if we can just sleep around, or have hook ups, move in with him/her, or be 'partners' for 10 years without being married.....are there any sensible reasons left to get married?

Or, do you think it's okay for your children to decide for themselves?

At first I thought why not have a movement for purity. But then I thought it might be a bit much, sort of like we need to have more humility about who we are. Still in this world we need to be more bold for Christ right ? So why not have a movement? Any how I eventually made up my mind but I still want to see what 'yall have to say about it.

I've write at least 3 good answers to questions. Most of them pretty funny and I still get one person that puts bad on everyone else but theirs. Its not fair.

I would like you to give me SOLID evidence that the Bible and God are not real. Not just a whim or a thought with no backing. i want actual PROOF. Think you are up to the challenge?

This is just a hypothetical question of course, so bear with me. What happens to a buddhist if the world as we knew it ceased to exist? A catastrophic event happens, such as a nuclear holocaust, or an asteroid crashing into earth. Now I confess my knowledge of Buddhism is miniscular at best, but one of the main beliefs in Buddhism is the belief in reincarnation, correct? So if there is no life form to reincarnate too, what happens to our "very subtle mind." Does it stay in the intermediate state? I live near a buddhist temple in San Francisco, and the question just came into my mind smoking outside while staring at the temple. Any thoughts?

there is no god. That they created humans thousands of years ago and can prove it. What would you say if you knew there was a committee set up in the world to intervene this communication and decide if the people of the world should hear this information?

He could just turn off the heat and light from the Sun, draw away our oxygen supply. He would bein the right ;and justly so.In order to achieve our goals, we don't care whom we injure and disregard, and GOD has been more abused or disregarded.

I was wondering about handfasting. It sounds like a beautiful ceremony. I was just wondering, is it a civil ceremony? I mean, if you do it, are you legally married in your state? Do you have to get someone who's state certified to perform it, and if so, what do they have to do to be officially recognized? Can anyone perform the ceremony, if it's only going to be symbolic and not legal?

I guess that's a bunch of questions. Sorry about that. =)
Thanks in advance for the info!

I am a Christian and I am tired of secular things, like news casts and religion section of the paper saying "the Catholic church says" and making it like all Christianity is based on that. I have nothing against Catholics, I just don't think all of Christianity should be based on one religious section.

If a baby is born to a Catholic mother, does that automatically make the baby Catholic as well?, even though the father is Muslim. I know that if a Muslim man marries a non-muslim woman, the children will be raised Muslim.
But I always wondered since the mother is Catholic, if the baby will be catholic as well.

Or Does it mean that no matter what the religion, God loved the world so much that Jesus death covers all people who are sincerely trying to be good people?

Ok some people of different cultures, I cannot understand their accent. Is that racist? I like certain guys from different cultures I guess because I can relate to them because people can't understand me when I talk. Is that racist? Just curious.

I mean like people of different cultures the actors on tv and movies I can understand them really well. Why is that?

To the person who wanted to know about hoping someone dies. Yes it's o.k My Father was 90 with Parkinsons and I hoped and prayed that the Lord would take him. He mercifully did. Life with the Lord is beautiful and dieing is a neccessity. It is the death of sin. Make sure your loved one has seen a priest or pastor and let them go and pray for them.

As an atheist, from generations of atheist philosophers, I think ethics (and much of what many call morals) are self-evident and ultimately universally self-enforcing when one thinks about it. From family to species and Earth and its systems, we are interdependant. Does religious doctrine convince us, really - or by allowing us to avoid thinking, and convincing ourselves, merely restrict our insight, act on scripts (often misunderstood) as we find convenient, and look always for external direction, making us potential puppets?

Do you know the history of the Maccabees, the persecution of the Jews under Antiochus IV Ephiphanes, and the revolt?

When you know that history, it seems quite obvious that that is what Daniel is about.

Yet many claim it is about the future.

How can you say this, unless you simply don't know the history?
