A Christian is bitten by a Vampire. The Christian still has the same religious belief and believes in being "saved by Jesus." There is no book or evidence that I can find in fiction or Non-fiction that states a person loses their religious beliefs or protections when bitten by a vampire. Therefore. the cross and holy water bit has to be what is called Artistic License to allow for a weapon or a twist to a book or movie to bring it to a climax.

A Christian Vampire that did not take life would be committing no designated sin. Therefore there could be (if you think they are real) Vampires in heaven.

Often I wonder about religion and law. Just like the KKK has the right to say that white people are a superior race - we have Muslims and others that say homosexuals are inferior- or even worse: they don't exist.

All of this is tolerated in the name of freedom of speech. It is only when there is an Action can the law step in.

Yet speech - especially from religious leaders may enduce hatred from the followers. Eventually this leads to action.

For example, people who leave Islam are often threatend and physicaly harmed. When things like this happens we blame the person that actually does it but not leaders that have encouraged it.-> They are protected under the laws of freedom of speech.




my question:

Can statements made by some about homosexuality be punished by law?

So I like this guy...and hes gay. He said he started noticing guys more than girls...I told him I used to like him and all the sudden he asked me for my number and to hang out sometime, but I KNOW he is gay..and that leaves me confused and all considering I STILL DO LIKE HIM.
What does that mean?
And is it possible to turn him straight?

Can you not read? Or can you not think intelligently? Or maybe you are just astounded beyond comprehension at the mental and philosophical depth of my questions.

This question is referring to the plain fact that one of my last three questions have received ZERO answers thus far! I know, I know ..... I can't believe it either!

So will this question break that trend, or will the mindbusters go to two out of four questions? You may help to decide this ...... but I have already decided that you will NOT receive my Best Answer points!

Have a crappy, boring day anyway!

If he has, why do you think he chose to speak so clearly to you and yet leave her wondering if he would ever show her a sign of his existence?

If there is a god, How did he come in to being? How could something with no form, create form? If he is omnipotent why does he need humans to worship him?

Since so many here feel that bisexuality is feeling an emotion for for both sexes. What would you call a man who loves woman but also like to have sex with men but has no emotional attachment for the men, just lust?
Personally I don't see why the emotional distinction is made.

here in scotland the big political question is ''independance''.
the country is split into 3 camp's :- 1/3 pro-independance, 1/3 pro status quo (remain part of the UK) & 1/3 undecided.
i was just wondering how you out there feel about it.
do you miss colonial power or remaining part of a larger country (or empire, federation or union) or are you happier that your own country decides it's own law's and way in the world?

I just saw a Q about if destroying religion would stop war.
I want to take this Q a little further and ask if defeating anything that is identified as a main enemy could stop war?

Once it was aristocracy (French revolution) and it stopped neither war nor atrocities.

I think that Mankind´s worst enemy is man/woman´s ego.
You can´t live without it, yet you can´t allow it to take control.
Soon one loses perspective and becomes what one hated the most before getting to power.

Is it possible to LIVE with it? Meaning, is it possible to compute ego into world politics and prevent its tyranny?

Is it possible to build a government with failsafes against the feelings of one individual?

Ex: Hitler, Napoleon, even Bush´s controversy decision about invading Irak (which I neither approve nor disprove in this argument)...

Even if religion and superstition were defeated, it doesn´t mean that common sense would win.
We have to be conscious of that don´t we?

Please elaborate

When you have posted a question politely and simply and you get a barrage of answers from people who disagree and are so inarticulate that they have to resort to abusive language and derogatory statements.
