How can anyone assert that life arose spontaneously from non-living matter sometime in the unobservable past when it has already been scientifically proven by Louis Pasteur that this is impossible? Why do some people blindly accept the idea of spontaneous life sprouting up on Earth not only in the absence of empirical proof but in direct contradiction to current scientific findings?

Yes, oh yes..... Im a grandmother to a beautiful 18 month old grandson. Its completely different to being a parent.
Are you a grandparent too?
What do you enjoy about your role?
How do you feel it's different to just parenting?
(Please don't take 'just' to mean I think parenting is ever easy or straightforward!)

I live in a neighborhood that has a lot of big trees. The man in the house behind us has an apparent "dislike" of birds and has no trees in his yard, but bird deterrants everywhere (plastic owls, big yellow balls that look like eyes, mylar strips...)

My master bedroom (my room) sits fairly close to this neighboors rock wall, where he has a large metal shed. Several times a day he walks outside and with a PVC pipe beats the hell out of the shed to scare the birds out of MY yard and our other neighbors yard and trees. He even does it at dawn and dusk, then the birds roost.

I have asked him very nicely to stop and suggested that I don't think there's much to do about the birds and so far, it doesn't seem his method is effective. Short of involving the police, any ideas???

What happens when a person denies their God-given sexuality and tries to live up to what the world expects them to?

Ever heard of Ted Haggard, Jim McGreivy, or Loonnie Latham?

Check out this guy...a Southern Baptist big-shot...married to a woman, pastor of a church ...and he is caught soliciting men for sex?

So, my question is this...is it better for these people to live a lie, get married and try to be "straight"....or would it be better for them to acknowledge who they are and accept themselves the way God made them?

How many people are hurt when these people who are trying to be straight screw up? The families involved, the congregations, etc...

YOur thoughts?

...of morality in theism. Could it be productive to have a "Morality Summit" where representatives of several ideals discuss, debate, and record the morals that they agree on, and then submit that list to the public?

If such a thing became well recognized, it could find it's way into legislation through regular democratic voting practices. Or maybe just tell me how dumb you think that is...

I want other peoples thoughts on this:
-I don’t believe the bible as a divine piece of work but a great moral/ethical guide (but not to base our life on it)
-Jesus may have been real but not the son of god, messenger/prophet. Married Mary(which I thought of way before Da Vinci Code wave) and fathered a child. Died on the cross for what he believe and practiced yes for our “sins” no. Resurrected no, body hidden yes. Divinity later determined by a counsel of men yes
-God, a supreme being, possibly. There had to be a lot of energy released when the universe was created. Beings could’ve been created at a higher plane of existence, to which we can achieve through deep meditation. Could these being have influnced early mankind, yes; thus our ancestors making them gods/ess. And through which man has molded and shaped and thus created the Abrahamic God (only capitalized because its became his/hers name).

I am referring specifically to the latest airline incident in which a stewardess had the pilot turn the plane around & remove a mother & her 19 month old son because (after an 11 hour lay-over) he was talking during her presentation of safety information. This mom found herself & her child being escorted out of the airport by police. Incidentally, her son had fallen asleep from during the time they had been removed from the plane on the way to the gate. He was exhausted & understandably cranky.

I have experienced other instances of intolerance against my son in FAMILY restaurants. I had one woman come up to me once & ask me if my son (who was 1 at the time) had been tested to see what was wrong with him. I politely told her "No, I don't need to have him tested. I know what the problem is. The problem is HE'S AN INFANT!!!"

In my last question I asked if it were possible to convince our children that ridiculous things were true, and we all agreed that it was. So I think that might be fun to try. What should we teach them?
