Yet, when you look at programmes such as Big Brother, the participants know they are being watched and act accordingly, act to impress the viewer. Act to win the prize.
So why don't all of us lead our lives as if we are being watched and judged and as if there is a prize at the end of the show, err life.

Do you realize how futile it is to quote the bible to atheists? Not just because we consider it bizarre to spend your life worshiping what essentially is just shapes formed by ink on paper, we have no proof of a gods existance whatsoever. But more importantly, in order to define ourselves as atheists and not agnostics we have made a conscious decision to disbelieve the bible, this can only be done if we know exactly what we have decided against, so logicaly, we must already be familiar with the bible

Please do not misunderstand my question. I'm not implying that all Atheists are gay. They're not.

But my point is, the average straight Catholic (for instance) won't question his religion. He's very happy in it. It does not oppose his way of life.
Whereas a homosexual Catholic, feels he does not fit in his religion. It stands in his way. He stars asking "WHY". And his journey ends in either Liberal Christianity or Atheism.

What are your thoughts?
Again, no ridicule intended. I'm a bisexual agnostic myself.

i searched for questions about smoking n there were quite a number. i respect that.
the only thing that i do not understand is that, there are a lot of people with basically nothing better to do with their lives giving unwanted advice and insults to smokers.
i know it gives me cancer and it kills me and everything, but what right do you have to insult my choice of actions.

if i or the person asking the question is blowing smoke all over your face, you have undeniable right to punch him in the face or kick him where it really hurts...
but, the person asking the question is unknown to you, probably lives hundreds of miles away, wouldn't come across you in your lifetime, and you still feel that it's your job to insult him and give your supposedly 'professional advice'.
and geniuses who have figured out that only idiots smoke, to hell with you brainless dimwits...
i'm a fifth year medical student, top ten in my batch, and i'm proud to say that i am happy smoker.

In the book of Hebrews we read of the church of the firstborn(s)... the fistborn ones... in Greek firstborn is plural.

I asked the sincere Jehovah Witness at the train station this morning who was not learned in greek who said it must stand for Jessus, but then took it back when he heard it was plural in greek. So why is the whole church in a sense 'the firstborn ones'

And how many uses of firstborn are there in the New Testament
