This quote is from another question about gay marriage, one of the answers: "Only when that party of 2 can procreate, without outside influence. That is the intent of marriage."

So what if a heterosexual couple gets married but has fertility problems? What if they choose not to have children? What if they adopt instead? If adoption is OK for heterosexual couples, what about gay couples who adopt?

I read that wiccan's claim that their religion is ancient, but it is only 50 years old. What is your opinion or argument for/against this?

I recently asked a question addressed to "Jews" (as well as identical questions addressed to Christians and Muslims) and was accused by 2 people of making a "racial slur". Well, I apologise, but please tell me what you want to be called in future so I do not repeat the error.

that some of the vile bigot homophobes are denying their sexuality?

how can we know they are truly gay and yet not trying to understand the feeling inside?

Yes i know homophobes are gay too but not as vile as Olga or godhatesrumprangers or others.

to say that the reason they might be gay and yet bashing gays on the forum is because of that is kind of vague. unless you have good reasons.

My close friend joined this buddhist sect from Seattle WA sometime ago and ever since she joined she's been acting really weird. She would chant her master (Grand Master Sheng-Yen Lu)'s mantra WHENEVER there's any problems. The problem is IT NEVER WORKS! For example she's really into the stock market and just a couple days ago she had a stock that was dropping like mad and she just sits there chanting her master's mantra hoping it would come back up! I was so fed up with her weirdness I decided to do some research on my own about True Buddha School. What I found out was truly mindboggling. It turns out her master was accused of rape by his disciples. Please see this link and make your own judgements: http://www.shcstory.com/mystory.html Apparently Sheng-Yen Lu is from Taiwan and a self-proclaimed reincarnated LIVING BUDDHA! However no Rinpoche from any of the REAL tibetan tantric buddhist sects acknowledges him. Someone please help me talk some sense to my friend.

I have one and she acts slutty, passes out in clubs. Will go home with anyone. Whatever floats UR boat, but in the world we live in today, how dangerous. Should it be addresseed or will it end a friendhip. How do you tell someone something like that about themselves, or should you ever?

When the Plains Indians first saw a locomotive "run" thru the plains, they called it a IRON HORSE, why? Because they had no other word for it and they described it using their idiomology.
Elijah was taken up in a "Chariot of Fire" and Elisha witnessed it and cried out and then saw it no more, [2kings 2:11-12]. It was called a Chariot of Fire, what was it really?...Hmmm

I know Halloween is all in good fun, but some costumes can be offensive to others. I know that real wiccans are not like the Wicked Witch and do not ride around on brooms. That's why I wonder: Are wiccans offended by the stereotypical "witch" costume (black pointy hat, robes) or by the shows on TV like Disney's "Halloweentown", where characters attend "Witch University"?
