ok i am a gay teen, and i'm not out or anything but just hearing what ppl say about gays. and i'm "out" online like to online friends, but that's all.

anyways, like last night at chili's i was talking to my ma, and she goes "oh isn't that girl bi" and i go "yeah, what does that have to do with anything" and then she makes some eww noise and i go "what" and she goes "that is soo nasty and it's accepted but it shouldn't be" and it just hurt because i am gay.

and today a muslim man told me "thank god for aids and for gays being killed" and going on to say "stone all gays" and it was just horrible.

and then in this section.. ppl are so predjudice.

and what is being done about it? NOTHING. they are banning gay marriage in states. hate crimes is on the rise. muslims are growing, and these ppl want to kill gays, and ugh.

how do i overcome this discrimination? i am on the verge of suicide and i'm sick of being hated for being gay.

I watched some boring American show called "Ghost Hunters", the most boring reality should out of the USA. and "Most Haunted" the stupidist reality show out of the UK. I wonder if they would investigate abortion clinics. If they go to a prison in Eastern America, where lots of death happened, why not an Abortion clinic?

Faith is a drug that should be outlawed. It is infinitely more dangerous than marijuana because while marijuana alters your perception for a few hours, faith alters it for life. If people believe that they are going to live after death, that will cause them to make drasticly different choices on earth. People live their lives based on their beliefs.

Why wear it so it'd only show your eyes? I mean wouldn't that entice a man even more? The way I see it is it creates more beauty and mystery and it's very intriguing, even though I'm straight, I think it makes you even more attractive. What do you think?

I know this answer has been asked before but here is the situation. My father-in -law and I have always been close. I have always believed in God and he hasn't. Recently I have decided to learn more about the Bible, God and Jesus and he seems very put off by it. He will not get into my car because I have "Jesus Fish" on it. Once we were very close and we could joke about anything. What is going on? It really bothers me that things are changing. Why do they have to change, is he avoiding me or am I acting different?

Employers actually question you about your so-called "failure" in not getting a degree at the age of 21 in Singapore!

Whether you ignored him or not and you begged him to give you another chance? Just a question because I'm curious how you'd answer that. I apologize if it's a stupid question.

Some people said they can actually hear him inside them, like talking to someone else.

take what is good and turn it to evil. For instance the Republican party united the country and freed the slaves 140 years ago but now it is clearly the party of evil and destruction.

Wouldn't it be good to have an international forum on a frequent basis where religious leaders from around the world get together to resolve their misunderstandings and ignorance of each others once and for all?

It must be a forum where everyone engage in peaceful understanding of one another by totally opening up without taking offence at any sort of bashing. It is peaceful understanding where everyone learn of each others' differences and why they are different. From this, everyone'll understand why others do wnat they do. And find out if what others believe and practise are more appropriate than what we ourselves believe and practise, leaving no room for blind conformity. And this forum shouldn't be a place to convert, but to resolve differences.

I suggest this because many times we got into superior-inferior mentality by proclaiming our religion as the best, the original, the highest, the truest, etc. We sound like we are already very familiar with the other religions as well as our own and have come to the conclusion that our own religion is still the best. When questioned, we usually don't even have the slightest correct idea of the teachings of other religions besides our own. And made vague statements based merely on light observation. Yet when persuaded to understand, we'll say "Why should I study about your religion?". I believe such continuing ignorance and blind arrogance are obstacles to religious harmony.

What do you think? By the way, I expect mature feedback.

Your religion invented the Hell-concept. At least that's how I see it. To me it's not a real thing, it's imaginary. You warn me for something imaginary. That truly sounds like wishful thinking to me.

I know that for you it is a real concept. But can you at least understand that to me it sounds like you almost wish it were true that people like me will burn forever?

Once science can attribute all of our cognitive functions to our brain (which it will), will Christians finally stop believing in the soul?

How can we have free will if "God" knows everything that we are going to do? If God made us and gave us free will, then he would have to be making something over which he had no control, our decisions. Therefore, God can not be all powerful as Christians say he is. Either we have free will and God is not all powerful, or we don't have free will and God makes some of us "sinners" and burns us in hell for fun.
