Religious leaders have consistently come out against medical advances. Hundreds of years ago, they were against autopsies and medical use of cadavers for research. In the 1800’s Christians fought the use of anesthetics on the ground that suffering is God’s will and therefore must be endured. This was particularly true for a woman’s pain during childbirth, because they could quote the Bible to support their position. Currently, some religious groups prohibit life-saving blood transfusions. Children die every year because their parents withhold medical treatment, trusting in God instead. Many religious leaders are preventing access to birth control, disease prevention, and information about sexuality. They act as though they would prefer to see people dying of disease or starvation, rather than allow the population to have forbidden products and information. Recently some have come out against very promising areas of medicine, such as fetal cell research, stem cell research, and therapeutic cloning. They have also convinced our government that these areas of research should be prohibited or severely limited. This has real implications for reducing the possible medical treatments available for each of us and for tens of millions of people in the U.S. who have spinal cord injuries and diseases such as Parkinson's. Not all religions want this research limited; but many do, and they fail the medical test.

I have always been turned on by other guys' navels and mine as well. Innies especially, smooth or lightly fuzzy. Love to finger them, lick them, look at them, rub them. Love mine worked over a bit to. Most guys think it's very weird or boring. Most times they;ll just ignore mine or their own and move onto other stuff. Not that I don;t like other stuff, but bellybuttons drive me crazy. At the gym when guys do pullups and their shirts ride up, at the pool, at the park, shirtless at a nightclub. I always keep this feeling to myself so they don't think I'm a friek. What should I say or do? Should I just shut up about it? How can I find other guys into navels too?

Name your price, a ticket to paradise
I can’t stay here anymore,
and I’ve looked high and low
I’ve been from shore to shore to shore
If there’s a short cut, I’d have found it
But there is no easy way around it….

Light of the world shine on me –love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free –love is the answer

Who knows why, someday we all must die
There are homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It’s such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell, me is it worth just another try?

Light of the world shine on me –love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free –love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive or just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in the word for the answer

And when you feel afraid—love one another
When you’ve lost your way –love one another
And when you’re all alone—love one another
And when you’re far from home—love one another
And when you’re down and out—love one another
We've got to love one another

When you're risking impotency by using a notebook on your lap thus overheating up the testicles, or by spending too much time in a bike saddle... Does that constute murder of innocent sperm cells, who like a foetus are a form of human life... And for that reason warrant the death penalty?

I am a totally masculine guy, work out, have my life in control of what needs to be done. Am a control freik, but only like losing control if I hook up with a guy who could tie me up and work me over a bit. Is this weird, most guys think its wierd to request being tied up right off the bat. How can you get accross what you want done? Is it too demanding? Bad for a straight to bed first date?

I have been hearing lately that there has ben proof of gods existence and large proof of an afterlife. I am a christian and i believe in God, Jesus and heaven. But a part of me looks at life atheistically. If you have any proof of god/heaven existing please tell me (DO NOT say things like the bible because i already know that is a proof of gods existence)

An atheist was walking through the woods one day in Alaska admiring all that evolution had created.

"What majestic trees !

What a powerful river !

What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.



As he walked alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13 foot Kodiak bear beginning to charge toward him. He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was rapidly closing on him. Somehow he ran even faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest he tried to run even faster yet. But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up he saw the bear reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to deliver a killing blow.



"OH MY GOD !" he pleadingly screamed.

Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
Even the powerful river stopped flowing.

A brilliant light shone upon the man and a thunderous voice came from all around,
"YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS. YOU TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST. YOU EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER? "

Difficult as it was, the atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years and under these circumstances but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian? "



"VERY WELL" said the voice.

The light went out.
The river ran.
The sounds of the forest resumed.

The huge bear dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed and spoke............
"Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive."

That would be better since others wouldn't have the power to pass and enforce foolish laws that effect all of us such as no prayer in school, gay rights, and ban on corporal punishment. If I had it my way, I would bring whippings back into the justice system, and if anyone smart mouthed off to a cop, that person should be beaten with a night stick. We wouldn't see as many gangbangers, thugs, and pedophiles if corporal punishment were effective. Look how orderly Singapore is.
