If scientists were able to extract sufficient intact DNA from the remains of an early ancestor of man (such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus — or even Neanderthals) for the purpose of cloning the primitive human-like creature for scientific study, on what basis would you approve or disapprove?

For example, would cloning an ancient man be the same as cloning an animal, in your opinion, or would it be more like cloning a human?

And no, I don't mean gigalos (kept men), I know what they are. These jugaloes are supposedly some sort of gang, possibly with Satanic overtones? Anybody have any info? This is needed for a court case. Thanks for any help.

Lucifer means "light bringer/ morning star" which is also the name Jesus refers to as himself in Rev 22:16 ...

"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."

according to her family. I asked a question earlier about a woman being beaten and not being allowed to divorce her husband in the christian faith. My question this time is....

What if the husband leaves the woman. My Grandmas Husband left her for another woman, leaving her with three children in the 1950's or so. She met and remarried many years later. Her family says shes going to hell because she remarried, even though it was the asshole husband who left her in the lurch.

Christians, what say you??

I hear this term constantly with teenagers. It is really hard to keep up with them changing the meanings of words.
Thank you for any information.

Apart from the recurring dreams. I am a 100% heterosexual male! But I've had this obsession on wanting to feel what it would be like to become a girl for a while! What does that mean? And I've never liked other men.

People say that God isn't real because we can't see him, but we can't see the wind either and no one disputes it's real, think about it we see the effects of the wind not the wind itself, just like we can see the effects of God. I don't mean to offend anyone by this it's just so many people seem so pasionate that there isn't a God, but if I thought there wasn't a God I just wouldn't care. Why are people so passionately against at the thought that there is a God?

Does that make it easier to insult one another??

Do you behave in the same manner to the people you meet in person as you do to those you meet on the internet?

Does the absence of a "face" to go with the name make us less human???


For those who were offended by my "faceless" term in my last post, my apologies. This was where I was leading. I meant no offense.

Elaborate, if you will.

Im curious how many of the beleivers here feel about abortion, and about the death penalty.
GW Bush, leader of the free world, was the one Govenor of Texas who presided over more death row inmate executions than any other Govenor in the state's history. Yet, he wants to outlaw abortion....
Does your faith not teach that all life is precious?? Why is it that death row inmates lives are worth less than that of an unborn fetus?? Granted, these people have commited horrible acts - but who are we to judge them and send them to their "maker" so to speak? Can people not change? Killing them does not allow them that chance.
Im not speaking of abortion as birth control either - what about if a woman's life is in danger from child bearing? What if your daughter is raped by a lunatic with AIDS and gets impregnated?
Is that fetus still worth more than the life of your child, your wife, or a death row inmate??

then why do most (or all) Christian (fundimentalists) say that non-Christians are going to Hell because of their bad religion choice? A judgement, although irrelevant due to His dying, not based on "good works", but faith in Him (AKA Jesus) convicts every person to the afterlife ruled by Him?

("power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely").

Shorter/sweeter answers have a better chance of being read and therefore winning the judgement that I, as God of this question, will deliver upon thee.

There are a lot of people divorcing over the last few years. People are not taking marriage as seriously.

From what you see in the Religion and Spirituality section, would you say that different religious beliefs cause a bigger rift between people, or strengthen bonds between people with the same beliefs?

If you think both, which do you think is the bigger impact on R+S as a whole?

Y!A is just a small sample of the world.

Apply your same conclusion to the world. Thoughts?

That people come on the internet to pretend to be someone they're not. It does'nt make sense to me, 9 times out of 10 they're fake. Is their life so f*cking boring that they need to make up sh*t just to get friends? Really now if you have to make up a personality just to get friends then you need help, BADLY! PLEASE GO SEEK HELP FOR YOURSELF AND LEARN TO LIVE WITH WHO YOU REALLY ARE!
