Science is science. It is not your enemy unless facts are your enemy. Things are either proven or disproven through testing. Science does not exist to "attack" your beliefs, science finds truth through facts and evidence.

"you name your emotions, you can tame them, according to new research that suggests why meditation works. "

"Brain scans show that putting negative emotions into words calms the brain's emotion center. That could explain meditation’s purported emotional benefits, because people who meditate often label their negative emotions in an effort to “let them go.” "

In today's Yahoo's Home page the above information has appeared.---What are your comments?

Either you are ALIVE in Christ or you are DEAD in your sin.

Either you allow yourself to be LIFTED UP by God or you bow before SATAN.

Either you will spend eternity in HEAVEN or in HELL?

Which one will you choose?

instead of prayer?

Paganism certainly predayes christianity, so surely they should get the opportunity? And no, no blood sacrifice or invoking of demons....paganism isn't about that.

Would you be against 1 groups' views being forced on all children?

People believe in the big bang and evolution. That stuff is all junk. Obviously there is a God, I mean think about it. How could some stupid chemical reaction create such a complex body and such a complex world. As for evolution, How was the world created? It sure did not come from a monkey. I am a Christian. Don't be afraid to speak what you think but I will stand on God's word I just want your opinion.
Thanks

Do you think it is genetic? I personally am bisexual, which most social researchers say is, in some degree or another, the norm. I'm interested in finding out people's views on what is causing the aberrant of heterosexuality. Homosexuality I see as a higher development of sexuality, as they are able to control their urges and not breed mongrels by the ton, like the heterosexuals do; I'm not so highly developed myself, but at least I'm in the "norm" of bisexuality.

This leaves us with the problem of heterosexuality. What are your theories on what causes this condition? Do you think that genetic treatment will one day be available? Do cultural facors come into play?

Lets hear your thoughts!

I wish I could be upfront about it... but I am always reserved... I refer to my gf as my roommate until they usually figure it out. Or if they ask me point blank about a boyfriend I fess up.

I have a neigbour that is constantly opening and slamming their closets and drawers. When I slam my own closets in retaliation they seem to calm down and then after week it starts again. I try my best to ignore it... Mon-Sat I tell myself its no big deal cuz I have to wake up for work anyway(even through I really am annoyed and am just trying to make the best of it) but yesterday I was woken up at 6:30am on a Sunday. I tried to talk to them at that moment but they did not open the door, I wrote a very polite letter asking them to be careful with their doors and drawers but I don't think they care.

If you knew that your neighbour was disturbed by such a minor thing such as slamming doors, would you try to make it better or just tell them to #$@! off and continue your behaviour. I'm willing to talk to them and compromise such as no slamming before 10am or after 11pm.

Should I expect some consideration or should I just stop caring and start making them miserable too?

For example
eighty, they say ei'ee
seventeen, "sevn' een"
better "beh 'er"

And who pronounces final L's like a W
Will = "Wiw"

The Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation has made massive donations to India and recently awarded 1 million dollars to Thialand as well, (The award is annually given to support the efforts of governments attempting to stop the spread of HIV.) The donations made by the Gates Foundation are intended to stem the threat of HIV and the uncontrolled population growth rates in heavily populated countries.

Do you think this is the right thing to do? Does it offend your religious conscience?

I've accepted the fact that I'm gay and I've came out to 2 of my most trustworthy friends and my cousins. But how do I go about telling my other friends and family members. ex. my grandfather makes fun of people because of how they look or act and I think he might do the same to me if I tell him that I'm gay.

After reading some responses about nursing in Church, I discovered that a majority of Christians think that breasts are dirty and evil.

All Mammals feed their young the same way. And allegedly this was designed by God. I've never seen a Christian cover a dog and her puppies in shame, so why the shame about their own mammary glands?

Where breast created by Satan, possibly after the fall? And did the baby Jesus nurse? If so, does that mean that he was not without sin, since breasts are sinful?
