One of my very best friends is in the process of doing hormone replacemtnt therapy. She was born male. I do refer to her as HER. The only thing is that I have not seen her yet and I am hoping to still be the same as in the past with her. I am very open minded but I do not wnat to say or do anything to make her feel uncomfortable. Like I am not sure what questions are ok to ask.

Several religions, including the Catholic Church and the Jehovah's Witnesses, have had many sex offenders among their priests and other leaders. However, it seems they almost always attempt to hide behind penitant priviledge and do not report these accusations to authorities for investigation. Do you think they should be required to report the accusations; and, should the religion suffer civil or criminal penalties if they do not report?

Did Willie "Pete" Williams in any way alter your feelings about the death penalty? Twenty two years in prison & cleared by DNA. A horrible chunk taken out of his life, but he still has a life to live. I wonder what people think, if they would put themselves in his shoes--those people who complain about their taxes (& such a tad!) paying for a person to live in prison, how wonderful that an innocent man was cleared, & not MURDERED which is what the death penalty is, in my opinion. PREMEDITATED MURDER. I anticipate really getting flak on this one.

Why should I believe in Jesus? I know that he definitely existed, no question. But apart from the deeds he is reported to have done while alive (no proof outside the bible), none of the promises he gave have happened. So is he who he said he is. The same question was asked by John the Baptist. Jesus reply was that the sick were being healed and the dead were being raised. But since Jesus death, nothing! Absolutely nothing! Those who have put their faith in him have had no protection, illnesses have not been cured and certainly no one has been resurrected. Quite the opposite in fact. Christians have been tortured, beaten to death, starved to death, and imprisoned for years, murdered or simply live in fear of their lives. Jesus said (I think) look! I am with you always. He also said (Think) Do not worry about what you are to wear or eat, your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. Have you observed the lilies of the field? If He can clothe them which will be cast away tomorrow, how much more so will he care for you?Or,not one bird falls from the sky that is not noted by God, how much more will he care for you. All this is in stark contrast to the reality, from the hideous death of John the Baptist, the stoning of Stephen and the horrible deaths of the Christians thrown to the lions and eaten alive, and so I could go on.
Do I want to believe? YES! I used to. I am now 66 and believe in nothing except there is most certainly a God, but I don't believe He is interested in earth and its inhabitants anymore.

A Christian freind of mine has started learning or getiing enlightened. I am happy that he is losing his faith by my effort. He has started to think freely and logically. Can anyone tell me if he can get The Origin of Species in Internet for reading?

I believe it`s gonna be a religious false christ cult thru the apparations of mary. The muslims and catholics both believe that mary is ok in their eyes of a strong deity to go thru besides the only way which is Jesus Christ. Remember;the only way to salvation is Jesus according to the true scriptures of the gospels. The reason I say this is because in egypt(not sure the year) muslims and catholics seen an apparation of mary and muslims were praying to her like the catholics were. The lady of fatima is the name and the word fatima is an original name from mohamed`s daughter.

Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of any deities. We simply disbelieve one more god than our Christian fellows. That is the end of the debate, really. The Christians that enjoy the same freedom of/from religion that we do have no reason to justify their choices. Blaming these people in this forum for a bloody and violent past is a lame attempt at discrediting their integrity. My grandfather beat his wife, this does not logically suggest that all grandsons are guilty of beating their wives. Some are, most are not. Although many Christians have an excellent record of placing representatives of their views in our three branches of government does not mean that all Christians are hoping to turn America into a theocracy. Insulting people for their beliefs by asking juvenile questions, ant proposing sophmoric logic statement is embarassing. The childness of most atheists in this community is insulting to the majority of atheist that think, feel, and act.

It seems that most straight and gay people feel that you cannot honestly be bisexual. But is that true? If I honestly think about it I think that it is completely possible(expereince speaking here)
What do you think?

Japan is an extremely small and overpopulated country. I don't see why a decrease in the size of the population is considered a problem. Personally, I think people should be rejoicing!
