A few weeks ago I met a man I find very attractive, and he said he's interested in me. However, we haven't done anything because he's in a five year relationship. Yesterday he told me his partner was upset about how much time we're spending together, so he told his partner he had recruited me to form a sexual threesome with them. I don't know what to do: I don't find his partner attractive and I don't want a threesome, but I sure like him.

Seems rather unnecessarily cruel, doesn't it? You'd think an intelligent designer could have made things slightly less brutal...

Why do black people depend on white people so much. I mean since black people are equal. But i mean places like south africa, rhodesia, and social performance in the western world suggest outherwise. Now this is where we approach the blame game. In the real world that i live in i was taught that you can never blame anyone for any of your problems because somewhere along the magical line of transaction you made mental choices. mental choices are than manifested into physical actions. Talking is physical action for example.Now i was further taught, and this was by my white father, that youre choices affect the exchange. SO now on broad standing issues like racial assumptions blame at white men is destroyed when you look at the performance of blacks at that time. We never came up with the idea the chinese were racial targets, because they had cities and jobs. Black people had no wheel!!!, written language or a working language. That would give you a deep deep impression of ones psyche.

They get blasted with Bible or Quaran quotes???? If I was of that faith I wouldn't have asked that question. Just a thought guys, some of us don't believe that we need to have our souls saved.

The theory of evolution is more than logical and believable, we see the evidence all around us every day. Is it that creationists either don't try to understand the world around them, is it that they refuse to take on new iformation because that would confirm that what they believed previously was wrong and therefore other things they believe could be wrong(intelligent force guiding the universe e.t.c.), or is it that they are simply too dim to understand what is essentially a very simple process? I admit that the view of evolution put forward in the media is mostly over simplified and in many cases actually misleading, but in the west we have universities or at least public libraries. is self education and self improvement too high a cost in the quest for the truth and meaning (if any) of life?

As far as that goes, what is the purpose of the universe?

If God has no physical form, why would humans need a physical form?

To further elaborate this does not necessarily mean negative responses, but often I ask specific questions and get random or vague answers, so I figured if I asked an 'open' question I would get a specific answer........?

When you are at the grocery store, do you roam the aisles just so you can fart? I unsuspectingly walked into somebody's cloud today, and it isn't the first time this has happened. I was wondering just how many people do this?

Why hasn't Yahoo Answers added an Atheist section? What can we do to get our own section?
It's hard trying to communicate with other atheists on Y Answers. :-( WE NEED OUR OWN SECTION! Dammit, if the religious can have one, then we should be entitled to our own section too!
Oh, if you're religious, please skip this question and go on to next one please. ;-)

I know that nature and creation is cursed since Eve at the apple and brought sin & death into the perfect world God created for us, and now in order to get to heaven we have to accept Jesus as our Lord & Savior and believe he died on the cross for our sins. I've heard that God will restore the Earth once again to it's original purpose and structure. But what if I'm in heaven? Do I come back down to live on Earth? I don't get it? I thought we stay and live forever in Heaven? What would be the point to restore Earth if those who are saved are in heaven? Who is the Earth for? I've read in the bible that "the meek shall inherit the Earth" So.... the meek get it, even after they lived in Heaven? :/ I don't understand.

We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris. We urge school board members to preserve the integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge. We ask that science remain science and that religion remain religion, two very different, but complementary, forms of truth

How did you discover Paganism? It's not a widely popular religion, even though Christianity stole many icons from it. How did you come about it and decided to practice it? Are there any whole families that are strictly Pagan?
