this question instead of the one I posted earlier? Was it because I put Jesus in the title?

I've seen a few girls that have typical asian facial features, but instead of the normal straight, dark-brown/black hair, they have what appears to be naturally curly hair. Their hair is also jet-black - it doesn't get any blacker than this. Are these features unique to people from a particular country, or is it just a rare occurance among Asians in general, like red hair is among caucasians? .

I was out with friends last Friday and saw her working the corner. I handed her $5 and told her to buy some condoms. Should I have handled it differently?

I'm shy and introverted by nature, but I want to get to know people and not let them think I'm avoiding them because I'm some sort of a snot. Any suggestions would be nice.

Are you as tired of poorly educated people that call themselves "Christians"? I am. I come to this site time and again to find Christians poorly witnessing their faith by making these aweful statements that are basically saying, "Choose or die!"

They use the logic flaw of applying to your fear in hopes to scare the literal "hell" out of you.

Did Jesus or any of the writers of the books in the Bible use fear to save the unbeliever? NO!!!!

There is no, "Choose or die!" speech in any place of the Bible what-so-ever.

The only thing that this type of talk does is drive a wedge further between the believer and the unbeliever! I will bet a thousand bucks (not literal) that if the typical non-believer actaully knew what the faith was all about, their disgust for the faith would lessen dramatically!!!!

Unfortunetly, their disgust for those who hold on to this bad theology of, "Choose or die!" will increase greatly as well. :o(
