Last week I agreed to go out w/ my best friend this Friday because she said one of our old friends from H.S. is visiting and wants us to hang out. Of course they all want to go to a club or a bar. But the problem is I really don't have any extra $$$ to spend this weekend, I just paid my rent, bills, and tuition. I can't tell my best friend that I'm broke because she will just force me to go out and will tell me not to worry about paying for anything. I am too embarrass to even mention about money problem, and I will never feel comfortable going anywhere without money. I have extra $, but it's only enough for me to get by until my next paycheck. .....I really feel guilty making up stories or excuses for not being able to go. I know she'll be upset. Any suggestions that I can say w/out upsetting her? Thanks!

Religion is like a prescription drug, It is prescribed to make you feel good and help you out when you can't usually help yourself. Then you meet other people who take the drug too, so it feels like you are part of a big club. Some people may even like to endorse the drug to others because they feel like it might help them like it helped you. But some people become addicts, They start ignoring reason and rationality and they get angry when you try to take the drug away from them. For some reason they get angry when other people don't take the same prescription as they do and they cling to the belief that the only pill to take is thier own. Then they get out of control and angry and won't listen to anyone, they are stuck in their addiction so much that they ignore the fact that people aren't trying to take their pills away, we are simply trying to get them to understand that maybe the prescription wasn't a good idea in the first place, but its ok to have it, Just keep it to yourself?

I think that some churches don't even recognize them as being true marriages cause they aren't in a church. So why shouldn't homosexuals be allowed to have those? Or does that show that it's really about money...?

please no spouting stuff about how God says that homosexuals are abominations and stuff like that. It's old. It's tired. How about actually answering the question. Why shouldn't they be allowed to have civil unions?

My son is taking a biology class and the prof. gave them a reading assignment called Why We Believe.
Here is the link to that letter/article:

http://facstaff.unca.edu/pomfrey/Biology%20123.htm

I found it very thought provoking and I thought about my new cronies here on Y!A while reading it. So I am throwing it out there to see what you think.

This is along the lines of other questions that have been asked lately, and I think we are doing well to continue the thread.

Inspiration can come from the devil as surely as he can appear as an angel of light. Truely the christian history has proven that politics formed the bible. This is truly a false doctrine that blinds all christians and likewise Jews and Muslims.
The words of God cannot be bound, (i.e. in a book) and I have learned by personal experience that Inspiration is NOT always GodBreathed! Nor is everything I once believed, the truth. I have learned that I can be inspired by false impressions and misguided, but i believe christians are truly blind to their own traditions and false doctrines.
How can any prove that God wrote the bible? HE did not.

It's obviously not OK to park in a handicap parking spot.

But is it OK to use a handicap bathroom stall?
Is it OK to go in the handicap register in the supermarket?

I always do those because it seems like they are just there in case a handicap person needs to use it (bigger, built for wheelchairs and stuff). Whereas a parking spot, everyone would park there if it weren't handicap and so it has to be regulated in case a handicapped person really needs to use it.

(if you do in fact believe so).

Is it because people have "faith" in scientific theories that are not proven true?
-- even though it is quite different from blind faith

Or the belief most atheists share that our universe can be explained by natural means?

Or are there other reasons?

how about germ theory? what about electromagnetic theory? why do i never see any of you scoffing at these things, they are, after all, only theories...right? why have you reserved your most passionate vitriol for the theory of evolution? you may recall, when it was decided that the big-bang theory seemed to support the genesis story's claim that "in the beginning, there was nothing", the church wasted no time in pointing this out...

Why aren't atheists sent to their deaths by the government? Why are natural history museums popping up all over the U.S, filling the country with their satanic lies of evolution, and dinosaurs? Why don't the churches hold any say in the government? Why does no one take the Christians seriously when they speak the word of truth, God, Christ, and Mary Poppins? I will just never understand!

If you have been nice to everyone (or almost everyone) your entire life but people constantly mistake your kindness for weakness, what would you do? Would you punish them severely in such a manner that they would regret their own existence?

in the new world translation of the holy scriptures, if you compare john 1:1 (where the jehovahs witnesses changed the scripture to note Jesus as simply "a god". )
How do you justify Isaiah 9:6 when Jesus was called "Mighty God" and "Eternal Father".....

notice the CAPITAL "G"
I know how jw's are sticklers for complete accurate knowledge.

and...i have a feeling that some of you will try to back this up by saying that he is not called the "Almighty God" as jehovah would be called....but in Isaiah 10:21 God is only refered to as Mighty. (upper case "M")
& in Jeremiah 32:18 God is refered to as mighty (lower case "m" )

so....if Mighty means lesser, then technically Jehovah would be concidered lesser right?

this is a serious question here please

There is a saying - As you sow, so shall you reap. A man is supposed to have the good or bad results for the right and wrong deeds done by him.

I have known a man for the last 14 years, who always keeps insulting others. He abuses and harasses others for none of their fault but I have not seen any bad results on him. He and his family is flourishing.

Could you explain the reason behind it? Are some persons exceptions to the universal rule of deeds and results? How would you explain it?

If man can be created from dirt, and a woman created from his rib...then why can't a jolly old fat man go around the world in one night delivering toys to all the kids who celebrate christmas?

I just don't get how you can read the story of Adam and Eve and not have one OUNCE of incredulity? I understand faith and all...but isn't that pushing it? Cause I mean...to take a few science courses...doesn't that kind of put that 'hmmm, can that be true?' in your mind?

I'm a self proclaimed religious guy......if I offer to sell Moksha for $47.88 and Nirvana for $51.23 (this is essentially taking the fast track....you would attain Moksha or Nirvana in 3 days guaranteed and get a printout certificate that you can use to discourage non-believers) would this be a reasonable price? (I'd also offer package deals) This would be great for all the people still stuck in samsara or tired of doing yoga.

Have you ever?...?
Just wanted to end a friendship/relationship with someone who at point you felt a bond to, in whateve way -and it's like you never wanted to tell them it's over, you just wanted to end everything in the secrecy-like block their phone; remove pics; not answer when they call-because you felt they did you wrong, and after you gave them a chance they messed up again and again?...And, it made you feel good to have that power, because you can walk away and not care, because it;s their* fault the friendship ended in the 1st place?..
* I have a friend who I've been friends with for 3 years now. And, when it comes to messages and phone calls-she's flaky. I *even ask when it's convenient for her to talk and call at the time she says , but no aswr-when I call, nor a reply. *She apologises and I know she cares for me, she's told me- I'm one of her BFF-but this has happened 3 different times now and I'm getting sick of it.

And there should be no ban on implanting such hybrid embryos in the womb of the woman who supplied the original egg, they say in their submission on the Draft Tissue and Embryos Bill.

“Such a woman is the genetic mother, or partial mother, of the embryo; should she have a change of heart and wish to carry her child to term, she should not be prevented from doing so,” the bishops say.
