Flirt with them, tell them how cute they are, be such great friends with them, etc. Do they want to be like the girls, is it part of their nature, or is it just that the cute girls are an anomaly happening to draw that kind of attention?

Right now as you read this, there are ignorant, hateful Muslims teaching other ignorant Muslims how to put on a suicide belt. There are orthodox Jews telling other Jews how they must never leave their "holy land" no matter what the consequences are to other human beings. They assure their followers -- remember, they are not the chosen ones, we are. If we crush and oppress them, don't worry, God will excuse it, and even desires it, because He is on our side.

There are maniacal Christians who are praying for the end of time. Who are hoping that most of the world's population is wiped off the face of the Earth by their vengeful and murderous God. Whom they believe is, ironically, a loving God. Unless, of course, you make the fatal mistake of not kissing his *** and appeasing him, in which case he will slaughter you and condemn you to eternal torture.

What kind of sick people believe this?

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Dozens of children have fainted, apparently because of mass hysteria, after school authorities in Nepal killed a snake, considered as sacred by many Hindus, witnesses said on Thursday. At least 67 students, aged between nine and 16 years, have had fainting fits since Tuesday in the mainly Hindu country, they said. "Children suddenly scream, cry and faint," Rishikesh Baral, assistant headmaster of the school, told Reuters by phone. "Some recover after a couple of hours while others are yet to fully recover. We apologize for killing the snake." Authorities organized priests to perform religious rites on Thursday to exorcise the "evil spirit" of the snake killed by school officials last week. Doctors told school officials it was a case of hysteria caused by fear of divine retribution for the snake's death.

Hindus regard snakes as sacred and Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, is shown wearing a serpent as a garland.

Jesus in Matthew 5.17-20
I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them.” His task was not to replace the law by something else, but rather to combat the purely legalistic externalization of religion among the Jews by the addition of the spirit of religion. He laid emphasis on TEACHING and DOING when he said : “Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Those are the teachings of Christ himself; but what does Paul say?
"You are served from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness."
Galatians 5.4-5

Justification by faith or Works?

Why are there so many self-rightous narrow-minded Chrisitians that stand in judgement of others?

I have been raised as a Christian & I find this behavior appauling. It totally turns me off. Sometimes I want to distance myself from these type "Christians" that act like like this.

Am I alone?

Someone asked on the channel if god cared what time we got up and if it mattered if we were early or late risers. He answered that god created light to give life and we are children of light. And darkeness is satan or something like that. I'm kinda freaked out, his answer wasn't very clear and I didn't understand it. I've been working grave yard for years now. I am sinning because I am up ALL night and sleep ALL day? It has never occured to me that this could be a sin.

Are you ever kindly disposed towards people selling The Big Issue and do you then buy it to help them out - or perhaps you genuinely enjoy reading it? Should the publishers branch out a bit and have a "his" and "hers" edition and maybe one you could buy for children at certain times of year (eg school holidays)? Do you give money to beggers anyway or do you studiously try to avoid them? Do you think that being able to sell The Big Issue has helped to reduce the number of beggers who would otherwise be all over the place?

This comes out of dozens of gay I asked them for. Just one of them said he likes gay more. Every other one replied they like straight men instead.

I pointed out that a straight guy will not go with a gay, but they said they prefere to pretend his partner straight instead of thinking him gay.

Why else would they think that men and women could not divorce and remarry if their spouses were unfaithful? Why do they believe that man can achieve salvation through faith without works? Why else would they respect Henry VIII and Martin Luther?

Anyone else find they are constantly being startled as pedestrians by people who cycle past them whilst they are innocently and correctly walking along pavements. Are these cyclists too scared to use the roads? Isn't what they're doing often against the law? Has anyone ever been hit and injured by a cyclist when they are on footpaths or pavements? What can the cyclists tell us to attempt to justify this behaviour?

I have just been through it as a matter of interest...the guy is mad as hell, but mad in my kind of way...He openly admits to being condemned to hell by the Catholics as I was at a young age (I was jokingly told I was the worst catholic since Gengis Kahn what I was but 12 years old). We both took very different philosophical routes from there, but I suddenly feel an empathy there none the less!

It is easy to pillary someone in public with this website, once again I am as guilty as the next man...

but are you brave enough to go one-on-one in debate though?

I was not pregnant. It was a big nice party with all my family and friends and they all brought me gifts. I was standing in my dream thinking to myself 'Why do they think I am pregnant' and I looked down at my belly and it wasn't round or anything. Then I remember thinking 'I am going to have to take all these gifts back and tell them I'm not pregnant'. What does this dream mean?

PS- I am definitely not pregnant and there is no way I could be at this time.
