Society & Culture - 17 September 2006

I keep condemned by straight people all the time for being gay.

I'm young, and there are gay people who actually condemn me for not like effeminate/queen type of guys.

AND the fact that I don't really fit in with the bear community because I'm so young.

It's so frustrating. How the hell do I deal with this?!

Why do millions of Muslims leave their homelands to live in other countries? If they wish to practice all the"ways of Allah" which includes many, many very unusual practices, why not just live in their own countries where it is considered every day normalcy?

PS, please do not answer with hatred...I am NO racist...never have been.

...and they get their ticket to heaven?

And how many times can they ignore scripture? Whenever it suits them?

And does this mean christians can murder, rape, commit genocide and it's ok as long as they ask for forgiveness after they're done?

Well i am a Christian and I have just recently come to the realization of how important this small country is. I realize that the Jewish people are blessed above all. I also believe that if you call yourself a Christian and u do not like Jewish people that is utterly one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. First of all the Bible which u follow was written by Jewish men. Jesus was Jewish. And Christianity could not exist without them.

I also believe that America trying to get the Jewish people to give up their land just to maintain peace is wrong. The jewish people have a Bible mandate to the Land!

Did u know in the Bible it says that anyone that persecutes one of his chosen people or holds something against them The Bible says it is like sticking your finger in God's eye. Yikes. I sure am not fond of poking God in the eye are u?

I thank God (literally) that i live in a Nation that supports Isreal. We will be blessed for this.

Christians and the like have been trained to believe that God is a man. That he made human's in his own image. So where did the idea come from for the female form? Women are not in his image and are percieved to be the weaker sex, but they are powerful enough to create life.
In theory, what if there is a Goddess? What if the lives of christians (and the like) have neglected and abandoned her for all these thousands of of years? Could this be a reason why so many people have claimed to have suffered in the name of religion? Because they praise and respect the father of all that is and not the mother?
There is a masculine and feminine to almost everything. Why not a Goddess?

I keep hearing from many of you guys over and over that there's all this proof showing that your god is real. None of you guys ever show me the proof when I ask for it, so I went and asked a couple of scientists at my university. They both said that there wasn't any proof nor evidence to support your claims. I then asked them about the evidence/proof supporting evolution and they gave me tons of it.

Why do you guys continue to lie to me?

I think it makes good sense but I guess Jews and Muslims in the middle east disagree.

No, I'm not asking who influenced or changed the world the most, although those may also apply to this individual, but who did the most for mankind's benefit. Please give some detail as to how they did this, not just a name. Thanks.

Have you seen this video about the pope's recent muslim mess:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6b_vVNP4nM

The question it asks, which seems valid, is, "Has the pope ever read the Bible?" How can the pope say that "Violence is contrary to God' nature" when the Bible is full of violence?

Stories in the Bible, like Adam and Eve, Noah and his Ark, do you believe they really happened ( you know Eve talking to a snake and Noah building a boat big enough for every species on earth) or you do you think most of it is symbolic?
The reason I'm asking is that when I ask a question about the Bible on Y!A at certain hours, when especially non-American christians ( British, Aussies) are on, they believe that those stories are symbolic, meant to teach us something about ourselves through tales....
