If you say you "don't like religion", a lot of Christians will actually reply "oh no, we dislike religion too -- we only believe in the Truth, because our belief is not a religion but the Truth! You like the Truth don't you?"

Anyone else noticed that?

, when you lie you have made yourself a thief because you stole the truth. Don't say you haven't because you have and you know it!

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21


He that curseth his father, or his mother [A rebellious son/daughter], shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 21:17

God is commanding people to kill the rebellious children who disobey the wishes of the parents in marriage, business etc.

John 10:30 --"I and the Father are one."

John 17:21-23--"that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (Jesus was speaking about his disciples in this prayer)

This is a follow up of my previous question. I just want to know why you people are so crabby? Why do you get all defensive?
I am gay myself, and I think it's Natural, but I don't tell people I was born this way. You are brought up this way.


1-What Causes a Person To Have a Particular Sexual Orientation?

Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors. In most people, sexual orientation is shaped at an early age. There is also considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality. In summary, it is important to recognize that there are probably many reasons for a person's sexual orientation and the reasons may be different for different people.

2-Sexual orientation emerges for most people in early adolescence without any prior sexual experience.

I live in shanghai china now. I can speak and love studying Chinese but i can't stand those people who love studying English. One of the nicer names of these types of people is "English imperialist" you speak to them in Chinese and they respond to you in very (often very bad) bad English. More or less, over here they expect foreign to not be able to speak Chinese and a lot of times are happen when they can't.

I guess I could understand why, for one find a better job if they have good spoken English, 2 its a fad, your that much cooler if you can speak English, and 3 most people have studied it for so long (10 years or more, the rich ones start when they are in pre-school) so why not give it a try.

But frankly i find this very annoying and rude, after all I’m here to learn Chinese. (Please keep in mind i like china a lot, I’m just bitter at the moment )
what’s the English like in Korea and Japan? are you expected to not be able to speak the language? English imperialist? THANKS!

If you were presented with enough evidence to show that what you considered to be your sacred faith is not to be believed, is not the truth, that something else that you might not have really liked, is much closer to the truth, how far would you go to hang on to what you believe? Even if it's not true, even if you can't back it up with any sort of reputable and creditable evidence?

NOW MAYBE YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SILLY YOU SOUND

1. Evolution is a fact because we're here

2. The proof that monkeys and humans have a common ancestry is human's existence

3. I know God is fake because I feel it in my heart

4. Christians have to be evil because they need a book to tell them not to be evil

5. How could you believe in God? IT'S JUST A THEORY
(This is what Christians say about evolution)

6. You may not believe in the tooth fairy but she still loves you

7. I know the tooth fairy's real. Someone smacked me in the mouth and my teeth didn't fall out. She saved me

8. I know evolution is true because the evolution book said so

In parts of Ireland they still say "ye" for the plural of "you". (KInd of like "y'all" in the US.)

When these were normal speech in English, how were they declined? Was it "you" and "ye" as the formal and "thou" and "thee" as the intimate form? When did everything except "you" go out of fashion?
