So if you don't ask for it, but think you have it, but yet other people don't think you have it. Do you have it?

Okay let's think about this for a minute, Jesus himself never said a word about homosexuality, for or against. The only passage about it, was written by people who lived in a society and community where particular male homosexuality was looked down upon. Technically King James wrote the most famous bible, and he was the one who had a serious problem about it. But anyway, I also to point out while lust is considered part of the 7 deadly sins, it doesn't specify what type of lust, and technically that could cover anyone with either sexual orientation or marital status. The only thing about sex written in the ten commandments was, "thou shalt not commit adultery", that applied more toward a married heterosexual couple.

And I really think things such as blasphemy and murder were greater sins than homosexuality (if that's really a sin). And I know a lot of Christians say no sin is better or worse than the other. But we don't act that way.

For many years i've been fighting that - it seems that people don't get it. Religion was created by men - Jesus does not offer you another Religion he's offering you a new life, clean from sin.

How many people can understant that!!

SO CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION !! GOT IT??

Do you think America needs to drop God from the Pledge of allegiance? Do you think the Federal Holiday in December should recognize the Winter Solstice instead of Christmas? Do you think it's more politically correct to say Happy Holidays, or Merry Christmas?

Just curious to see what peoples opinions on this matter.

I see lots of unusual claims about the truth on this Y!A board.

-The Bible has been around for thousands of years, so it must have some truth in it.
-10% of the people repent on their deathbeds, that proves God exists.
etc, etc, etc.

You do realise that truth has absolutely nothing to do with numbers, right?

Personally, I’ll definitely do certain acts here:

# FIRE Prof. Binns! He may stay as Hogwarts Ghost but not as History of Magic teacher anymore! To replace his position, I’ll call Gilderoy Lockheart to teach History of Magic. Gilderoy is totally fraud at Defense Against the Dark Arts, but still he’s a great story-teller! I believe if he’s given chance here, History of Magic will transform from the most boring class ever into the most entertaining class ever at Hogwarts!

# SHUT down Sybill Trelawney’s Divination Class! Too many rubbish there, but still few students favor it. In this case, Divination could still be taught, but only in form of short course (like Apparition) or club (like Dueling Club or Dumbledore’s Army).

I study many religions and ways of life.
My question is why does
Theravada is atheistic and believes the Buddha himself was
a human and there is no god or gods?? while on the other hand
Mahayana and Vajrayana is more polytheistic and believes he was divine and many other gods are followed?? And some even Tibetan Buddhist believe that he was only a human and nothing more while others believe he was divine and many other gods real.
And if Karma decides what happens, Who is the one who judges
ones Karma and what they become in there next life??

Only on Y!A do I get an answer that is something gay like Revelations 21:845 or Genesis 328:32r98 or John 3298u32:3289043298 or something horribly gay like that. You know I'm not going to touch that propaganda, so why do you quote it? Knowing full well from my questions that I am an atheist, why, oh why, must you quote the Bible? I don't go around quoting Darwin (and if I did, you'd probably shove John Paul 38:288 in my face or something). And the funniest thing about it? I am a confirmed Catholic...

Does it have anything to do with religion? I was just wondering. And is it okay to say it to a complete stranger? I think I know that answer, but what if they don't believe in God? Will they still say thank you?

A friend's parents recently welcomed my boyfriend and me and other friends for an overnight stay in their home while we attended an engagement party for a mutual friend in their town. I should mention that neither my boyfriend or I had met them before. I am sending a small gift but would also like to thank them for their generous hospitality; they had lunch waiting for us upon our arrival and cooked a large breakfast for 8 of us the next morning and even showed us their town and took us to their country club for ice skating and drinks, etc... I am having difficulty phrasing the part of the letter that mentions these things concisly and with gratitude. I have looked on the internet for tips but have not had much luck in this area. Your suggestions are both welcomed and appreciated!
