Hey, so this is a question for women of all races to answer. Show ladies who do you think is the most attractive men of all races. Say for example the most attractive Caucasian man, the most attractive African-American man, The most attractive Asian man, and the most attractive Latino man. The reason that I ask this question is because I would like to know were I should be later on. I AM NOT GAY. I am a straight male and I would just like to know what women would think as an attractive male.

Thank you for any answers that you may give.

I am thinking KJV, but other than that? Any bibles out there not "translated" by people who don't speak Hebrew or Greek, or who have moulded their translation to fit their doctrine?

I was reading my Bible and like I do every day and found a passage that said:

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours"
-Mark 11:22, 24

So I prayed to get a new car, since the vehicle I have now is getting kind of old and I still haven't gotten one. What should I do? I know God's word isn't meaningless, and I know he wouldn't lie to me, so I figure I must be doing something wrong. How do I fix my prayer? Please help, I need to pick up a girl in like, 2 hours and I would to arrive in style.

One night, I was telling my stepdad about this commercial I saw using the word "pancetta". I knew that it was Italian (for bacon) and the (soft) "c" was pronounced like the English "ch". He then told me it was pronounced like the "c" was an "s". I told him that is was pronounced like "ch". He disagreed. I told him that it was an Italian word, and in Italian you pronounce a soft "c" like "ch". He STILL disagreed. Obviously, I wasn't going to get anywhere so I changed the subject.

My question is, has something like this happened to you, where someone disagreed with you on language issues, thinking they were correct and trying to convince you that they were right even though you knew that you were right? What happened? What word/phrase/etc. was it?

I was raised in a Christian family, and was always taught that sex before marriage was wrong. I messed up along the way, and have had multiple sexual partners -- that being said, i have recently began attending church again, and want to get my life back on the Christian path I'm meant to follow. My boyfriend and I have talked about it, and agreed to abstain from sex until we are married (Yes, we've had sex before...I'm 21 and he's 25). Anyway, how far is too far? I know vaginal intercourse and oral sex are out of the question - but what else? Is it impossible to have any kind of physical touch in our relationship other than kissing? I guess I just dont know where to find these answers or know who to talk to about it -- any thoughts, references in the bible, etc. would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

If the Latter Day Saints (mormons) preach against Prejudice then why are they against a couple of the same sex falling in love and want to be married? If they are sincere and want the same values as other married couples they why can’t the LDS let it be? It really seems so unfair and it makes me so mad! & NO I am not a lesbian.

because I am black. Now I do now that there is a black govenment and that positive discrimination in favour of black people goes on in that country, but this is the problem I don't want to get involved in the politics, i just want to go for a holiday.

I have a few white South African friends who have told me that their families are having a hard time in the country [economically] and I just don't want my colour to be an issue when I'd just be a tourist.

I know that black people may [or may not] treat me ok but i am a bit worried about hostility from white SA's.
BTW It never occured to me there might be issues until a few SA's friends told me about the situation in the country...

I heard a while ago that there are people that believe the disabled are paying for sins or wrong doings in a past life. I forget where.

Anyway, who believes this? Is there a religion that believes this, or are there people of a specific religion more likely to believe this?

I personally don't.

Thanks.

I see it frequently in chat, on message board, and sometimes even here on answers. Just curious to see what the general public thinks of it.

since many atheists seem to base their beliefs on the lack of logic in the idea of there being a God, i wanted to post this question.

atheists claim that their beliefs are the only logical ones, but they still fail to come up with an answer for where humans, all other life, and our universe materialized from -- the laws of physics don't allow something to come from nothing. people say "but then where did God come from?" well, people who believe in a God generally also believe he created everything -- the laws of physics among them. therefore he would've created them after he came into existence, so they weren't in place when he did come into existence.

this is not in support of necessarily a christian god, but rather a God in general. if one was to base their religion on logic, it seems to me no beliefs, including atheism are completely logical. however, theistic beliefs have the most logic behind them.

lastly, if God's existence was so obvious, there'd be no point in faith.
