One of the alternatives I can think of, to dowry problem is conducting simple marriages (low cost why not registered marriage followed by a reception).

Depositing the funds parents want to give them in individual/joint provident fund account and giving the couple right to take refundable loan upto 25% of the deposited amount and spend the interest accrued freely.

This will give financial security parents want to give to the couple.

You may have your ideas – can you share them.

If you want better in sight of human nature one of the sources can be. http://www.righteducation.org/id53.htm

I am very confused I am a Christian, and I believe in God, but I cannot understand if god is so good and we believe in him, praise him and try to follow his ways, why when we need him the most, he is not there. I have prayed and prayed, cried and cried and my sister who I love so much stil passed away. There are otherthings that have happened in my life, but my sister's health was what I really believed he would help us with, but, I feel, he did not, or if he did help I do not feel he did his best. Just asking this questions makes my stomach hurt, because I am doubting god, but I cannot help it. I do not know what to do, I have cried every day for about 8 months straight, I am tired and do not know how to deal with this.

if you see a racist question and you happen to be offended by it, just report it as being abusive. don't give the racist the satisfaction of knowing he's achieved his objective.

I am not sure if I want to join God's Club (heaven) if I "have" to believe. There are a few friends of mine who I don't believe in, but accept them for who they are. Am I better than God to do that?

I feel as though I am a good person with freewill. Isn't that what God wants. Or does he want to "hang out in heaven" with people who are forced to believe in him. Kind of lame and not my cup of tea. I see that kind of aŝŝ-kissing action in the office with the Boss.

This is one of those questions I have always wanted to ask in Catholic school, but was afraid to be beaten over the head by a thick book, in front of the students.

"Right In Two"

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two [x4]

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
over another, Fight...

Angels on the sideline again.
Been soon long with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Cut it all right in two [x3]
RIGHT IN TWO!

Right in two...

Some couples try to add excitement to their sex lives by watching pornography. Would this be sinful? What would the bible say?

I really cannot understand how a guy can find another guy attractive. I mean i say a guy is good looking but i dont think hes hot. i have never seen a hint of sexual appeal in a guy. I personally think that homosexuality is the product of being a social outcast and in some way a mental problem. If god meant men to be gay, he would have given them both a vagina and a penis.

And if everyone in the world was gay then the human race would have ended a while ago. You cannot find any animal in the world other than humans that practices homosexuality. You are making a choice and i will say openly that i do not support homosexuality at all.
