On a scale of 1 - 10, how factual do you believe the information contained in the Bible is, and why?

Also, if you are a part of a religious faith, what is it, and does your interpretation of the scripture (and your comment on the question above) reflect the belief system of your religion?

Evolution is true, and fairly simple to understand. I've never heard someone who understands it disagree with it.

I read a question about how people feel about gay marriage and when they say "I don't care about that issue" and there were more answers made by gay people who stated they didn't care about gay marriage. One answer stated that her gay brother was against gay marriage all together and the name "marriage" is wrongly used because it involves gays.

Having gay marriage/civil unions voted away from you, is not just about not being able to get married, it's about having your rights, your fundamental rights taken from you! Voted away from you to dehumanize you and to show the gay community they have NO place in society.

This is wrong! Un-American! And plain cruel!

And, there are gay people who don't care!!?? To those who, reply to that.

Will the gay community ever see somebody like Martin Luther King who will take a stand as loudly as he did and garner media attention as he did? Where are they? I read about them in Out and the Advocate, but, where is that one advocate who leads?

I was invited to an end of the T-ball season party for the kids. It was at a house and the kids played with a water game in the back, we had pizza, cake, drinks, etc. Trophies were given, etc. Once people began leaving, everyone else was bolting. Should've seen how fast they went, but my wife, son and I stayed behind to help the host clean up their back porch area, pick up trash, stuff like that. It took me aback to see no one else pitch in.

I can understand if you accidently hit your toe or play golf on a regular basis but for some reason, I do take offense to guys who cuss in front of women. I find this to be disrespectful; men should conduct themselves as gentlemen in mixed company (I'm not saying they should hold the door for women every time they go through an entrance or anything).

Likewise, I find cussing un-ladylike. It's dirty and immature.

Am I the only one who feels this way? Anyone care to disagree? I'm looking for intelligent answers; no smart alecky remarks, please.

or is it intentional?

You can feel 'love' sure but is that really love?

You can help someone out, is that love more real than the emtional love?

Dose this sport seem ungodly or is it ok? Is it any worse than the rest? Should Christians be partakers with such things as this? Putting their bodys in danger, the alcohol sponsers. The filthy talking. (Kyle Petty two weeks ago)

Any Christian scholar of Christian history will readily confirm that after the famous council of Nicea (325 AD), the church of St. Paul (The Roman Catholic Church) selected out of the over three hundred Gospels in their possession the four that most closely conformed to their doctrines. All others were ordered completely destroyed because they were considered "Apocrypha" (which actually means "hidden from the people"). Some of these were written by disciples of Jesus (pbuh), and not disciples of disciples, who had never met Jesus (pbuh), such as Paul. If these destroyed Gospels were not more authentic than the current selection then they were at least of equal authenticity. The church also ruled that all Gospels written in Hebrew were to be destroyed. An edict was issued that anyone found in possession of an unauthorized Gospel would be put to death. Countless numbers of Christians were then systematically killed as heretics and burned at the stake if they maintained their belief in the divine Unity of God and did not conform to the innovative teachings of Paul. It is well known that this practice continued until at least the year 1616 AD.

Fortunately there was one Gospel -that I know of-, which was saved although it does not agree with the teachings of St. Paul, this Gospel is the Gospel of Barnabas, there is one copy of it in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and another one in the British museum. A new printing has been made off of these copies and it is available today. This Gospel agrees with the Quran and mentions Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by name.

Some quotations from the Gospel of Barnabas:

In reply to a question by Philip, Prophet Jesus said: "God alone hath no equal. He hath had no beginning, nor will he ever have a end, ... He hath no sons, nor brethern, nor companions." (Gospel of Barnabas: 17).

"... Verily ye have erred greatly, O Israelites, in calling me, a man, your God. ... I confess before heaven, ... that I am a stranger to all that ye have said; seeing that I am man, born of a mortal woman, subject to the judgment of God, suffering the miseries of eating and sleeping, of cold and heat, like other men, Whereupon when God shall come to judge, my words like a sword shall pierce each one (of them) that believe me to be more than man," (Gospel of Barnabas: 93).

My manager at a small restraunt is really friendly one day and wants to be everyone's friend and then the next day he is a real jerk and will follow the servers around just to find something to yell about.

When he is in a good mood though he is a little too friendly. He feels he needs to be touching me or extremely close to me to talk to me. One time he even cornored me and bit me ear. The problem is I don't want to say anything to him that is going to make my job difficult there. I also don't want him to reverse into jerk mode either. I've tried a couple times to laugh it off and tell him my boyfriend would be upset but it hasn't gotten through.

What can I say to him to let him know that I don't like him getting so close without making it into a bigger deal than it has to be? Also, please don't say report it because sexual harassment cases protect the harasser not the harassed and that is not an option for me. Thank you.

I am talking the very old Irish religion(s) not Wicca (Nothing against Wiccans) I want to know about the old magick (Termed witchcraft) I am curious about my ancient Irish Heritage, so I want to know what the religion was like. Also does anybody in Ireland still follow these traditions? If so about how many? Does anybody practice these beliefs anymore? Is the Irish Religion the same as the Scottish and English and other areas around there? Is it the Druid religion? (I don't know much about Druids, so if it was the Druid religion please etill inform me.)

People with amnesia who don't care about some of their family and friends burning in hell? I guess it won't matter since they'll have no memories of these people (no aunt Diana the prostitute, cousin Amber the stripper, or uncle Dave the atheist). Their sinning loved ones will be in hell. Who cares, the non-sinners will have a comfortable spot in heaven. They'll only have good memories in heaven, right? Does that makes sense? Why is God letting so many cold and selfish people in heaven?

My wife says I'm "lazy" because I don't want to cut the grass, use the edger and weedeater.

I disagree. I would say that in order to be lazy, I would have to expect to get the same results for less effort. That's not true of me at all - I'm perfectly willing to accept having a yard that isn't the nicest in the neighborhood if it means I have more free time.

I'm willing to mow when it gets really long - I don't want to have the yard where the neighbors get together for an intervention. But I don't think we have to worry about edging and all that stuff - nobody is going to knock on the door and complain that we need to edge.

So is it still lazy if you're willing to accept the lowered standards?
