I was watching a movie recently where people in India made a big deal about people from the US and people from California. It made me wonder if other parts of the world think of California as a distinct place from the rest of the United States - even if they know California is part of the US.

Are there any other defining characteristics of what homosexuality is? Is it purely based on your sexual preference?

oh boy, here we go

1)Good morning people!!

2) Well some people are always complaining about fundies, still lately i've seen quite a few devoted atheists with clear anti religious ideas here in R&S! I'm wondering whats the ratio of fundamentalists atheists / total number of atheists. I'm guessing it must be at least as big as the same ratio for Christians or muslims, peheaps bigger.
(By fundamentalist Atheist, i'm talking about atheists with ideas that go against religious freedom. I'm quite aware atheists are not an organized group and i don't imply it any way in my question)

Thanks in advance for the answers.
Please avoid ofensive anwers, ok

Thats it, have a nice day

Paz de Cristo

2 Samuel 12:29-31:

"And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. And he brought forth the people that [were] therein, and put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem."

This isn't meant to be a single quote taken in isolation that's supposed to just destroy the faith of Jews and Christians. That's silly. Go ahead, read it in full context. I honestly want to know what you all think of the passage.

I don't think you should be allowed to choose your religion until you are at least 18. I mean, what if your parents pick the wrong one and you go to hell?

In ancient religions such as Judaism , Hinduism, Zorostrianism and ancient egyptian religion we see many things common :
1) Chanting
2) Lighting fire and worshiping it (yagna of hindus)
3) Sacrifice of animals etc
4) drinking of wine or any other intoxicant (soma by hindus)

Ancient vedic religion had all these, sacrifice was prevalent until stopped by buddha. Jews even today drink wine after religious ceremony.
It appears that 70000 years ago man left Africa and colonized all earth. From heart of africa it went to egypt, israel then Iran then India. It is logical that some people captured lands and stayed and others moved on. These people who stayed called their practices as some religion (as above).
Why so?
Becuz these 4 practices are very common african tribal practices. In interior africa, tribals lit fire, danced around, chanted, drank wine and sacrificed animals, humans etc. Similarity of practices make us think that ancient old religions probably orininated from Africa.

'god loves us' is often said for example-this is a human trait. Why would a human act of worship mean anything to a perfect being who is outside of time and space anyway? Why would human belief make any difference whatsoever to a god? How can god judge us when this is a human trait also!

if god told you he wanted you to come home to him because you were needed by his side, and said that the only way you could do that was to be driving in your car on a certain street at a certain time tomorrow, and you were a single mom of 2 toddlers without any family to take care of them, would you drive down that street, or avoid it? what would be the outcome of your choice to obey god or defy him?

I myself think it's a terrible drug to get mixed up with! I have been known to take the odd ecstasy tab and even smoke a bit of weed. But I draw the line at crack, apparently though all the Irish are up for it!!!!!!!

My neighbour asked me to ask this!

I said "don't be stupid - of couse they have..."

When I reeled off a whole list of things he gave me the reply that these were all "imported" ideas claimed by an American!

Oh and he also said "Don't call them REDNECKS!"
