Society & Culture - 16 December 2006

there is a co-worker of mine who is openly gay, she has a great personality and we get along great... so great one night we went drinking, came home together, layed down in bed together, then woke up in the morning and had sex together... i was the only guy she's been with in 5 years. It didn't change anything between us (told you she had a great personality).. but my question is if i try to make something out of 'us'.. do i stand a chance?

I am not mocking anyone here. Just curious is all. If Jesus was killed before being put on the cross. What would happen in the future? What would happen if we evolved enough to build a time machine (since the math is there and is only a matter of time) to go back in time and kill jesus before his righteous death?

I mean, if a person is gay, is it bad to call them a homo or other nickname for being gay? Are they all offensive, even saying a person is gay when its even true. What do you think, are all these words bad, some are or its ok if its true?

You wrote that the Christians and the Jews jettisoned the bad teachings of their holy books and now their books are sanitized. Actually they haven’t. Their holy books still contain a lot of nonsense. However what they did is they decided that those so-called holy books are not the textual words of God but rather written by men who were inspired by God. This makes a world of difference, because it allows them not to take what is obviously outrageous too seriously. There is always an element of human error. That is why they have become tolerant. But unfortunately this possibility does not exist with the Quran. Quran claims to be the verbatim word of Islam’s deity, Allah and therefore no alteration is possible.

Also the NT does not have much violence. It is actually a book that teaches non-violence. The OT contains many stories of violence perpetrated by Moses and Joshua. But those are stories. Apart from the fact that these personages are more mythological than real and what is attr

I know that most people who have very dark skin usually have naturally dark hair, because of their pigments. But are there any very very dark skined people (e.g people who may partly have an african background) who have naturally light hair (e.g blond)?

also is there a connection between a person's hair colour and their nipple colour (male or female).

...and how do they as an order relate to Knights Templars and/or Freemasons, if they're is a correlation.

Forget the Dan Brown angle.

Just the facts, ma'am. Just the facts...........

what if somehow somebody managed to get some DNA from Jesus from let's say the holly mantle (is that how it was called?) and that it was meant to be that the second Coming of Jesus Christ would be as a clone
also as a second question, am i blasfemous for wondering this sort of thing, no, the Lord gave us the gift of creativity and pondering, and no one truly knows how things are meant to be until they happen, so it's just a very real possibility

Today I spent over $300 at 2 different Kohls stores and NOT ONE cashier acknowledged me or told me thank you for my business. I was also at a Ross Department store today and spent $60 and the cashier just handed me the receipt without saying one word and practically ignored me. Also I greet the cashier FIRST. Everytime I say hi to them they just stare into space and make no eye contact with me. Also it's a pet peeve when I say "thank you" to them (which is their job) and they say NOTHING. The cashiers just hand you the receipt and say NOTHING, not even have a nice day. I used to work in retail in college and I always greeted and told each customer thank you! What is wrong with these people?

Openly gay men - how do you feel about guys who are on the down low? Does it bother you that they come to you for sex, and go back to their wives for love and companionship? Or do you like the no-strings-attached sex, with no committment involved?

God is perfect, therefore every star in the sky was placed with perfect precision exactly where it was meant to be. So what significance does the placement of the stars have if it's not to do with astrology.
This was not meant to be a religious debate, just act like god exists if your and athiest, and make a hypothesis.

Please give with your answer an explaination in your own words and source along with your religion (if you have a religious affiliation). For example, if you give a scripture verse as an answer, please give your own inturpretation of that scripture in common terms. For atheists, please so state and give reference for your definition.

The Iglesia ni Cristo of the Philippines has a Thanksgiving (around Christmas time, to replace Christmas, and not to be confused with the US Thanksgiving holiday) and claims that "Thanksgiving" is mentioned in the Bible. Is this true? Is a Thanksgiving really mentioned in the Bible or is it more likely that the Iglesia ni Cristo just invented Thanksgiving to discourage members from celebrating Christmas?
