Or is it possible for lust to come only after love? If that is the case, how frequently does that actually happen?

What are the odds that you wouldn't lust after your future spouse before marriage?

With the multitude of paedophile cases which have come before the courts regarding catholic priests and the grave damage which this does to our religion both financially and in terms of being taken seriously should the catholic church vet its trainee priests more rigorously.

We catholics should be setting a moral example to the rest of mankind therefore it is paramount that our priests are seen to be beyond reproach in all of their behaviour:

Can can the church tackle this problem?

"Eternity is a long time to be wrong!" All freethinkers have heard this retort, which is a more refined version of "You're going to hell!" This comment is psychotic, in that these blind believers believe there is a "loving" and "forgiving" god person who will hideously punish anyone who dares to question "his" existence. Obviously, we reject such an ugly concept, so this threat doesn't scare us. Also, what if YOU'RE wrong? You have condemned millions of people to hell in your thoughts and words, not to mention that, if you're a Christian, you believe the Jews are guilty of killing God! These are pretty heinous accusations, so you had better be sure that you're not wrong. Blind belief is not a win-win situation. Indeed, it is intellectually dishonest and harmful.

saying that he isn't going to listen to her so about two months ago I stopped asking her to talk to him, I prayed all day Saturday fasting and praying and reading the bible asking God to intervene, and on Monday at 2 in the morning my sister said that she was fast asleep and that she was awoken and that at that time she sent my husband a text message of everything she felt in her heart it was 15 pages long and that she just cried until she finally finished and fell asleep. My question is do you think God spoke to her and do you think that this will make my husband react and see the mistakes he is making?

ME:
1) To love my God
2) To love the sinner and not the sin
3) To laugh

so that mean that a person can commit any sin he/she wants, can steal, can lie. so a person is not afraid of getting punished by the sins he/she commits. since Jesus already died for our sins! then why bother to worry about getting punished for it.

and if christians still asking for forgiviness and repent their sins, then what was the point of Jesus death ?

What makes you pick what you do pick to read?
Favorite parts? Parts you skip?
How often do you read?
What would motivate you to read it?

He takes a break from an eternity in heaven to experience 34 years of being the centre of attention to devoted followers capped off by an unpleasant death.
Compared to the amount of time in heaven, these 34 years dont even register.
But we're told that God loved us so much that he sent his Son to die for us.
I'm just not seeing the ordeal..

I think I can laugh before I read the answers as they'll jump again.
Why are my questions answered by people at a rate of %70 atheists, %30 theists? Regarding the fact that there are less than %15 atheists what does this show to us?
Are they trying to enlighten people because they are very bright (they just happen to know everything without any need to explore) or they need to relax by talking about it?
I AM REALLY CURIOUS WHY?

PS: I got lots of anwers like this. Jumpy answers...

Since every denomination says that the other denominations aren't "true Christians," whilst asserting their own true christian status, does that mean that there are no true christians?

I love true ghost stories and I want to hear one from you. I have several but I'll share a short one: I was at a friend's house warming food in the microwave. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little old man standing inside the doorway. I turned to get a better look and he was small man wearing a brown bathrobe over his night clothes and as I looked at him, he slowly faded away. I didn't say anything but a few days later I called and asked my friend about who had previously owned the house and she said, "the real estate agency." I told her that I was talking about before that and she said an elderly couple that died. I told her about the little old man and she was not surprised because she said that some nights she can feel someone sit on the side of her bed but she can never see anyone.

i mean you hear people complaining that if "two people that love each other, they should be able to get married" am i right? but the same people who say that, are disgusted with the thought would cousins, sibling wanting to marry each other. Or a 10-yr-old girl wanting to be a 20-yr-old man, BUT the society doesnt approve. What happened to the motto? If gays/lezzies should be able to marry shouldnt anyone and everyone? why not let humans and animals marry. So why shouldnt the government open the barrier completely?!?

and another thing..

if a white man wants to become a black man, where are the pills for him to make that transaction? He's a black man trapped in a white man's body, isnt he? Its sad that he was born the wrong way, isnt it? Or is it sad that he is ashamed of his skin color? dont you think that in the year of 2050 you will see freaks walkin around? A kid getting surgery trying to look like a 40 yr old man. It's sad isnt it? But at the rate we're going its bound 2 happen.

This question has been inspired by a different question that I read earlier: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmpjX6kkhTxRwTTHL4MciUHsy6IX?qid=20070809072124AAFA1Tw&show=7#profile-info-YB7pQx06aa

Muslims and Christians both harbor a belief that they each believe in the one true god and have the one true religion and that everyone else is false. However when the history of Islam and Christianity are viewed in the wider context of the entire history of human civilisation, they are actually young religions that arose relatively recently. Sophisticated civilisation has existed thousands of years prior. Muslims and Christians will have everyone believe that civilisation was barbaric before these religions were born and it was they who civilised. However, the civilisations that they destroyed, in an endeavour to convert them, were actually more sophisticated than what they become after. Example Babylonia, Greece, Byzantine, Vedic India, Zoroastrian Persia etc etc etc.

(Since Eve ate that apple.) Do you think there is a correlation between the new and old Goddess and Earth traditions that chose to empower woman. I believe they are gaining in popularity. Do we not create life also? Smug answers expected honest answers appreciated!
