I don't mean this to sound judgmental at all. But what is the rationale for a bartender to refuse to serve a very drunk person -- assuming s/he has already taken away keys, called a cab, whatever? If it is for health reasons, should the same principle apply to very obese people indulging in super-sized fast food meals? Society has been made very aware of the health risks associated with obesity; it is even called an epidemic. So please don't read this as though I'm bashing anyone, but more a question rising out of social concern. Thoughts?

And why would he change his mind? Is it because of that false genetic decay after the first perfect creations? Hypothetically, if I found my sister and I had perfect genes, would it be okay for us to incest?

I am christian and I have homosexual and bisexual friends. I believe in justice for all people and they (the homosexual community) are facing social oppression to an extent and I feel it is wrong. Is it, by me being christian, wrong to tolerate their lifestyle and vouch for civil rights for them? Or should I be like the extremist christian and do nothing while people who are sinners like we are get persecuted by those of us who proclaim the God that IS love?

I never really though about this befor, but when I asked a question about raising a child when you are and Agnostic I got many responses saying that my fiancee and I are unequally yoked. He is Christian, although he hasen't been to church in ages and I don't think it is a top concern of his in his day to day life, and I am an Agnostic who would like to believe, but I just don't feel like there is a God. Believe me I have tried, but I just felt I was faking a belief. Anyway my question is, do you think this will be a problem in our relationship?
Please only answer this question.
Do not preach to me to fing God, I tried and it didn't work you telling me to look is not going to change anything.
Answers from believers and non are welcome, especially if you are in a situation like mine.
Thanks.

How often does the enemy steal you joy? Have you had any dreams or visions from the ememy. I cannot stand satan or his demons. Also one last question. When you first became a Christian how often did the enemy harras you? This question is only for Christians only.

A man and woman enter an emergency room, the woman aiding the man who is ill and barely able to walk.

A nurse comes out and helps the sick man into a room, then asks the woman to wait in the waiting room.

The man protests and tearfully asks that she be allowed into the examining room with them. The nurse asks her, "Are you his wife?" The woman replies, "No, but we live together."

The nurse states the hospital policy that only those who are legally next of kin are allowed into examinations.

The man begins to cry, perhaps from pain; he is too weak to protest, but the woman begs to be allowed to come along.

The nurse again states hospital policy that she's not allowed into the examining room, primarily because only next of kin were allowed to help make medical decisions. She could serve no role in those decisions.

WAS THE HOSPITAL'S POLICY ETHICALLY CORRECT?
WHAT RESPONSE WOULD YOUR FAITH SUGGEST TO THIS DILEMMA?

I was told that most firefighters in my area need to have to have EMT training, so I went ahead and enrolled in EMT courses. But some people are telling me that I should volunteer first and get training that way, and worry about the EMT courses later. I wanted to do my courses now and volunteer later, so I can work as a paramedic and get paid while I volunteer. Whats the best thing to do?

I mean I find most religions seem to be self absorbed and those that follow said religion are often judgemental and do not adhere to the principles that they say they follow. I have a faith and belief in God but also a scientific views of the world and I do not think we know everything. I cannot accept the bible word for word but it is more a guide for life and you take what you need. Is there a religion that will accept these views?

There are only 54 verses that mention hell in the Bible. It is a misrepresentation of God's character to suggest that He will sentence people, even the wicked, to an eternity of burning. No verse suggests that this will happen. There will be punishment but no eternal suffering. It is a false teaching that has done a lot of damage.

And bisexual girls are welcome to answer to respond to someone that answered the question earlier.

Would you date a guy that had been with another guy?
Take aids out of the question. Pretend neither man had been with anyone else for 6 months and they were both tested and free of aids...u people really need an education on aids.

What if no penetration was involved. In other words, only oral. Does that make a difference?

Also, consider that the guy didn't like the experience and has no desire to do it again. Does this make a difference.

Thanks for all of you for taking the time to answer. Please, think and don't just throw out your impulsive close-minded answer.
