of course, everyone does. but does being gay raise any specific issues about aging? people around here are so centred on youth that its bizarre.
does lacking children generally mean that a community grows up together or do u become slowly isolated with time.

You probably have, but it still makes me laugh.

A very self-important college freshman was attending a recent football game. He took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear.

"The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space
travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing, and....," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young........so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little wise guy, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was deafening

Or whatever you call it, it's that thing with the priest, the closed shack and the sins.

I was raised in hell, I mean, a catholic school, so we had to do absolution before our second communion (you know, the presents, the nice clothes, the feast, all that).

However, I couldn't come up with a sin, because I hadn't and still have not sinned, so I made several up, and told the priest that...

How do you feel about lying in confession ?

Since the MAJORITY OF the WORLD embrace this message from GOD...What message could an atheist give that the world would embrace?
:BE TOLERANT OF EVERYONE DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT HURT SOMEONE ELSE OR BREAK THE LAW OF MAN.REALIZE SOME PEOPLE GET BAD BRAKES IN LIFE DEAL WITH IT, AND REMEMBER WERE ALL GOING TO DIE TURN TO DIRT SO LIVE IT UP IN THIS LIFE*
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 NIV).
Man Is Separated
"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23).
God's Plan
[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful] (John 10:10).

Pretty obvious why SATAN will be defeated..What says you?

With image in the US. Have people gone over the edge with the constant necessity to try and display something to the rest, where what they show, is just there to hide who they are. Things like:

-What car you drive
-What cloths you wear
-How much make-up you paint on
-How you speak
-How you imitate imagery on television
-What makes you look (by perception only) more feminine
-What makes you look more masculine

Has our society ran out of all the natural necessities for living and providing good lives for our children, that all we do all day is obsess over what others think of us. And not just obsess, wrongfully obsess. Does anyone else think that there isn't a single person in this country who is not your true friend or family member that cares a single drop for who, what, and how you are? No one cares... in fact you don't care about this message, because you don't know who I am and this may not appeal to your image. We all meet the same fate, life is all that matters.

Adultery is so common nowadays that it doesnt even raise an eyebrow.

Polygamy however is seen as some sort of perveted sin.

Has Satan decieved the people ?

Adultery = B*stard children = Society of b*stards

----------------------

Deut. 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Deut. 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

Deut. 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

We pagans were informed that atheist should ridicule us more because our beliefs were far more ridiculous (ancient gods that "no one" believes in anymore) then Christianity. So should you be bashing us more?

I already know it is sad and depressing so it need not be said again. I do write positively when the mood strikes.



Blackened Cloud

Nothing to do, nothing to say, I seem to do everything wrong,

Growing older year after year my dreams hopeless, there gone,

Missing the company of people, they hate me it would seem,

Bad luck encompasses my entire life, good luck is only a dream,

Nothing to live for, nothing to fight,

No success, No happiness in sight,

Standing shaking under a big blackened cloud,

Rain falls, lightning flashes, the thunder is so loud,

I need a miracle, I need it quick, I need it fast,

I don’t know how much longer I can last,

m really confused on this. what does it mean to express youself? does it define how you feel about yourself on what you wear or what color you dye your hair?
if for example, i dyed my hair black with red ( which i once did) does that define how i feel in myself? ( i was depressed alot)
Or if i dyed it brown ( which i did again) would it define how i see myself ( i felt alot more happy with life)

All im trying to understand is, by what we wear or how we style our hair, does it difine how we feel about our selfs?
if i wore my hair over my eyes, would that be a sign im insecure about my self, or i like the style? and if i wore alot of black, do i feel dark and depressed inside, subconsciously speaking?

i see teens on the street wearing black and with black hair alll dark and i think to myself, they looked depressed and have lots of attitude and i see teens that look normal, and its makes me think that what you feel come through your style and how you feel about yourself shows in hair.

She lived across from me in my building for 10 yrs., we were just aquaintances, talking in the hallway only. She moved two years ago. She started calling me alot, bragging about how much better the area she moved in is. Very annoying,
Then she started dropping by my apartment unexpected and staying for 5 hours.
When she lived here i never saw her once with a guy, now she brags about some guy whos her boyfriend.
After talking to her for 2 years, not once has she mentioned her job, where she works, etc. I know shes a waitress but she never talks about her job at all, its weird.

How do i get rid of this woman?

some equate parts of the near death experience (seeing a white light) due to low oyxgen.

just curious as to your thoughts on near death experience. do believe that it;'s changes within the body that causes one to say, see a bright, white light, the life review, and 'seeing one's body from up above', or do you truly feel that it's something of the spiritual realm?

I know I proably ask many questions that make people who have no faith here stand on thier heads with dander but I noticed most of the christians I knew were here when I first joined are now gone>>>

I know a few Jews and Muslims come on from time to time but proably are irritated with the Christian vs atheist dialogue that rages on.so they proably leave...

Anyways what I see is now this site being more posters with Atheistic views that being said. Do you think it would be better for this site to consists of Atheist and Pagan posters?, then you all would have no reason to ridicule people of GOD because they are gone!

Just like a Yahoo Rapture! If you think you can talk christians into giving into a Christian Ladociean Belief you are sadly mistaken especially with me...
So would you stick around here if every christian left this site?

Yes there are other questions like this but they didn't get to the point.
From what I have read and heard in the past people will say, "Because the Bible says so and that is the word of God." That is not a strong answer.
Christianity and the Bible were created after the rise and fall of many other religions which stated they were the true faith. These religions were in place before the concept of Christianity was thought up.
Religion was created to help support the unknown of the world such as were we came from. These people charished their faith and believed full heartedly that its the truth. This is the same today.
I am focusing on Christianity more so because it's the majority here on Y!A.

So if religions have been around since the dawn of man for the reasons above, wouldn't it be justifiable to say that religion today is just the same as it once was? Just another line of stories to help give man answers in life and in time more will exist and people will follow them.
