I have never been to a buddhist temple before, but I am considering going on Sunday. It is called Vajradakini Buddhist Center for meditation and the website said it's free and beginers welcome. Do you have any advice?

My closest friend is attending the mormon church and the missionaries goes to her house to teach her about the Book of Mormon and the bible, etc... she hasn't baptized yet but she's planning to do it soon.The problem is that a new missionary came a few months ago and she's falling in love with him. He doesn't know it and she doesn't pretend to tell him because she's extremly shy. She tries (and will always try) to keep ot secret and she wonders if it was wrong to fall in love with him. What can she do? I know (and she knows) that the missionaries are not allowed to have a relationship while they are in their mission, they can't even flirt or something like that, but she really wants him. I really want to help my friend.

I'm sure this questions has been asked plenty of times but:

If you believe there is nothing after this life why do you seem to care so much how Christians, Muslims and whatever other God believing people do
the only answer I can come up with is that you like to feel superior over those silly religious people

For all you spiritual people, how do you get closer to God and spiritual advance yourself into a better person or more God like just like Jesus without the pressures of other christians telling you that you are not a real christian because you do not believe in a God of wrath but a Godof love. I believe in a God of love and that we should be making decisions like jesus and life is a learning experience. But how do you go about being yourself without other christians throwing into your face that everything you believe is wrong or your going to burn in hell for eternity which i do not believe. THat message just gets in the way of my faith in GOd and my spiritual path. What do you do when people are critizing your belief ?

Of all the continents Africa is without doubt the poorest, few countries on this continent are well governed and are generally ruled by despots and the people have been worse off since the end of colonialism, Why is this?

The first recorded use of the word was in 1869 by Karl-Maria Kertbeny.So, how could a word that was not in use during the writing of the Bible be in the Bible and be used to condemn people by quoting the scripture with that word that had not been in use before 1869?Is this a case of convenient amnesia about the original language and texts of the Bible?Was the word added to support sexual repression and then the addition was conveniently forgotten and assumed to have always been there?

Also, the word sodomy appears in the Bible and is used as yet another way to condemn.Yet few modern people take the time to actually learn what the original sins of Sodom were.It was not anal sex.Consider the following (in added details)

Keep it serious please. ;-)

I'm a student of the bible and I would like the opinions of others in this forum so I can check it out. I don't care what your background is, I would really like to know what questions you have about the christian doctrine that you find silly.

I'm looking for good questions and not statements like its all crap - while it is your belief, it is not mine. The basic assumption for me is the bible is true.

Well, rock on!

Please, I am not trying to be offencive. But i was wondering why some people try to claim that dinosaurs never excisted and/or they are a goverment conspericy, when there is more PHYSICAL evidence that they did excist that there is that Jesus excisted?
Jesus has the bible, while we have countless dinosaur remains including bones, foot prints and dung (yes actuall fosilised dino dung. don't ask me how it was fosilised or whatever).
