Do you believe that all the stories in the bible, like the one about Adam and Eve, are true? Or do you just believe in God and see those stories as symbolism. And if you do not believe they are all literally true, how do you know what really did or did not happen? This is a serious question. I am really interested in your opinions and I am not trying to be judgemental

Life is not great for most people anyway, and none of us asked to be here. Why therefore does god or any other higher being feel they have the right to punish us after we die. Given the choice of a life of not sinning or eternal hell will ensue and no life at all I would choose no life at all, who's with me?

It truly amazes me how so many who have been 'sucked in' and 'deceived' by the false and inaccurate teachings of the catholic and protestant churches, nowadays, so ignorantly, try to hold fast to to those teachings and go on to even help to continue to lead the world astray.

Doesn't anyone know of "Satans' counterfiet christianity," going on for centuries?

Doesn't anyone care to TRULY STUDY?, ... and understand the REAL TRUTH of the 'Word of God?'

So last night I got banned from my local dollar movie theater. My and my friend were going to see the movie Baldes of Glory. When we entered the theater we were informed that a pipe had busted and the building had no water. So they lady at the concesion counter said for tonight only we could go get something to drink next door and bring it into the theater. Which of course is usually a big no no in movie theaters. So I went into to get some seats to watch the flick and my friend went nextdoor to get something to drink. Now next door to this theater is an ice cream shop. So when my friend went in there he decided to get a vannila shake. Seeing as it was an ice cream shop this seemd pretty reasonable to me. So he comes back in the theater and sits down and not my five minutes later an usher walks up to him and tells him he either has to take the drink outside or throw it out. So we assumed this usher had not been informed about the one night only you can go next door and get something to

Great article about how butterflys in Samoa have, within 7 years, come back from the brink of extinction due to a parasitic virus that was killing them. They EVOLVED a genetic mutation that allowed them to fight off the virus!!

Also, for those who say that humans have never OBSERVED evolution occur and one species form into another: Please go read about "goatsbeard", a rare flower that, 100 years ago, was introduced to America. It could cross breed with other flowers, however, its offspring was sterile, much like the offspring between horses and mules are... Well, after 100 years, these offspring began to be able to reproduce on their own, creating two entirely new species of goatsbeard.


But evolution isnt real, right?

I used to try really hard to be the best Christian I could when I was younger (Like ages 8-12) but I could never seem to put up with all the other Christians I met. I quit going to church and associating with them because of the standards they had. Anytime I ever did something wrong they would always tell me that it was wrong and that I needed to repent and all that jazz. I guess they just pushed me too far and I totally started to drift away from all religion. In a way, I want to have some sort of religion and I think Christianity would be nice and all if all the other followers weren't complete jackasses. I also hate the people that tel I see sermons on television, and some of the religious people on Y!A or anywhere I go and they just make Christianity seem like a huge covered-up cult system. So what should I do, take the path my own way, not have a religion at all, or put up with a bunch of flaming idiots that I don't believe for a second and want to make me punch their lights out??

Many parts of the world are having heat waves. We were over 40 C here yesterday. Roughly that would be close to 110F and its supposed to get hotter today, maybe 44C ? We have hit 120F in the past with it going down to 110F at night . (farenheit for American members)

How are y'all holding up in this nasty heat? And what coping methods are you using? Other than Central AC ? Drinking a lot of water.

My friends landlord lied about having central AC - he plunked an itty bitty little AC unit in the window last month that barely cools the LR/DR area.

I am not getting a lot of sleep and have 2 fans blowing on me all night, wake up at 7 AM with the sun beating on the bedroom windows and already sweating -- :-( top floor apt

I just have this CRAVING, MAD INSANE URGE to throw my body into deep cold water and stay there until fall but there are no beaches close by. No swimming pool I care to use. (ick)

So many people are limited in mobility - how are you making out?

Would like to know if anyone has every set up loaner program of Ham radio equipment. For Hams in Nursing homes or living at home. Would be nice to see if we had a system set up to keep track of Hams we don't hear on the air. And to assist them to get back on the air. Or to help re locate their station and antennas if needed from let's say the basement to up stairs living area.

If you never knew God, but you were a good person ( kind to everyone, to tried to be compassionate and understanding towards people, you helped the sick and the poor, clothed the homeless, etc.) would you still go to Hell? Say you never met God and no one tried telling you about Him and His love and for us or about Jesus Christ dying for our sins. You just never had a personal relationship with Him. Where would you go?

Apparently even in you do believe in Christ, you're still in trouble if you aren't part of the Only One True Church.

I'm 16 and a female. Alright, so I've recently come out of the closet to few friends and my parents. I also play soccer and the basically put soccer before relationships, I've recently broken up with a girlfriend b/c one of my teammates came close to finding out.(I know it was a horrible thing to do and I still haven't forgiven myself for it even though she has). I don't exactly know what I want to ask. I guess I just need some advice on how to, I don't know work with my teammates or something. Two or three of them know and are okay with it, but the rest of them wouldn't be so cool about it. I just don't think I'd be able to handle it if I was kicked off the team for being a lesbian. If you have anything that may be to some use, please let me know. Just don't give any crap about breaking up with that girl I know it was wrong.
