I have heard that it specifically commands this in several places, and that if you are a fundamentalist muslim, you would have to agree with this. I saw an interview with the king of Saudi Arabia and he agreed that this was true, but that most do not choose to take things to these extreems.

I know that many Christians (and some Muslims I know as well) have no problem at all with homosexuality, and I'm not posing the question at them.

I'm also not arguing that all sexual behaviour is good, or non abusive. Clearly some is, both heterosexual and homosexual. But I'm just wondering about how you can make a moral judgement about a sexual act purely on the basis of the gender of the participants. Is this simply because of proscriptions in holy texts, or are there other reasons?

i'm trying to improve my chinese (mandarin) speaking and writing skills. i'm probably at level 2 or 3 following a 4 level chinese proficiency bar.

i can't read the chinese dailies yet, news on tv is a challenge.

i want to find software, online reading materials, as well as any practices you might want to share.

i don't have the time nor the resources to find and watch chinese programs. but if you insist, please do suggest particular shows. i'll try and find them over my vacations.

We all have our new year resolution. There are things we want to change not only for ourselves but people around the world we don't even know. From war to peace. From attitude to habits, From nose to butt lift. From you and me. So what do you think the best thing to change?

It’s NOT the seventies anymore. Let's stop this trend now. If certain black people think they're connecting with their culture by giving them fake names, they're not. They're actually disasscociating themselves from their ancestors if not pissing on their heritage. Your African-American ancestors had names like Sam, Ella, and Dinah Mae and your African ancestors had names like Menes, Suah and Orbour. NOT LaTrina and D'Ronique or whatever. So cut the crap. They're NOT you're culture. Oh yeah, and I think Latrina is Latin for toilet.

And please don’t pull the “slave name” card. After slavery black people still WILLFULLY gave their kids American names. Why? Cause they're American and didn't want to self segregate and demean themselves. They had integrity. So give your child either an American name, or an African name, but NOT a fake name. Self-segregation only causes more racial tension and prejudice. We don't want that. Latin and Asian-Americans give their kids real names. Why don’t you do the same? I’m just thankful my mama and dad were sober when naming us. And I’m proud to be black, so please don’t pull that “self-hatred” card. I’m just part of real black culture and am in touch with my roots, not psuedoblack culture.

For example in both Satanism and Christianity it is wrong and considered a sin to have sex with Animals, and Children. (I think in christianity it says its wrong to have sex with children, however I am not sure, but it is indeed a sin in Satanism.)

If you believe in one, then you really have to believe in the other, not follow, but believe in. So Where do you go if you cannot go to heaven or hell because you commited a sin against both God and Lucefer?

I'd like to know how memories are stored in our spirits after death. Since we won't have a brain and no neurons how will we remember things?

Please, no answers of "We just will." thanks.

how many of you think it is offensive that yahoo will allow the question asked by the so called "President Ford" on this section to remain? how many of you think the question/comment itself is offensive and totally disrepectful? How many of you think that yahoo has gone way too far by allowing this post to remain? i reported it as abuse twice and it is still there. does this seem odd to any of you?

Studies done by the University of Michigan, and featured on the Discovery Channel program, The Amazing Life of the Human Brain, shows that our brains have this capacity. It is based on the average development of synaptic connectors compared to the available room for them. What use would this be if man (and woman) was not meant to live on Earth forever?
