ok, so don't you think it's a little hypocritical of some christians who believe that homosexuals choose to be gay and they believe they are (which we don't choose btw) when their religion is based simply on faith without any logical reasoning or proof. even if people chose to be attracted to members of the same sex, at least they have something to back it up: that one likes to have a relationship with one of the same sex. while christians say there is a god without anything to back it up except for the bible. and that doesn't do anything, if i wrote on a piece of paper that monkeys can fly doesn't make it true. i know this question is hard to understand because it's hard to compare the two subjects.

I dont agree or condone what happened in columbine or virgina tech but i do think they need to deal with the social class system
among teenagers in high school> And start making every kid that they all have feelings and emotions and that to grow up
Listen u can tell a child that it will be ok and brush it off but if it happens every day every week something has to be done before that child takes it into his own hands people can only take so much

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like I'm swimming around in a toilet-bowl full of sh**, and that the harder I try to understand the truth about life, and the meaning of it, the more confused I become. It's like someone just keeps dumping and not bothering to flush. How about you? Do you think earth is a giant loo? How is anyone supposed to figure out the truth with so many theories and ideologies floating around in this bowl? And what kind of loving 'God' would condemn any one of us for not figuring it out?

in the torah there are laws regarding what is kosher (allowable to be eaten). seeing as the torah was written 4000 years agon it a world that barely existed beyond asia and africa dont you find inexplicably odd that no new kosher animals have been discovered. how is it possible that ever kosher animal at that time was already known when an entire half a world had not been explored. no new animals that only chew their cud and no new animals that only have split hooves have been discovered in 4000 years. kind of odd dont u think.

OK.. so maybe my last question was a little cryptic for y'all since every answer avoided it entirely... My apologies if you suffer from a dejavu...

There us a reference I have seen in the New Testament is in Corinthians 6:9 but therein the reference is not to "homosexuals" per say but to the "Catamite"....

Now.... "what's a catomite" I thought ... and.... well as far as I can figure a Catomite is word with latin origins that means the younger partner in a pederastic relationship between two males. Now this strikes a particular discord with me ... That is, a Catomite refers exclusively to an act of pedophilia ... but more interestingly Paul condemns not the adult perpetrator in this text ... but the adolescent little boy!

So, if you can make sense of that morality then please explain it to me 'cause I can assure you that if there is a god of any kind, for my god... it's the pedophiles that ought be excluded from paradise and not the little boys. What's your take on that text

Few things all of can start to do
1.Everyone get at least one cloth reusable grocery bag each, will mean less plastic.
2Stop buying Gas Guzzling SUV's, it is not so important to make everyone so comfortable whilst driving, whilst some Americans are laying down their lives in Iraq for the oil. Our dependence on foreigh oil is making us very vulnerable.
3. Everyone get used to bathing with luewarm water, and drinking tap water, Give up the plastic bottles
4. Start insisting on buying everying American, maybe slowly we can take back some of the industry that has forever gone to places like India and China. We should be having our own people on the swithboards in buildings built on our Lands, and bring back life to all those empty mills and factories in the US

"There are two aspects of my life that I feel has disadvantaged me. One is the fact that English is my second language..."

It is correct to write that something has "disadvantaged me"? Does that sound awkward? Should I instead say something like "There are two aspects of my life I feel have put me at a disadvantage." Is there better phrasing you recommend? Please only respond if you are sure what you're saying. Thanks!

to you-wouldn't you be suspicious of her? I sing solo's at my church, and she approaches me, and asks me if I will sing w/her-says she's always wanted to get up and sing, but she's really nervous. I say sure-I mean, I'll help someone out. But before this, she's always been REALLY hateful and snotty and stuck-up acting-for no reason-just cuz she apparently thinks she's better than everyone else. Wouldn't you be a little suspicious of her motives?

this happens to be one of the most visited places on yahoo! answers. which doesnt surprise me because religion is one of the most controversial issues in society today. i dont understand how bashing anothers religion can make ones own religion look good. i dont ever bash other religions because i know that people will just say "oh look her religion teaches her to say bad things about other religions". seriously its a sad thing. on this site i have seen so many christians bashing jews. jews bashing muslims. and it doesnt make anyone look good. idk maybe its just me but if i wanted to spread religion i do it with peace. thats the way all religions say is right. and if u post something crude, nasty, or racist ill just report it as abuse. im just saying stay true to your own religion and stop bashing the others. i like to follow mine and if i want to spread it i do it with peace. not by putting down others.

I suffer from severe cronic depression, and recently attempted to take my own life. This isnt my first attemt, but it is the closest ive ever gotten. I flatlined twice in the ambulance, and once in the OR. After 4 days in ICU and 2 blood tranfusions here I am...still alive. People keep telling me that God has big plans for me, but I dont feel like I will ever get out of this hole that im stuck in. Im just so tired of this constant battle of good and evil in my head. I dont want the devil to win, but its not looking too good at this point. I know to some of you I sound crazy, and maybe I am, but there are those of you that know exactly what Im talking about, that understand how it feels to be tired. I need some advice though regardless how crazy you might think I am. Im scared and I dont want to go to hell. Please help me with this.

He knew Adam and Eve would be tempted by Satan and thus cast the world into chaos. Why didn't He just destroy Satan, thereby eliminating death and destruction? And why does God create people that He knows will never be Saved?

Look at it like this. The point of accepting Jesus in your life is so that one will learn to become Christlike, and by becoming Christ like, we become the people God wants us to be. But since a baby has not accepted God, how can they go to heaven? It doesn't matter if they are not "accountable" or that they can't choose right or wrong. The point is, they have not accepted Christ.

People say babies go to heaven because it makes them feel better. But Biblically speaking... they should not. Furthermore, the Bible never says babies get a free pass.

there's no way i'm going 2 check myself, i'm scared of my own shadow. but could the bridge really be haunted? (its not a rumor, people in that town wont go near the bridge at dawn)

How serious do Christians take some parts of the bible? For example, can we really not work at all on Sundays? Also, women were suppose to keep there hair long and down all the time. That is not the case at all today.

Also, if we as Christians are suppose to do everything in God's name, then is it alright if lets say we watch a tv show that has nothing to do with God, or listen to songs that aren't religious at all. Or if you're career has nothing to do with God is that okay? I mean I know it's unrealistic- we need factory workers, we need people to work at wal-mart, etc.

I just want to hear some other opinions about this...

Answer the question. Do not tell me to look it up. If you believe in this theory than explain it. I believe in God and I'm not afriad to explain his existence. I'm not rude enough to answer all your questions with " read the Bible!"
