I would like to know. Many people don't know that there are still Catholics that practice the Catholic faith the way it was practiced for about 2 thousand years. I am a traditional Catholic,I don't eat meat on friday, I fast during lent, I recieve Communion on the tongue, and pray the rosary every day. What do you think of the mockery that is the Novus Ordo?

Why is being gay called a "Lifestyle?"

How is being gay in anyway a style of living?

Has anyone ever seen a;

Gay house
Gay car
Gay clothes
Gay house plants
Gay shoes
Gay underwear
Gay food
Gay Income taxes
Gay PTA meetings

Since when is living a life, with all it's everyday, mundane duties, suddenly "Gay" or "Straight?"

How is my being a mom, being a sister, being a daughter, being a volunteer at my son's school, doing my job or paying my taxes in any way "Gay?"

"LIFESTYLE" is they way one lives their lives, the choices they make, duties the preform, the services and goods they purchase, the way the furnish their home and the things and people they surround themselves with.

EVERYONE does this, in one way or another...how is MY style of living my life a "Lifestyle?"

I tend to automatically address women as "love", when thanking them or serving them. Eg: Thanks Love, or Do you want sauce love? I have heard a couple of women say they consider such patronising coming from a man... What is the general consensus out there pls?? . I now do it so automatically and am trying to be nice

I don't want to sound like a freak but when marking a work sheet I marked ahead of the teacher who was telling us the answers and I marked all but 1 out of 20 correctly. I didn't even look at the questions. This happened three times that day varying accuracy from 0 wrong out of 20 to 3 wrong out of 20.

I don't believe that Jesus is God, I think he was either a human being that was just like Rasputin or he's just a made up character to oppress the Jews.

I'm scared to tell my parents that I don't believe in Jesus anymore, how would you feel as a parent? What should I expect?

But you give your answer anyway knowing it is the best answer? You know you won't be chosen best. But should you give the person a star just for asking such a good question anyway?

Can you answer any of these?

Do you, feel blue
When you know the world is chasing you?
And do you, eat glue
When feel like you are breaking down?
Oh do you, stay true
To all those friends who lie to you?
Yeah do you, feel blue
When you know there’s nothing left but frowns?

Ok...so let's get this straight.
The same Doctors that the week previous to the birth had suggested that two of the babies should be aborted (killing them), now use the parents religion as a basis to take them away by saying they are "looking out for the child's interests"?

Shouldn't the parents be given some credit for at least giving the babies that would have otherwise been aborted a fighting chance of survival regardless of their personal beliefs???

Wasn't only because of their religious beliefs in the first place that the babies weren't aborted???

Your thought's please...and try not to have this 'blind know it all' attitude about JW's and make attacks when you answer...I am not interesting in hearing them.

Do you think the parents didn't love their children if they gave the 2 that fighting chance to live?

I mean black south africans or africans have been slaughtering cows for decades.... Now all of a sudden Tony is being kaaked on for slaughtering a cow during his cleansing ceremony. There is no way any black person will return from prison and not have a cleansing ceremony to get out all the bad luck and bad spirits from prison. nor can you just stop people practicing their beliefs. this shouldnt have even been an issue, but because he happens to be a public figure who wound up in jail, they try to find more to hang him with or take him back to prison. if it is so, well... i suppose they'll have to arrest the entire black population in south africa... what do you think?

Do Americans realise how serious of a threat Islam is to Western philiosophy? Not christianity, but fundemental freedom, Islam is a religon of hieghten social status for the muslim. All poeple of the book ( Jew and Christians ) are a protected / guilty social status that must tolerate a daily dosage of humiliation. Such acts as rape of thier wives as they watch, beatings, special taxes, all this exist under sharia for non muslim "poeple of the book". All others, athiest, buddhist, hindu...they are required to be slain. How can americans sit idly by and be fed false information from feminist and Secular progressive about the glory of islam?

I've heard the Lord's Prayer all of my life, and just repeated it because I was taught (as a young child) to do so. It never occurred to me until recently ... just what does this phrase mean? Why are we asking GOD not to lead us into temptation? I'm truly not mocking the scriptures, I just want to know the intent behind this particular part of the prayer. Thanks.

are by Atheists. Why are they so concerned with it? Its the religion and spirituality forum. Not the non-religious forum. Maybe YA should make Atheists their own forum.

I know I am going to get a lot of sarcastic answers.
