Why do some people always answer questions in a negative way, when the asker has a serious question? Are these people really that miserable with themselves??

if perhaps all these apparitions of Mary may be demonic spirits telling people what they want to hear to lead them away from God?

Ok, let’s start at the beginning: My brother, sister, and I were raised by our paternal grandparents after being removed from our abusive and neglectful parents by DSS (aka CPS in other states). We had an old school upbringing, and had to work for everything, but we made it through and came out well adjusted. Our maternal grandparents were only there on holidays, even though they only lived a few towns away. Our Maternal Grandfather is a Deacon in Catholic Church and that side of the family has always been extremely religious. Anyone who does not follow the “perfect plan” of graduate high school-go to college or the military-get married-start having babies, get disowned. My older sister did follow this plan, married a nice Tall Irish Catholic Boy, and just gave birth to her first son. I, on the other hand, left college to take care of our ailing paternal grandparents (the ones who raised us), and then married a nice Short Protestant Italian Girl – who I love very much. I have been disowned by the Deacon & family, but my wife is lovingly welcomed into what I consider my immediate family and by the grandmother that raised us (Grampie passed away). Here is the problem: My grandfather did the Baptism on my sister’s son, but he stated that he would not do it if I “the lesbian” was the Godmother. She relented and named someone else, and he baptized the baby last Sunday. I did not go – the drive was long and I did want my wife and I to face the hatred of that side of the family at the end of it, I also wanted the day to be peaceful for the baby. My sister respects my decision and thanked me for sparing her son the family drama. My Brother and Grandmother completely understands and respects it as well. They all know that I will see my nephew on my own visiting time. However the Deacon & family have been blasting me through other family members (remember they won’t speak to me directly) and are making my life miserable “for missing such an important event and not being there for your sister”. I have not responded at all, trying to act mature about the situation. I just want the drama to stop; I want to go see my nephew and sister in peace. Did I do the right thing in this situation? How can I get the drama to stop? (and before anyone suggests it – I am NOT divorcing my Wife!)

Christians believe they are the ones going to heaven and judge others for everything in their beliefs and consider them non spiritual and hell bound!
Islam calls non-believers infidels and najis( unclean)?
How is any of this different from the caste system in hinduism which these religions always cite to bring down hinduism?

I know Islam considers Mecca a holy place. Why?
I have heard there is some sort of rock inside. Is that true?
You are supposed to face Mecca when you pray. Why?
and finally (and a bit more contriversal)
If Mecca is your holy place, why the fight over Jerusalem?

My Christian parents support a missionary who goes to Asia to convert people to Christianity. My Dad mentioned that the Buddhist people are not remotely interested in converting to Christianity. This was amusing to me because I am Buddhist.

What are your opinions on this type of missionary evangelizing? A violation of the local people's rights or a Godly mission?

Anyone can answer! Thanks!

He's seen as the church's most hated figure and has even become a household name for being "nasty" or for betraying someone...but surely if it hadn't been for Judas, Jesus would not have died, as was God's plan (?). So therefore, wasn't it Judas' pre-destined path to be deceitful and betray Judas? And in that case, was he really that bad, or just a necessary pawn?

Do you think Yahoo would actually do some thing about all these hatefull remarks people are making on this site, if we all spent 5 minutes a day reporting the abuse? It trashes up the place and defeats the purpose of the site. I've reported loads of people every time they make a comment, but still it continues.

So LGBT people, why are you not reporting non-stop?
