Society & Culture - 10 January 2007

I was born, raised and educated in Puerto Rico. I was born an American by birth, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territorry and we were granted american Citizeship in 1917 without any requirement to know English. I remember having to learn and said the Pleage of Allegiance everymorning in front of the Flags and in Spanish. English language does not make you American, but your loyalty to the principles of democracy and liberty do.

How did you know you wanted to live out a life of faith and become a Pastor? I'm still rather young, but I feel this intense fire within me, which is my faith & I know this term is rarely used any more, but I feel as if it's my "calling". I'm just seeking advice from any Pastor willing to share their wisdom. Thank you,and God bless.
Additional Details


I am of Lutheran denomination, so yes, female Pastors are recognized. Please don't tell me that it's wrong for women to become Pastors. I certainly can respect & accept your beliefs if you feel this way, but please do not go off on a tangent about that, thank you. Peace.

Obviously the homosx. stands for homsexuality, I just didn't have enough letters to type it out.
This is a question I would really like answered. Lots of animals have both homo/hetero sexual pairings and since humans are animals too why can't we? God says homosexuality is wrong, but look at all the other animals that he created. Why them, but not us?

pay more attention to your type-os and your grammar than the question you are asking. I mean, if I wanted my grammar corrected I would go back to school. They are more interested in "correcting" every mistake you make than helping you with a question you asked. Does this happen to you??

This is something that I've noticed in a few places I've been, so it's not a coincidence. The local GLBT centre gives them out, my campus health centre did, and so does the local sexual health clinic. I've even seen them handed out at the Pride Parade. is it because Lifestyles are cheaper for these places to buy for distribution or is it some other reason? A bit of a strange question, granted, but my curiosity has been sparked.

i bought a male maltese last weekend for $750 from a breeder who advertised on the internet. i met her and picked up the puppy, which is adorable. the problem is that now that she sold the puppy, i can't ask get her to answer any questions for me. i e-mailed her to ask what kind of shampoo to use and a couple of other small questions. she has not called or responded by e-mail. what is a breeder's responsibility after you pay a lot of money for a puppy? (i'm not the type that would bug her to death).

It seems like there are far more gay men than gay women. Why is this? There also seem to be far more male to femals transsexuals than the other way around.

I would think taht there would be more lesbians than gay men since women based on looks...but I guess thats not true.

This was a term that was coined by COLAGE founder Stefan Lynch to describe himself as he was someone who was raised by LGBT parents. Since this is a relatively new term and one that is not universally used by children of LGBT parents, I'm wondering what your opinions are.

I have to say that I'm unconvinced by the godhood of jeshua/jesus, but I found the words of the sermon on the mount (Mathew?) extremely valuable and convincing, starting with 'blessed are..' they form an excellent counterpoint to the laws of Moses 'Thou shalt not..'
That a human being suffer torment and anguish and physical pain could utter ' forgive them father for they know not what they do' or enduring the agony of crucifixion could comfort a thief and fellow sufferer with the words 'this day you shall enter the kingdom of heaven' offers hope to us all..even at the eleventh hour..(at any rate this particular passage has been an inspiration to me). I believe the authenticity of these words ..they are so raw and visceral they could not be invented. I do not know of the the divinity of christ, but surely we should live our lives through his example even as a man?

I've only been here a few days, and though I will admit that I have seen people who are christian (as far as I can know) that ask silly questions, I have yet to ask a question that I wasn't going to take seriously. I am more than willing to discuss your ideas about evolution and the ideas of subjective morality, and even though we may disagree I think that it is enjoyable.

If your enjoyment is derived from asking silly questions about a belief that many people take seriously, then I don't see the point in having this site other than as an ego booster to people who'd rather have a quick laugh and high 'stats' in some silly cyber world.

but maybe it's just my perception. I'm not feeling too well right now : 0

Is there any observation which supports any feature of your theory? (An adequate answer to this question will not be something which is a problem for evolution, but is rather evidence for your theory. Remember that it is logically possible for both evolution and your theory to be false. Something which appears to support Lamarkian evolution rather than Darwinian, or punctuated equilibrium rather than gradualism is not enough. Also, the observation must be something which can be checked by an independent observer.


Is there any observation which was predicted by your theory?
