I am going to be a surrogate mom for a gay couple. Im always worried im going to offend them if i ask them questions about it...i mean im not trying to pry, just some things im curious about, ya know? Any gay people out here, do you take offense to questions being asked about your sexuality? Also, is "gay people" politically correct? They are from out of state, and i wanted to tell them about this city by me (ferndale, MI) that is very "gay" i guess you would say, high population. But i just dont know how to say that without them taking offense...any guidelines for me? I am going to be talking to these people a lot over the next yr or so, and i want to make sure i dont hurt any feelings along the way.

Its not that they just dont believe in Him themselves. They are desperate to make others loose faith and berate people who do believe in God and attempt to make believers seem unintelligent.

I didn’t think they did. But a while ago, I had one of their pamphlets in my door with Jesus on the front of it! So now I wonder why people say they don’t believe in Jesus.

Humans seem able to selectively forgive most “Sins” easier than they can forgive someone who tells them not to judge each other.
Humans seem able to hate other humans for not believing what they think are the words of god.
So if you believe everything Jesus taught why don’t you believe that “God is love?”
Christ taught that we must become like Children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Children have not learned language, culture, religion or taboos. If someone has unconditional love why would they have to know any religion or scripture?

Mosques that are still standing after natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis. I think it shows the power of God right in front of our eyes. Please share your views but without any disrespectful or immature comments. Thankyou.

I worked for a bank a while ago and I had a customer come to my window and notice I was wearing a cross around my neck. He felt it was wrong that I wear something like that in public, he flat out told me he was an Atheist. So I flipped over a $1 bill and showed him "IN GOD WE TRUST"; asked him if he hated God and felt so strongly about it what on Earth was he doing here. The look of shock on his face as he walked away was priceless (he didn't even finish his transaction). However, the manager scolded me and said "to make the customer happy I should have apologized to him or tucked my necklace into my shirt..." I was astonished... what should I have done?

Alternately, please describe the relevance of natural to the non-religious (atheist/agnostic/etc) point of view.

Why do you think a waiting period and blood test are required before a couple can get married?

Well, he does save everyone regarless of thier religion.......as long as that religion is Christianity.

So Jesus only loves Christians I take it?

If Jesus truly loves everyone, why doesn't he save everyone regardless of thier religion?

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has a Bachelors of Arts in Humanties program that is aimed at making women better homemakers. Terri Stoval, the Dean of Womens Studies at the college said the program is "one of the most challenging, one of the most well-rounded and complete educations a woman can receive."

The curriculum consists of General Homemaking, Biblical Model for the Home and Family, The Value of a Child, seven credit hours in meal preparation and nutrition, 7 credit hours in the design and sewing of clothing, 23 credit hours of in biblical studies, two years of Latin & Greek and some philosophy as the core of the degree.

Some critics of the program have claimed this is merely another way that women are being forced back into biblical gender roles. Stovall answered critics by saying that the program is needed because of "the low standard of family and home life in contemporary culture."

Please share your thoughts on this.
