If God came down and told us all off? You know if he is real. I'm sure we have all done things that God is displeased with, would you tell him you are sorry or would you be indifferent?

My ex husband works for the government and has messed up my life beyond belief. Because of this I am unable to see my friends or family (I have a 8 month old son.) or my fiance. Basically, I am under tabs all the time and on lockdown in a government-run safehouse and they even attached an ankle monitor to me so my movements are always being tracked. I am going insane because I have limited food choices and drink choices and I am getting cabin fever. I really miss my friends. I would like tips on what the hell to do! How do I get food to my house or other things to my house when I'm not allowed to recieve mail... What are some delivery places that deliver to the INDLAND EMPIRE ... clothes/food/cosmetics/ect because I am going nuts and just yeah... So help me people... Because nobody else is in a situation like this I can't ask anyone for help but I wouild appreciate opinions.. Thankssssssssss

How do you say "the sexiest" in German? Not a person, but a thing (the sexiest gift for example, or the sexiest word). if there is not such possibility in German, what word (adjective) would you use to express the same idea?

By the way, how would you say "the sexiest" about a person?

Would you say that gender doesn't matter when it comes to love? If she was still gay and had no interest in any other guys and was still attracted to girls, would it be that unusual for her to have feelings for a guy who had a lot of things in common with her if they were both really eccentric? It's probably rare, but I'm wondering, does that happen sometimes, or is this just a one in a billion thing? Also, would some people think it was strange/wrong?

I kinda feel like I want to be one of the ones that is left behind during the rapture so that I can lead people to Christ. I know I would probably be killed, but it'd be worth it. I would want to see fellow believers rising up with me to defeat the beast. Then, in the end of all of it, Wee would alll be standing at Jesus' side over Satan in victory and those who were once lost would now be found. I really want to stay behind and lead others to Christ, but I also want to live for God. To be left behind you have to be a non-Christian or you haven't excepted Jesus into your heart. I'm afraid that if there aren't any believers, then no one will be won for Jesus. Does anyone else feel like this??

They call it "witnessing", but really it is about peer pressure.

Peer pressure is a term describing a person's changes, or temptations to change, in attitude, behavior and morals as directly influenced by their peer group.
http://www.reference.com/search?q=peer%20pressure

Why, if the belief is so worthy of faith, is it necessary to use peer pressure "witnessing" to get people interested in the "faith"?Wouldn't a "faith" be something people would seek out?And if they seek it out, wouldn't it be more worthy of a belief if they chose it with out people telling them which faith to believe in?

Jesus: Man, Messiah or Fictional

Here is an interesting though. Not meant to prove or offend people.

Throughout the years the thought of Jesus existing has helped many. Given people hope and stopped some violence. Some wish to be like Him and better their lives. Others seek to better the lives of others in service to Him. Sacrifices were stopped because of Him, and happiness has spread across the lives of millions because of Him. He could have been a big hoax, and if He was then that betters my point. Assuming that Jesus was fictional or a man.... and tricked us into thinking He was a Messiah...

Why is it that a lie has done more good then bad?

Should we re-think our whole stand on truth vs lie? I mean here the lie has done more good and helped millions if not billions of people.

So then how can one say that lieing is bad?

(just a thought i am kind of bored and this ran across my mind so.... it may not seem good or well thought out but....)

I love having talks with my man that last all night long but, it was during one of these talks that he really made me wonder. He told me that when he was younger (17-18 area) he thought he was gay. His step-dad ended up finding a the letter to his "friend" and he was busted. He said that he was just confused with his life (he had so many abandonment issues with his father) but later got this straighten out. This is after I had slept with him already and it made me wonder, what if he really is gay but, is just trying to lead a "normal" life? Do you think I'll always just have to wonder? I have nothing against gay people, I just don't want my boyfriend to be gay!

Evolutionary biologists passionately debate diverse topics: how speciation happens, the rates of evolutionary change, the ancestral relationships of birds and dinosaurs, whether Neandertals were a species apart from modern humans, and much more. These disputes are like those found in all other branches of science. Acceptance of evolution as a factual occurrence and a guiding principle is nonetheless universal in biology.
Unfortunately, dishonest creationists have shown a willingness to take scientists' comments out of context to exaggerate and distort the disagreements. Anyone acquainted with the works of paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard University knows that in addition to co-authoring the punctuated-equilibrium model, Gould was one of the most eloquent defenders and articulators of evolution.

I have finally "fully" accepted my atheism in the past few months. It isnt as though I would choose to be an atheist if l had a reason to believe in a higher being. However, seeing that there is little to no proof that there is a "God" figure roaming around the cosmos, I have reluctenly accepted the fact that there is no reason to believe in one... and I now find myself a bit more cycnical.

1) Is this Cynicism a normal tranistion for most atheist to go through, and enventually l will shake free of it?

2) What helps you (as an atheist) to find purpose in life? Or should l just get over myself and come to terms with the fact that I am sitting on a rock in the middle of nowhere.

By the way, I am not married and I don't have children (nor do l want to ne married or have kids at this moment in my life).. So I am keen to quit my job and live out the rest of my days on an Island in Southeast Asia.
