Would you partake then?

Don't get me wrong, I am not an advocate of legalising Marijuana at this time as there is no definative driving test to determine how recently someone has used, but I was just curious.

If you don't partake now, would you if it were legal?

Why and why not?

Ok so say when you die you lived a great life and you basically were a good person and you go to heaven say your dad or mom or another loved one or close friend dies and they were bad people and you know they were going to hell ( I know theres no way of telling 100%, but still sometimes you just know these things just bc you knew what kinda person that person was...) anyways and even tho they were a bad person you still love them, so when you die if you go to heaven and they go to hell, vice versa will you ever get to see them again?

anyone with eyes must admit that some of the most carefully crafted, stupendous art work over the centuries is found primarily in houses of worship or in tombs as decorations for the 'gods.' so if you are touring europe, for example, will you bypass a tour of a cathedral, for example, based on its religious significance to others?

do you appreciate art work and architecture of a religious nature less than you appreciate art work, etc. that has nothing to do with religion?

it would be kind of you to give me two opposing examples of art, one "religious," and one not so, for me to understand your point of view. thank you.

it may be a sin or whatever but i dont see your strong opposition to death penalty and your law say "thou shalt not kill"...so if you just ignore some sins why dont ignore others and let people live their life???
By the way death penalty is just the opposite not letting someone live their life and you just accept it.
I always thought that killing was a greater sin than being gay or playing gay or whatever you may say

mormons on here are always saying that their beliefs & scriptures & doctrines are being misinterpreted. i just find it hard to believe that us non-mormons always get it wrong when we read it and understand it for what it is. there always seems to be some hidden meaning somewhere.

Someone (I won't mention who, apparently showcasing someone else's ignorance is a no-no) said the following about "Lucy"
(No I'm not making this up)

"Lucy" has been proven a farce along time ago. You didn't know that? Sad.

Can you believe it? Not only is this an outright lie (It's called Pious Fraud in religious circles and is apparently A-Ok with the creationist crowd) but intellectual cowardice of the highest level.
To that person, I would suggest you take a grade 9 biology course and find out about the Science of Evolution.
Failing that, take a look at this site;
http://www.becominghuman.org/
It's excellent and done so that people with even a rudimentary scientific education can understand it.
Please, get educated. There are enough ignorant morons in the world as it is.

I was raised with the most loving god ever known, it was ALL 100% positive for me so I have not turned away because I did not like what I heard. basically, science has just convinced me that it came from man. after all, its been around for 35,000 years BEFORE CHRIST!!! I believe jesus's intent was right, but maybe there is no "way" other than how to live a peaceful life on earth, isnt that what its really about? isnt that what we really want to know, how to be happy right here right now... regardless what happens after we die. Does what happens after we die really change the way we should act today?

peace and love to everyone

I am not asking whether or not you support these things, but I am wondering if you think they will happen.

Will the Roman Catholic Church...

remove the condition of celibacy for priests

allow priests to marry

ordain women

allow same sex marriage

be more accepting of divorced persons

Do you see any of these things happening in the next few decades?

Here's how I see it

Same sex marriage: you'll never live to see it unless you live to be 300 years old

Women as priests. Maybe one day. There is no major doctrinal barriers there, and if they did it hundreds of thousands of women would want to be priests. They would have to build new schools and seminaries to support the massive influx.

Celibacy/married priesthood. That could still be far away. Rather, you'll have both men and women as priests but they'll have to be celibate

divorce. eventually they will lighten up on this one


What do you think?

There is nothing wrong with Islam, but then why are muslims drifting apart from each oher,doesnt islam encourage brotherhood so why arent we unitedly protecting our heritage and defending ourselves. why let iraq and afghanistan be alone in their desperate times and why only rich in our society are getting rich and poor even poor. though islam has solution for all this and we all know it, then what is wrong with us??????????

this question will surely catch all sort of weird answers especially from people with no knowledge of Islam or Muslims, only knowledge they possess is what media(western) feeds them. still ur HUMBLE opinions r also welcome

"minority"

Definition---subordinate group is a sociological group that does not constitute a politically dominant plurality of the total population of a given society

What does that really mean....I mean, is this country not made up of mostly Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, West Indians, East Indians, etc.

No offence to the caucasions....I just don't understand why in 2007 we're still called/considered "minority" when the majority population is of non-white descent.

i mean they can see that as a sacrifice or a kind of martyrdom...they love us and we mock them...that is what their bible says they must be doing...so christians just accept our mockery and behave humble because i can feel your dislike and even hate and that is not pleasing your god...you have to suffer like jesus did so stop being aggressive with us atheists since we are the ones who will make you gain your heaven, so accept your martyrdom and lower your head...be humble my friends, god is watching!!!

Most of us wish for the Second Coming.

Howlong are we to wait?

As John Milton says, 'Those who stand & wait Do also serve god', do we too serve God?
