Alright... so christians believe that god is .... well... the "thing" that created the Universe, loves them, watches them masturbate... has some grand plan that involves slaughtering millions in natural disasters and wars all for some unknown greater good...

... And they believe that Jesus is both the son of god and god himself (entirely drawing what he was physically made of into question)... and that somehow his being crucified for heresy was all part of the grand plan and means in some completely counterintuitive way that god will NOT slap you around in the afterlife for every time he has seen you masturbate... provided you assume the position and have a little chit-chat with him on a regular basis.

So.... what the sweet heck is the "Holy Ghost" all about?
Is it some counterpoint representing death opposed to Jesus representing life? Is it just Jesus haunting the mortal world and going "woooo" to christians? What is it, and why even bother having such a thing?

I was told that American's cannot fly the American flag in Mexico, so why are they allowed to fly their Mexican flag in the US.

I figured I would have better luck asking the people who actually live in the UK this question.
What the heck would people in the US know about it?
So, do you drink tea as much as we drink coffee?

Genesis chapter 3 verse 22

And the Lord, God said, Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good, and evil: and lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat , and live forever.
Now evertime I have asked no one has given me an answer, and even told me I had no right to question. Ok but who the hell is us?
And does this verse not imply that we as man are gods because we know the difference between good and evil. And does not only imply that god sent us away, because we would not be gods who live forever? This is the very concept that has confused me about the bible, the fact that their has always been a reference to us of god, which suggests there are many gods. So if that is the case would that not suggest also that their are many beliefs based on those gods? And if so, then which god is right?
Just wondering

...without abandoning religion and nationalism? It seems these are the two facets of culture most likely to trigger a doomsday scenario. Thoughts?

i may not be well informed about this topic. why are there so many group/orgs that try and stop it in places like africa? if they do it with males, why not females? i read that it may decrease the sexual appetite of women, but i dont see the harm to that. if id have a daughter, i wouldnt want her dressing like 90% of the other 10 year old girls in schools these days. decreasing the sexual appetite of males might not be such a bad idea either in some cases.

i always hear its not a choice thatthat way,people keep telling me its not influence or enviorment,that their born this way.then why do men and women live almost their entire life straight then find out after 10 or 20 years of marriage they are suddenly attracted to the same sex and become gay or lesbian or bi. u cant tell me their life straight was a lie and they were just hiding their feelings, somehting obviously went wrong physically or mentally to direct them this way ,it may be normal in their mind to be gay but i dont think its natural and they need help the only people who condon being gay are people who are gay,or people like parents who are forced to condon it to keep their kids love so i ask again is being gay more by influence?

Someone had given me the name of someone in Nassau county, Ann Cervone, but did not have any contact information. Would like to try someone pretty accurate in person and not some psychic online or telephone service.

There are a lot of people, both on this site and in the world at large, who harp on about how we are headed for the end of the world and that human kind is swiftly falling towards some apocalyptic doomsday (religiously oriented or otherwise).

Do you believe this is so, or is it more likely that we are just experiencing another low in our cultural evolution where great advances in technology, medical science and multi-culturalism are balanced out by rising crime figures, world conflicts, corrupted youth culture and more and more cases of obesity and ignorance?

What do you think? Is it time yet to barricade ourselves in our homes with whatever weaponry we have handy and await armageddon, or is tomorrow always a brighter day?

Serious answers only please. Thank you!
