Has anyone ever gone to see one and was it true? Tell me about it. I really want to go see one. I'm soooo confused.... trying to get out of this relationship but it's so hard... I can't trust anyone and to make it worst it's the holidays. Not saying I'm going to go tomorrow, but I'm considering going soon. So did it work for YOU?

I fail to understand, isn't following your heart the most important factor in life? or is it better to 'give in' to the a set of rules 'just in case'?

I'm involved in the Big Brother / Big Sister program and have been paired with a hispanic girl who's family is from mexico. I would like to know a little more about her culture and I wanted to know if there are any things that I might do that would offend them. It might be a silly question, but hey...couldn't hurt to ask.

I am not quite a practicing christian though I believe in the basic principles and beliefs of christianity. However lately, as a result of my father being a Theravada Buddhist (not practicing though), I have been studying more and more about buddhism and really love the concepts and beliefs on how to live everyday life. My problem is, I'm so rooted in christianity that I am torn on whether I can do both or if I'll need to just choose one.

"Upon graduation I was a professor in a Baptist college and for 10 years I taught Greek, English Bible, Theology, Church History, and Apologetics. It was then I began to have my first doubts about the validity of my faith. The more I studied and the more I thought, the less I believed. I finally came to the conclusion that all religions are man-made and represent wishful thinking on the part of the believers. All of us want to think that there is some meaning in life and that we will see our loved ones again. Religion offers simple answers to those and other deep questions.
One of the major stumbling blocks was the whole concept of the atonement. How could someone else be punished in my place and I go free? That strikes against any sense of fairness. We would not allow that in any court of law. Punishment is only valid if it is the guilty person being punished. I have read every major theologian's discussion of the atonement and I have never been satisfied by the various answers."

I want to cook dinners for needy people in my area. I want to also make little boxes with essentials (soap, toothpaste, etc.) to hand out with the dinners. Does anyone know a good place to buy the food for the dinners or the soap and things for the boxes? I live in Miami, FL. if that makes a difference. Also if anyone has any ideas of anything else I can give that would help. Basically, I know what I want to do, I'm just having trouble with exactly how to do it.

Do christians have an innate tendency to be tempted toward crime or is it that people with a tendency toward crime seek comfort in christ thinking that they will be absolved of their sins just by accepting a name though deeds hardly match? I'm not christian and and i'm not tempted toward bad things!

I know the latter bothers me a whole lot more. How about you?

Please don't restrict this to just brown-skinned ppl. I want to hear from any ethnic group who have been mistreated due to n-word-type hatred or stereotyping.


Thanks

Why do really offensive, ludacrous questions get posted here?
But I ask a serious, straightfoward question and it gets deleted? The question was simply as follows: "Why do Christians go about labeling people as evil?" But it's okay for mock spongebob to ask where Squidwards panties are? What is this, the twilight zone?

I'm doing a play with Mormons and need to familiarize myself with them.

1) What are Mormon Church practices similar to Catholics'? Do Latter Day Saint Mormons recieve the Eucharist?

2) Do they drink coffee and alcohol?

3) Do Mormons have pastors who can marry?

4) Do Mormons use Christian prayers such as: "Bless us O Lord, and these thy gifts, Which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, Through Chirst, Our Lord. Amen?" Are there other more popular meal prayers that they use?

5) What do Mormon Church pastors wear for Christmas Mass? Do they have mass on Christmas Eve?

6) Do Mormons do the sign of the cross?

7) Are there Mormon communities or churches in NYC and New Jersey?
Thanks!

I mean coming on here to mess around is funny sometimes. But these people are really just 13 year olds thinking it's okay to say horrible things so they can laugh. They wouldn't dare start calling people racial slurs because even they wouldn't go that far. It's okay to call us names because they can't pick on any other group. Why can't they just grow up? Why do these people have to be so horrible? Nothing on here can be taken seriously but too far is too far. Thoughts?
