Quran 90:12
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is!
(It is) to free a slave,
And to feed in the day of hunger.
An orphan near of kin,
Or some poor wretch in misery

There are so many questions here where the obvious answer is that the person is bisexual. What is the true definition of sexual orientation and why are so many people stating that sexual orientation is something that people are born with? For example, the statement "I was born gay" keeps popping up, but the statment "I was born straight" or " I was born bisexual" doesn't, why is this so ?

Killing an Animal is wrong?

if so then, are you a vegan/vegitarian?

you cant think that hunting/killing animals is wrong then go it a cheese burger now can you?

killing it is just as bad as eating it :)

I would wish that those who really celebrate the birth of Christ find peace and joy.
This is of course true for everyone and includes the wish that my brother and all who serve in the Armed Forces may come home behind their flag, not under it.
Kind regards, Rose P

I've noticed both in this section and the Mythology section, no one can ask a genuine question regarding anything in those belief systems without a couple dozen replies of "I'll pray for you because you're lost and have not found Jesus." If someone wanted to believe in Jesus as a religious figure in their lives, they would not be Pagan or Wiccan. There is nothing wrong with being either of those. If Christians and atheists can ask questions, why can't Pagans? In this section, the category name even says it is open to all.

The 12-year-old girl is almost 13 and often wants to do what the older sister does as well. They are both tall and cute, no boyfriends, good students, creative, know a little sewing. They like Harry Potter and are still looking forward to the next book and movie. They both have their own rooms. Just moved from California to Utah. They both like to sing.

Try to put aside the idea of any type of everlasting life or set of rules if you can.

Yet we are supposed to be "Tolerant" of Islam who BTW believes in "Convert or Die". They should learn by the history of my own religion from 600 years ago that this DOES NOT WORK!
What do you think? And please, without attacking me or Christians. I'm bracing myself here! Thanks!

I've never been to a holiday office party before. What is appropriate atire? Jeans and a nice sweater? I work at a sports facility and this party is being held at an upscale Inn.

Also, what do I do with myself while there? I mean, I know to go around and say "hi" to everyone and wish them happy holidays but what about after that? I'm not all that close to anyone that will be attending (mostly upper management). I don't want to be standing in the corner by myself. Heck, I don't want to go to begin with but already told them I would. It would look really bad if I backed out now, huh? I backed out last year but I doubt anyone noticed.

Please help!

I wish the pope could answer this one....

So..do you think I could be considered Christian, if.....I believe in Christ (not the son of God however) I respect him and all of his good doings....I think that his message was a good one...

Can I love him as a brother....but not believe he was the son of Godd .....?
Can I see him as messenger, holy....peacefull...but not believe that he his the son God?

I love my race, my culture, and my background. But I've heard alot of White people both online and in person say that if they say they're proud to be White they're considered racist? I don't know where that came from, but here's your chance!

EVERYBODY, say what you're proud to be! Although in my 'hood, it would sound more like "I'm proud to be 1/4ths Black,1/4ths Cherokee Indian, 1/4ths Puerto Rican, and 1/4ths Irish!" LOL!!!
