Just for the heck of it, what do you think would happen if Christians were ordered to keep their noses out of other people's business?
Is there any scripture that might already reflect this, and, if so, what scripture is it and how often is it followed on average?

Mohamod has mentioned on many occasions about Torment in Grave.Muslims believe that after death ,accountability will start immediatly in grave,and those who are sinners will get horrible punishmnts for their wrong doing.First Quran tallk about The Day of Judgement(The Day of Reckoning ),then how come Mohamod talk something not even mentioned in Quran.So.Mohamod also get messages apart from Gabriel.He was never sure who is talking to him,God Satan or Inner Self.

Alway have to paste a bunch of scriptures for the answer everytime someone asks a question that they don't agree with? If you can't formulate your own opinion then you shouldn't be able to participate in the dialog.

People milk snakes for their venom to use in medicine to protect human life when someone is unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake.

Many human serpents (religious people) inject their venom by means of verbal saturation brain-washing into innocent gullible minds, especially young children, which can often lead to misery and premature death.

How can we use this religious venom to protect human life, the same way medicine uses snake venom to protect life?

It's amazing how our brains could create religions from scratch and then we pretended that they were real and we had to live by the rules of pretending. There must be a word to call that.

I don't believe in good and evil, things are just the way they are, but i think society decides what is wrong and what is right for the greater majority of the people. What do you think? Who created the concept of evil and why does it differ from culture to culture?

I had this friend that I wronged. We are both seeing someone but developed feelings for each other. We ended up messing around. Anyway, our bf's didn't know and just thought we were good friends. We talked everyday and were very close. We went out (all of us) to the bar. I knew I shouldn't go because I knew I would get jealous seeing him with his bf who is very controlling of him.
We got separated through the night and then started texting each other. He was asking where I was, and now I was drunk and being a jerk and said if he would break his leash he could come find us (me and my bf). Anyway, the drunker I got, the more pissed at him I got for not talking with me even though we all went out together. So, when me and my bf got ready to leave, I found my friend and told his bf everything and tried starting a fight.
I really screwed up and I sent an apology to him. Is it possible for us to ever be friends again? There is more to the story but this is the gist of it.

I have my thoughts, but what do you think?
Is freedom good for the dominate religion of a country (I am just saying Christianity for the US) or does it result in the tolerance of heresies and confusions that lead believers astray. Christians (and others, or course), do you think people should be allowed to legally follow whatever religion they wish?

Please explain why or why not--in 500 words or less please.

I'm originally from Senegal and moved to Chicago six years ago. Most of the students in my school are african american. The drop out rates are enormous and those that do stay seem to have a nonchalant attitude when it comes to education. A lot of them usually just sit in the back with their headphones on. I'm appalled of the total disregard of the free high school education that most people in the world would die to have (me used to be one of them). Asians, middle easterners, africans all emigrate here, usually with little money, and are successful because they value education and make something of themselves. The key to success anywhere is an education and 52% of AA drop out. I think people have negative connotations for african americans not because they're black but because how they approach education and life in general and seem to be more of a burden rather than being of any help to society. And no, I'm not a racist, I have darker skin than any you. What do you all think?

I've spent most of the day on Y!Answers and have seen a lot of folks call homosexuals "homos". When I was younger this was a derogatory term but people seem to be usuing it everywhere (not just here on Y!A) and not only in intentionally mean ways. Should I be offended or just get over it?

Ok, i'm married now, but this question comes from my single friends and from when I was single too? Why do straight women get upset when you hit on them at a gay club? I realize that they go there to keep from getting hit on by men, but they are in a gay club - do they really think "gay" is just fun boys who help pick out clothes? I can't tell that you are straight, gay-dar is really hard to tune when the room is full of us!

I want to know two things:
1 - What spiritual beliefs (atheist, Christian, Muslim, agnostic, etc) do you have
2 - What is your level of education

Me, I am a Christian with a BS in Chemistry, and one year's Master's work.

I am in the process of learning more about both religions. I have found alot of evidance that both contradicts the teachins of both religions and back them up! I have become a born agian christian and was raised a Cathlioc, but I am trying to keep an open mind about all religion and what it is that causes the divations among them. I have been talking with both a JW and a group of mormons, and will proceed to gather more information for my study!!!

i know many people who non-blacks who only befriend or date people part black because they believe the less black you are the nicer you are. What does color & races have to do with morality? My friend believes only dark-skinned black girls are haters and only biracial or lighter complexioned black guys are stable boyfriends, more devout, and more likely to go to college.
