I am a liberal christian, I believe in a God, and such. But I do have different beliefes than those of conservatives. I believe that the Bible was meant to be evolve throught the ages. Only in the old Testament were God's laws very strict, and in the New Testament, things totally changed. A new covenant was created and a new system of believe came. Do the Old Testaments's laws/believes still apply to those of the New Testament? And if not, isn't this a clear sign of an "evolution" in belives? EG: Homosexuality is talked in the Old, but in the New, it isn't.

...Celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Its offensive and angers me that ppl who arent Irish celebrate St. Patrick's Day. First off, St. Patty's Day isnt about going out and getting drunk. I hate it when girls where "kiss me, Im Irish!" shirts and what not, when they arent Irish and dont have an ounce of Irish in them. So, why do non-irish ppl celebrate it? Personally, I think they do it as another excuse to drink.

The more of a chance they won't believe in the super-natural now... with that said i want you to understand what thats saying... and it really has been PROVEN now how can all the believers in the super-natural call the non-believers wrong when its proven that the more intelligent "most of the time" don't believe..?!? im not sayin that believers can't be intelligent at all!!!! im just sayin the non-believers are proven with a higher IQ an mental state of mind.

When I'm writing Chinese, I can't insert "ü" in the pinyin. If I insert it as a symbol it doesn't count as pinyin.
For ex: I want to write 女 (nü3), I type "n" and then when I try inserting the "ü" the "n" disappears. Currently I type the 女 in Japanese but this won't work for ever because I don't know much Japanese and I'm studying Chinese in college now.
When I'm typing Chinese it says " Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 "
So what can I do?

Why do we say this why is it better to have loved and lost and why must the ones we love we lose. Life semms to be an unfair circle on torment but yet we still find time and affection for those we love

We all know that it is the females that give birth and bring new life into the world. Why is it then that in the book of genesis we are taught that it was Adam that gave Eve life?

I mean, do you wish for burial, or cremation, or do you want to be pickled and put in a display case for all your followers to leer at, Put up on a rack in skins like some indians, I kind of like the idea of a big mush pool, like in waterworld. at least there would be some use for the nutrients. I would like my bones made into windchimes, (really!) but i dont know who would do that for me. What I am getting to, I guess. Is, We dont need our dead bodies anymore after we die, why clutter up the landscape with them, why not put them to some use, like a forensics school, or maybe that body farm? Or a fertilizer pit. they will just end up tearing up all the cemeteries, anyway, when they need to build a new housing project. Do you think there is some spiritual aspect to being buried?

And with my question I mean things such as conversations, people's thoughts and ideas, etc. I don't like to but it just happens. I also size people which again I can't help
I find that people don't get me. They just don't understand my thought process.
When people find out my I.Q. they dont want to talk to me. They seem to think that we cant talk about anything.
my I.Q. is 162 and I can honestly say that I hate it. It seems to me that it just brings isolation from the rest. The one thing I have is unhappiness and my school. anyone else have the same problems?

Like in Schools? I think they should stay about 500 metres away at all times. We should build gay detectors by tagging gays so if one approaches the school the kids will be warned.

Makes me curious. I've always wondered why you think god is so awesome that every moment of your eternal existence you'd love to be a slave to his, worshipping him without end? What kind of existence is that? I want flavor in my life and if I have to go to hell and burn in eternal hell fire when I'm cast into the "lake of fire", so be it. This is the choice I've made, enlighten us to how you've come to your decision.

Even through all the chaos religion and stubborn mankind initiate, there must be a reason why we're all different...in order to learn our differences from one another and accept those differences as we grow closer together while becoming wiser with our actions. Therefore, religion has been created only to make us distinct from one another and more special as individuals. Religion is maybe a good base for some, but it doesn't mean it should come to the level of excluding others. I truly think the creator is in charge and therefore I remain optimistic that as we advance with intellect, we will advance with open-mindedness towards each other. The crisis we face nowadays is the only way a lesson will be learned about working together rather than all this religious finger pointing.

In a way, I would hope that when I die, I am reborn as a new person (with no memory of the last life) because, I like being a person and living (lol) and enjoying life. I know that sounds silly but I do. I couldn't imagine "being" something else after I died. Like a spirit or whatever.
Is it wrong for me to think that? And what do you think about it?
Oh and, as much as I love verse's from the bible, please just give me an honest opinion.

I think Muslim nations allow males to have up to four wives. How many wives does the average Muslim male have? Somebody told me its usually one. I was also wondering if they keep birth records. Anybody know? Are all their marriages arranged?
