I think some people are confused whether or not sexual orientation is a choice because some people will end up calling themselves straight, then gay, then maybe back to straight, then maybe gay once again.

This does -not- mean their choosing their sexual orientation. It means this person is choosing a label to represent their sexual orientation, but it's obvious this type of person is bad with labels lol. More then likely, they're just bisexual with feelings coming and going.

"Converting" between sexualities and changing the label you choose to refer to yourself as are two very, very different things. More than likely, the feelings of attraction with never stop, and that is what people should be defining themselves by. Not the will of society, what their friends and family think, or what they think they should be.

So, labels and sexuality, sometimes they just get in the way? Your thoughts on the topic?

I was reading the last book in the Shopoholic series, and Becky the main character was pretending to be in labor, and the midwives were asking her why she didn't feel any pain and she said she was a Scientologist.

So... what exactly is scientology?

A couple of nights ago, I had a dream I was drowning, I asked what it meant, and they said I was overwhelmed by something, so I sat down and prayed, and as I prayed, with each question I asked Him, I could almost feel the answer. And I knew he loved me.

How does God talk to you? Are you listening?

I mean is our country really getting told the truth about good sexual health or are we all being lied to by the media and school education and overcensorism. We have more higher divorce rate I think that any other nation and probobly more STDS and over consumption of drugs and should I mention an Obesity problem. How come the Europeans and other countries in the world can get it right and we can't?

Well, The term "agnosticism" was invented by Thomas Huxley around 1869.

1800 YEARS AFTER JESUS.

Religion was here thousands upon thousands of years before anyone decided to question God.

Hey Agnostics, Skeptics and Atheists, what do you say about that?

Fellow Christians:
If you are tired of the haggard, self-defeating, angry, offensive questions that atheists on this site post...stop answering them!!! They are just trying to get a rise out of us.

If the question seems like a BONAFIDE question, please answer, but stop ARGUING with people who have no desire to know anything. Remember, Jesus Himself said to not cast your pearls before swine, meaning:
Don't waste precious time on people who don't really want what you have to offer.

Whether you believe it or not, biblically Methuselah was the oldest man to ever live at 969 year,s but does that also make him the wisest? Does age = wisdom, considering all the changes he must have witnessed, what if we lived 900 years from now -what would we see? pure chaos? a utopian society?

Someone responded to one of my questions asking “Why do you say ‘IF’ God exist, why not use facts?” That made me think, since some scientific theories are more factual than others yet BOTH are still used to formulate proof, then what’s wrong with using the theory of the Biblical God to formulate proof? There is plenty of known history and records of some people’s personal experiences to at least establish the works of the Bible as Theory, (a plausible fact.)

Who wrote Genesis?

Without going into the greater theological question: "was it the word of God?" (which would be more contentious), can anyone tell me who the first person was to write this down, and how they came to know the story of Adam and Eve etc.

I was thinking of reuniting with my ex-husband. I was talking to an elderly friend. She recommended that I don't because my ex-husband was abusive and controlling. So, I ended up not moving to another state to be with my ex-husband

Well, I just found out that this elderly friend was telling others that "I will never find anyone because I did not go back to my ex-husband." In other words, who would marry me?

This elderly friend used to tell me to be strong and not go back and these were "tests" for me to learn to take a stand.

Now, she says that I will never find anyone. I have stopped talking to her.

Some people are so gossipy. I guess that I just have to ignore it.

Doesn't the Bible tell you you are going to hell if you practice magic Christians?
Prayer= Getting in touch with divine forces
Magic= Manipulating diving forces into giving you something.

I read this in a nationally selling Christian religion textbook, and confirmed it with my priest, and other Christians.

Oops, left out the last part of the first one. Getting in touch with divine forces to manipulate them into giving you something, such as grades, help in marriage, stronger faith, etc.

So why do you practice magic by another name?

I'm an Atheist and I find that a lot of other Atheists can be just as closed minded as religious fanatics. I agree with the Theists (up to a point) that just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it isn't true. I try my best to keep an open minded perspective on all issues. I'm not great at it, but I do try.

So, just for a bit of self-analysis, how would you rate yourself on a 1-10 on being open minded?

1 being set in stone. 10 being open to all ideas. 10 doesn't mean that you'll believe what they say, but just hear it out indifferently.
