I have done this, but only on rare occasions when I'm in the middle of eating something and suddenly have to go really bad. I generally just grab everything and go. However, I take coffee to the bathroom all the time. Am I strange or do others do these things as well?

First things first, I'm a straight married man. Now, I understand the arguement that Christians have against gay marriage. A man shall not lie next to a man, and all that Bible talk. That's fine. But if you use this arguement to fight gay marriage, shouldn't you fight equally hard against atheist marriages performed by judges? The whole arguement against gay marriage is based on religion, so why should anti-religous straight people get a free ride? For me, I can't take these anti-gay people seriously when they can't even have a consistant set of values themselves. If they were consistent by opposing athiest marriage as well at least I would respect their opinion, but as it stands now, the logic just isn't there.

Did the bible conveniently forget to mention that 'God' created life on other planets and that humans are not the apple of His eye

We checked into a Hotel in Elmira, New York and walked straight into a full blown Int'l Star Trek (Trekkie) Convention!

I have never seen a more moronic mob of mentally difficient, absolute and utter :

"L O O S E R S " in all my life!!

Hundreds of Kling-on Wanna Be Warriors complete with HUGE ARMOUR SPIKED Jock Cups in full regalia roaming about the Hotel snarling at guests speaking some strange langauage !!!!
Klingon?

Are these people dangerous?

They actually responded and adressed each other according to some imaginary script and Rank. ... weird. They were always in costume and never lefy the hotel until the

All the Spocks spoke and acted like Spock and so on
B I Z Z A R E !!

What does this aberant behavior indicate other than being a
complete ... "LO O S E R "? Are their lives so devoid of substance
that they have to morph into some cartoon to be recognized?

I adore the "Sopranos" but but lets face it I wouldn't dye my hair with Wings like Paulie

Hi, I was wondering if people could each list 3 or more similarities between Muslim and Christian religions, then least an equal amount of differences. I'm Agnostic and pretty ignorant on both, though I know a little more about Christian faiths because of being American. They both strike me as pretty similar religions in that they both seem to believe in one true God, Heaven, Hell and one particular prophet above all others. Correct me if I'm wrong on those, I'm very ignorant about Muslim religions. I know there are a lot of different Muslim and Christian religions too, so listing a particular one such as Catholic or Shiite as an example is fine. I simply want to learn more about both, and this seems like a good starting point for future research. Thank you!

My husband and I cannot get along. I have tried so hard. He doesn't believe in God and he hates that I go to church and that I am a Christian. It's not like I preach to him. I respect his beliefs and I think he should do the same for me. He used to hit me but he stopped doing that because he was put in jail for it. But he is all the time calling me names and saying I am worthless. I don't know how that is though because I work and clean and cook. He doesnt do anything. He works maybe 16 hours a week making minimum wage. He doesnt lift a finger for the house and he refuses to take care of our daughter. She is almost 2. When I am working and he is supposed to be watching her, he doesnt feed her and doesnt change her diaper. He is lazy. Why would God want me to stay in this marriage? I heard that God hates marriage. But I have prayed and done everything and nothing works. So what should I do then? I want us to be together but he doesnt try. How can I help him to grow up? Pray for us......

Last year they gave me a christmas tree shaped night light and a candle, respectively. I'm 24, why would I need a night light!? I can't afford (and don't want) to spend much. They really hate me and act like I'm not here most of the time. They both have rich husbands and all they talk about is how much they hate men. As far as I can tell they just watch tv and shop when they are not at home. I'm not going to spend the money to get a gift card - I want something cheaper.... Any ideas?

THE LIE
by Janet O'Neill

A child is born, his father beams
Another chance to live his dreams.
A new life now to guide and mold,
He'll tell the child what he's been told.
An intellect to quickly seize.
Embrace the faith while reason flees,
So much of life spent on your knees.
So much of life spent on your knees.

* * *

Baptize the innocent with tricks
Of sacrifice and crucifix.
Whispered prayers and chanted psalm
Deliver fear and guilt with calm.
Behind nonsense of ritual
Words tempt of heaven, threaten hell.
Reality is hard to sell.
Reality's so hard to sell.

* * *

Truth is harder still to find.
To keep the faith you close the mind!
And faith, not intellect, is chief
When minds are frozen in belief.
Smear the ashes on the brow
Starve, but feed the sacred cow.
Torah, Koran, bible scribes
Recite the dusty diatribes.
Recite, recite the diatribes.

* * *

Quote endless scripture, Pray the beads,
Worship countless deities.
Proclaiming love dispense the hate,
Banish - excommunicate!
Scorn the man whom reason rules,
Congregate with holy fools.
Celebrate all martyrdom.
Capture minds while they're still young.
Be sure to get them when they're young.

* * *

Cathedrals vaulted ceilings high
Regally dress up the lie.
Burn the incense, sing and sway
Superstition saves the day!
Ring the bells and genuflect
Dance with snakes around your neck.
Wail at the wall, bow to the east
Ignorance is a senseless beast.
Shout fire and brimstone, heaven and hell,
But fear the individual.
Fear most the individual.

Now this is to the non spirit filled to the pentecostal-charismatic who has worshipped at the shrine of user friendly services. Why do you fight against the free, liberating, move of God's Holy Spirit?
I mean, no where in scripture does God say I will cease using the gifts of the Spirit. Besides wouldn't that make a fair and just God and "indian giver"? Also, if he was perfect why would he give them at a state of perfection then take them away? Seems if he took em away that would mean he had to change? Also, all through the Bible we see God demonstrating His power and presence through supernatural manifestations! Either through healing, miracles, prophecy, utterance in tongues. Places where God is freely allowed to move have more revival, more life, more people set free from evil habits (drugs, alcohol, perversions ) instead of copping out that God changed and miracles ceased (which aint in the bible) maybe "the Faith" for miracles ceased and people got more religious than real!

My cousin and I were having a discussion the other day and we came up with this question: "Are we naturally good and tend to do evil things or are we naturally evil and strive to be good?"

I know this doesn't go for all of them, but the African American males I've been around have only two main ambitions: to be a pro athlete or a rap star. Why not a chemist, or a stock broker, or an insurance salesman? I'm sure those exist. Why not more?

I have been trying to stick up Christmas lights INSIDE of my windows for the past week!!! I cannot put them on the outside of my place, because we rent and live in apartments. I am using tape because I cannot use push pins on my windows. I have tried three different tapes, masking tape, double sided, and packing tape. None will hold up. Eventually the tape will come off on its own, even if I layer it 2-3 times. I am getting really frustrated! Please help! I want Christmas lights :(
