Do you remember when you used to watch TV just for the sake of it (if you ever did) and then started zapping through the programs, because there really wasn't anything worth watching?
My guess is that people are in communities like Y!A for the same reason: They have no idea what to do with their time.
I mean, of course, there are positive aspects to it, e.g. you are active in contrast to watching TV. But it is still far away from LIFE.

So my actual question is:
Do we still know at all what to do with our time?

If the internet broke down for a week, what would all those chatting, answering, downloading people do? Is it easy for you to make plans for the weekend, even if it's going to rain?
What does tradition mean in that regard? Was there more to do, let's say 50 or 100 years ago? Do we still have a life in that sense, or are we just lost within science fiction that became real, meaning that we do things because they can be done, but not because they make any good sense?

He's more asian than anything. He's only 25% african american. I am so tired of seeing articles about Tiger being great for young black kids, helping blacks get into the game of golf, a great role model for black children etc. etc. etc. What about the asians? He's also native american and dutch. Can't he just be good for the game of golf period? Can't he just be a good role model for young people period?

I received two similar gifts on the same day from two entirely different individuals with two entirely different spiritual practices...

Just today, I received a small bag of dirt with soil from the "Holy Land" from my aunt. She said it was blessed by a priest.

Later today, I received in the mail a gift from a friend who lives in Canada, who gave me the exact same thing -- a small bag of dirt, only it's from Tibet, and it was blessed by a Tibetan monk...

I feel very blessed. I sense this is a good omen ... but what could it mean?

They could have represented Chritianity by being more compassionate and less angry. Now she probably doesn't ever want to go to a Christian service.

are similar to those people who deny that we landed on the moon. Despite the overwhelming evidence that both evolution and the moon landings are real things, there are still people who deny these things. I bet these people would still deny evolution even if God himself came down and said evolution is for real.

I'm an agnostic because I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A GOD! We're not fence-sitters or chickens who are afraid to say we believe or don't! There's nothing wrong with having the balls to say I don't know if there's a God!

Besides Christians, Muslims & other theists alike, shouldn't bash us but should be drooling over agnostics! You might be able to convert us! But probably not.

I'm a free-thinker. I've studied many other religions and found none that quite "do it" for me. Especially the religions with the stories that were originally written for uneducated goat shepherds, basket-weavers and brick-makers. Those tales just so,o,o,o DO NOT apply to the 21st century human anymore!

I've even studied a lot of philosophy. Man, does THAT ever screw with your head! LOL

But, to say we are non-committal! That's harsh. We just don't believe in only "black or white." Nothin' wrong with a little gray area! It's like a foot in the door of your mind.

What say you?

They think that matter can make itself, that life can come frome non-life and that everything is an accident!

Let me get this straight. According to Christians, the original sin was never about the consequence of eating the fruit of knowledge but rather the actual act of eating the fruit. Adam sinned by eating the fruit, not because he was filled with the knowledge of sin FROM the fruit. So this means that the core source of original sin is "freedom of choice". That means God implanted original sin in Adam. If you Christians say that humans are borned sinful then we are borned just as equal to the perfect human "Adam", who was born sinful. Adam was not sinful in the beginning but he became sinful. Same for humans, we are not sinning to start off with but we eventually sin. Angels are also born sinful, look at Lucifer and his diciples. They sinned, and so did the perfect creation like Adam. Sin and free will are inseperable. Why? Because even Adam, who was the perfect creation, and angels who got free will sinned. So my question is...

I know lots of people talk about it, and I believe it's theoritically possilbe, just that it hasn't ever happened.

Am I missing something, or is there any legitimate record of orientation being changed?

Okay, lets say you're a man and you're gay (if you're a women just switch the scenario around). You find this great 'man' who just sweeps you off your feet. He just loves you all the ways you dreamed. Then, you find out your 'man' was born a women, who went and had a sex change. Are you still considered gay, even though your technically with a women?
