Its pretty weird, he/she never answers any of my questions unless i have the word "Catholic" in it, by tomorrow he/she might answer this question too. Im not hating but im just curious, are not other questions good enough to answer?If you go to his/her profile and look at the dquestions they answered , they all are about Catholics. Im just curious to know why he/she won't answer any other question besides the ones directed to his/her belief. Since this person is very knowledgable about their belief, this might be the reason why they got the most Best Answers. Just an opinion.

Hola Gente,

Soy estudiante de español y quiero saber cómo pronunciar palabras sin "la" or "el" 's'. Lo oigo en Reggeaton y otros lugares. ¿Hay reglas? Gracias.

I would like to know what are the rules governing that sexy gangster like speech. It tastes good; it is pleasing to me. I hear all the time in songs and when people talk it sounds like 'dijite' en vez de 'dijiste'. It's not for every word tho, you know what I mean? If anyone can tell me what's up with that they get 10 points.

I'm just tryin to become more fluent and knowledgeable.

Are letters in Spanish masculine or feminine?

Maybe that is why church is so much fun for you guys. Do you fly around inside the church or kill each other and bring them back to life? We do know of your miracle workers healing the sick by performing miracles but you know that scam usually takes place after the collection plate and lasts until church is over

then as intended he would have to chose a mate from the animals. Given that the closest would probably be a monkey then does not this mean men have to thank Adam that they dont have to make love to females with better beards then themselves?

Muslims surely believe they have an eternal spirit. You are flesh and spirit, Moses taught that this is the image of God we are created in. Above the animals which perish with their flesh.
How is you are more than one part and God can not be?
We are more than one part made in the image of God above that of the animals it is the reason we have an eternal spirit otherwise we perish with our flesh.

...have no spirituality? Atheists do not believe in God by definition, but plenty of Atheists are spiritual. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism

I've seen some that are spiritual, and some that aren't. My fiance is Atheist, but he does believe that we return to a collective unconsious when we die. No God, not Bible or religion-- but certainly a spirituality.

An Agnostic like myself just aknowledges that anyone can be right or wrong-- I have beliefs but I cannot prove that they're right. So I too am spiritual without a god.

So is there just some myth that if one is Atheist by definition that they can't be spiritual, or is this just some groups trying to make Athesits unwelcome in this section?

In most religiously open nations where there are more then one operating religions, it seems as if though picking what to believe in could very easily be seen in the same respect as choosing where to go to get that shiney new watch.In America, for instance, many churches place TV ads, advertise in several publications, place signs in various locations that have advertisment slogans about why you should believe in this faith or that, they have Sunday morning programs which seem more like home shopping programs(Order now and you can get a shiney belief validated), and just like that pesky paper boy trying to get you to sign up for *insert name of publication*, they even have door to door salesmen.

Why, oh why, is religion more like a product then a belief?If it was truely worthy of being a belief then it wouldn't need people to try and sell it now would it.And don't forget that for 19.95 you can become a member of the telethon prayer group..

Whether brigham young participated or not, the massacre was carried out by mormons. It would be only slightly worse if Brigham Young ordered it. Either way there was no justification for the slaughter. Imagine what would happen now if a bunch of mormons banded together to go slaughter innocent men, women and children whether ordered by the prophet or not.

I have seen the scene of Borat at a Pentecostal camp meeting and what he did was for laughs but their was nothing funny about it. Yet one problem is that these people were unaware of what was taking place, They didn't know that Borat was making fun of them, they should have discerned the spirit. Yet just like in the article below, God always gets the last laugh. This guy really isn't funny and is mocking the Christian belief. Some Christians even watch Borat and enjoy his films, all i can say is "Wow!"

And I know that obviously it wasn't convincing enough since you're an athiest, I'm just asking which Theist Religion came CLOSEST, so no need to answer saying ''none''.

It's so common in America to see Christian to have sex before marriage. I was just wondering if it's allowed or not because it doesn't seem like a big deal nowadays. At least not where I live; LA. Anyhoo, I hope I don't offend anybody if I am wrong. :)
