Atheists do good for good's sake. Theists do it because they're worried about divine retribution. Which do you think is more moral?

I am going to a work event. The invitation says formal. I asked one of the ladies who put the even on, "how formal is formal, for this even". She stated that the guys wears suits and the ladies cocktail dresses. She said that tuxedos weren't at all necessary.

I am wondering if the dress I will be wearing is appropriate. It is sleevless. It is also long, probably 2 inches above my ankle. It is a scoop neck and not at all low cut (will NOT show cleavage). The dress is black with cream embroidered flowers down the front. The dress is lined in cream and has some leaves cut out showing the satiny lining.

I just don't get it. It's about what you give to the world isn't it? It's not for other people to judge what you present as bad, religious, wrong, or anything right?

I'd like to give to someone less fortunate than me - can you suggest a good local charity that might need new, tangible goods (toys, gifts, etc.)? Also -- where is a good place to volunteer time? I live in the Main Line area. Thank you!

He said he's happy being ordinary and not bothering anyone but I tell him it will be much more exciting if he becomes a Wiccan or Druid in this Judeo Christian culture. I want him to get the same level of attention that I get by adopting a really cool religion that will give him the same kind of identity and specialness I was seeking. I tried chopping up bat wings and performing a Circle of Circulariness but it's not working.

why do catholics look at bread and are sure that it is in fact...a body?
who are catholics kneeling to when they kneel/bow...?
why do catholics traditionally eat liver tacos?
why do catholics think that their religion is in fact superior when their religion is based upon faith.. faith can NOT be proven, but still "THERE REGLION IS THE ONE TRUE CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC"? bold claim for what their claiming it on...(faith).

I had to write a term paper discussing wether Communism should be more of a political system or a religion. As a result, I answered that it was more of a political issue because it controls the lifestyle of people and the economics. But later on...I realized that I was wrong. It could also be considered as a religion. Communism states that there is no God and good is only made from human hands. Mao who was one of the communist revolutionnary killed more or less 1000 monks. Communism was a strong belief. They believed that there was no god. They also did rituals such as reciting stuff about antigods, Marxism. Soo far, what is a religion? religion does not only imply an existence of god. In my opinion, a religion is made from a strong belief into something, contains many followers, and rituals. What do you think? What i want is opinions and not anecdotes from holy book plz.

I'm not really looking for hard rock, but classic old and new songs and hymns to listen to. Prefer female or mix of male and female voices.

I've never understood this. I've heard different reasons.

The most popular reason I've heard is because they don't use it in the same context as when it's used as an insult. However, if a white person uses it in a non-negative context, it's still looked down upon. So I figured it's not really because of the context, because then anyone that used it in the same context as them wouldn't be offending anyone.

Another reason I heard is because they took the word, changed it (a little) and gave it a different meaning (it's not n***er, it's n***a). However, the same problem arises as before: a white person still can't (by can't I mean it's still looked down upon) say the latter, so it isn't really that.

I pondered this for a while, but I want to hear other opinions. Is this a way of being able to exclude whites from something? Do they only feel offended because they were taught about the old meaning of the word by their own families and wouldn't want to be Uncle Tom's?
