I'm asking because I'm a girly-girl and yet I like a lot heavy metal and hardcore death metal music and people are surprised because they assume I listen to Kelly Clarkson or something, just by how I look and behave. Weird.

What kind of music do you like or what's your favorite band and does it fit your image?

Surely they can't be expected to slave away for eternity without a decent benefit package.

This was asked before by another poster. What do you think of the answer that I found? Apparently it only took one Christian, Lewis Latimer:

"...the main weakness of Edison's bulb - their short life span (generally only a few days.) Latimer set out to make a longer lasting bulb. Latimer devised a way of encasing the filament within an cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and thereby provided a much longer life to the bulb and hence made the bulbs less expensive and more efficient. This enabled electric lighting to be installed within homes and throughout streets Latimer applied for a patent for the "Process of Manufacturing Carbons" and it was granted in January 1882. "

You could choose to write as many names as you wanted, and it would be nearly impossible to connect the killings to you. You can also decide how the person will die. Would you use it? Whom would you kill and why?

Not tyring 2 b rude, just curious. Think about it 4rm my point of view. Im a christian. If im right and ur wrong, u suffer 4 eternity and i am rewarded 4 eternity. If ur right and im wrong, we both share the same fate. We both rot in the ground. You guys are taking a huge risk. By being a christian you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Atheists have nothing to gain and everything to lose. Are you that sure that you're right that you'll take a huge risk like that?

This one is for the person who responded to my JW question about windowless churches...

With big fancy windows? Isn't the church you and I and not the wood, brick, and mortar? Not the pews, the hymn books, the pulpit, etc.

Can you imagine if we christians met like they did in ancient times, in homes etc., the amount of money free to feed the hungry, help widows and children, etc.?

It's obvious that the universe has numerous creators!

If you find a watch lying on the ground, you know that it has a designer. You also know that this watch probably has a manufacturer too. And somebody had to get the materials to make the watch. See, the universe is like that! There MUST be many gods!

I hear a lot of bewildering and nonsensical descriptions what family is from homophobes. So I thought I'd ask this question in the LGBT section. What is Family?

Here are a few definitions of cult from the dictionary:

1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
3. the object of such devotion.
4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols

So isn't Christianity too a CULT according to definition?

Agree/disagree: Religion is fair game for for scrutiny, criticism, and even ridicule if warranted, just like any other human construct?

Personally, I'm not that impressed with the list. Maybe the voting should have been limited to engineers and architects.
