I have noticed some answers that are rude when someone askes about another race or about gay people. Why be rude? Some of the question are just questions, the person is curious and is trying to educate themselves. I understand the rudness if the person asking a question uses a derogatory term but why be rude just because of a simple question?

What do you have to be thankful for?
I am thankful for the love of my family, the roof over our heads, the food on the table, and most of all the smiles that greet me when I wake up in the morning.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I keep hearing arguments against gay maarriage but I cannot find anyone to answer some questions I have about the arguments.

If marriage is so sacred then I am wondering when the ammendment to ban divorce and make adultery punishable by prison time will be voted on?

If marriage is about reproduction then I was wondering why sterile heterosexual people are allowed to marry and why heterosexual couples can marry and choose not to have children? Should we ban sterile marriage and make it a requirement to have children if you are married?

If marriage is about kids having both a mother and father then why is it legal to have single parents? Even if we do allow divorce shouldn't we make it a law that the parents have to stay together so the kid has both a mother and father?

If marriage "is the way it has always been" then when will we dissolve all inter-racial and inter-faith marriages since previously marriage was NEVER inter-racial or inter-faith?

serious question here

Think about it, Bush would be the "emperor" trying to make his buddies rich while the humblest among us got absolutely nothing. How do you think that would go? Would Jesus be stuck in a caged "free speech zone"?

It's Genesis 6:4.

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

I' ve heard it said that this a possible reference to the gods in Greek mythology. Not that they were gods, but that they were beings that really existed that were not totally human either and that Greek mythology may not have been a total myth. What do you think?

The documents available to us indicate that Jesus' trial lasted all night and part of the next day. It was not a secret trial, but a trial attended by the general public, the Jewish leaders and the members of the Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish authority in
Jesus' time. This fact creates an unresolved dilemma for the Muslims who allege that the crucified one was not really Jesus but another person, perhaps Judas Iscariot. This claim is erroneous, and lacks historical proof. It does not fit into the nature of the events. Could not the crucified substitute complain loudly and vigorously during his public trial that he was not Jesus? Actually the response of the defendant when He declared that He was the Son of God was sufficient to sentence Him to death. Is it reasonable that a substitute who was mistakenly arrested would ascribe to himself so grave a claim under such circumstances? All the historical documents at our disposal do not record any remonstrance, or semi-remonstrance

In the Bible Mathew 22:24-32 says this:
[24] Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[25] Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
[26] Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
[27] And last of all the woman died also.
[28] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
[29] Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
[30] For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
[31] But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
[32] I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

This is something that has bugged me for a long time, but it seems to me that the more we try to legislate tolerance and respect, the less tolerant and respectful we are becoming as a society. Do you agree, or are we failing to address the real problem of education within family/school etc about a real understanding and practice of tolerance and respect?
