Two examples as food for thought.

On the one hand we have WhyNotAskDon, who as a level 6, spends a considerable amount of time on Yahoo Answers in general and a high concentration of it in the Religion forum. He's a proponent of a Christian religion and has his own website promoting his unique religious beliefs.

On the other hand, we have Choose_Reality, who as a level 4 also spends a not inconsequential amount of time on these boards answering questions. He also spends a good amount of time in the Religion area, but as a staunch atheist, he has the exact opposite agenda as Don.

I guess the question that I'm really asking is, do you trust someone with an obvious opinion or standpoint (and seeming vested interest in maintaining that standpoint) to give you an objective answer?

Are answers that represent a personal agenda less meaningful?

Please do not attack either of these community members. They are merely given as examples (though I'd like them to respond).

I was just wondering? I've heard of men dressing like women, but I have never heard of the reverse.

My niece is coming in for a wedding in Sept. She lives in Arizona.
We would like to throw her a "gift card" baby shower because she could not possibly bring all the gifts from Chicago to Arizona. We thought it more practical to suggest gift cards so that she can buy everything she needs for her first baby when she gets home. She has no friends or family in Ariz, as she recently moved there.

Any ideas/suggestions for this situation? Or does this seem rude to "tell" inviteee what to bring?

Why do people think all ghetto's are bad. I have lived in suburban areas as well as the "ghetto". I actually liked the ghetto's better. When I was in the burbs everyone had fake hello's and only talked on occasion. People cared more about their lawns then their fellow neighbors. Gossip was in large supply and hospitality rarely came into the pictures.

I know...I know...the violence of the ghetto...well suburbs have drugs, gangs, and violence also...It's just better hidden which isnt necessarily a better thing. I think I would rather see the local drug dealers so I can know who NOT to associate or send my kids their to play. And actually I've never had a gang member, drug dealer, etc try and assault me or harm me in any way in the ghetto. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

In the "Ghetto" people are hanging out talking to everybody else. No one is excluded...even the neighborhood drug addict isn't ostricsized. hell, he's the guy that mows your lawn.

The Apostle Paul writes:
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

It seems to me that you’d have to be kind of stupid to want to worship a goddess. Paul wrote these things because women are less mentally capable than men. Their role is to have children and look after them. You are to be priest of your home. Are you a bunch of pansies? Why would you submit yourself to something less then you are?

In Christ,
Bob

When someone takes excess alcohol it affects their mind and body. Alcohol can drive a person into the evil world of insanity, violence, murder and hatred. We all read about crimes of passion and the killing of innocent life as a result of excess alcohol. This problem is known as being Blind Drunk.

When people are subjected to the brain-washing effects of excess religion it also affects their mind and body. Religion has a history of evil, insanity, murder and hatred. We all read about holy wars and the killing of innocent life as a result of excess religion. This problem is known as Blind Faith.

Notice the commonality of the two – Blind Drunk and Blind Faith, they both affect the commonsense and logic processing of the brain, and can turn otherwise decent people into savage insane murderers full of hatred.

Either way, when you are Blind Drunk or have Blind Faith you are Blind to the Truth, so why not say no to religion and learn how to be a decent human being again?

My Catholic mother and Catholic wife will bring my body to a Church, where over my dead body a priest will tell friends and family, "Sean was a loving devoted husband, who loved and served the Lord God, and he was terrificly smart, using all the gifts God gave him".

Will the truth of me die and dissappear? No more jim darwin on yahoo answers. No more me at my job.

Why can't we just say the truth at funerals? "Sean struggled to believe in God, he had many faults, he had hair on his bottom and smelled funny when he ate taco bell, he liked a lot of women, he couldn't concentrate all the time, and despite his agnosticism, he had a heart of Gold."

Why is every Eulogy essentially a pep ralley for goodness, and not the saying good bye to who the man or woman really was and tried to be, and failed every day to be who they wanted.

It's one of those flash mob things and everyone dressed up as zombies but the target in this pic just seems to make it so much funnier. I only put this in the religion section because of what he's wearing.

I'm not trying to offend anyone. I just think it's kind of funny.

In a restaurant with the family (3 kids, mom, and dad) (1 child in a wheelchair). A lady comes up to this child and hands him a $5 bill and says, "This is because you have a nice smile." What do you say or do?

One day you dropped a thumbtack on the floor, you search but can not find, months go by and one of your friends who happens to be a diabetic enters the hospital for a sore that won't heal . It becomes so infected, they had to remove her leg from knee down. Later you are told she stepped on a tack that was found in her foot that caused the infection What would you do, tell her you are the one who dropped the tack, or remain silent?
