Smoking in particular. Do smokers have a right to use their recreational drug, nicotine, in public places where there are crowds of other people who do not have a choice but to breath the 'exhaust' fumes from this drug use? Where I work, a public building downtown, smokers must smoke outside the building. Hundreds of people work in the building, so at any given time, there are at least a dozen drug users in front of the building turning the air blue with tobacco smoke. Anyone entering the building is forced to share in this drug use or hold their breath while entering the building.

Should recreational drug users have a right to impose their habit on others?

... just like elves aid Santa Claus? Does this mean God is also an obese man with a long beard who likes cookies in exchange for presents ? When should I put up my Godmas tree ?

I posted a question in which a VERY drunk girl friend of mine agreed with her boyfriend to have a threesome with me, but it didn't happen because I am not interested in women, and was engaged at that time. Some responses I got led me to believe that when drunk (I don't drink) people just do things. For all the straight men...have you ever done anything sexually with a man just because you were drunk?

Budha left women and wordly peace and taught tolerance, non violence and peace

Jesus left the wordly pleasures and taught people that one who takes sword will be killed by sword, taught non violece and peace

Prophet Nabi liked women and War and asked followers to ,torture , and kill anyone who denied him and allah?(Need to suspect if he is a real prophet). Why cant the Allah protect to the widowers and unmarried islamic women that prophet married them?

Prophet showed violence and war as an example while Jesus and Budha showed peace and nonvioence. Who is the real messenger from God?
What was the message he got from God, to kill and Kill?

What is heaven and hell really like? I was told by my preacher that hell was bad and heaven was good...but then I was sleeping last night a transformer toy visited me and told me the truth. (This is not disputable, I have scientific proof!) He told me god used to be wise and all-knowing but then he dropped the milky way galaxy on his head when he was tryin to position it above him in a high place. He lived, but unfortunately god had some major brain injuries and his intelligence was reduced from 'the supreme' to 'a four year old child.' (which explains why everything is so f'ed up now) Satan, once an angel, was kidding around with him one day and called him 'buttface' not knowing of his injury. God immediately through a tantrum and, still having his supreme powers, tossed him down into hell and tranformed him into a transformer. That's when he came to me, told me the truth, and asked for my help with god's brain surgery. Should I help?...I feel so sorry for god.

He told me that religion corrupts the mind, and that life was what mattered. He's a hero so I want to believe him, but he didn't accept Jesus and my preacher says he's burning in hell with hitler.

how can you worship the son if you can not touch it or how about when is cloudy, or when you can't see the moon or how is it that you can breathe.(webster's dictionary translate, breathe= spirit.)
you can not see the air, yet you are alive.

May denizens of the Religion & Spirituality section would likely be offended by questions posted in the LBGT section of Yahoo! Answers. Those offended by these questions would more likely than not report them. Are we equally justified in reporting those questions in the Religion & Spirituality section that are offensive, harassing, and otherwise derogatory toward us? More so, aren't we justified in reporting questions in the LGBT section with the same intent?

Robertson ignited controversy Monday on his program, The 700 Club. That day, he noted that Chavez has said the United States wants to assassinate him. "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him," Robertson said, "I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war." He said the United States should "take him out."

hello. i have an extremely vast personality, a lot of problems, and i am very lonely. my religion has always been very important to me (i'm Christain), but i am horrified to be facing a crisis in which i don't know what to believe anymore. ever since i was very young i always believed very strongly in the permanence of marriage, and for the first time in my life my husband and i may be seperating. i have been severely depressed for many years and have not been responsive to treatment. it has gotten progressively worse. a couple months ago i attempted suicide. i always had a good life, but i was always so sad and unable to cope. my husband has always been the one i talked to. now my whole world is breaking. everything i am, and everything i know. and i can't live in a Godless world. i know this doesn't make much sense. i'd like to have someone to talk to, and i could take time to explain it a little better.

Consider: From a scientific standpoint, we are clearly designed to be running around and screwing whatever is fertile. If it didn't work out both biologically and/or socially, it would have long since been gotten rid of. Consider, especially, that men are hardwired to find youthful features attractive.

From a religious standpoint: If God (insert higher being who created man if not a monotheist) didn't want us to have sex with 14 year olds, then why can they have children (Go forth and multiply), seeing as how humans were designed to exacting specifications laid down by God (or gods, or whatever)?

They say God loves you unconditionally....but don't you have to be a Christian to recieve His love? Doesn't that qualify as conditional? You have to accept him in order for Him to love you? I'm just asking.....

So today here in yahoo answers a few hours ago someone asked the question, about the big bang, wouldn't the explosion kill all life?

So, is this a failure of the science education in America? Is this something the person learned in Sunday School?

Do Atheists or Agnostics ever say anything this extremely ridiculous, or is it just religious people?

Why do you think that is, that religious people just say things that are, obnoxious and illogical?

One God , One Allah- But Two different people fighting and killing each other. SHIA AND SUNNI.(Dont tell me its only a minority people. Its happening in massive scale in Muslim countries

One prophet, Muhammed Nabi : Two sects of followers Shia and Sunni : Fights , kills and bombs each other shrines. (Massive scale too)

One holy Quran: Different interpretations: Killlings based on Quran

Can any one explain please? Is quran word of God or words of someone liked war, so that those who follow him even fight and kill themselves?

People keep saying we've all the signs, and Jesus will be back
any day now. But Jesus Himself said that when we see what we're seeing now, it's only the "beginning of sorrows." Despite what many hope. Scripture makes it clear that many
good people will die before the RAPTURE.
Are you prepared psychologically, and spiritually?
