Ok, I am hoping to get some honest answers our of you guys. Please approach this question with the utmost maturity.

Since I am posting this in the "Religious and Spirituality" section, I am looking more for faith based answers, but you may answer upon your own opinion if you have no faith. Thanks!

What is your stace/belief/opinion on pre-marital sex? Did you once believe one way and now that has changed? What changed it? Do you find it as a problem in society, or just a natural "evolution" of thoughts and lieniency?

But they ignor the biblical definition of hating God. To deny He exists is the same as hating Him. Whats so difficult to understand? I thought you atheists were so erudite about such things.

I know some people who are very serious about which way the toilet paper should be presented in the toilet paper holder. Me, I prefer over... It provides you with easy accesss. Under, it hugs the wall, and is harder to grab. How serious are you about how the toilet paper should be placed in the holder?

First of all, let me say, I AM NOT ABUSED. I keep hearing sermons about divorce. The preachers all talk about the fornication issue, but never mention abuse. So I've been wondering...I know the Bible says the only excuse for divorce is when one spouse cheats on the other. But what about domestic violence? I can't find anything stating whether or not it's ok to divorce if one spouse is physically abused by the other. It does say the husband should treat the wife as well as he treats himself, but it doesn't say anything about whether she can divorce him if he doesn't. Can anyone give me scripture about this subject?

In an early posting, I was given the best answer by Love Shepard - but with a note stating the following:

"Not at all the best answer, but most misses the point that Christianity is about having an ongoing relationship with Jesus now, rather than some distant threat or promise of a reward."

The initial question was whether or not I would be willing to come to Jesus if the threat of Hell was removed. I responded that, without the threat of Hell, the religion is unnecessary and moot. This response leads me to ask this question:

What exactly is the point of having a relationship with a guy who has been dead for 2000 years? Youve removed the concept of Hell from the equation - so salvation is no longer necesary. You state that the point of Christianity is this relationship, and not a threat or promise of a far off place.
Without this threat of eternal damnation, why should I be concerned having a relationship with Jesus?

If.. I'm 16 years old, and within the past 3 weeks I've moved into another school within the city. I have been sexually harassed in many ways; from remarks about my sexuality, to actually being groped and begged of sexual favors.
I quickly called my mother and spoke to a guidance counseler, and an administrator. My counseler merely reacted appauled by what I've told them. However, the administrator belittled everything I had let out.
I'm terribly mortified by this situation. I'm expected to write what you could call a sexual harassment claim, with names - pulling me and every kid who's bothered me, out of class to be confronted. Ive expressed my fear and concern to my parents, and they feel that since this has been an ongoing situation for the past 2 years, that they would prefer having me withdrawn for homeschooling/tutoring.
Which is the better of two evils; writing this sexual harassment statement and shaming myself,& more harassment, or waiting for something that wont come

What's the science behind the feeling of embarrassment? For what reason does someone still feel embarrassed about an action even when alone and after the fact? What's the evolutionary purpose of this feeling?

Were the miracles more "miracles" than what people do know that get their Sainthood?

who come here just to deride the beliefs of believers rather than learn what and why they believe?

OK, we don't believe in ANY gods. However, we can be just as moral and altruistic as those who believe. Just as some who believe can behave immorally and selfishly.

What most of us feel is that we all have a right to believe what we feel is right and not try to force our beliefs on others.

As a great man once said. " I disagree with your views, but I'll defend with my life your right to express them"

I think who created us from nothing will find it even easier to creat us again. Also, when brofit Muhammed told us about things that will happen (and happened) then he is correct about what will happen next.
He told us about so many things that happened and still to happen before the end of the world such as ; a fire that will happen in madinah (a city in Saudi Arabia) and a volcano errupted after 600 years after his death, and he promised one of his enimies (later becam one of his followers) that he will give him the juilary of persian king if he let the other enimies go back when he run away from Mecca with only one friend, and much more stories in the history of islam that proof that he is correct 100 % in his sayings.

I'm an atheist. If I want to learn about the evolution of the Platypus ( something I know nothing about ) I check what those who study that subject have to say, and tentatively accept it as true without demanding any other proof.

Religious people do the same. They consult books on the subject of God, or ask priests. We are no different in HOW we came to believe as we do , just in WHAT we believe.

We cannot morally force others to our viewpoint. I'll come in here and ask questions about things I want to more about from those who have studied. Let's stop using Yahoo as a soapbox to undermine one another.

Assyrians do, whenever something "bad" happens to an individual they blame it on the "eye" of one who is jealous. Assyrians are very superstitious and religious at the same time. :)
