Disclaimer: I'm an Agnostic who won't convert unless I talk to God. When talking to people sometimes they try to convert me. Last night was a classic example, as I was told about how God gave the Leviticus dietary laws and played the role of the modern day health department. My reaction was, how fast can I get this person to go away. Intellectually, if I saw a bunch of people dieing from shrimp 4000 years ago, I'd probably write a law about how shrimp was bad. The difference between then and now is then I could say its the word of God, in modern times I would say "this product is banned because we've determined significant health risk". Shrimp is not banned anymore and is probably something we all eat if we enjoy, it never factors into our minds that its against Godlaw in Leviticus 11:9-12.
We do see warning labels on smoking. We read in magazines about the health risk of fast food. But these are based on scientific research.

So what factors contribute to a "conversion"?

One day you will be dead. Oh well. And once dead, that's it. Gone forever. Why do you need god? Does religion really answer so many needs? Is it so hard to face the fact of earthly suffering and human mortality?

I'm trying to understand, and please only serious answers. If the gay community wants the straight community to be more excepting, we need to know these things. So back to my question. I have read on YA many answers from Butch lesbians that they feel as though they where born in the wrong body. If they are in a romantic relationship with another woman, and decided to have a sex change, I would assume they would still prefer to be with a woman. Would their partner stay after the change? Would that then make the formerly lesbian partner straight?

In the short time I have been associated to this site , I have asked some interesting questions , some lame questions , some personal quesions , and some provocative questions .
A lot lt of sociology questions .
To my surprise , some of what I thought were better questions , received a fairly low response . As an experiment today I threw religion into the forum , and received a huge mixed response .
The people devoted to both sides of the fence , both devoted to Christianity , In a love hate relationship , swarmed to the bait .
Why is it in many cases , if you ask some one to think for themselves , they turn to a better question where they can boast their ignorance

In all the stories that have been on the TV and in the newspapers about Steve's death, his best friend Wes, has never been mentioned. Are they not friends anymore? The news reports mention Terri and their children and even Steve's dad, but nothing is ever said about Wes. They had been such close friends. I am deeply saddened by Steve's death. Such a terrible loss.

Yes, she did. You don't know your bible, you bible-ignoramus. Check for James the brother of Jesus. Check also one of the gospels :"Hey, Cheesuz, your moma and brothers & sisters are lookin' for yah."

Sure... just go to Pakistan. Muslim law states a woman must have 4 witnesses to being raped. If not, she will be found guilty of adultery and executed. Her choice is to stay home, or not report the rape.

How do you like this, ladies?

I mean: there are lots of believers AND non-believers who seem to always have the answer for any question about religion & spirituality - or even about everything.

How are they different from "fanatics"?
