it was right away...i didn't ask because i don't want to be the jealous naggin girlfriend and i trust her. Well finally 10 minutes later she said "yeah that was my best friend" i was fine with that. well about 20 minutes later one of my friends sent me a text message asking me about going to a football game tomorrow and we texted back and forth for like 2 minutes. my girlfriend went crazy, saying "i guess texting is more important then talking to me, so i'll let you go and she hung up on me". oh yeah she also added she don't know why people are texting me so late. i was so mad ..it's like it's ok for her to get calls that late...but not me...i'm hurt because we were talking about getting engaged. what do ya'll think???

"Dictionary.com" is the number one search result of Google for dictionary. "Thesaurus.com" is the number one search result of Google for thesaurus. The former and the latter are owned by "Reference.com". Go to Thesaurus.com of Reference.com and search for "scare tactics". I am wondering if you are surprised...

Should sex be mainly for intimacy or just for fun? What about life time celibacy, is it worth it?

Tom Cruise may be a vile little man who sues people who try to throw a bit more light on his sexuality, and he may be a member of one of the most bizarre, corrupting and downright nasty cults imaginable... but is it right to say his baby looks like an alien? Or that she is wearing a wig? Poking fun at celebrities is one thing, but how is little Suri going to feel when she's older and reads all this stuff about herself. I think she will be devasted. Not a nice way to start off in life is it? What kind of society are we to laugh at a baby? Aren't we all being a bit too cruel in this instance? And who can blame her if she feels so hurt that eventually she decides to return to her own planet?

Ok, supposedly from what I gather, most Christians believe that young children and people who never had the opportunity to know God are spared from Hell when they die because they can't be punished for what they were never taught.

So, if that's the case, then why do Christians insist on spreading the word of God as missionaries/door to door/and such. Wouldn't we all go to Heaven if you had kept your own religion to yourself? Wouldn't an eternity in Heaven have been greater than knowing and trying to understand in this life?

It's common for atheists to say to believers:

"It's your belief that a god exists, so it's up to you to support it, not up to us to refute it"

...and:

"Belief in the existence of gods is one of an infinite number of beliefs that we can imagine, and just because we haven't disproved them, that doesn't mean we should believe any of them".

These are perfectly valid points, and perfectly good reasons to decline to believe religious people's unsupported beliefs (or any unsupported beliefs for that matter), but there are also good logical arguments that deities with specific attributes - e.g. intelligent creator gods and the tri-omni gods of the classical monotheistic religions - cannot possibly exist.

Can you give me any of those logical arguments?

For those who are expert in how the bible is translated into english. I had a NIV Bible. John 7:8-- You go to the feast. I am not YET going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come.

A comment below it said that the YET in the capital is not found in Some Early Manuscripts. It is added later. So why is it added later?
Is it the writer error or they do it according to the context and added it? Please expert only. Any webpage I can go to understand it?

I was taught taht to get to Heaven you had to do a few things:
1. Ask God into your life
2. Be born again ( baptised)

So what about all teh peopel before us taht NEVER knew of God, Jesues or anything else.

Cultures all over the world worshipped eveything from the Sun and Moon to gods on a mountain.

If they NEVER knew of anything else, are tehy all in hell? If tehy are nto and for some reason get "Grandfathered" into heaven, what is teh purpose of having them here in teh first place?

Muslim women are dressed from head to toe in that bag they call a dress. Yet Muslim men can wear anything they like. I find this very two faced. I'm all for equallity and if the women can't wear reasonable clothing I think the men should be made to wear a similar outfit as their wives. What do you think?
