At the world's busiest airport, plainclothes officers patrolling public restrooms in search of luggage thieves have instead uncovered a rash of other, more sordid crimes.

The new restroom dragnet has led to the arrests of more than 30 people in three months for indecent exposure and public sex acts at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

▼▼ Now this article speaks of these issues with men, but are any of us safe in a public restroom? Do you have to use the buddy system to go potty now? You guard the door, then your friend does the same while you use the restroom.

Can't they just do this stuff in their own homes, away from the public? What if you have your son or daughter with you - is there no shame?

If you were god and could make a universe and control its elements, create life in its many forms, as well be omnipotent and ominiscient, would you demand loyalty, thanks and eternal worship or would you try and encourage man to get on with it, live with one another without prejudice and fight for humanity. Would you make man a little less evil too?

Wouldn't sex organs indicate, well, sex and reproduction (and thereby also implying a finite lifespan)? Who does God have sex with, mrs. God? Without reproduction, what is the point of reproductive organs? Of gender? Did God have a mom and dad?

Above is one story about the nearly decade long battle for Wiccans in the military to have a pentagram on their govenrment issued headstone.

I am especially interested in what Christians think about the fact that there have been several Christians symbols available, as well as several emblems available for other faiths, but for 1o year the VA refused to allow Wiccans a symbol of THEIR faith. It was only after the threat of a lawsuit that they did the right thing.

The VA kept saying they were "revising" the rules, but groups that applied AFTER the Wiccans applied were quickly approved, and the VA just kept giving one flimsy excuse after another to the Wiccans.

Our commander in chief actively supports the curtailment of Wiccan civil rights in the military, he does NOT think they have a right to practice their faith.

What do you think about all this ?

I am very tolerant to different opinions, cultures, and beliefs. The only things I'm not tolerant of are bigotry, lying, and condemnation of others. If those who call me intolerant are guilty of these, then I can see why they react that way. Because they are the intolerant garbage trying to make someone else look bad so that their shortcomings may be ignored. Just in case anyone's wondering, only Christians have ever called me that, even though there are several Christian answerers who get best answer from me on a regular basis. It isn't the religion, its some of the members that are the problem. Although I cannot believe the Christian dogma, cannot make myself believe the Bible is anywhere near true, and have a wonderful life as is I do have great respect for some members of the Abrahamic religions. I guess it's just that the worst ones are the loudest. Feel free to give your opinions.

I was told this is the correct spelling for Avedis in Armenian
Աւետիս
However, is that Eastern or Western Armenian? Or is it the same?
Also, how do you say nice to see you in Western Armenian.
Thank you.

All sins are equal right ?

To break one law is to break them all right ?

Whenever God is slow to answer our prayers, what we believe about God is revealed. Do we change our plans and move in a different direction when pressure mounts? Or do we continue on the path God has directed for us?
Has God called you to stand for a cause bigger than yourself? You will have opposition to His call; sometimes it even comes from those in your own camp. But if God has called you, then you can be sure He will make a way. He has already opened the way before you. But you must walk in faith, joined with Him to take the land.

...Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).

Do you hold the same level of respect for the Bible and Dianetics?

Do you think Christians and Scientologists are equally "deluded"?

There are lots of evil lies and stuff people make up about our church that you shouldn't believe. We don't do evil suicide stuff in the temples, and we don't kill people who disagree with us.

We're a normal church that just happens to have more truth than the others. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and restored the true church, the Book of Mormon, other scriptures, and the Temple to the Earth after the apostasy in Jesus Christ's time. We don't pray to him or worship him, just God, but we honor him as a prophet, just like Moses or Noah.

If you have LDS or Mormon questions, ask them and I'll answer!

Yes of course we should ask forgiveness from people around us when we have wronged them! The Bible tells us to do this--
But we must also seek GOD when needing forgiveness as well- NOT saints, not priests- but GOD- Jesus tells us the way to pray in the NT-- praying to our Heavenly Father. Many are confused on this, because they think the Bible is telling us to go to a person instead of pray to God. What good is that going to do? Jesus is perfect- He is our ONE mediator between God and man, as the Bible says. He is our ONE High Priest, no need for priests anymore, for Jesus has fulfilled that! It is our New Covenant with Him- what is there not to understand? I am asking this again because I see many catholics out there who are confused on this- Please put your trust in JESUS, not man. Know that is it about JESUS, and no priest on earth is sinless, no priest on earth can compare to God! Now that Jesus is here, HE is the one we are to pray to- He is the one we confess our sins to.

If the whole world was dying, and you knew that your child was the cure... Would you sacrifice him for the sake of the WHOLE WORLD?

If YES, Why?
If you said YES, How would you react if when your son's life has been taken, and everyone is healed... you leave the Hospital and everyone acts like you did absolutely NOTHING for them? They show NO appreciation? NO gratitude? They don't even acknowledge your son's life and/or death? They don't even believe that he existed and if He did, there was no way that he saved them all? But you know the truth... What would you do? How would you feel? What would be your reactions?


If NO, Why?
If you said NO, please explain how you would feel knowing that you had the cure. And you did nothing about it? That you saved one life over billions? What would make you think that that is ok? What would be your explination?

Ok, you've had your turn of attacking me and my christian beliefs(not a religion because I am not relgious).
I have a scanario for you. I would appreciate it if you could answer sensibly. I will skip the silly answers. They don't bother me anyway.

You have been called to the hospital because a loved one(very close relative/husband/wife/child is dying.
Who do you pray to? How do you deal with your grief? What high er power helps you in your pain and sorrow?I've often wondered how you deal or cope with life's tragedies and heartaches.

Do you have garage sales or shop at garage sales? I hate them, especially when my neighbor has one and people begin parking by my house at 6:00 a.m. and slamming their car doors.

I think garage sales are a pain in the rear. I've already got enough stuff and don't need any more. I won't take the time and trouble to have my own garage sale. I give my good used items to charities.
