I'm a 17 years old male and 5ft tall. My doctor said I stopped growing( I come from a short family). I'm just wondering in the real world, does your confidence, good attitude matter more or does your height and looks matter more. Should I worry too much about my height right now or is it just something minor.
It just sux, constantly, everywhere I go, height and looks matter more, not personality, as most people say. And being a 5ft male I hate it. I try to make the best and but its all depressing. No one girl will ever date me, getting a job(according to studies) taller man gets everything. Just want to know is being 5ft tall the worst thing in the world, it seems to me. I feel like that I'm not looking forward to life thats ahead of me.

Christian fundamentalists insist that everything in the Universe demonstrates "intelligent design" by an all-powerful being called "God". But there are many oddities that an intelligent human designer would not have incorporated. So how do the Christian fundamentalists get round these objections?

Since they like it up the bum anyways, why not have them probed instead of straight people?

Spanish speaking people that live here need to learn English, instead of relying on other people to translate for them. What are your thoughts?

who hate muslims? Just because someone is a certain religion, I don't see how every single person can be perceived as evil. I actually have a very good friend who is muslim and I am acquainted with a few others. As followers of God, why judge and hate. It's very hard for me as I am a christian as well as a republican. Part of the reason I'm republican is due to the fact that we're pro life and we care about family values. So how can a christian say that they "hate" muslims. Don't you fellow christians believe that we should not judge?

All of my friends, that I have known for a little over a year, are Christians too and they say it is wrong to be attracted to your own gender.

One of them even says he used be attracted to guys, but was able to change, but I have tried to stop being attracted to guys since a month before my sixteenth birthday (I am almost seventeen now), but I cannot seem to! Is that because I am a bad Christian?

Many people judge the belief of whether there really is a God. They think that Christianity is a false, yet alone, religion. They point out people and call them sinners and what not. I've witnessed this many times. Aren't there bad apples with good ones, when picking?

I just really wanted to bug those who are always saying something about God really. I see that people have a real fondness of hating Him and always going against His words. They're always putting a challenge to him. So, I wanted to throw one at them, see how they react, answer, whatever you want to say. Let me know.

Oh yeah, you guys always ask, "Why should I believe in God," and say other things like, "wheres my proof that He exists?" Why SHOULDN'T I believe in Him? If you can give me that answer, may be I'll believe you.

Seeing is believing but, in order to see, you must believe.

Religiously are we deforming GOD'S creation or is it something acceptable.

Hi! I have several freinds who have done interfaith marriages, however I am not sure if this is something very common or is it because we are in NYC the melting pot. I was wondering what is the case across the US? and How do you raise a child with two faith? It must me a monumental task to get this done and I know this because one of my friends is coping with looking for a sunday school and Hebrew school at the same time. (As for me I am Muslim and I am married to a muslim so that is not a problem, there is plenty of inter marriage history on my family tree, but not interfaith). But I am sure many people have done this sucessfully: (Hindus,Christian,Jews, Wiccans, Muslims, etc)

If I'm told many different stories about the same event, I'm not likely to beleive any of them. And since pretty much all religions have their own views on creationism, moral conduct the afterlife etc., how can you say that any one is true? Seems to me that it all depends on what cultural lens you view it through and that there is no singular truth.

And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites(Jews), which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I know that after my death **YE WILL BECOME UTTERLY CORRUPT**, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through **THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS**. (Deuteronomy 31:25-29)" Here the Jews' hands are predicted to cause so much corruption (including corruption in the Bible). Jeremiah 8:8 below which came approximately 826 later confirmed the Bible corruption.
"How can you say we (the Jews) are wise and the law of the Lord is with us, when in fact the **FALSE PEN OF THE SCRIBES** has made it into a lie? (Jeremiah 8:8 (Revised Standard Version))"

Jesus made water into wine. Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish. Jesus walked on water.

Jesus could have made it clear that we treat everybody as equals.( No sexism) He could have chastized people that had slaves. He could have cured any disease or germ by wiping off the face of the earth forever. He could have given us foresight on Stalin or Hitler.

What is your opinion?
