I am just curious, I don't know any gay people, wondering what age and if it was just from no attraction to the opposite sex, or just curiousity?

Koran (9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. Th e wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!)

This has been circulating on the net. Is it a real passage? Just curious.

I was reading an article on the Rwandan Genocide about a Roman Catholic priest who abandoned his congragation after his attempts to save them from the hutu militia failed. They ordered him to leave or else he would be killed. He 'blessed' his church and left them to die. Now more Rwandan's are turning to Islam because of the shameful role christianity played during the genocide. My question is who would do what the priest did? Honestly, God knows I don't know what I'd have done. I understand his fear, I mean who can't. But sitting here right now I really don't know what I'd have done and I just had to ask someone. How many people would be willing to risk their lives for others (especially if u claim christianity and in a genocide)

Do athiests believe that murder is neither good nor bad? From what I understand, the idea of murder being bad comes from religious belief. The idea that humans have a soul, or that only god can determine when someone lives or dies, all stem from religion. Animals do not believe in god, and they show indifference to murder within their own species. Therefore, if religion didn't exist, the idea of murder being evil would not have been created.

So if an atheist thinks murder is evil or bad, aren't they indirectly believing in a higher power?

I like to hear from some atheists on this matter! Let's discuss!

On a second note, (maybe for another question) aren't most laws of man derived from religion? Wouldn't atheists be against most of those?

I've read Piers Anothony, I've seen the card from Magic The Gathering, and I played a game where the NightMare was a blue-eyed, black pegasus belonging to Death. I want to know if there is a mythological history behind the equine version of the NightMare. It's a little hard to dig around on the internet because Nightmare is such a widely used word.

Christmas, or Christ-mas, is a Christian Holiday (Holy-day) celebrating the birth of Christ. So why do so many people who aren't Christian celebrate it? It's kind of like me, celebrating Black History Month. Has it lost all its value, so now everyone can celebrate it?

I'm 17, and sometimes I have to go into town to buy clothes or other items by myself. I feel nervous, like all eyes are on me, espesically when I see big groups of teenagers walking around, or couples holding hands. I know its stupid because the world obviously doesn't evolve around me, but I hate doing stuff alone, outside of my house. I can't even walk my dog down to the beach by myself because I get so self-conscious. What should I do?

Many have died for its tool (religion), Many have spoken wonders abt the goods of its tool. But many have fail to have faith in God. WHY?




Coz if you have faith in God, all religion are one and its a peace to all mankind.

Specifically guys - it's not something people talk a lot about but there has to be ways that are better than others. Standing up, sitting down, front to back, back to front.

I can't believe I just asked this question and got removed. Are you guys kidding me? It's a very valid question

I am sometimes scared that I will end up a lonely old pathetic guy and that I will never find true love. Although I wouldn't consider myself ugly, I am not a supermodel either, and I feel like most gay men are only willing to date you if you're hot. I was in a really nice, swanky gay bar last night and all they guys were gorgeous...every single one...and I was angry that they all seemed so shallow, but I was also sad that I would never fit in. I have these strange feelings often...so many gay men focus solely on appearance, yet I understand why physical hotness is really attractive. I don't know..does anyone else feel like if they're not gorgeous, your options are really limited?

The catholic church made it official dictrine that gods existence can be proven with reason and most christians (non catholic as well) seem to feel that way. But as soon as it is hard to defend a specific point about christianity, then it's all about "faith," and not man's own mental ability to reason. Isn't that circular logic?
every time a christian tries to tell you they KNOW that he exists they cite that they felt him in their life and he got them through life's hurdles. Do atheists not have "hurdles" that they have weathered to be here alive and well?

I find myself physically attracted to men by the way they look and if they have a good personality. I've never had a real boyfriend (I am 22) and I want to have that experience. The problem is I also find myself attracted to women. I am extremely attracted to my best friend. We are together alot and I love spending time with her. She has a boyfriend but when we are together she will do things like lean against me, put her feet over mine, and rub my back and head, and vise versa. But she also has sex with her boyfriend and loves to be with him. Whenever she does anything mentioned above I get all tingly. If I am around a guy I think is attractive I do get nervous and hope to kiss or cuddle, but don't feel the intense feelings I have for her!! We made out once when we were drunk (she does to other girls to) and I loved it! I find myself looking at other women, but I can't imagine myself having sex with them.
Am I gay or bi? And is my best friend the same way??
Thank you!
