I've been thinking, how ANYONE can really love the enemy... for a while, and got this series of questions.

1. Can you realy hate someone, that you understand?

2. We usually label someone as enemy, depend on what he/she did. Have you ever did something without thinking, then someone absolutely hated it for reason you'll never understand? Could it be what your enemy did to you - that he/she didn't really aware you'll hate their action THAT much?

3. Maybe your enemy got crazy idea, or a jerk, or just twisted person. But... imagine when they were young and naive... They once were so innocent. Throught their family members or bad accidents happened in the course of life, might hurt them so much so they developed twisted personality, to protect themselves. If you can imagine that, can you still hate the person??

My love and friendly kiss to you all~

In the United States, the Terry Schiavo case spurned activism from the religious right to save her. The argument was in part based on Pope John Paul II's statements that condemned her any attempt to deny her food and water as euthanasia. Essentially the argument went that she was entitled to die of natural causes.

What I wonder is this. How is KEEPING her on life support and forcing nutrients and water into her intravenously, etc. "natural"? Wouldn't it have been natural to let her die and let God take her?

I'm not bashing anyone's beliefs. Nor am I attempting to point out hypocrisy although that's what it appears to me. Could someone explain this, please?

If you're an atheist play the devil's advocate. You main explain then why the argument is incorrect.
The best answer will be the most recurrent reason, whatever its quality.

Do you want to be forgiven?
Do you want your life transformed, and made new?

Mans greatest need and highest achievement is for forgiveness.

Admit your a sinner
For all have sinned and fallen short of God's standard.

Believe and confess - If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved - that means saved from eternal punishment.

Jesus said: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

Right now in America people have changed this to "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Now pray this little prayer after me and you will be saved.

Do you see the problem here. The power of the gospel is lost. God is the one who saves not us. Only God can change the heart not us. We have to be broken with a heart of repentance and believe to be saved.

The false gospel going around says God has a wonderful plan for your life. Now pray this prayer after me and you will go to heaven. This gospel has no need for repentance. Repent means to turn from our sins. God will forgive you of anything you have every done no matter what it is. We are to repent and believe and continue to repent and believe the gospel. Salvation is not just like a flu shot. Oh I did that once. Salvation is only a supernatural work of God not a little prayer.

I hear a lot that bisexuality is often regarded as a transitional stage towards homosexuality... but I read part of that Klein book (the part that was allowed to be read in Google)... and it offered the scenario that sometimes homosexuality is a transitional stage towards bisexuality, which as I see it makes sense... (in learning to accept feelings contrary to the norm, you might be more apt to accept all feelings, blurring the gender lines)

I mean regardless of sexual orientation, I don't think anyone could completely rule out the possibility of falling in love with someone of the gender contrary to their sexual orientation..

My question is.. are there any bisexuals who experienced this?.. or generally, what are your takes on this?

The Young America's Foundation recently invited Robert Spencer, a commentator on Islam, to speak at their convention. CAIR, the civil rights front for Jihadist murder inc. send a letter to YAF demanding (under threat of legal action) that they un-invite Spencer on the grounds that he spews hatred and defames muslims.


The director of YAF replied publically "We will not be intimidated by radical islamic thugs. CAIR can go to Hell and take their 72 virgins with them."


CAIR is an un-indicted co-conspirator in the terrorist funding trial of Holyland Foundation and this very day the founder of CAIR has finally been ID'd by the FBI as having attended a meeting with Hamas operatives in a hotel room in Phila. in 1993. Until now we only knew that the co-founder had attended the meeting. By the way, the co-founder is also named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in that terrorist funding trial.

I really get offended to the point that I no longer want to speak English language.

People start imitating my strong Russian accent. I find it to be really offensive and insulting.

I avoid being friends with Americans and I don’t want to talk to them anymore, am I right about this?

Please enlighten how I should continue my existence in this insulting environment.

I am trying to get as many peoples opinions as possible.

Also why after we grow up, learn to think for our selves, and revert back to a state of A-theism we are hated by many of those same believers that once considered us to be brothers and sisters?

I chose Atheism, which is not a religion, rather it is a lack of religion as I am sure that all of you know. I was born into a Christian home and was a Christian. I began to question my faith in junior high when I started noticing holes in the Bible. This questioning turned to doubt in college when I began to see contradictions in the Bible and when I realized that the Bible was at odds with modern science. I then looked to history and saw that Christianity is not a religion of peace but rather a religion of continuous violence. I then started to research other religions. I saw much of the same, an unrealistic stories, hypocrisy and violence. After that I began a deep soul searching, I realized while looking to myself, that I am incapable of faith. To me faith means nothing. I need actual proof. After more thought I realized that religion is a tool used to control people.

Losing my religion was a long and painful but well thought out decision that I have never regretted.
