I am sincerely asking this because I don't understand - if Christianity teaches you that the only accepting Jesus and asking for his forgiveness matters AND if you are not judged on your actions or works or character - then why be good?

You don't get into heaven by feeding the hungry or sheltering the homeless, you don't get it by helping an old lady across the street, you don't get it by being a good parent and anything that you do wrong will be forgiven.

So why be moral?

In the religion that I was raised in you are judged by your actions and deeds and character which seems to make a lot more sense to me. It would also seem to be a better formula for a good world.

I would appreciate an intellectual answer, my friend has unexplainable things happen in her house, like something taking the blankets off her bed and folding them, the tv coming on loud in the night, hearing sounds, feeling a breeze while all the windows are closed. Is it possible some sort of spirits could do this ? She may live on top of an ancient burial ground. In a religious sense, could it be possible or not?

... my parents were once immigrants, but they made the effort in learning to speak English. But why people that have lived here for years, dont even try to learn the language??? Why do we spoil/ accomodate them. If a Latino/Hispanic where to migrate to China, Japan, or even Kuwait- they wouldn't bother to translate stuff in Spanish for them. I do understand people migrate to the U.S. for a better life. But I still dont understand how most of the Latino community, start to have a boat load of kids. And take advantage of the state (ex: Medicaid, Welfare). I'm not trying to sound racist. Does anyone understand where I'm coming from?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNxElZu03s0&mode=related&search=
So i have 3 Q's lol (I AM NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANY1)
1. why dont we have a straight pride month.
2. why dont we have straight pride parades like that?
3. why do gays act like that to 'celebrate' their month? by act i mean, why do they dress up in drag and dance and stuff like that?

you can BE gay but why do gays need to do that in october, i really am failing to see a point to the things in this video.
PLEASE DO NOT GET DEFENSIVE THIS IS JUST A QUESTION THANK YOU!!!!!!!

If gays pay taxes and contribute as much to society as anyone else, why shouldn't they too get the same legal advantages of a heterosexual couple?

I don't understand why so many Christians in the US are so obsessed with other people's sex life that they need to pass laws banning gay marriage. It's a friggin' legal contract for golly's sake! Keep the religious part in your church and don't allow gay weddings in your church if that's your religious belief.

More importantly, why can't you just let God make his own decision about it when everyone dies?

Lately I have been aware that I interrupt more often than I ever though I did in conversation. I am the baby in age in both offices that I work at, and I fear it makes me more immature than I am already. Does anyone have some tips for me to stop this annoying/selfish habit?

My girlfriend that I've been with for almost two years is half Japanese and half Caucasian. I really want to get a tattoo of a Japanese symbol such as love or something like that. Anyone have any ideas or links to a good website. It must be Japanese though since it would mean much more to me.
