I just asked a similar question and felt the need to clarify some things...I said in my previous question that it was transexual porn but it's shemale..sorry..I looked at my boyfriend's history on the computer and found out that he has been looking at shemale porn. I do have trust issues because of some things in the past which is why I was looking at his history..anyways, I dont understand why any straight guy would want to look at shemale porn which is why I'm very confused on this whole thing. I do everything to make sure he is satisfied and now I find out this. It would'nt bother me so much if it was straight porn but shemales! Yeah it bothers me..Thanks so much to everyone who replies, everything helps!

Hello, my name is Phil.

I was just wondering what your opinions on my question are:

If Atheism is correct, if there is NOTHING after death, if we DID evolve from monkies and when we die we're going to rot...

What is the point of even living?

Why don't we all just kill ourselves now instead of waiting 75 years?

If I have nothing to look forward to, why even bother with life?

Accumulating wealth? What good is it when you're DEAD?

Enjoying yourself? So? You're going to end up DEAD anyways

If God doesn't exist and I just rot in a wooden box, I don't want to waste my time living! Then again, thats impossible because my time is worthless...

But you get the idea; if there is no afterlife, whats the point of living and then being buried?

Does anyone else think this is the scariest forum on Yahoo! Answers besides me? Today is my first day read this forum and I must say I am horrified! I can't believe people actually believe in this stuff! Maybe it's cause I live in a very tolerant area of the world (New York City), but is this truly what it is like elsewhere? People believing in demons and holy magic and spiritual warfare and gods and divine plans and all these bizarre meanings of life calling each other spiritual soldiers...At first I just laughed at these people and played them off as a small minority who was maybe inbred or brainwashed when they were younger (See Jesus Camp, the movie) but now I'm starting to see this infectious virus is more rampant than I thought. Do people really believe some divine being gave us the gift of sex to hold onto until we are married so we can procreate and spread the word of our lord to our children? I mean...wow...I don't even know what to say anymore...This world is f'd

Came down to the earth Genesis 6: noticed the daughters of men that they were good looking.
They are spirit persons being neither male nor female.
But there is no record that any of them chose to live with a man.

People who belive in god where did god come from?
If your answer is, "He has always been there," than why is it so absurd to believe that matter has been around for ever?

to decide how we live our lives. We were bought with the price of God coming down from heaven into a human body and dieing for us. Why can't we give up our old lives for a new clean pure life, where we serve Christ every day!!

Religion is a delusion.The definition of a delusion clearly implies religion.Here is the definition:

delusion /de·lu·sion/ (de-loo´zhun) an idiosyncratic false belief that is firmly maintained in spite of incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary.

de·lu·sion
n.
A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness.

The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 2nd Edition

Doesn't that just about cover the definition of religion?The next step should be treatment, shouldn't it?

I've just read two answers that say we did not evolve from monkeys or apes, but from a common ancestor with the chimpanzee.

If we're going to fool the religious folk, we have got to get our stories straight.

Humans and chimps diverged from the ancestral -ape- stock some time after the Gibbon, the Orang, and the Gorilla (in that order).

The family of apes diverged from the ancestral -monkey- stock sometime after the split between Old World monkeys and New World monkeys (recall your biology classes and the subject of prehensile tails in NW monkeys but not in OW monkeys).

So are we descended from apes? Are we descended from monkeys?

Are we going to get our stories straight? ;-)

Note to the Satanic Evolutionary Conspiracy: you owe me five points.

According to the gospel, God is the one who WARNED people that sin will result in separation from God, and the final disposition in the lake of fire.

It's not God's will that any should perish.

So God is the one who DOESN'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE TORTURED FOR ETERNITY. Not the one who perpetrates eternal torture!

In my opinion, atheists just use this as an excuse for their choice to not believe.

How can they be happy being so controlled? It reminds me of what slavery must have been like 200 years ago. There were no happy slaves just content, but hungry for freedom...

This morning I was at the donut shop and this lady threw her money down on the counter when paying for her stuff. Then she held her hand out so that the cashier could put the money in her hand but the cashier set the money down on the counter. I always give the cashier the money in their hands because thats just how I was taught but I never knew why. Anyways the lady cursed the cashier and the cashier explained that you do onto others as you want others to do onto you and all that good stuff. Anyway, Is this rude and why is it rude?

To believers: Hebrews 5:12-14
12In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Milk is good, of course, as the Bible tells us we all need milk but there comes a time we are ready to move on to the meat of God's word. I have been ready, and some I have learned, but I have yet to learn MUCH MORE! And I am excited for what God has to teach me! Are you?

Anyone else find humor in illegal immigrants who come to America yet still fly the flag of their country of origin?

ex: Illegal immigrants from Mexico driving a hoopty around with a Mexican flag.

Honestly. If your country is so great that you would proudly display its colors then why are you so desperate to live here?

I've heard it argued that an atheist must have complete knowledge of the universe to say, "There is no God" and since no one has this knowledge, there are no atheists.

Aside from ignoring the definition of atheism, what else is flawed with the argument?

Do you also believe that it´s the things we say, which give away our intentions to satan, who can then try to mislead or manipulate us? If yes, could one avoid his interference by not mentionning to anyone the good deeds he plans to do?
