I recently came out as bisexual, and have no luck :-( Girls just don't seem to be "into" me. I understand the straight girls, but it's even with other bisexuals and lesbians! Maybe they think I'm straight? Is there anything that really turns them off? How can I approach any girl and ask her out, or anything. Sorry I'm a newbie.

Did you know that a nice burial in California costs about 18K the property (depending on how cheap or expensive you chose) and the actual funeral itself. Most people are not prepared or do not buy lots in advance. Have you gone broke paying for your loved one to rest?

Do you think your bible is prefect?

You know, for most of us...this thing is a really great way for ANY question big or small to be answered or to get REAL feed back. But so many losers on here are just haters instead of being respectful and mature even if you do not agree with the question being asked. Or here's a thought, DONT ANSWER if you got $#!T to say. Maybe you arent intelligent enough to be on here. Im sorry, I think a lot of people would agree with me.

Since I was young I always loved discussing religion with others. I always wanted to know where the truth lay. The more discussions I had the more I learned about Islam. More and more I found Islam to be a truly great religion.
In 1988 I went to the United States of America where a new world of religious information was available to me. I found Christianity. A religion that encompassed the greatest number of people around the world. I wanted to talk to other people about it. I wanted to learn more about this religion. That was when I met a Christian group that invited me to their home. They were a very kind group of people.

Their aim was to invite me and my friends into Christianity, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to learn more about this religion. At the dinner table they started talking to us about the Bible, and started to give us some idea about Christianity. The person who was talking had a Bible in his hand, so I asked if I could take a look at it.

I remember flipping through the Bible until I reached an objectionable point. I stopped with amazement! I couldn’t believe that the word of God could have such a problem. (I don’t recall the details of the problem.) I started discussing the point with one of the hosts. A few minutes into the discussion and he was cornered with no way of responding. His face turned red and he got very upset! Nevertheless, every time a Christian couldn’t respond to objections I raised after that, I would either be told that I would have to believe in Christianity, and thus be inspired first in order to understand it, or the version of the Bible I was using was not the proper one for discussion.

So I found out I would have to believe in Christianity before I could believe in it! This was a dilemma! Then I reflected on this situation and with more research on the Christian community, I found that there were hundreds of denominations holding different and quite opposite views from one another. The strange thing was that many members of most denominations were talked to or inspired by God. Yet these messages were contradictory. I couldn’t understand why God delivered a message to one denomination telling them that Jesus was His son and only His son, another that Jesus was Himself, and another that Jesus was neither. All these people swore wholeheartedly they were talked to by God.

I finally decided I should really look at the Bible closely and decide with the power of my own God given mind. I, therefore, started to listen to tapes and preachers, read the Bible, and discuss different topics from the Bible with Christian Fathers, Brothers, Preachers, and laymen.

As far as the other objection in relation to the version of the Bible, I couldn’t find a real solution to the problem. If I talked to someone using one version he told me to use another, and if I used the other I was told to use another, and so on. I even asked a Brother, my teacher of religion in a Christian university, if he would direct me to the most accurate version of the Bible. He said, "Do you want the most accurate historically or the most spiritually uplifting?" I responded, "If the most accurate historically is not the most uplifting then we have a problem!", and we both laughed. That’s when I decided to use the most common and widely accepted version of the Bible, the King James version. It dropped most of the objections raised with regards to the version.

I was reading into Near-death experiences and when I read this I was rather dumbfounded:

"Many NDE-accounts seem to include elements which, according to several theorists, can only be explained by an out-of-body consciousness. For example, in one account, a woman accurately described a surgical instrument she had not seen previously, as well as a conversation that occurred while she was understood to be clinically dead (Sabom, 1998)."

Isn't this scientific evidence that these people were in a different consciousness? If not, what do y'all make of this?

this is just an honest question, i mean no disrepect by it. i wonder why are you so religious? is that because of your family, where did you get that "faith?" why do you need to believe in a god to set out how to live your life? Is it because you need guidance and a purpose in life?


please no cursing or ignorant talk here.

I don't understand why people do this, do their bathrooms at home look this gross? It sure gets old having to clean the seat off before I can even sit down and do the deed. Is it just them being lazy knowing they won't have to clean it up?

He called the natives "Indians" because it was short for indigenous. India at the time did not exist. It was called Hindustan.

Being pegged has been a fantasy of mine for years, and I can't stop thinking about it. I had girlfriends in the past that did it with me, but my wife is so conservative, that I've been afraid to even talk about it or suggest anything close to it. She does like to play with my ***, but using a strap-on is totally different. How do I get her to peg me? Here's a link if you're unfamiliar with the term.

how many people are getting tired of people hatin on illegal immigrants first of all their not crimals just because some of them are it doesnt mean that all are! second their here for a better future for them and their family. third immigrants do jobs most people are too lazy to do. and if you don't like them you don't have to say stuff about them much less call them names yea they came here but most of them came for good reasons. and im tired of people hating on them. cuz do you really think it was that easy to leave a place were you lived your whole life? why would some one do that? so before you start sayin stuff bout them think about what they had to go through. o and not all illegal immigrants are mexicans so before you start talking get you facts.
