While I am aware that it reminds and to some extent represents a deeply troubled time for the US and it's citizens, it also represents a great love that the people of the southern states have for their heritage. Right or wrong..depending on who you speak with, I quite honestly feel it is a good thing to remember the past. It should be a basic right of all North Americans to wave our Countries flags first..i.e. National, then whatever state flag you feel is right and necessary for you. In my case, I have the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Union Jack (our British Colonial history), then my Provincial Flag (Saskatchewan) with it's symbol of the prairies - wheat. I wonder when the time will be that all people can simply accept our diversity and our need to express our love and pride in ourselves. Few people mean any disrespect, but rather a love of where they come from.

Every country in the world has had some evil in their history. A flag can, and should, remind us of overcoming it.

How can you prove the existence of God? Isn't he just an idea made up by man for the purpose of having something to live for? believe in? What happens when a person takes his own life? What are the consequences of suicide in both religions?

I've been tossing and turning gay all night and day and now I'm quite edgy. Will a camomilla mud pack calm me?

And my second question is: How can I be more gay today than I was yesterday without compromising my integrity or impacting negatively on the environment? (I'm medium height and my flip flops are so O.P.)

I am now an atheist, but was brought up as a catholic.
I noticed in an earlier question that some people had said that they were once X but are now Y.
I'd like to know what changed you from one to the other, if you wouldn't mind answering.

(My reasons for changing were that I questioned everything (still do), and found the answers were not there for me within the catholic or christian religion as a whole. I am a firm believer in scientific study, theory and proof.)

When Buddha was on his death bed he noticed his young disciple Anan was weeping.
'Why are you weeping, Anan?' he asked.
'Because the light of the world is about to be extinguished and we will be in darkness.'
The Buddha summoned up all his remaining energy and spoke what were to be his final words on earth:
'Anan, Anan, be a light unto yourself.'

In the Apocrypha books, there is a story of some brothers who were all tortured by an evil King, because they wouldn't do what he said. And one after the other, they all "laughed" at him while they were being tortured. Telling him God was delivering them from the pain!
WOWZIZ!

People say Black people are cursed because we are the descendants of Ham who was cursed in the bible.

But if Ham was Black wouldn't his brothers have been Black also? wouldn't that mean Noah was Black?

I'm not entirely sure how to word this. In other words, are these two groups so different, as that one would go to Heaven, and the other to Hell?

so like when a rap singer sings about "popping a cap in some cop's a$$" or "smackin' up all his b!@#%es", and then he wins a grammy for that song, he usually says, "first of all, i'd like to thank god..." don't you think god is a little less likely to allow someone like this into heaven, regardless if he believes jesus is his lord and personal savior?

With or without religion you will have evil people doing evil things and good people doing good things. However it takes religion for good people to do evil things

I think that at least 3 people should have to 'flag' you before a violation and deduction of points is given. As it is if someone doesn't agree with your views they flag you and you have no recourse.The guidelines don't help, even the most innocent remark can be taken to be contrary to the guidelines. Yes, there are some really obscene and offensive remarks which should be banned but how many people here have had violations for innocuous questions or answers just because a sad so and so has flagged them?

They do all kinds of healings on TV, cast evil spirits, cure the sick etc... How come when all those people who are cured are only cured of disease that you can't see with the naked eye? Like AIDS, cancer, pain in the body, things that you can't verify just by looking etc...

Why doesn't God/televangelists cure things that you can see with the naked eye, like a limb of a soldier which was lost in war. This you can easliy see and verify. Why does it always have to be the invisible sickness?

I'm a Christian that bases his faith on the uniqueness of it. I find that the lack of rules in Christianity and forgiveness of the thief on the cro9ss beside Jesus is very unique. However, I have found much doubt in the parallels between Christianity and Buddhism. I suppose I don't know much about Buddhism, but I know Jesus and Buddha were both people who rebelled against their former religion by accepting the poor, and, at the same time, kept the old teachings of the religion. I was wondering, what makes the religions different. (If you are a Buddhist and feel that helping me faith wise would almost be hypocrytical, I understand ;) )
