Why do republicans/christians/homophobes like to compare gay love to the "love" between a grown man and a young child? Or the "love" between a person and an animal? They think that if they legalize gay marriage they would have to legalize these to? Why? they're nothing like gay love, because in a gay relationship both partners want to get married and love eachother. Petaphiles manipulate the children into loving them, and when the child grows up they're totally messed up. And with animals...well the animal has no idea what the hell is going on and since when can an animal sign a marriage contract? Come on people get smart and let my friends get married damnit!

would it upset you if your child chose one of these other faiths? Which would bother you the least? Which the most? Be honest.

Okay, I've heard a million Christians telling people that have sinned that if they accept Jesus their sins will be forgiven. Also, when Christians sin they always mention that Jesus died for their sins so they will still go to heaven. So a Christian can kill, steal, rape, and maim yet if they accept Jesus as their savior and beg for his forgiveness everytime they sin, they are not going to go to hell? What about Christians that commit fornication? Every night after they do it, if they beg Jesus for forgiveness and accept him as their savior, will they be forgiven each time? Don't you Christians lie because I've heard many of you assuring people that they wouldn't go to hell for committing these sins if they accept Jesus.

Yet me, an unbeliever no matter how many sins I don't commit will burn in hell fur sure just for my disbelief?

Muhammad lead twenty-six battles. Think about that.Twenty-six campaigns of bloody slaughter.

Muslims claim he was only human so isnt it possible that, whatever reason he had for each slaughter, that for at least 1 or 2 of the 26 slaughters, he was wrong and it wasnt a righteous slaughtering?

It must be that if Muhammad was human, and not a God, then some of the 26 slaughtering he lead were unjust, unless murder of unbelievers, in Islam, is always just and never wrong.

I don't think people should wear veils. This is a christian country, I abide by other countries rules when I visit.
To make a point: motorbikers have to remove their helmets in Post Offices why not women in veils?

Russians call their capital city Moskva. So do most non-Russians. Malagasy people call their capital Antananarivo. English is about the only language which changes this to Tananarive. Similarly Warsaw and Varsovie. Most languages only change place names which their speakers find difficult to pronounce, like German changing Oswieçim to Auschwitz, but we do it even when it isn't necessary. Why?

Does anyone here speak both English and Spanish fluently and can help me with some questions I have? I need to know how to say "my oldest brother is" and stuff like that. It needs to be someone that will check their mail often enough so that I don't have to wait too long. I know the basic thing to say, but I want to make sure my grammer is alright. Thanks, if anyone can help me.

This is another pre-manufactured question of our empty modern culture.

Please, act surprised, angry, or condescending in a typical cliche response to the pop-culture views reflected in this shallow and empty question that conforms to the statu quo of our clone, sheep-like society where individuality and critical thinking are shunned in the face of conformism, parrot-like preaching and lack of original attitudes.

Typical cliche answers would include:
1. Condescending and derogatory remarks about "my life or the lack of it" by media-drone teenyboopers that have yet to leave the parental nest.
2. Some expressions of confusion and dissarray from those that won't even bother to read this entirely or actually *think* and try to process what they've just read.
3. An attempt of cleverness by trying to disprove my thesis.
4. Some guy preaching about embracing Jesus.
5. The rare recognitions of wittyness and non-conformism that yet are conformist in their lack of conformism.

Have a nice day

who believe differently?

And if you are judging others, are you not also defying the part of your religion that states it is only God's place to judge?

I'm trying to understand how an religious person who stands in judgment of another is not also a living example of hypocrisy. Can you help me understand in your own words, please.

The correct pronounciation, to be prasice is Qur'aan [pronounce Qur (pronouncing the 'R')- aan (long vowel 'A')

I asked if God could exist as energy, rather than some unknown moving around in a different "dimension", and that energy is the essence of our souls and our intelligence and conscience. One person said that energy is not intelligent; energy travels in a straight line, unless acted upon by an outside influence. Well I submit to you that energy is not the thing that is traveling in that straight line. It is the object, the concrete object that travels in a straight line through energy.

We don't measure energy, we measure the difference of the results of energy being gathered in one place or another. E=mc^2 refers to the result of energy.

Where does the thought process, or the idea of "will" actually enter the neuron stream?

Why can't the overall energy of the universe, the energy that holds everything together, and infact IS everything, actually be connected as a collective intelligence that is the workings of God? Why can't our very souls be the different energy that God gave us?
