if god loves us all why did he create this world, where there is pain and suffering seems rather pointless.

why dnt we all just exist in heaven and have a bit of a laugh.

is it because there is no God, thats the only logical explanation i can come up wit

Hey everyone..I'm gay/lesbian and I was wondering just a couple of things...I would prefer for experienced people dealing with this matter who are LGBT as well to comment this topic, but of course everyone is welcome to comment..when being LGBT how is it out there in the states when trying to find a job. I'm currently living in Germany. i mean i know there's discrimination of course because that's just how this world is, but how exactly is it? Has being LGBT and your lifestyle ever destroyed your dreams or got in the way of a promotion or gettin a job all together? Did you have to hide who you really were at work even if you were already out? I'm a student in high school right now with straight A's, and I plan on going to U.Va (University of Virginia)..what states do you know of that don't discriminate as much and that are overall really tolerant towards the LGBT community..i'm also what people would refer to as a butch or a stud..so does it make everything 10 times worse??

'Cause that's what you believe if you believe she was sinless.

Also, this comes from a Marion order in Catholicism. If it offends you, look to your own brothers first, don't blame me, the messenger.

What part of ‘illegal’ do immigrants, or the rest of America for that matter, not understand? There is a legal way, and an illegal way to come into this country. You do it illegally, you get sent back…and you don’t think that’s fair?
Did you know that 28% of Mexico’s GDP is based on illegal immigrants here in the States sending untaxed money back to Mexico?
Did you know that 74% of all dept of hospitals in the SW are because of illegal immigrants using hospital emergency rooms? (guess who’s paying for that by the way? That’s right…YOUR tax dollars!)
Did you know that the restrictions on Americans immigrating to Mexico (yes, thousands do it every year!) is tougher than Mexicans moving here?
You may find it odd, but I love Mexico. Their culture and people are rich and their music is great. But why don't you fix your OWN government and stop weighing ours down?

This is a serious question for those whom equate the human life with an animals life. I am only attempting to understand the values that PETA members and those alike subscribe to.
If you believe that the life of an animal and the life of a human is equal why aren't you as outraged by the murder of chickens by farmers as you are by the murder of gazzelle by lions? Or are you? Also, how to you assess the value of an animal? Does a knat or a fly have the same value as an elephant? If so, is your value system based upon the size of an animal? If not, do you believe that the life of a child is just as important as an ant or a cockroach?
Again, I am not trying to mock or trap those whom equate human and animal life, I just wish to understand.

Who are the goodest people(in general)on earth,
i think christians are,especially catholics,followed by other proper religions.

Are goodie athiests real or imaginary considering that athiests have no reason or incentive to be good.
How do athiest know they are good?
If athiests actions are anything to judge them by they are bad,especially on yahoo answers.

Thanks.

I have noticed I have some followers intent on giving me thumbs down on all my answers but I don't really want to make mine private. How have some of you decided? Does it bother you that to avoid trolls, you have to prevent anyone from getting to know your answers? Does it disappoint you when you can't read someone's answers when you like their style?

I'm beginning to think there are two:

One is the Christianity born of the doctrine of men (catholic, protestant, orthodox, etc.)

The other is the christianity based on the teachings of the Messiah.

What do you think?

He or she is not totally discredited? Why do they go on to make other predictions which are equally faulty? Even worse, why do people still follow them when they've been wrong once. I know there is something psychological at work, but frankly, it baffles me.

... disagree with your answers?

Does it bother you that your knee-jerk need to explain away any accusation against your god is -so- predictable it can be used to manipulate most of you into defending one silly position after another, endlessly?

Has it occurred to you how easy it would be for me to slip amongst you and convince you I'm a very devout christian who understands the Lord?

How many others with less integrity than I have already done so?

It could be anyone at all, Someone who despite their belief system, you still hold a lot of respect and admiration for. Me personally would have to choose Francis Collins. He is a Christian Scientist who is also head of the Human genome project. Although he considers himself Christian he still acknowledges evolution and the big bang as fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Collins

Last week I asked if soldiers who have killed will go to hell.. The general consensus from christians is no justified by a variety of rationales most notably they are defending their people, families etc.

Ok so if I can expand the question a little further. Do christians think that soldiers whose armies defend non-christian nations will go to hell if they kill?

i need to find out the efforts and steps taken by the society (e.g. government, family programmes) to show that the society is aware of these teenage problems and have taken steps to handle it.
