or any reward at all really (except for, I dunno, the satisfaction of having done *the right thing)

Would you still turn the other cheek if all it meant was you'd have a bruised other cheek, and not a single thing would be divinely accomplished to assuage your discomfort?

the religious concept of God, the abrahamic God ?
Are you only open to the possibility that God might exist but it is nothing like the anthropomorphized God that religions make it to be?
What kind of concept of God would you be open to believe in?

Okay now the vampires I belive in are based on the book Twilight. They are beautiful and immortal. They can go out in sun as long as it isnt direct sun. [Like they can go out on cloudy days and when they do go out into the sun they sparkle] I would be a vegitarian [only drink animal blood and not human]. So if a vampire like that came up to you and asked if you wanted to be one, would you? I always told my dad 'Oh i would love to be a vampire!' but then he told me what if they were real and if they asked me if i wanted to be one, would I say yes and that got me thinking. I really dont know, what are you opinions?

I am back on Moses again. His father-in-law was a Pagan, yet Moses listened to him when he made suggestions. How open are you to non-religious advice from alternative sources?

If you are a Christian, would you listen to a Muslim?
If you are an Atheist, would you listen to a Christian?
etc.
This is for people of all faiths and those without.

We all know, and I assume all Christians know about the God presented in the old testament. Killing children, slavery, torture, etc., is all promoted by your so called loving God.
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
What is this? This is your God speaking
"Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God." (2 Peter 20-21 NAB)
How come you Xtians ignore this? It is in the Bible.
The God you are imagining is just the way you WANT God
to be, yet He is not.

What is a male debutante called and why is there practically no information on them? I also wanted to know, how rich is the average socialite family (in net worth). Also, do people who come a military background (such as having a General or Admiral as a father) considered to be prestigious or aristocratic.

My co-workers are all from central-america.
They dont' speak much english, and they commonly make comments in spanish to me and my co's.
99% of the time, they are joking around.
I have a vague idea of what they are saying, but I would like to know EXACTLY what they're saying.

I am pretty sure the verb "chichar" means to have sex (roughly translated as to f--k). Am I correct?

Well they frequently make comments like (i don't know the spelling) "Chici-chici para mi?" and "Chiche no chiche?"
They call women "chichadoras" which I would pressume means "f--ker", but is that the same as calling a woman a whore?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

In the last few weeks we have heard about numerous cases of parents killing their children. In the town i live in (jefferson city missouri) a father just shot his son twice and killed him for no reason. A women in the news had 4 babies who they found in/around her home, and another women left her children in a car for 15 hours, while she worked and then when they were dead put them under the kitchen sink and went to arbys. If God does exist, which i am starting to believe he does not, then why would he allow innocent children to die such horrible deaths. Why would he allow that to happen to anyone? Please dont give the answer of free will, thats a bunch of crap. God died to save us, but hes just as guilty as killing as the person who pulled the trigger. I am a emt student and the short amount of time i have spent on the ambulance so far has made me think twice about my faith. I also believe that everyone should be required to take a test before being aloud to have children?anyone agree

My parents tell me this all the time. In a nice way, trying to push me to change. People at work don't say it but i can see they feel like i'm a stupid crap because they all have conversations and i never say a word. I just keep working.

I enjoy learning things. AND doing things instead of talking and talking all the time. But society here in America doesn't accept it. It affects me and i feel like a failure because everything around me is pushing me to change but i don't like being talkative outgoing. i hate that.

Should i just commit suicide? or use a magic laser to wipe me oout...society here doesn't accept me so what the heck am i doing here.

I see many people(often Atheists)say Christians are brainwashed...

What would they say if I said "Atheists were brainwashed to think that God isn't real"?

They would say, "We're not brainwashed because we know the truth"...but isn't that what Christians say?

Hmm....

The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey is actually a pretty good read. I lost interest at the Book of Bilail though because it stops talking about their philosophy and starts talking about magick and rituals and as I don't believe in magick it was impossible to take it seriously.

I am not a Satanist and I have no interest in becoming one, I am happy being an atheist. I was just wondering if any Christians have actually read the Satanic Bible, particularly the Book of Satan and The Infernal Diatribe as Christians seem set on blaming every misfortune on Satan.
