When you get to a certain age you can do what you want. Just because we consider the INEVITABLE. Have some respect that I got here.

Ok, here's my dilema. I am 20 years old. I live on my own, I pay my way for everything, very independent. I am also pretty conservative in my morals and beliefs. I was basptized Catholic, but am non practicing. Unfortunately, I do not have health insurance. I have irregular periods, and I needed to be on hormonal birth control to regualte my periods. I am VERY VERY against abortion, yet to get my birth control, I had to go to Planned Parenthood, because I don't have health insurance. I'm just wondering if I'm a hypocrite, a sinner, or a bad person for going there. I'm not using the pills as a birth control, it's to regulate my cycle. Also, I've tried gettting on Medi-Cal, but I make too much....even with all my expensies each month....Any insight would greatly be appreciated....

I mean, some people take obvious parables and allegories and interpret them into literal historical fact. They need to brushed up on logic, reality, and the real historical facts don't they?

Ok a few minutes ago I got a call from a credit card company on an autodialer offering me a credit card. Having dragged me out of a nice sleep I wasn't in the greatest of moods. The machine said that if I pushed 1 I would get to talk to an associate for further info. What do you know, but I got a real breathing human being on the other end. So I said to her, " I don't know how you f---ing a--holes you got my god ******* number but take me off your f---ing list right now. She said, "oh you shouldn't say that to me I'm a christian".
I told her I didn't give a sh-- about what superstition you believed in just take me off you f---ing list.
Why did she think that by telling me a that she's a christian would make any difference how I talked to her after intruding on my life?

We had a light snow on Sunday night which melted slowly throughout the day and what was left refroze last night.. There is now a thin layer of uneven ice in the backyard and the green grass is showing through in the sunlight.

It looks like a field of green snowcones.

Have you ever tried a drug or specific drink that you saw someone do on television or in films?

i.e. Have any of you females answering this question ever tried a "Cosmo" after seeing the women of "Sex in the City" drinking them?

Has anyone seen John Travolta doing Heroin in "Pulp Fiction" and thought it looked cool (when he is driving in the convertible after and seems all relaxed and mellow)? Have any of you thought that you might be more prone to try heroin because of seeing this scene in Pulp Fiction?

Do any girls/women think that it is funny when the women of "Absolutely Fabulous" drink and pop pills? Does the humor you see in this make you think that drinking and taking pills might not be as dangerous as people have always told you it is? How about "Karen" on "Will and Grace"?

This is a poll that I am taking for a project I am working on. I appreciate any answers you can give. I will NOT use your names, screen names or ANY personal identifying information in this venture.

At this point, the IRS can fine any church, synagogue, temple, or mosque that supports a particular political party or candidate.

If they paid taxes, they could do or say anything with impunity.

Should churches forego their tax exemption so they can become politically involved without risking legal consequences?

When a child learns about the identity of Santa Claus, that it is the child's parents that are giving the gifts, the child is instructed that now (s)he is part of the game and not to share this info with other children who still do believe.

Similarly, in the course of adulthood some adults learn the truth that there is no God, that God is an invention by early humans as a mechanism of control over other humans, and for control of wealth.

We were not told to "keep this a secret" from others who do believe in God, many of us share the information of the invention of the God concept.

Is the dialouge between Atheism and Theism, in which Atheists talk with Theists, similar to the big brother who informs the little brother that Santa isn't real, and that mommy and daddy are putting gifts under the tree,

and the younger brother or sister says "No thats not true, Santa is real, who else is eating the cookies and read the story Night before Christmas"?

Is this comparison valid?

Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Lutherans, Scientology, Mormons, and anyone else I've forgotten. People say we're all accepted by the same God, we're all following the same Bible, yet I've only seen one church mentioned in the Bible, (Romans 16:16) and it's none of the ones mentioned above, or anything else that calls itself a church.

If you intend to answer this question, can you find any Biblical scripture for its authorization by Jesus, in the New Testament?

in view of the new legislation regarding The Equality Act which bans discrimination in the provision of goods, facilities and services on the basis of sexual orientation in a similar way to the rules on sex and race discrimination.

how will it work?
isn't it religious discrimination to legally force someone to act against there religious beliefs in the same way as it would be classed as racial disctrimination or sexual discrimination if someone was asked to do something against there life choice.

I'm not going to lie- this question has an abortion slant to it. If all babies were planned and wanted by their mothers, and babies that were not wanted, not planned, couldn't be provided for, etc., simply were never born because they were aborted... how do you think the world would be different (if different at all). This is all hypothetical and would never happen of course, but one result I guess I could see would be that there would no longer be adoption agencies. Any other thoughts?

Well not quite,
Short story:Went to Planned Parenthood with my friend. She was getting information. We are walking up the front steps and a man protester grabs her arm and pulls her into a big crowd. I follow suit and he starts questioning us and it was really annoying. We remained mute and he was like a maniac getting angry. So i start arguing with him to let go and he starts making me look like an unintelligent person by arguing facts with me and I couldn;t answer because I didn;t know info on pregnancy things. Then he insulted us. My friend was wincing and pulling her arm away. The guy starts precaing to us saying Lord save you like we are on our way to an abortion-fest or something. well i spotted a couple of officers and motioned them over and I told them that he was harrassing us. The officers took hold of the man and got my friend released from he bondage.He got a nice lecture but my friend ended up with a bruise. Beware the radical protesters.
What you think about it.

Was Christianity in Ireland mentioned in the bible or did St Patrick come long after. Was there any mention of the Celts or missionaries? Basically when was the first mention of Christianity in Ireland?

The sites in the bible and even some of the wars have been confirmed archeologically but none of the actual divine interaction. So why is it proven? Is there something that I have missed?

Why not just make 'em fish....

For some reason it just looks a lot like convergent evolution to me.

But what do I know? I'm just an atheist.

My muslim American brothers! Todays news! Do the events in iraq today make you upset, that more muslims are killing muslims in SPITE of your insistance YOU ARE = peace?
I trust you.
But the evil WE are exposed to is worse than a pig sty. the stench of the islamic law is overwhelming.
You live in America (?) and seem to us (me) to COWER in your freedom here.

I'm not trying to insult any one. but freedom, peace, independance and prosperity has been laid at Iraq's door step by the blood of our young men and women.
The question is " do the events make you upset, that we are failing because of islamic HATE?
