I recently attended an event in my bf's home town. He is 6'4" and was extremely thin for his height in school. He was a star athelete, but he is 41 now and has a fex extra pounds. He is not obese or anything, he just has that midddle age stomach. He is working on getting it off, but it just offended me when people would comment on his weight. Maybe it was because he was sooo thin in HS,(he weighed about 170, at 6'4") ! But still, if they had commented on a female, it would have been considered rude, so why is it ok tosay something to a man?

Those people that do good get punishment in return, BUT the evil doers get rewards continuously. What is the reason? In order words, the good actions are rewarded with reversals while the destructive and damaging actions are rewarded with fame, fortune, etc.

Christianity is an incredibly diverse religion yet a lot of Atheists here attack Christianity with volatile over generalizations. Not all Christians believe in creationism, that the Bible is the literal word of God, non-Christians are going to Hell among the numerous other assumptions. These attacks only provoke the fundamental Christians and demonstrate the complete lack of understanding of Christianity by many atheists on this site.

What is the point of this and where are the Atheists who are knowledgeable of religion?

Christians believe that Eve came from Adams rib. That seems harder to believe than Jesus had sex with Mary Magdalene.

What do you think?

then why is it there were no fish (or other sea life) skeletons ever found like in a desert?

think about it your a fish the entire earth is water you swim and you swim eventually the flood waters get to the point where we have solid land again there had to be a couple of big types of fish on land at the time god "flushed"(for lack of a better term)

these fish would die due to lack of water and then after years of decomposition would have left a fossil why where they never discovered?

Let me qualifiy that question a bit. I more mean this question to non-Christians who actively mock Jesus. Many atheists and non-Christian theists wouldn't do that.

Because only the most radical of atheists deny He existed, and not a single person throughout history has been able to accuse Him of doing even a single thing that's mean.

So even if you don't believe He is the Son of God, you can't deny His teachings are lovely: be kind, be loving, be forgiving...

So when you mock Him, is it because you dislike Him? Or is it because - rightly or wrongly - you dislike Christians and want to hurt feelings? And some Christians are dreadful, so I'd understand why.

Long question, am sorry, but genuinely curious.

Thank you. x

Jesus said if people had the faith of mustard seeds they'd move mountains.

Anyone notice any moving mountains lately?

Doesn't that mean there isn't one christian with the faith of a mustard seed?

If they have so little faith of their own, why invite me to have as little faith as they have?

I am particularly attracted to Chinese women and had a Chinese girlfriend for close to two years. I thought that we got along rather well. She always called me a Chinese word--sort of like a nickname--which I cannot phonetically spell out properly; I thought it was a term of endearment. One day I asked her what the word meant in Chinese. She sort of laughed and said, "Oh, it means covered in hair like a dog." I didn't say anything, but I always wondered after that what she thought about me, whether she was attracted to me or just amused by me. I had always thought she was rather fond of me, but I was a little hurt when I found out what she had been calling me all the while. Even after she told me the meaning she continued to call me this. I know a lot of Chinese terms are euphemistic, and I wondered, can anyone tell me if this was a general term for white men, or a common view the Chinese have of white men, or was she saying something more personal just about me?

May I suggest the "Sweaty Mexican"?

Easy--here we go:

1 shot Tequila (I prefer Sauza Hornitos, for the $)
1 Tablespoon of Hellman's mayonnaise

Then, all you have to do is toss it in a shaker, but don't use ice. That takes the "sweaty" out.

I was reading through all the wonderful prayers sent to Debra's husband for her. As I was reading YA deleted the question...
I know that he will be uplifted by all the prayer, love and support for her.

Is there anyway to keep a question on for her? Or start a group that they could see?

No one's scared of homosexuals, not like homo"phobics" start sweating in the presence of homosexuals, nor do they wake up screaming if they had had a dream about them, so why the Phobia part?

It's more like hate, not fear.

But how i see it, real men are trying to protect their kind (Humanity), it's only a natural reaction, because if we were all gay, humans would be extinct within 100 years max.

Please try to be open minded in your answers.

Disclaimer: I am in no way "Homophobic", please don't close down my account, i mean no harm in my posts, just a unique point of view.

I've studied Spanish for almost 10 years (via school) and I wish to SPEAK it more fluently than how I have been. I'm not sure what the problem is, but sometimes the words don't come out of my mouth right, or I know what to say but can't force the sound out. It's like I'm stifled. Sometimes I speak well and sometimes not. I really would like to overcome this because I want to be an interpreter when I'm an adult. I want to improve speaking Italian as well. If you would, please help me. Gracias, Grazie.

I think a woman has her own reasons to abort. Some are girls, who can't keep their baby for financial problems, or because they simply need to keep going to school. It isn't right to make a decision for someone. Only they know for what reasons they are doing an abortion. Is it wrong to be a Catholic and not be against abortion??
