I'm a very shy person, especially around most of my coworkers. I really like them though because they seem like nice people with good hearts. I'm assuming that they know I'm shy because I'm pretty quiet, blush and have trouble initiating conversations. I have sent a few appreciation cards to a few of them though. I've also talked to them a little more when it's one-on-one.

Recently in small ways, they've started approaching me one by one to try to talk to me. For instance, I ran into 2 of them. Immediately started blushing when they approached me. Had a brief encounter about our summers but that was it.

I'm so worried that eventually they are going to be detracted and not want to talk to me because I still get shy when they approach me now. (They didn't use to approach me). They've characterized me as "soft-spoken" "gentle" "quiet" and "kind"

Do you think the blushing and shy attacks are going to detract them?

I've been brutally honest, sometimes examining my motivations in past actions, and I've found myself wondering, "Why didn't I just lie? Who'll be the wiser?"

The answer, of course, is, I'll know. I've never been a good liar. But no one here can see my face turn red and my eyes start to shift side to side. I still can't do it.

I'm gay, but I've never been to a gay bar. I'm really nervous because I'm worried that all gay guys there are going to be really flamboyant and over the top. Not that there is nothing wrong with that, but I just don't find that to be an attractive quality. I don't mind if a man is slightly femine, I just don't care for guys that are like transvestites or overly girly.

I'm a lesbian, but I don't get offended when people say that's so gay (unless they say it too much... now that gets annoying) because they're not trying to demean gay people. Gay has three meanings:

1. Homosexual
2. Happy
3. Lame

What's your opinion? I want to see if someone can change my mind ;]

Some people seem to have stupid goggles on when it comes to this issue. More and more houses are up for sale or have been forclosed on right? That means more people can not afford houseing. Where do they go?

When a person goes on unemployment and it runs out the government does not count them as being unemployed even if they are. So the stats are wrong. What happens to these people?

People consitantly live in dept to survive, but when they run out of credit to provide for there needs where do they go?

They say the job market is strong, but what is the solid evidence for that?The number of people in this country to the number jobs that are out there widely disporportionate. Is minum wage considered a good job? Considering getting one minumum wage job is hard and you need three jobs just to make ends meet what happens to you when you can't?
When you run out of gas for even a job interview what happens to you?Really what do you think happens to the poor?

Can people be 'inherently spiritual' due to genetic factors, regardless of shared environmental factors?

Is religion not genetic at all, but a learned cultural aspect of our lives?

I have recently posted two questions and received some excellent answers. One about the definition of Christianity, and the second on the definition of a cult. Christianity definition answers were along the line of "following Jesus, being born again, having a relationship with Jesus." The cult answers were about individuals bring glory to themselves and twisting what the Bible says.

There are different methods and beliefs on baptism. Some people believe it is not necessary for salvation. The people who practice baptism will sprinkle, immerse, or pour. This act may be conducted on babies, children, or adults, depending on their belief.

If your church believed deferrent then another's church, would you consider it a cult? And, why or why not. When can the words from the Bible be twisted, and still accepted?

I am not bashing any religion, but only attempting to learn what others believe, and to possibly stimulate thought. Thanks for all polite replies.

Eternal Security is False and easily refuted. Many people want to believe in this doctrine but yet seem to fail to know that its dangerous and gives us a license to sin. This means that i can kill, steal, commit adultery, rape and without repentance i am still saved. This is sad and very dangerous and i believe it to be a hugh deception of the devil. I pray that people would really study on this subject instead of just listen to others, Their are way more scriptures that support "One can loose their Salvation" than people know.

Once Saved Always Saved REFUTED!

I ask all who are studying this subject to read this book:
"The Believers Conditional Security", its hard to refute and disagree with. The Eternal Security Doctrine is very very dangerous. God bless

It looks to me like the Bible says that it is an abomination to do this? Is there another place where it says it is OK? Or is this something that you just don't pay attention to? As I look more at the Bible, it seems as though people just pick and choose what parts of the Bible that they follow?
