Picture the Scene - down town Nowhere Ville and you have just nipped out to the Kwiki Mart for 2 pints of Milk & a Loaf ...and the Locals are letting off steam - rattling off their AK47's in the air....
Is this Civilised Human Interaction - or a sign of madness..

This is a question mainly for religionists but if you're an atheist or Pagan or whatever have at it...

Some Christians argue that your first kiss should come at the altar. Others argue that as long as you keep your clothes on it's permitted. So, please state your denomination and tell me: how far can a couple go before marriage?

(My opinion: I believe that couple ideally should not even kiss before marriage *gasp*...BUT...a couple that does choose to kiss is probably fine as long as they refrain from sex and, um, fondling.

Do you think that it could be that the basis for their beliefs?? Judiasm may be based on its unique historical event of a divine revelation experienced by the entire nation, whereas Islam is based on the prophetic claims of a single individual who subsequeltly convinced others to follow his ways. (and when they did not, or do not; he killed them, or his followers must kill them.)
Do you agree with my excerpt????

RRRRRRRRrrrrr i'm mad jealous. You gay guys are lucky.

If you can't put your foot down and make a decision to start or stop doing something any other time during the year what makes you think you can do it on New Year's Eve/Day?

As the title implies, is being gay really a choice?

Now I know that some cases really ARE just for lust or ARE a choice, but what about the rest? Who SAYS a homosexual can't love like heteros can?

Here's my reasoning, feel free to pick away and expose flaws.

There are proven cases of homosexuality in animals, who have NO free will according to the bible. (Somewhere in Genesis, I'll find the link in a moment).

Now why is it so hard to think that it ISN'T a choice for some people?

Go ahead Christian-tell me why YOUR Jesus-is not a bastard son of God! She was not married at the time of conception-she was not married to God-She did not consent-and according to the laws she was a minor-Different times and different people you say-Well then Saddam Hussein was Legal to protect himself from PEOPLE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT-What is JUSTICE then but a manmade way of trying to find the truth and sanity of existance-so what is religion? A Lie that tries to convert men into following guidelines using a higher power to incorporate the LAW.

Ok, well i've just found that im bisexual, and possibly more attracted to females? I mean, its no so much the sex but i find us females are more understanding and not sex orientated, well the problem that i have is how the hell do i tell my parents? I'm 16) None of my family know and im sure they dont even have a hunch because i still like girly things like shopping, makeup, it's not like i want to be a male, im happy as a female doing feminine things. Do you guys think maybe it's just a phase because of bad experiences with males..but i still have crushes on guys? HELP!
Ok, im sidetracking .. well i know my mother wouldn't have a problem with it (hopefully) but I know my dad will,... well i did find some of his magazines with lesbians... but how will he react if his daughter is one? hope there are dads out there who can answer too.
So DADS out there, how would you react?
BROTHERS too?



Thanks so much in advance.

President Jefferson studied the Quran in order to understand why Muslims were attacking American ships. Jefferson and Adams concluded that Islam was based on a violent and intolerant doctrine which gave rise to the unprovoked attacks on American vessels.

So, Jefferson read the Quran and not only "didnt convert" but instead concluded that it was a violent and intolerant belief.

How dumb is this Representative? The record on Jeffersons views is crystal clear.

CITATION -

Adams and Jefferson explained, on what grounds these outrageous acts of unbridled savagery could be justified: "The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of the prophet, that it was written in their koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their [islams] authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners...." http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/35803

I have heard that a black rose means love, for black roses are the rarest to find, just as true love, and that a red rose means death, I belieave because they are the color of blood. Now will someone tell me if this is true? Because to me that makes alot of since, since love is very hard to find as is the black rose, and red roses are very commn, as is death.
