using there imagination. do they not ponder on what existence actually is or is that just a "waist of time". when ever i ask if they believe in anything outside what we know/see etc.. they often say "whats the point, we will never know"

but i find it fascinating just to see what my imagination comes up with. i don't believe in any religion or god but i do find pleasure in asking myself questions. my brain comes up with amazing images and ideas as to what exactly we have in-front of us. like if there are different dimensions.

like reading about string theory and m-theory just amazed me as a child, the thought that we can only perceive the three spatial dimensions and have only knowledge of our travel through the 4th (time) really opened my mind. there could be so many more.

so do atheists ever ponder over these ideas and enjoy just trying to look into there minds. or is it a waist of time, and we would be better off just worrying about our own little world that we have made?

I have three statues of Buddha, but one of my family members told me that I'd go to Hell for having them displayed. Its not like I'm bowing down and worshipping the statues, they make good decoration. I like Asian art.

So my older brother (He's 17, I'm 15) always has his friends over. They are always grabbing my waist, hugging me, etc. (Nothing over the edge, because if it did go over the edge I would've done something about it) And it really bothers me. I don't like any of them, but I just feel like they are being mean (I'm gay, so another guy touching me is kind of unbearable, they do it so...sexually [if you know what I mean]) My brother lately has constantly been calling me a f** and I don't really care at all, since I'm better than that. I don't know if his friends are just teasing me, because I haven't openly told anyone that I was gay. I'm really not sure if my brother knows that I'm gay or if he's just being a jerk and has no idea I am. Oh-- and my brother never touches me at all, it's only his friends. Can anyone relate or understand how I'm feeling at all? Thanks.

i did although i haven't met many others.i began in the anglican church,had a brief look at evangelicalism and then returned to the anglican church but somehow wasn't happy.
having joined the LDS church i don't meet that many others like me as most of our congregation were either raised within the church (or near-as) or converted to it from no particular religious belief.

Please,no anti-mormon tirades.it can be a bit distasteful.

can any of you good, strong christians out there give me some evidence or somewhere i could go to learn as much as i can about God behind evolution? i do belive that, i just don't have enough information about my own oppinion, since all my teachers at school and everyone at church are all the 7-day-creationist types. you can share ur own oppinions too... but PLZ don't try to convince me that God wasn't behind evolution, or that evolution didn't happen, i get that all enough already and i've made up my mind. thx lots!!!

The petals raised up like 12 flags on a grassy hill
and you swore you could see eyes inside of the center of the flower,
beaming out at you, as if to say
pick me, human, and you'll be cursed
don't you put me in your purse
I'll pee pollen or something worse
let me live or your eyes will burst

I asked this question in the sociology section in regards to homosexuality. I am personally intrigued/bewildered by the number of people who rationalize that homosexuality is wrong because of procreation. I know so many couples that are unable to have children and they are happily married. Also, there are over 6 billion people on this planet and I find it hard to believe that if this number continues to increase that it would help sustain humanity. Anyway here is the link.

I am just curious to know how many African Americans out there still have this whole preconceived notion that lighter skin is better? I never really thought about this or allowed it to bother me until one of my lighter complexioned African American friend came to college, and she said to me that she would never have a child with a darker skinned black man bc she wants her children to be fair. This was like a slap in the face to me, bc I can't understand how someone could be so brainwashed. Then, later in the day we went somewhere and a Caucasian man hit on me. Now, she was literally awestruck when he was interested in me (a darker skinned AA). I told her that color has nothing to do with beauty. For some reason, men or different races seem to be attracted to me and she darker skinned guys like her. She just detests when they show more attraction towards me instead of her. Why is that? Has anyone else dealt with this? All races opinions are welcome.
