When you are at a dance, what is a nice way to say 'no thank you' when someone asks you to dance. I would rather not let anyone else see that I said 'no' or make the person feel bad. Would the same answer apply if they asked you to 'go out' with them? If not, could you tell me how to say 'no thank you' to that too? Thanks!

Jesus - Matthew 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
Muhammad - Bukhari, Vol 2, No. 167 "The sun eclipsed and the prophet jumped up terrified that it might be the Hour (of Judgement)"
*** Clearly, compared to Jesus, Muhammad does not even have what it takes to stand before God.
Handling Satan:
Jesus - Matthew 16:23 "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
Muhammad - ISHAQ:166 “‘You have recited to the people that which I did not bring to you from Allah, and you have said that which He did not say to you.’ The Messenger was grieved and feared Allah greatly.
*** Jesus courageously confronts Satan, Muhammad subjugates himself to Satan.

In the Epistle to the Romans 1:26-27 (TNIV), Paul writes
"Because of this [idolatry], God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
This has been described as "the most important biblical reference for the homosexuality debate" (Hilborn 2002, p.5). It is also the only explicit reference in the Bible to female homosexuality.
However, a minority of more recent interpreters (eg., Boswell 1980, p.109f; Vasey 1995, p.131f) argue that Paul does not have in mind a system of natural laws (as this is an Enlightenment concept) [2] and that "Paul did not discuss gay persons, but only homosexual acts committed by heterosexual persons" (Boswell 1980, p.109).
What are your opinions?

I think we need to be polite to the askers whom we have never met before. I wonder why some don't respect their opinions, ideas, proposals, etc. To be humble is appreciated among educated scholars worldwide. Any ideas or solutions, thanks.

Im an atheist. I'm just wondering with everything thats out there like science, the fact there has been and still are more than one religion, (which suggest its more cultural as opposed to a finite truth), The fact that studies show prayer has no effect. Applying your life to a book that was written by a bunch of virtually non - educated (in the modern sense) at a time that history has shown there were many so called saviors or profits (people who have no education are usually much more gullible i guess) doesn't seem rational. Im not saying that there are no good points in religion but there have also been as equal or more bad points - like hating those who dont believe in you god and then killing them ;).
Basically i'm thinking this; why do you think your so special for believing in something that really can't stand on evidence; i.e faith? Why would God do that? It's really not efficient if God does want to prove God exist.

I dont like that many black people. I dont have any black friends.
I don't know what it is but most of the black people i have met are obnoxious, loud, have no manners cant speak proper english, are wannabe gangsters, drug addicts, act hard and wonder why they get pulled over by the police.
Its not because your black its the way you act!

But I have not closed my mind up so tightly inside a cocoon of ignorance that I can't ask a question about something I don't know about like some of you have. Whether I bealive in a thing or not is immaterial. Now does anyone have the nerve to give me an honest answer. My question Why is it a sin for Catholics to eat meat on Friday. Seems like a simple enough question. Is it a secret or something. Or do you just not know the answer your self Catholics?
