how great the place they live is? I already know my city is crime ridden and dangerous and not a good place to live and I agree that the place the other person lives is a nice commutity superior to where I live but I don't have a choice to live in the other place. How do you let the other person know that you already know what a great place they live in and have nothing against it just because you happen to live in a place that person hates?

There is a great link about this phenomena. If a person (adult) is possibly injured or in crisis, we (the collective hoard) are conditioned to see it as unfortunate. If a kid happens to be among the injured, it's a tragedy. Aren't all lives equally precious? Be they 2 Earth years or 97?

“Color of the Cross”

20th Century Fox just released a movie to DVD entitled “Color of the Cross” This movies goes by the premise that Jesus was really a black man and suggests that race may have shaped the course of biblical events.

Not from a religious standpoint, but from purely a historical view is there anyone who actually believes this?

Why not CHOOSE to be gay for a while? Not that easy is it? Maybe it's because there is no choice involved. We are who we are & we should all be proud of it Why can't a straight person choose to be gay if the gays choose it? Some people might be asking sincere Q's but if you're not please choose to be what you're not before criticizing others PLEASE?

over the years I have asked many a gay person if they were molested as a child.and they mostly were. I was wondering if you were molested as a child. Thanks

Given that the universe is infinite and the energy within it also infinite, I refuse to believe I am not here forever given that every word I utter, every thought I have and the effect of every move I make will never disappear without a trace.

an answere i recieved for my last question mentioned it's wrong and they shouldn't marry because they can't have children. the whole god made adam and eve not adam and steve thing. that is a big argument in the usa right now, weather or not gay people should have same human rights as others. so in saying they shouldn't marry because they can't have kids, should sterile humans not be allowed to marry either? seems like a lame argument to me.....

I don't mean encroaching on freedom of religion in any way. Actively discourage it in a similar way it discourages smoking etc.
(maybe by removing tax free status, educating children on the pitfalls etc.)
Surely religion is as damaging to ones mind as smoking is to ones body.

to her and be engulfed in her beauty? its definitly a religious belief system. Could it be that Satanic spirit will appear like a Siren and decieve you and entrap you as you are taken to hell. rather than be harvested by angels of God.

I mean so much has gone both ways, but i have yet to see a real debate on anything. I always hear about debates on a campus 1,000 miles away, but none that i can go to. I'm seriously waiting for a debate on abortion. Modern embryology has shown conception=human life, so why do they still have abortion for all these girls who accidently get pregnant and not for serious medical reason?

I caught my son with this sexual letter? What do I do?
My son Rajiv had a letter or fantasy he wrote and I found it disturbing. He is 16 years old and he was talking crazy in the letter. He mentioned sitting on his couch nude and masturbating to Hilary Duff? Who is duff. His fantasy was a degrading one as she was calling him all kinds of names as he was doing this. He is such an innocent boy who just came from India. I am worried now. He was talking so bad. He kept saying that she was calling him tiny and waving her pinky at him. What the heck is that? Can someone help me? Should I send him back to India?

I love the show Charmed, but I wonder how real witches and wiccans feel about the show? Do you feel it portrays you in a good, bad or really fake Hollywood light? Any shows or movies you recommend that have a positive witch/wiccan story to it?

Thanks

This is a SERIOUS question, I don't want no homophobic answers or whatever, but I'm just interested why the majority (or perhaps just the vocal majority) have very negative views on homosexuality.

This only comes about because of this news article >>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6243323.stm<<. I asked my mum last night (who is a Christian) if she didn't like gay peeps because of her moral views or religion. She answered because of her religion. So I'm just interested.

If God gave us free will we should be able to think freely and then become athists . But why do'nt you do this? No freethinker could believe in God. If you want to know what freethinking is vist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freethought

For instance, why have the WNBA? Why not just have the NBA and the best players be they men or women could play? In many areas of our culture people have used quotas to try to ensure equality. Why not do this with sports? Why not tell the LA Lakers that they have to have a certain number of women on their team?

I personally feel like women and men are equal in some ways and not equal in others. Women are better at some things and men are better at some things. What do you think?

I am not a professional tarot reader, but I've been reading cards for almost twenty years. I'd like to branch out by reading cards for strangers, instead of just my friends, family & self.

I'll provide a one card tarot reading to the answerer(s) who seems like s/he is asking a genuine question. You'd be surprised how much info can come up with one card.

Please ask the question you are curious about and mention whether or not you would be kind enough to write me back and let me know what you think of the reading. I must be able to reach you via your Yahoo Answerers link in order to give you a reading (no exchange of email addresses is necessary).

Please only serious answerers & please no answerers who just want to state how awful tarot readings are and how wonderful God is, because, yes, I already know how wonderful my God is, thank you.

Bless.

im recording Dead like me and the guy just did it with skank and afterward she did slap him.
That was something Odd I asked, why did she do it. Im thinking its like a jew throwing his shoe over his shoulder, they both might have some symbolic meaning.
like: we had sex, Now get lost, No commitment, no injury, it was fun.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, this just doesn't make sense to me. I understand the whole concept of "I just have faith." What I don't understand is how a rational thinking person can justify looking at the ancient Olympian gods (Zeus, Aphrodite, etc..) and think of those as just stories and myths, but takes the Bible seriously. (This question doesn't pertain to those who take the BIble metaphorically.) In that same position, I can't see myself trusting a collection of sometimes contradictory stories from a primitive, ancient civilization. Moses heard God in a burning bush? To me it sounds just as unbelievable as any other primitive mythology.
