For purposes of full disclosure, I want to state that I am a Christian. I recently read a book where the author said that he doesn't think that non-Christians are bothered so much by the fact that Christians sin as by the fact that so many act as if they don't. What do you think of this statement? I just want to hear your thoughts please.

I'm a straight (gee, I hate that term) female and I'm not attracted to manly men, just transvestites and extremely femme/androgynous guys.
( yeah I KNOW! =P )
It seems like they're mostly into other men, are most of them hetero? not bi, but completely staight.

is blasphemy against the spirit something you are constantly doing, is it like saying you cant be forgiven for not accepting forgiveness, or is it something someone does and can never be forgiven for?

... what about religion?

There are Ex-Roman Catholics, Ex-Baptists, Ex-Presbyterians, Ex-Methodists, Ex-Episcopalians, Ex-Lutherans... all have chosen their religion. There are no scientific studies showing that religion is innate and unchanging, while there are such studies regarding sexual orientation.

There are also those who say that discrimination against gay people should be allowed because, unlike race, sexual orientation can be hidden from others. Since a persons religious denomination can also be hidden, should discrimination be tolerated since they can hide their religion from others?

There are laws against discrimination towards a person due to their religion, but these could be called "special rights" since someone could change their religious denomination... if they really wanted to.

Why should discrimination against a person due to their sexual orientation be allowed while discrimination against the individual choice of religion is considered illegal?

This is just a hypothetical situation. Please read and consider the question and the choices before you answer.

You are walking down a street alone in a rough inner-city neighborhood at 10 pm on a Friday night. You see 5 men walking toward you...which possibility would give you the most comfort?

1-The 5 men have just come from a bar

2-The 5 men have just come from a church Bible study

3-The 5 men have just come from a rave or party

4-The 5 men have just come from a basketball game

Please answer honsetly and know that there are no hidden agendas behind this question. I heard this question posed on a talk radio show and I thought it would be good one for YA.

Thanks.

So, I was wondering...do God and Satan use the same contractor? Also, is the guy any good? I mean, if the workmanship is shoddy, I'm thinking that perhaps I'll be able to break out of hell and slip into heaven. I'm just too charming for hell; plus, I'm afraid all the humidity there would mess with my good looks: Jack is just not at his best when sweating.

I think people who rate an answer as "bad" when they have no idea what they're talking about only show how immature they are.
Sometimes correct answers get a bad rating just because some moron, with nothing better to do, decided to be 'funny'.

It's not fair because the person who's asking the question may be relying on that rating to find out which is the correct answer.

Many times the asker is fooled by this and chooses an incorrect question.
That is not honest, not to mention how very childish it is.

When someone makes an effort to answer a question correctly and the question is rated bad, it's very disappointing.

Many people here are not playing, they are being serious and really want to help. But a bunch of idiots won't allow them to do it properly.

then Zeus should be the real creator of all, including but not limited to the Christian God , because it is written that he is the father of all Gods! that would include ALL Gods right??
Christianity is just as mythological as Zeus , we at least know who Gods Dad was .
yes or no???

Why not just create us as free from sin?

If it's a test, then why? If he created us, then why would he need to test us?

It seems like whenever you hear about a person dying of AIDS people assume they are homosexual or abused drugs. The drug thing is understandable because of needles, but I don't see why everyone assumes it is more common in homosexuals than heterosexuals. I only want a reason though. I honestly don't care what your personal opinion of homosexuality is. I just want to know why, so please be nice about your answers!

Did you support the abortions (i believe called partial-birth abortions) when the mother would have a full pregnancy, give birth, then the child was murdered?

Im just interested as to how many people think that is ok, and why.
