Society & Culture - 3 September 2007

Please note the spin on this age old question.

I have my own answer to this, but that's not what this question is for.

This should settle the debate. If there are no gay people who say they chose to be gay, then the argument that gay is a choice, is false.

If your not gay, how could you know. If you are gay, you should be able to answer the question correctly I would imagine.

Thanks for the help, and lets see if we can lay this one to rest.

what are your opinions of this. im not talking bout a sign if God is real, but say for instance you want to know if your in His will, so you say ok Lord if this is what you want me to do then this will happen. do you think that is wrong?

Abortion, Death Penalty, and Homosexuality.

Many of our faiths frown down upon some of these issues. So basically, what I'm trying to ask is if your faith has a big part in your views on these issues? Why/Why not? OR do your morals come into play regardless of religion?

& serial killers? Or is it that thing again called "free will" and the person choses to kill, murder, or rape?

I'm referring to life after death, a common religious notion.

The reason I ask this question, is there is a miserable woman who lives across the road, who hates it when the kids are playing outside, she has already been in trouble with the police for racially insulting a child, and hitting another. Last night my eleven year old and his pal came running in saying that this woman was leaning out of her bedroom window and taking photos of them! My soon was in a right old state, he was really scared. I want to inform the police, but need to know where I stand in the eyes of the law.

What causes a choice? What is a choice based on? Are choices ever random? Are choices made by the brain only? Are you the brain? Do you control the brain? How does a brain control itself? Are you the soul? How does the soul make its decisions? Are they random? Are choices uncaused? What are they based on then? Are they really uncaused then? When does a human get free will? When it is a fetus? When it is a baby? When it becomes a young child? How much free will does a human get? Is it random? Are there probabilities for which choice is made? Are some people more likely to do one thing and not another? Do we intervene the natural world and make decisions? What are those decisions based on? What causes them? How do we intervene? How does free will work?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?

If God existed I can tell you the boys out there want ever-rejuvinating virgin women and no baggers. A man wants a tight honey not a railway tunnel and God knows that dam well! so which is it... god doesn't exist or we are all living in hell already

How do you personally handle it when this happens?
Have you built up a resistance to it and can you just brush it off now?
Have any advice for someone who has a hard time with it?

Personally i have been ridiculed and verbally abused for just about everything you can think of by people who don't know the slightest thing about me or what I believe, and I'm sure many people have had similar experiences. I have built up a resistance but some things still get to me and i do have trouble dealing with it.

No matter what you believe, someone somewhere will always have something bad to say about it.

I don't want to whine, but I need an outlet for all this upset and anger.
Why is life so unfair?
I have nothing... absolutely nothing.
I feel like I'm cursed.
Nothing good ever happens... seriously.
WHY?

I knew there were a lot. But, when I'm on this site it's amazing how many there are here. Growing up it seemed like most people were Sunday Christians. Not that devout. If they were religious at all.

Why can't they just let people believe what they want to believe. Converting is wrong, let people choose for themselves, stop shoving this crap down our throats. This goes to other religions too that try to convert people, its wrong.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

I have only been a Catholic for only 2 years and I was told by a friend to come to YA and I will meet a lot of people who share the same thing, God.

But all I have found is hatred towards the Catholic Church and the Catholic people, they call us dreadful names and I have received some really nasty emails running my faith down

Please tell me how do you handle this, any tips as it is really upsetting me, I love being a Catholic and proud of my Faith and love the Mass and I love coming here

What can you offer?
