I'm confused.
Do people really believe that we live in the 'Last Days' or is it all to make us buy books, or vote a certain way, or contribute more to a church's plate, or even for some to put on a vest of grenades in the name of politics?
Do we panic? Do we prepare? Do we do nothing cause its beyond our control? Do we change our lives or stay the course?

I can't understand this sentence.

I'd like to know..

Yet they were engaged, so wouldn't that be incestous? Or were they so distantly related that it didn't matter? If indeed they actually were?

(Asking this based on a reply to another question I saw)

in 2006, the monarchy seems to be odd with the times. it is useless and isn't necessary for it to be around. once the Queen dies, i'm sure it will atrophy and all will be simpler.

I never thought I could get up in front of a classroom and talk, or talk before a room of my peers. I was tongue tied growing up. I stuttered and went to see a number of forgettable speech teachers. I hated it. My problem was emotional, not physical. The Marine Corps cured me of that. There is a gr a gr gr gr gr grenade coming! Actually I just out grew it. I never stutter and I can address an audience. What fear have you out grown?

So I've heard the saying that "Once you go Black, you gon' need a wheelchair." Lol, what does this mean? Does this mean that becoming Black means you're gonna live a hard-@$$ life full of ghetto bling bling and gangsta cappin fools? Or is it a sexual reference..meaning the sex is gonna be so rough, you're gonna need a wheelchair afterwards? I heard a Black guy saying this to some Caucasian woman, and it made me laugh so hard...he was being totally serious. What do you guys think?

If Noahs Ark really happened, why didn't the wolf eat the sheep and the lion eat the antalope, ect...? Were they all magical animals that loved eachother and only ate leaves?

Ok, I don't know how to ask this, but here i go...

Me and my bf have been trying to have anal sex for some time (2 years) and we haven't really done it. He trys but after a while i just pulled him away and we just do something else... the thing is that I would really like to do it, but i have some issues...

1.- Is there any way to clean the inside of my anus before doing this ?? ( i know... ) HOW ?

2.- How can we do it without pain, we have used some lub but when we use it, sometimes it hurts a little ( not the action, but the lube itself even before we do anything... ) what lube should we use ?

Please, serious answers only...

Thank You !

I'm of mixed race. I came from a large city with a diverse population and have been living in a small town for the last four years and can't move for another year or two. I'm really tired of the insults directed towards my family, but mostly I'm tired of strangers getting in my face and asking "what are you" before even asking my name. I can't even go to the grocery store without someone walking over and asking and then walking away after I've answered. I think its dehumanizing and rude. I'm a person, i have a name. The last few years I've responded with, "why don't you guess" b/c its a playful way to make the inquisitor uncomfortable and 100% have been wrong in their guessing thus far. Sometimes I just don't have time for this so I need a new response. Anyone have an ideas? Something that isn't mean spirited (odds are I will run into some of these people again) but something that makes them realize they are being rude.

It's a natural phenomenon. I learned at age 3 when I became curious. I'm not promiscuous because I was taught that it's part of life; not a hobby.

I'm not racist and I do not freely use these terms. But I wonder where people came up with them. Some just make no sense to me. I know some of them, such as WOP is "with out papers," but I have compiled a list of racial slurs to see if anyone knows where they came from. Please no rude comments I'm just curious.

spik
daigo
guinea
go*ok
honkey

I would like to add that I had to doctor go*ok b/c it was the only racial slur out of these that Yahoo recognized and bleeped out when I previewed it.

For instance, you are obliged to stone your wife to death if you find that she is not a virgin on your wedding night. You are even encouraged to own slaves. In fact, you are obliged to stone to death those that do not believe in God. The bible is very clear that you must make sure that Atheists are stoned to death. (Leviticus 24, Numbers 15, etc)

Are these virtues of a good Christian, or is realizing that the bible is incorrect a virtue of a good Christian?

Everytime I eat with two people I know they carry on talking and never talk about something we all can talk about. I end up being quiet for 10 minutes or more until they finish their conversation. I don't want to be nosy so I don't ask questions. I asked once and they ignored me and continued talking. I was always told that when your eating with people you should talk about something that everyone can talk about. If you have a specific thing you want to tell someone, but don't want anyone to know, you should wait after dinner. Does anyone agree or not?

Why do people believe that the story of Noah's Ark is true? What evidence is there for it?

Believing in the story of Noah's Ark is the equivalent of believing in a fairytale. I believe it starts from childhood. The only reason people believe it is because their parents TOLD them that it was true. If their parents read them a fairytale and the story of Noah's Ark side by side, the child would not be able to differentiate between the two. They would both be fairytales to them.

I mean, if you believe in scientology and it all turns out to be a lie, you have nothing to lose, but if it was all true, you have everything to lose. Are you people retarded by taking the choice of losing before the choice of maybe winning?

(P.S. I'm not a scientologist. I am an Atheist. If you understand the purpose behind this message, you won't ask why I posted this being an Atheist.)

I read somewhere that the lineages in Jewish culture were actually passed down by the mother. Yet in the Bible, they are listed by fathers only, with the exception of Ruth and Mary. Since neither culture/religion at those times gave women any worth at all, it seems strange in that context that they would be chosen to be listed rather than their husbands if the idea of patriarchal lineage is true. Does anyone know what the actual procedure was with that?
