I am an australian woman and i have been to america. unlike australia usa seems to be a religious nation. could this be the reason why i saw so many americans dressed as buddhist monks, hindu priests, muslims and every kind of religion and sect on earth? Have americans actually converted to these different religions or is it just a passing fad?

For me, it is NOTHING. Just waking up everyday and doing the same routines and worshiping god for a better place here after.

There aren't many fat people in Japan. I know there are some, but it's not very common at all, are people teased and ridiculed more over there? Like the kids in school? What do Japanese think about other Japanese people that are fat?

I hate to ask this question for fear of all the religous out brust to fallow. My husband and I are trying to decide what religoun is right for us. We know Catholic anything, Christion anything and anything like them are not for us.

We thought Bhudism might be it, but we're not sure. We believe that believing is the most importen thing of all. To be open mind to all religuons even after we decide on one and that peace, hope and harimly are the key to happies.

Is Bhudism right for us? Where can I find a site to better find this out. Can anyone better explane Bhudism to us?

I ask because after I spoke with a bunch of bisexual women, & asked them about how they feel about dating with men vs women, many say things like:

"Women are more trustful"
"Women are more compassionate"
"Women are more understanding of feelings"
"Women are easier to date than men because women agree with you more."

& many lesbians don't trust bisexual women because they say they only want to play, have fun, have a thrill, but rarely want a real relationship.

From what I've learned so far, most, (NOT ALL) bisexual women, but most seem to be sexist and confused. I think this is why most lesbians try to avoid bisexual women, and why men only see them as complete sexual objects.

I also think this is why many GOOD bisexual women get a bad name, because of these ones that exist. Some stereotypes do exist and make noise in communities.

It seems these women should understand not all men are stupid, & not all women are superior, or just for fun sex play.

Your thoughts?

God created man or man created God?

Perhaps God is nothing but the imagination of human beings and their inclination towards worshipping virtues.

Otherwise we couldn't find such disparity in the teachings of the different religions of the world. How could Mohammad & Jesus, both be God.

How could Krishna & Rama both be God when they stand for entirely different sets of values and qualities.

Lets find out ?

In English when we make comments about something we often say "how" or "what" phrases like
What a cute baby!
or
How cute!

What kinds of things do German speakers say in these situations? (This is a grammar question more than a vocabulary question, but common vocabulary words are also welcome.)

In response to various other idiotic postings, I have purchased an American flag and a lighter. I'm now going to burn that mutha unless someone can give me a good reason not to.

First dumb answer and I'm lighting it up.

If you are a christian and used to be a protestant but converted to catholicism...why did you decide to do that? do you feel that what you did was right? Has your faith in God changed much?

Without citing scientific discoveries (you reject science as evidence), the bible or anything related to the bible, prove your claim that "God did it."

If you cannot, then you have no valid claim.

Promoting the "Wedge Strategy" does not advance your argument.

(below the video which is a comedy but nearly like moving drama)
comment: it is no longer kind of a comedy. it is splendid.

and,he criticize it for usage.i sent a mail to him as follows.

yes,i made it so roughly that i make mistakes in grammar.
now that you have complained about the words, i correct it.
the program is no longer a kind of comedy.it is splendid,i think.
if you couldnt comprehend my saying yet at all,if any my inappropriate descriptions,you should brush up your english and literacy.

to this,he said "your contension is obviously absurd for natives! and you should review your words."
so,there are some improper useges or expressions and you english speakers couldnt comprehend my mind at all?

I'm a new Muslima. Last year, I was invited to a dinner in Ramadan. I dressed up tidy and put some make-up on to be looking fine because I wanted to show some gratitude and respect for the host family.
But I started to find out that Muslim ladies don't dress up during Ramadan, while, they turn so gorgeous nicely in following holiday.
What I did was wrong? No cosmetic in Ramadan?
