Everytime I am filling out any form online, the system always DEMANDS a zip code and refuses to continue without it. Why is it assumed that all internet users reside in a place where zip codes are used? At first I assumed that that specific product was for residents of the United States only, but I have come to find that every online form I have to fill out is demanding a zip code. Why?

Thou shall not murder?
I ask because I tell my hubby all the time if I get some debiliating disease just put a pillow over my head and kill me.
This question is about assisted sucide sort of but more in the essence of would you actually kill that person to put them out of their misery.

Maybe, atheists do believe in God. They say they don't and they tell us they believe in no god, but there it is. Maybe that is their God. Having no God is their god. So they may say they don't believe in God , but everytime they say that they also admit they BELIEVE in no god.

I would like to ask Christians and Jews a few questions for research...

1.) Where in the Bible might I find the verse that states something like "Thou shalt not suffer a witch"? Is this there something similar in the Jewish religious book, if so what does it say specifically?

2.) Will someone explain to me the concept of the "confessional" in detail, why is it done, what does confession accomplish, how often is it to be done and so on.

3.) What is the definition of "sin" according to the Bible or Koran or Torah? And what are the "Seven deadly sins"?

4.) What is the concept of forgiveness according to Christianity and Jews, from God? Meaning, if you ask for it, even with your dying breath will it be granted, if you are honest in your asking?

I know that this is several questions in one, but I hope that for the sake of someone asking to honestly know and better understand, that you will take the time to answer these in detail/depth. Thanks for your time and honest effort

Question: I understand that marriage between a member and an apostate is discouraged, and thanks to my last question I understand why, but is dating an apostate also discouraged? Would this cause problems between the member and her family? What if the apostate were open to possible conversion?


Background: I’ve met the most amazing lady. She is intelligent, beautiful, yet humble and very enjoyable to talk to. We have spoken to each other many times, each time a little more in depth. On one occasion she told me that she is Mormon or LDS and asked what my faith is. This stuck in my head because I can sense that she is very religious and I am not. I believe in or at least acknowledge that God exists and that we should all be good to one another and live by a code of moral values. Even though it is obvious that there is strong chemistry between us, I have been reluctant to ask her out. I believe that anyone I date could potentially become a serious relationship and perhaps even lead to marriage, so therefore I am very selective of who I date. She exceeds every criterion I have by a mile! The only area of concern for me is that I wouldn’t want her to jeopardize her relationship with her family or compromise her religious values. I know there are many silly questions asked on this forum, but this isn’t one of them. Thank you in advance to all who give me a thoughtful answer.

I was raised Christian and was a very active member of the Church. I accepted Christianity as it was pretty much all I knew. As I got older I became skeptical and at times distraught by teachings of the Church, so I went to the Bible for guidance. What the Bible taught me was that Christian theology is an interpretation of the Bible. I am now non-religious. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Here is a link to question I previously asked about interpretations of the Bible.

In order to be mature, dont you have to let nature take its course and just live and learn? Many will stay immature for a while this way.

Now with Anna Nicole's baby? Money was the motivation. The baby in this case was and still is worth a lot of money. So you had guys coming out of the wood works left and right claiming to be the baby's daddy!

I can't stand the actions of Eddie Murphy and men like him who sleep with women, impregnant them only to adamantly state that they're not the father? Or even worse, dead beat dads! I'm not hatin' on Eddie Murphy but I hope Mel B. gets the financial support that's due her and her baby.

Why am I so up in arms about this? A good majority of Black men have this problem of not owning up to their responsibilities and properly fathering their children! You're probably thinking, "Oh kooties, you sound a little racist against your own people." And to you I say ( o _ 0 ) ?! Please don't get me started! Eddie Murphy and those like him perpetuate the stigma concerning Black men who won't father their children or are dead beat dads. That's one of my pet peeves.

I don't really like my voice, it has no expression. atleast thats what my friends tell me. They always say I show no expression with my voice. I always try to show emotion but they say it still sounds the same. What an I do to try to show emotion? Everyone else in my family shows emotion....my relatives even sing, with no practice, and they really good. Singing is in the family but then if it is why don't i show expression? Can anyone tell me how to make my voice show emotion? please i really don't like it.
also could it be from drinking cold drinks? i had a really girly voice when I was younger but now that I'm a fifteen year old guy, i exprected a tougher voice but not as tough asto not have expression

made them that way? If you say God makes a person gay, well I still don't agree, but you have some ground to stand on. I can not rule out the possibility that God can make people homosexual (even though it is contrary to what the Bible says about homosexuality).

Now let's take the evolutionary process. In order for a human life to be formed (naturally) intercourse between a male and a female must take place. This means that two heterosexual people create life. Do you get the homosexual gene from from the father or the mother? If you claim you believe in evolution and the process of natural selection than shouldn't the "homosexuality" gene been extinct a long time ago? The only thing I can think of to explain people being born homosexual (in the evolutionary process thinking) is genetic mutations. What are your thoughts on this?

In an earlier post where answers abounded with superstitious nonsense, I offered myself as a test subject to anyone who claims they can remotely, and by supernatural means, cause physical harm to come to another person. I am willing to conduct an online demonstration, (in another forum since it wouldn't work here; it has to be real time). Come on, psychic vampires, witches, demon raisers, devil worshippers, voodoo priests, psychics, and whoever says they can do it.
I am immune! I have the ultimate weapon against the supernatural. Now answer if you want to take part in the test. E-mail me as well. Using this technology, you can prove your powers are genuine and people can watch as it happens.
What say you? The gauntlet has been dropped.
