I've seen this in a lot of animes and Japanese-inspired video games: a person pulls lightly at an eye socket and sticks his or her tongue out. Is this an equivalent to the American middle finger? How did it start?

i am a methodist christian who believes that homosexuality is NOT a sin. i have been put down for this and i have been told that i am not a true christian for this idea. i know that most (if not all) homosexual people have battled religion in some way or another. how many people changed their religion once they "became*" gay or lesbian.

*i say "because" because i think that you are born being homosexual and that it is not a choice.

Just against scripture and the religion itself, not Christians themselves. I would like to make a list of the arguments that are backed up by evidence. Thanks in advance.

some of the questions and answers that are posted here?

If so...do you think that our offenses can be (subconsciously) transmitted to life outside of the veil of our computers? So much that we show hatred to our fellow human beings who we would have tolerated under normal circumstances?

My son went to Christian Private School at one time. He no longer does. Too much politics. While he was in the school, he gave us (his parents) a questionaire to fill out. One of the questions was; what was my thoughts and opinion of God. The school was NOT happy with my answer.

"I believe God created everything. The last thing God created was Woman. Because when he created Woman, he had created perfection. There was nothing else to create. " I went on to explain that people recognize this perfection with statues, beauty pagents, photographs and paintings of women. There is nothing more perfect, in my opinion, than women.

To worship women is to worship perfection.

Like I said, the school hated my answer. What do you think?

some believes in. I used to be very big on reincarnation, but the way the world is going these days reincarnation is a scary thing because who would want to return to earth with the mess it is in instead of spending my life in heaven with my family forever. here is the question if i do not focus on reincarnation beliefs am i still allowed to think that reincarnation can be real if i am a christian. Not to say i would preach reincarnation because i would not but it will always be in the back of my mind. I would like a answer from all different beliefs of people and no mean answers please.

I am a church choir director (children & teens) with little budget, throwing together a musical and basing it on the life of the saints -- the skit parts will be little vignettes of saints and we'll sprinkle in some songs here and there. The basic plot will be a girl trying to figure out just what a "saint" is, and we're talking living saints as well as dead ones. It'll lead to the idea of the Community of Saints.

There are so many saints to choose from, help! Do you have a favorite?

I'm looking for saints of all characters ... not all were sweet little things, some had some righteous anger going on. Some martyrs, some hermits, etc., and not just the "popular" ones, either (John the Baptist, Mary & Martha, etc.).

So, please give me your favorite saint. Thanks!

There is a rumour going around that if you have no Celtic blood running through your veins and you are pure English you are on the next ferry back to Germany or Scandanavia depending on wether you are of Saxon or Viking descent.

The european parlaiment are about to pass a new law that the Celts re: Cornish, Scottish & Welsh are going to be the new rulers of Britain.

They say that the Welsh themselves have been inhabitants for more than 5000 years, while the English only arrived 1000 - 1500 years ago.

Is this true because being a Welshman I cant wait.

Why is it that everone thinks I should just keep going on living? I have tons of emotional and medical problems now. I just feel so sad sometimes. I have a history of bi-polar disorder in my family & definitely have some of those symptoms. I do not respond well to the medications. I used to be a Christian, but do not feel that I can go back. I truly feel that God has abandoned me. There is NOTHING that makes me feel good anymore and I have a horrible relationship with my family. Also...a good friend of mine killed himself and I'd like to be with him. I am just SO tired.

1 million Armenians have to die so that the Turks could exercise their free will?

6 million Jews have to die so that the Nazi's could exercise their free will?

1 million Cambodians have to die so that the Khmer Rouge could exercise their free will?

You get the picture.

I see lots of protesting that Israel has 'taken' Palestinian land. But do you not find it slightly hypocritical that the Dome Of The Rock has been built on the holiest Jewish site?
I mean, this is the one and only holy site for Jews. Muslims have Mecca and Medina also.
Yet Jewish people are not even allowed onto their holy site?
And even though Israel is a Jewish state they still allow Muslims into it.
Do you not think this is a little unfair?
Not trying to start an argument but was wondering about your views on this matter. Thanks.
