I plan to start a support group in my local area for lesbians living with mood disorders (bipolar, borderline, depression, anxiety & panic, etc.). Can't think of a good catchy name for it. I want it to convey the nature of the group, but not be in any way offensive. BTW, our area just so happens to be known locally as "the Triangle."

I was baptized in a Roman Catholic church but I've read that I'd still be Maronite because my father was.

I need more please

Because they use common sense, logic, evaluate and think before they come to a conclusion.

Because one of the smartest men in history (Albert Einstein) didn't believe in the religious God. That is the God in the Bible along with most other scientist and educated people in our world.

They don't just follow blindly any old stupid thing someone tells them.

They are able to prove their theories with actual evidence and not 'faith'.

They are guided by intelligent thinking and not wishful thinking.

They don't believe in a God that got scared when people built the tower of Babel because he was afraid they would break into his house.

They don't believe in talking asses.

They don't believe that God is talking to them when they hear voices.

They don't believe that drinking holy water and screaming Hail Mary can heal their physical ailments.

If something doesn't make sense, they don't defend it to the death.

Lastly, because they don't believe in God and the bible.

In the matter of whether or not God exists, are the Theists responsible for proving God's existance or are the Aetheists responsible for disproving God's existance? I'm not looking for which side is right. I'm simply trying to figure out who possesses the burden of proof.

I would prefer it if people were to explain their reasoning, but if you just want the 2 points, feel free to just give a one-word answer.

i started but it was really hard, my grampa who is now in heaven read the bible many times that was all he read and he would hitch hike teaching people about the word of god...you may have heard of him he was well known his nick name was "bible bill". he hitch hiked through canada. so how do you read it without feeling lost and unable to complete it?

Capitalism is centered around the profit motive and the freedom of the individual and the corporation to pursue that profit. Christianity focuses on the believers forsaking this world in favor of "laying up treasures in heaven." (Matthew 6:20)

I think that a big problem in judaism is that the different denominations have different standards for who is and isnt Jewish. I think that Orthodox Jews should ease thier stndards and the three major movements should come up with a mutual compromise. For example, a person who is rasied reform Jewish but has a Jewish father and not a jewish mother should be considered Jewish if he was truly rasied to be Jewish.

i was wondering cause if you have ever read the bible it says "do not judge" it is a sin, so why?
i am not a full blown christian and do not go to church but i do have belief and morals and i dont understand why someone would judge what people were brought up to believe, it just isnt right!

All of my friends are cool with me being gay. The only problem is that some of them have some opinions about how I "chose" to be gay and they suggest just talking to guys but sleeping with girls. I tried to explain the whole thing, but there's no changing their minds. Should I just stop talking to these friends?

I go to church every saturday(seventh day adventist) , I even participate in most of my church activities. The problem is that I am having a hard time believing the teachings of the bible, everytime my teacher lectures me, I find a way to contradict him.
Sometimes my teacher tells me that we came from adam and even then I tell him that it's not possible, there is a big difference between white and black, and then I mention the native americans and so on. Basically I go to church to argue.
I want to believe everything the bible says, but there is something inside me that makes me doubt most of the teachings.
please help me! I do believe in god, but my teacher tells me that it's not enough believing, but doing what god wants.
What do I do?

i grew up in the church so i can comment on this from both sides. when i became of age my parents let me make my own decision on my beliefs. the questions i have about religion are i think the bible was written to keep people in order years and years ago. their are just to many things that happened in the bible that just don't make sense. miracles don't happen.... i'm sorry they happened in the bible. people don't just have babies without sex, you cannot turn water into wine, do you actually think someone with magical powers parted the seas?, made cripple people walk. proof is in the pudding and things don't make sense to me. if you ask someone who believes they just say he is the almighty... people tell me that you just don't understand the power he has. heaven and hell....are you telling me that you will either float in the sky or burn in hell.. how do you know? show me proof! oh yeah the bible says it right?some guy talks to you in your head and answers you back and tells you stuff?

see, I've been going out, but not really seriously dating, this really hot guy and we ended up having sex last night after a few drinks. And it was great and everything, but he's really kinky and I've never had a partner who was into kink and stuff. I mean this guy wanted me to tie him up, but I couldn't find anything...
Any ideas?

Unlike native american from south america and central america which formed great empires, the native american from north america hasn't made any unified civilization.

What are the reasons for that difference ?

We never see an agnostic trying to convert anyone, the pattern seems to be that an agnostic is someone like me, a reverse snob who simply says why do you believe what you do and sorta just keeps going until the other person has "faith" and no evidence.

Not that this is snobbish, but its "reverse snobbish".

Its like Socrates, he went around Athens saying, "why do you think x, y, z," and just kept going till he proved them an foolish. Hence the Socratic method.

Socrates was poisoned. Think that has anything to do with it?

Do you want to poison jim_darwin? In the library?

How many times on average do you hear vapid, idiotic girls say the word like and supplement everthing they type with LOL or OMG. Are you one of those girls? Is this what you call "Just a habit?"
The reality is that this habit you posess is not by accident. You copy the lame things you hear your friends say and eventually it becomes your vocabulary staple.
So how many times on average do you say/hear people say these extremely lame things?

I am non-Jewish mother wonderig if today's Jewish cmmunities follow any of the old betrothal rituals as are mentioned in the Old Testament. Is there such a thing as a symbolic "bride price" or anything a non-Jewish male should know before he proposes?
