Specifically people who think we should teach religion in schools. If you teach a kid that one religion is right, you're telling him/her that every other religion is wrong. Anything putting any religion infront of other religions is wrong and illegal. This is religious oppression. You have religious schools for that. If however you say it would just be to help teach morals, then you are admitting its uselessness. Because you can teach a person morals completely seperate of any religion. This is a proven fact.

On civil unions for people of the same sex. If you think this is wrong based on religion then you have no place in this debate. You may debate whether or not there is established seperation of church and state, but there is no question about oppression of religion being forbidden in the 1st amendment. If you tell some one that they can't do something based on your beliefs you are saying your religious beliefs are more valid and important than theirs. This is never justified.

Ok, since when did all of this depression hit us?! Everyone seems to be all about the EMO kid thing, and skaters, and haters, and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, I have ABSOLUTELY nothinh against these people, but I just think they're doing this because it's so main stream. It gets me angry, what ever happened to the good ol' happy, dancing boogie time, cheerful days?! What is up with music....it's getting worse and worse (some of it anyway). What is up with people??? Cheer up! It's not cool to be depressed eh...

So you think that abortions are cruel, when all that happens is that a doctor gives a quick death to a possible life. Who knows, the possible life could have a chance of living a miserable life of poverty.

If you think abortion's so bad, how about you ban male masturbation first? Everytime someone does it, it kills MILLIONS of possible lives.

It's easy to say, "well yes, he can."

By definition, there can only be one ALL-powerful being.

English has several dialects and accents, I know, but I just love the way most brits speak it. I mean, they could say "can opener" or "phone book" and it would still be totally hot. I have that virginia-piedmont accent you see in old southern movies and most of my friends are from up north. I don't think they like it, but they do find it entertaining, lol! For me the most irritating accent is New york. Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx; all of it is like nails on a chalkboard.

Don't you know it says in the holy gospel of the FSM that:

A. Meatball: 9384: Thou shalt not eat other than noodle soup at thy dinner table.

B. Parmesan: 2432: When thy darkness thouth come thee shou'lt not eat other than thy Ramen noodle.

Seriously, Don't you all know you wont get to heaven if you do not follow the gospel? I know some of you may have doubts but you just need tht little leap of faith that has been put into your mind as a good thing so your government and other people can control you to believe this. It's not that difficult.

Why?

I ask this because when I apply the classic ethical test question to it: "If everybody did it...would it still be ok?" And it fails the test. (If everybody did it, the human race would die off pretty quickly.) So...is it ethical?

Last night my fiance & I were at a restaurant and we were seated at a table on the corner near stairs and were sitting opposite a family table on the upper level to us so that we were at eye level with 4 young girls sitting on the floor playing clapping games and one of them was coughing. I could barely hear any of our conversation and the thought of having to eat a meal in such an uncomfortable location was giving me anxiety. My fiance said to just ignore it and relax, but I couldn't. I asked the waitress if we could move to another table which was more accommodating and she said yes. We moved and I was happy, but my fiance said that I was overreacting, was too outspoken, that we shouldn't have moved and I should have just put up with it.

What are peoples feelings on this? Does the table you sit at while dining out make a difference to you? Was I overreacting??

I know Michael the Archangel has been called upon by many people to combat evil. It would be nice to hear of anyones experience of calling on this powerful Angel to help them.

God bless and peace to you all including the jokers and so forth that this question will attract!

I know there are some really nice non-religious people who don't believe in God, Religion, the Bible or whatever. Some of these people are also bright intelligent academics, but their commonsense and logic seems to fail them completely when questioned about why they don't believe. They seem to give up logic for mere mockery and insults.

"Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." (William Shakespeare)

When your candle has burned out, will your life have had some significance?

The Bible says:
Leviticus 18:22 " Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

How much more proof do you need it says it in the bible in black and white.
