Im 25 and I have never been in a relationship before. I'm thinking more and more these days about trying to have more meaningful relations with dudes. All my friends have been in and out of relationship since their late teens and it just never happened for me. It's not that I never wanted to be in a relationship, but with my social life going through highs and lows, I hardly ever meet dudes who are interested in more than dating and sex. Should I be worried about my love life @ age 25?

If the Islamic people want the rest of the world to understand their religion and their beliefs, then why do they react to comments about their violent nature with violence? Isn't this just reenforcing the rest of the world's image of what they are so upset about? I really want to understand all of this. If someone with an Islamic background could explain this to me, I would appreciate it a great deal. Thanks.

I am a 33-year-old Hearing person. I am going to school to become a Social Worker and I am taking ASL as a foreign language.

I am thankfully having many of my misconceptions about Deaf Culture shattered and learning a whole lot more than just sign language.

I am appalled at the state of education for Deaf people, attitudes of Non-Deaf people, and many other things I am learning, which I never knew existed. I am personally ashamed that I never knew most of this existed.

If you are Deaf, what are your personal thoughts about Hearing people and their thoughts, attitudes, and misconceptions about Deaf Culture?

Entire Countries lose their cultural diversity and individuality and become exact replicas driven by material consciousness.

The Pope have already said that he is "deeply sorry" about his comments about Islam, and he really do not mean it. I believe that the Pope is deeply sincere with his apology. Muslims killed a NUN, burned churches, shoot & killed Christians sporadically because of this comments and no Christians retaliate against Muslims. But now, Muslims are vowing to wage WAR against all "cross worshippers". If all Christians can not take this anymore, and WAR is inevitable between Christians and Muslims, I would say that ALL Muslims are responsible because you did not do anything to prevent this kind of provocation. Muslims will not do anything unless they were the one who is being harm.

None of their community ever protest the killing of innocent civilians. They always come up with some stupid excuse as to why it is justified. I am not brainwashed and I don't think they will stop their tactics until every person on the face of the earth is Muslim.

Several times, the following question has been asked..."If renouncing your religion would save your child from execution, would you do it?"

Surprisingly, the vast number of respondants said they would NEVER renounce their religion, no matter the cost.

I find this apalling.

Here's the twist.

If you are an Atheist or Agnostic, and someone was threatening to murder your child unless you accept one of the 3 major religions, would you choose to follow God in order to save your child's life?

What religion would you choose, and why?

Religious people, you may answer the question in it's original form, if you'd like.

don't babies pretty much need care and cannot speak or understand much, let alone our silly beliefs and reason to fight and hate each other?

can't any person convert to a religion?

how is it we say kids are born a ***?

my family raised me evangelical, forced it down my throat, of course when I could legally leave, I did and I heretically chose my faith

Based on this question,

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aob2vHJ7XgQDS59F9SmUO37zy6IX?qid=20060918074246AAkOXBT

Do you think if CPT and Jim Darwin went away from yahoo answers, that the point of view we champion, wether you disagree or not, wether you think it eloquent and intelligent or not, would cease to be championed here at yahoo answers?

You don't think there'd be 100 little mini CPT's and mini Jim Darwin's who would take up our cause and ask questions?

All we are doing, is following better men then us who came before us, and picked up their flag, and waved it, and said heh check this out. And we are running up the hill, pushing that cart up the hill.

Just curious about God's views on oral sex, french kissing or even petting in the courtship before marriage. In order not to involve in pre-marital sex and unwanted pregnancy, how can the couple resist the temptation? Is Masturbation sin?

The ancient world waged wars for economic supremacy and ego trips. yet when all was said and done the pagans were just fine in allowing you to have your sun god while he had his water god.

With the inception of full scale monotheism, because it did fail under pharoah amonhotep, wars clashed throughout the better part of the last two centuries. Christians v pagans, muslims v pagans, Jews v pagans, mulisms v jews v christains. Is it the belief itself or the people behind it that make monotheism so violent. Perhaps a monotheistic theocracy's idea of one god gives way to eliteism. The romans thought they were better because they were. What makes the muslims who live like hell better then the rest of us. Most super pious christians live in poverty, what makes them better.
Because religon is cultural does this not say a lot about the people who worship in these traditions.
