If my Mother was white and I do not know who my father is, but I resemble a bi-racial person (and everyone assumes I am black and white) and I have the trait for sickle cell, what race do I tell people I am when they ask? I'm 26 now and this question just keeps getting funnier the older I get. I like to keep folks guessing now...sometimes I say mixed, sometimes I say, "what do you think"...my husband says that I'm confused, but really I'm not...I'm just me!!! However, I'm curious to know what you all would do...for some reason.

I am beginning to wonder whether good reasoning skills are not entirely innate, but require practice. I'm not even trying to be funny or anything--I seriously believe this is true. Of the devout believers in this room, I wonder how many have taken a serious course in logic, philosophy, or mathematics. If any of you haven't, you should go do so. I think it could do some serious good.

Charles could take another name, which is the right of the monarch. Do you think he would do that? If so, what name?

More likely, however, he will keep his name. What will his full name be? What will be the number after his name? (I think its 'III', but I am not sure.

Thanks.

Why, just when you think it can't possibly get any worse, does a dang skunk have to do its thing right outside your bedroom window?

I have a serious question, I am not really sure how to ask it or if I am even asking the right question.

If you are attracted to a member of the same sex lets say a male friend you just meet about two years ago and over the course of that time you became intellectually and physically attracted to this person and yet you've never acted on that attraction as in having sex with the person, but you do feel a strong connection both intellectually and physically with this person, does that make you gay?

Why is this happening to me now when I am in my late 20's and not before. I've never experienced this type of sensation about another man before.

If so, then why do so many young-earth creationists take quotes from scientists out of context to make them sound like they are critical of evolution, like they find something wrong with it or something unpersuasive about it?

Individuals like Stephen Jay Gould devoted their lives to helping us understand more about how humans and life in general developed within an evolutionary framework. He also proposed innovative suggestions which he submitted to the scientific community rather than the court of popular opinion to be rigorously investigated and assessed. Yet young-earth creationists quote him as though he had found fatal flaws in evolution. They do this by taking his words out of context so that their meaning can be twisted.

My main question is this: Can you not have the decency of character and the integrity to not treat the writings of scientists in a way that you yourselves find objectionable when done to the Bible? Be consistent.

When I ask fun questions and am met with a reply like "only one god" or "the only god". How many of you are so loyal you don't even know your gods name?

I not longer believe in God, but I'm put off by the behavior of a lot of atheists. Also, I have no faith in humanity any more and am disgusted by the whole regarding of science as a new religion (i.e., just because a scientists say something is true doesn't mean I will buy it right there; I'm an aspiring physicist in case you were wondering).

BTW, don't tell me to read "The God Delusion". I did and I think Dawkins is an idiot.

How do you reconcile the fundemental claims of LDS?

e.g.
- NO ancient cities found in the Americas.

- DNA and anthropological evidence show that humans came to the Americas from Asia 12-20 thousand years ago.


Thank you for your time.

the theory of being an atheist is that , one must be 100% SURE there is no god.

but no atheist has all-knowledge!

so thereotically speaking, like what atheists like to do, believe in theories, atheists cannot exist! get it?

religion is different. we have the composite of faith accompanied by evidence.


so theoretically speaking, there can never be atheists.

The Jews believe in an external God--some entity completely separate from man--Then Jesus comes along & says that God is within us--not independent & separate--so the Jews had him killed for his blasphemy --So who is right??--the Jews who still insist God is external & separate--or Christ who taught that God is within us??(Luke 17:21-- "behold, the kingdom of God is within you "

Why is it that if someone murders a gay person because they are gay that is any different than some stupid gang banger randomly shooting someone? Why is it that the gay person is treated as a higher class citizen because they are gay?
