Seems religious people are too willing to limit themselves in this mortal life for a leap of faith that they will exist in some capacity in the afterlife? Seems like youre telling God youre not satisfied with being human and you want to be like God. Any comments?

I have no problem with him being gay, I just think he'd be happier if out of the closet. He's never gone out with anyone. He's from a conservative background, although he seems fairly moderate on gay issues. I'm not even sure he realizes he's gay.

I need to send thank you notes to Christian people that helped us make our inaugural service a very special occasion. How should I word the individual notes? Ministers, praise dancers and worship singers that were not members of our church but donated their time and talent.

If a person is a staunch atheist and refuses to believe in Jesus and God, but is essentially a person with a heart of gold, could he go to Heaven?

(no I'm not talking about me, it's a hypothetical scenario)

But where did God come from? (If you believe He really exists, that is.) Do you ever wonder or have your own theory about it?

This is a serious question - doesn't the universe appear to be a large amount of apparently unconnected pieces, just like a joke without the punchline yet? Or a bunch of scattered jigsaw puzzle pieces that could actually form a picture? Is the punchline and the picture: God? Why was the joke told or the pieces scattered?

This question will mostly likely get deleted for the hotlink but it's worth losing the 10 points:

I'd think the above link was a joke if I didn't know it was real.

I have recently been questioning my faith in Christianity. I know that God dosen't give proof on demand, but I don't feel right right in my belief without it. I almost feel as if I have been faking my devotion 'cause that is what I am suppose to believe, and this dosn't seem right. I have been trying to learn a lot about Buddhism and it interests me, yet not exactly as a religion. If I don't feel right worshipping a Christian god, a Buddhist god won't work either. Anyway I ask this just to see if anyone else out there has gone through this and how they handled it. Please no preaching, that kind of turns me off any religion. Thanks for your help.

They'll deport you and sometimes execute you if you are caught with a Bible in Saudi Arabia, the HEADQUARTERS of Islam.

Why do Muslims lie and say they respect the Bible and then turn around and ban it?

I would think Simon remembered Jesus everyday of his life til he died. I'm sure he is also one of the most blessed of men in heaven for the situation he was in.

It would hurt me to help any man carry him instrument of death to the place he would die, especially if it was Jesus.

To look him in his eyes knowing what is about to happen to him would be hard, at the time and for then on.

The other day my husband and I were suppossed to meet his parents and his aunt for breakfast. Well, we overslept and only have a half hour to get ourselves and the baby ready to go. My hair is oily and looks really dirty if I don't wash it, so I jumped in the shower. We were on time but my hair was still really wet. Is it better to go with dirty hair or wet hair?

Every day, I work hard, study hard, and pray. But at the end of the day, even though I've accomplished a lot, I keep feeling like there's something else I need to do. Like there's something very important I need to accomplish before I can sleep peacefully. But I don't know what it is. HELP!

There are so many politically correct bs rules in this society, one is that short people can talk about tall people but not vice versa, then short people get mad when you don't want to be asked your height all the time, as if people really enjoy repetitive questions. Like the girl in school who broke her leg and everyone asked her a 100 times how she broke it, no one likes repitition. Then they try and say "don't worry it's okay, or there are other tall people" I wonder can I say, "oh don't worry your short behind is wanted by every major circus, it's ok" but if you say that people pity the short guy? how about telling someone with zits do they feel better if there are other zit faced people in the room? would that be acceptable? Don't they know tall people are average and they are just really short? Does anyone know any short jokes? I do!

Stereotyping Midget: Do you play basketball?
Tall one: Do you play miniature golf?

I've had "civilisation " defined as "material sufficiency, open dialogue and thought, and aesthetic appreciation of the world, expressed through the arts". With world, and art here being all inclusive. That suits my own prejudices, although I would add some other elements not including religion. But others might define it differently, from a different world view?

I am a 25 year old gay male and have never been in a relationship. My friends tell me that im attractive and would be "a good catch" and I try to beleive them but I just don't know. I've gone out to local gay bars but have no idea on how to approch someone because i have low self esteem. I've even tried the online thing but that dosn't seem to work either. Can anyone give me some serious advice on how to meet people or approch someone? I've heard to not expect to meet someone and they will just fall into your lap (so to speak) but frankly im sick of waiting. Any helpfull advice would be greatly appreciated.
