most religions are against it because the bible tells them it is wrong. some will say only a man and a woman can have and raise children, what about single dads who have custody of their child? are they not fit parents when the mother is not involved?

second, there are people who do not believe as you do. some would rather have a civil union. why do you feel the need to control what these people do? is it because your bible tells you to?

there is this thing called Aesthetics, it studies sensoy or emotional values, it is a judgement of sentiment or taste which makes us see the beauty in nature

have you ever walked along the riverside adn felt the wind brush pass your skin and watching the sunset rise with the person you love, which gets in touch with all of your senses

i want your sensory stories, can you tell me stories relating to aesthetics where you have felt heard or seen the beauty in the world that touched your senses??

thankyou

I just read an answer from a previous question and she quoted the following below. But I didn't read anywhere in there that being GAY is a sin. It doesn't lay with another man either. So what is the exact quote please. I would like to read it exactly. If it isn't there exactly, then it is up to interpretation - right?

If he is all knowing, why do you bother praying? He already knows what you want, right? Is he so insecure that he pouts or gets mad when you don't pray?

The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history.

Did you know that the “Palestinians” could have had their own country as far back as 1948 had they accepted the UN sponsored partition plan which gave Israel AND the Palestinians a countries of their own on land which Jews had lived on for thousands of years before Mohammed ever had a wet dream about virgins?

The Arabs rejected the UN offer and went to war with the infant Israeli nation. The Arabs lost and have been whining about it ever since.

Do you agree this is like a murderer who kills his parents and asks for special treatment since he is now an orphan?

This is a true incident.
When i was asleep, it was about 3 in the morning. I felt I was being manhandled by unseen spirits, I felt they where evil spirits. They where like making me crush up and I was not able to even gasp for breath. I was totally aware of what was happening, but i couldnt move my body not even my hand or my leg.
I tried my best to move my body and wake up from bed and my heart was throbbing at full speed.
Susddenly soem anonymous call came at 3 in the morning, and then the loud noise from the mobile phone was able to make the unknown and unseen spirits release my body. As sson as i lifted the call it was cut off. Next day I made a call to that number, the other person said that he happen to call a wrong number. May be that person doesnt want to reveal his identity. His voice on the phone sounded like an elder.
I felt something in the unseen plane had helped me by making the call at that night. Infact I never recieve a call at night, that too from an unknown.

You were raised in a racist area. Most people in your town have definate racist ideas but somehow you never developed such thinking. Explain how that happened for you?

Since my question below got knowed back a few pages and there seems to be a question about debates today

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqHkZEDeXkg90O2Mn0rKsEHsy6IX?qid=20060920083705AAWU4aA

There would be three teams:

Theists - This would be those who beleive in a god
Agnostics - Those who are not sure
Atheists - Those who "know" there is no god...

I put the word know in quotes to eliminate those atheists who use the phrase "I beleive that there is no god"..

Pick three members for each team (for a total of 9 participants), they have to be a semi-regular to regular poster in this section...

I asked this a couple weeks ago, I felt like reviving it again today.

Let's play a little game.

Think of someone that you know that has a different religious viewpoint than you.

Say something nice about them here.

If you don't know the person well enough to say something nice about them, then why do you know enough to say bad stuff about them?

Do you consider that your mother tongue is a very complicated language too? How so?

2006-09-20 05:00:31 · 20 answers · asked by Axel ∇ 5 in Languages

I am interested in web links that provide different theories on the
status of "god" in a distant future (say 5000+ years later) when
humans may have (will they?) achieved many of the abilities (like,
say, every imaginable comfort, super human abilities, practical
immortality) that we seek god's help in today's world.

Though I have categorized this under religion for lack of a better
category, I would prefer more of sites with objective
imagination/analysis as against those that espouse a certain religious
faith (however, not to exclude any extrapolation based on existing
religious faiths).

Thanks in advance.

...to Eat lunch in my car sometimes at work? I mean I usually bring my lunch anyway, So why not eat out there? You know, instead going to the cafeteria in the building? I'd rather be out there listening to the radio, and smoking a couple cigarettes, than in the cafeteria talking about work with my co-workers for an hour. Sometimes you just need to get away from your work, right?

a Co-worker said it weird and rude that I do that...what gives?
