There are times when I want to say, "I am gay!"
But then, I kinda hesitated on it. I once intentionally brought up a gay question, such as "how would you know you are straight if you have not experienced it with the same sex?" And I said I wanna experience it. But they thought I was only kidding (But I know most of them accept gay).
How do you come out to your friends?

I'd like to think that everyone has a price; whether it be $100,000, a house, car, or heaven. Everyone is willing to sell themselves for something, it's just depends on how much you think you're worth. My point is that it is okay to put a price on yourself, just don't be cheap. Does anyone agree with me? I'd love to know what you think.

I need a buddhist teacher or guru. A real buddhist teacher should have no problem teaching me one on one. I don't mind going to the teacher's house as long as it's in Truckee, Ca USA.

All memories historical facts and evidence of anything otherwise is merely placed there by god. I know I'm right, but I would like to see, can anyone prove me wrong?

Ok, let's look at this. I'm going to use christianity merely as an example.

Evolution : Begs to be proven wrong with scientific proof.
Christianity : Uses belief of faith to create it's own proof, does not accept scientific proof as proof.

Evolution : Not considered truth, merely the most plausable.
Christianity : Considered truth to those who hold faith.

Evolution : Doesn't prove any sense of an afterlife.
Christianity : Deals with afterlife.

Evolution : Doesn't offer any ideals or morals (MAIN RELIGIOUS QUALIFICATION)
Christianity : Sins and Salvation.

Evolution : Taught as a theory, and said not to be proven.
Christianity (in christian schools) : Taught as truth with no proof other than circular reasoning.

Am I missing something? I understand that faith is required, but why not outlaw history since faith that the written is true is required, which is proven not always to be correct.

I'm looking to experience this world after high school! I need to get away and i cannot find any information of what is out there... seems like the only way to leave this country after high school with limited funds is the military and that's not for me. I will do ANYTHING as long as it gets me out of here and POSSIBLY provides room and board...

for those of you who do not know what Pseudepigraphy is its

"Spurious writings, especially writings falsely attributed to biblical characters or times"

basically writings that claim someone else as the author.

My question is their someone here that views Pseudepigriful works such as Book of Enoch, Jubilees Second Epistle of Peter and others as actually written by the authors that are claimed inside. If yes please give your reason for doing so.

After my last question, someone told me that the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy.

QUESTION:

What can I do to foil his dastardly plans?

Also, why does the devil wear a red Leotard? I figured it was for freedom of movement...BUT could it also be something sexual...like showing off his "package"...you know....down THERE?

I was watching television earlier today and it happened to be about The Day of the Dead. I went online to see if they celebrated in Puerto Rico and one site said it is celebrated all throughout Latin America but another site didn't even have it listed as a holiday in Puerto Rico. I want to know if they celebrate the holiday in Puerto Rico or do they have any holidays similar to it. If they do celebrate it, do they make calaveras or anything like that. Another question, are tortillas eaten in Puerto Rico. I know tortillas can be made from maiz and I think they grow that in Puerto Rico and I also know that it was the indians who make tortillas and Puerto Rico have the tainos. Are there any types of tortillas made in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans, please answer (but anyone can answer if they have an answer).
