The most loud and vocal morons that gotta make sure everyone knows how much they hate "f@gs" are the same ones who will cheer and hoot and hollar at two drunk chicks making out at a party or whatever. How can you be that big of a jack@ss, if you can't even be bothered to feel consistently across the board? That means, if you're gonna overrun your mouth abut "f@gs", you gotta be against those hot "bi" chicks, too.

Or is it only "wrong" if it doesn't give these f**ktards a "pup-tent"? I realize there are women who are the opposite, against lesbians, but women are not generally loud or violent, like males. It's not the same thing.

Would showing signs of a brain hurt these types machismo somehow? How can these types be this f**king stupid?

i am not asking this question for me..i swear. but i guess i just want to know other people's opinions. what do you guys think is the right age for kissing? and how about making-out? i know its weird for me asking, but like i said..i want to know what other people think. for example..i have a friend and at 10 years old, she could say that she has kissed, made-out, and has had over 2 boyfriends at once. she's 11 right now. and now she can say that guys have touched her, but i mean it literally. i honestly think she is kinda slutty =\
and the weird thing she's not what u call the "hottest thing on the block"..not even close.
but you know when girls are promiscuous, no matter how they look, guys will still take advantage. im sorry, i didnt do this to criticize anyone. please dont think im awful. so anyways...what do you think?

Yourdictionary.com defines religion as:

a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

Alright, now with this definition, I have heard two odd statements on this site: "Christianity is not a religion" and "Atheism is a religion".

Firstly, If Christianity isn't a religion, (though judging by the above definition, it seems to be), but actually a "Personal relationship with Jesus". Then is there such thing as religion? I mean, couldn't we just define all religions as personal relationships with Allah, the Goddess, etc.?

Secondly, if atheism is a religion, is anarchy a government type? Is not eating, a food choice? Seriously, how is the absence of religion a religion?

I usually go to a Halloween party. But this year, my BF's working on Halloween night (hes a barman). So we can't go out.

I'm nearly 35 weeks pregnant with my first baby and too tired and uncomfortable to do much - can't drink, can't really go to a party or sit in a smoky pub or club.

I love Halloween though.

I want to do something but I'll be stuck on my own at home. I've bought a pumpkin, some sweets to give out to the trick otr treaters, some little halloween decorations etc,

I was thinking of just dressing up and watching Most Haunted Live or some scary vids etc, and giving out sweets to the tirck or treaters, but thats seems a bit sad doesn't it?

Any suggestions?

John 16 26 says 26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
I have always started my prayers saying Father God in the name of Jesus is this correct.

I read a lot lately about the different races, the whites, the black people, the asian, the native american, and go on. Which ones are clasified as races??

I'm from south America, and I don't think "latin" it's a race, because here in Venezuela, we all know the spaniards came and conquered, they brought black slaves which mixed with the spaniards and with our own natives. Besides many foreigners came over the years and years and years...

So I want to see what you got to say about this, anything you want to say.

why woulld god care if responsible consenting adults have sex without being married? How does it bring him glory that we should suffer impossible temptation like that? it seems like such an arbitrary demand. It is an inherent desire in humans. Why does sex have to be "bad" for you? the desire between two people who really care for each other, whether they are married or not, is innocent and pure. do you think that jesus is crying in heaven when two people have a close enough relationship that they want to give each other pleasure? You can't claim it's because of the inherent risks ( STDs, AIDS, unwanted pregnancy) because responsible people use protection and try to protect their health. Even if that does leave SLIGHT risk of pregnancy, you still say anything about young unmarried adults who responsibly accept that risk. They know what they are doing and a prepared for the consequences.

Today I woke up, and opened this forum, and this is what happened.
The christians said to the Atheists I love you my brother since we are connected to the same source, in which the muslims followed the same example, and everyone put down their weapons. The Wiccans, and the Pagans came about, and brought them flowers, and braclets made of tree bark. The Athesists said to his fellow man, I love you, and I live my life to do good for others. The buddhists, the philosophers, the scientists, everyone, and every religion agreed that they loved each other, and did not say that heaven was only their exclusive right. And the Satanists came upon, and saw the love of acceptance, and indeed was accepted as well. It was a joyous day with love, aceeptance, and the lack of judgement. Where everyone agreed that this was the only way.
Now I wonder what should we call this place that I woke up to today?

If the US spent more on education than on military expansion, would:

....the US even be in the state it is in?
....the rest of the world have so much reason to look down its nose at America?
...Bush have ever been elected in the first place?
...would it actually for once make a VALUABLE contribution to the rest of the world?
...would the US troops have arrest Bush instead as the bigger warmonger/traitor?
Would they STILL be playing the victim, instead of taking ownership for their own historical misdeeds?

You are the endless sea
In whom all the worlds like waves
Naturally rise and fall.

You have nothing to win,
Nothing to lose.
Child,
You are pure awareness,
Nothing less.

You and the world are one.

So who are you to think
You can hold on to it,
Or let it go?

How could you!
