why are gay guys so much cuter than straight guy? Every really cute guy i've ever met is either gay or a sex-addicted pervert. I have never seen an unattractive gay guy in my life.

I just want to put this out there.

I know I may not speak for all Atheists, but I've heard an argument over and over again-"What caused the big bang/what was there before the big bang" or something like that.

This is not an argument for god, or at least a good one. One of the things about Atheism is when something is unknown, we just don't go "God did it!". We don't know what happened before/caused the big bang, but just because we don't know doesn't mean god is the answer.

So if any theist is trying to make a point with "well you don't know everything about everything" we don't claim to! (if there is an atheist out there who does happen to claim that, then be all means point out to him/her that he/she doesn't!) We just don't think that god is the answer to everything we don't know and neither is your holy text. Remember way back when we god was the cause of rainbows? Now we know better.

Who knows, maybe eventually we'll have the answer for everything, maybe not.

You guys agree?

I think this pope's quite a revolutionary-for a xtian. earlier on he spoke on the contradiction between science and christianity and that xtians would have to believe by BLIND faith alone not by reasoning!! Then he question why god allowed the holocaust - "where was god when it happened". Now he questions the sanity of islam as a god religion. I believe no one should dispute his honesty-and i am not even a christian.

Many Christians believe that the Pope is the Antichrist, and by a simple search on google http://www.google.com/search?q=pope+antichrist&hl=en&lr= you will find that many have quoted biblical verses to prove that the Pope is the Antichrist.

So, is he trying to inflame the final war? He intentionally said that Islam brought evil to the world by quoting a 600 years old text by a Byzantinist Emperor. He also know that Muslims are sensitive and the issue of the cartoons is still quite fresh.

Honestly, I don't like the way Muslims deal with such matters. If they want to be violent, then they should better do that with their leaders who treat them like sheep. Christians dealt with DaVinci Code with tranquility with no destruction of property, while Muslims are good at kicking and screaming and burning flags.

Anyway, the question is, why do you think the Pople injected this irrelevant verse to his speech? And in his first speech he declared that Christians and Jews should be friends?

I've been saying some very un-Christian things on here. My teenage son recently came out to me as a gay, and I found Yahoo! Answers in the history on his computer. This is a question that I asked:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoOwojIWwv8blBSFRVkJWX3sy6IX?qid=20060915022936AAO6gwu

I also said some very negative things in the answers that I gave. After I read some of the comments that I got from fellow Christians with a level head, I realized the horible terrible mistake I had made. I felt that this site has somehow made my son gay, but I think that secretly I felt like I had made him gay. I was taking my anger out on this site and particularly the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender section.

I'm still confused about the whole gay thing, but I realized how stupid I was acting. I told my son that I would disown him if he continued to be gay, I didn't really mean it, but I thought saying it would make him straight. He told me he couldn't change who he was.
