why can't the same states and schools teach the Bible. Give equal time to the Bible, the qu'ran, and evolution.

Seems like a pretty important issue to me. But some say it's the grave/unconsciousness and some say it's burning torture. Seems like the bible should be more clear on this.

How old are you and do you ever plan to have children?
We're seeing 'childless women' more and more these days. I'm 25 and currently live with my boyfriend of one year. And the older I get, the more I'm leaning towards not ever having children. All of my girlfriends have at least one child (they started REALLY young) and I used to feel like I was missing out on motherhood. But now I kind of feel like they are the ones missing out. I don't mean to sound selfish, but with our society being the way it is, what reason is there to have children? I understand that it's human nature to reproduce. But, the children are the ones often left to pay the price.
What do you think about this?

Why would anyone assume just because I, or someone else disagrees with them that it's hate? I see that a lot here, and though I DO see a lot of hateful things, I dont think disagreeing means hate by default. I love a few people with all my heart, yet I dont agree with everything they do or think. That doesnt get in the way of me loving them. No one agrees with me on everything, but I know it isnt hate.

The most popular "hate" argument is that many Christians don't agree with homosexuality. Well fine, why does anyone have to? Does it mean they have to hate them then? Yes, some Christians HATE Homosexuals, and so do some from other religions and Atheists as well. But why assume that disagreeing means hate in that regard? Doesn't that burn any bridges to understanding either side?

My best friend in the whole world is gay, and I dont agree with his lifestyle but I would happily take a bullet for him. Do you think I hate him?

... they wouldn't find themselves the target of so much contempt nowadays?

I mean, Quakers manage to keep it. So do the Amish. We like the Amish and Quakers. Why couldn't the Crusaders keep it too? The Inquisition? Dubya?

So why is killing so easy to justify when it suits you?

NB I'm not accusing all Christians of being killers, because that would be absurd (it's absurd to me that I even have to say so). Only that for those of us for whom killing another human being is ALWAYS wrong, the silence, excusing or justification among Christians on this apparently important matter is surprising. And I wonder if any of them can relate that fact with the lack of respect they face sometimes.

first of all, how could looking backwards at amazing destruction behind you warrant death from god and secondly, god didn't tell lot's wife herself not to look. god told lot and told him to tell his family as well. if someone told you to look backwards because god said so, wouldn't it be understandable, not being told from god himself, but from an imperfect human, that you could be slightly skeptical of a command from a husband, thinking perhaps it could be hear-say?

Explain my work:
As a botanist, I spend a lot of time identifying plants. Often, species of plants interbreed with other species (but only slightly). That is, some species (A) may interbread with Species (B) 10% of the time, but it only interbreeds with species (C) 1% of the time. Why does this happen? What does this mean for the "kinds" that so many creationist point to? In other words, why does hybridization happen?

For clarification: most creationists maintain that species do not evolve. Yet hybridization is evidence that things are always in the process of evolving. In general, species that are closer to one another will interbreed more, those that are less close, will intrebreed less. Eventually, you get to a point in time where the two will not interbreed (like corn and roses) and they are very distinct species (or in this case classes).

I have always loved men. My best friend has always loved men. Both of us have been through a lot of jerks.

We have talked about this several times. We have been dear friends for almost 30 years. If we could only choose to be sexually attracted to each other, life could be perfect. We already love each other. We never fight or argue. Well, unfortunately, sexuality is not a choice so we remained alone for a long time.

BTW, neither of us has ever been with a woman because we are attracted to men.

Chav is a derogatory slang term in popular usage throughout the UK. It refers to a subculture stereotype of a person who is uneducated, uncultured and prone to antisocial or immoral behaviour. The label is typically, though not exclusively, applied to teenagers and young adults of white working-class or lower-middle class origin. Chav is used for both sexes, where a male chav is sometimes referred to as a chavster and a female as a chavette.

It seems to me that they could have chosen a name that wasn't being used by so many people already.

I live in Exeter, UK and and off to join the Navy in the summer after I leave University. I'd really like to get to meet some old veteran sailors who are now living alone or in care, getting to know them and hear their stories as well as giving something back by lookngi after them a little bit or fetching shopping, sorting out bills etc etc.

This may sound a tad silly, but where is the best place to look up and meet such people? Thanks!

PS Exeter is c.1 hour away from the nearse sizeable port and therefore Naval influence.

I'm a Christian but I don't understand why, in Genesis, after Adam and Eve had sinned and were hiding, when God came into the garden, He asked them where they were. Why did He have to ask? If He already knew, why did he ask them where they were?

For making laws such as banning smoking in washington DC, bars and restaurants, curfews, no sodas in high school, not being allowed to say Christmas in school or singing Christmas Carol, for banning the paintings of Jesus in public places, for our phones and emails being tapped whenever the Govt like, for imminent domain, raising taxes, etc. I think America is turning very communist, do you agree or disagree ?
