Are you discribing yourself based upon what you do for a living?( I'm a doctor, a lawyer, etc.) or upon what your family status is ( a mother, sister, son) or you are what you love to do ( runner, a ball player, a dancer) Do you describe yourself by priority?

If god created the world, that means he created the universe too right? And if we follow that train of thought and put it in the context that the universe is always expanding, so that means right now god is somewhere out there creating a new portion of the universe. So if all the people who claim to believe in god stop working and start dedicating their lives to building a super-fast rocket ship, we might meet him one day. So, in effect, people who say they are holy or believe in god are hypocrates. And not only because of this scenario.

It has gotten so bad that I now notice that transvestites now come to work in full on garment and make-up (experienced it in a fast food drive through) Expressing yourself is something I'm in favor for but isn't there a time and place for that. It doesn't look very proffessional, you look like a clown.

Innocent and ignorant Nigerians who are looking for miracles or have a belief in after-life are falling victims everyday in large numbers. The Pastors are laughing their ways to the bank. I feel very fraustrated and helpless to counter their claims and enlighten my fellow countrymen. Can someone provide me links to some international bodies consisting of fellow Atheists or Secular Humanists organisations for supports and assistance in forms of propaganda materials to face the new challenges which I intend to launch to counter this unacceptable religious onslaught in my country through enlightenment campaign using the media of Prints, Radio and TV?

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.."
I am aq 30 year old male and I am always tempted by masturbation, lust and porn. For me at times it seems like an obsession and that there is no way out.
If God promises in the bible that He will provide a way out, what is the way? How come I can't seem to see light at the end of the tunnel?

As the question says, wouldn't we all go to hell? If you "committed" a sin, you would go to hell right? Everyone person has committed a sin once in their life, so wouldn't we all go to hell?

Matthew 11:15-19
15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. (KJV)

I've had several different responses to my actions to protect my copyright. Some apoligize (not always necessary) and add my name to the poem, which I think is the correct way to respond.

Some, however, attack me verbally, claiming they've got every right to post it as they like. Some respond like they are in panic, deleting the post or even all their posts. The worst are those who claimed they've written it themselves!!!

Is it so difficult to understand that, just like material property, my poem is my creative property? Or is it a internet-cultural belief, that everything online is public property?

(not sure if this is the right category for this question)

I'm aware that there have been studies about health differences between the north/ south etc, but I'm talking about attitudes of northerners/ southerners to each other mostly. I have a friend from Warrington and she is quite antagonistic/ say it like I see it even if it will hurt someone, but if anyone says anything unkind or does anything that might be deemed as offensive to her she always thinks it is because she is northern and that southerners are prejudiced to the north ( I'm from High Wycombe), she complains about the food down here and that southerners have bad attitudes, but I don't see it myself. What has been your experience?

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4. Who are these giants? Who are the sons of God (and don't say man, because man is differentiated from the 'sons of God')?
