A lot of people seem to have the most difficult time understanding that the same word can have multiple definitions. I don't know why, since we use words with multiple definitions all the time. We all understand the difference between an electrical cord and a cord of wood. So why doesn't everyone understand the different uses of the word "theory"?

Can you honestly say that two gay people in a loving and monogamous relationship are a "threat to civilization" and an abomination to God? Especially in light of the fact that gay people never chose to be gay and their actions harm nobody?

The Earth Realigions teach tolerance. The Divine has manifested in different ways at different times to suit different people. The truth is revealed to each of us from deep within ourselves.

Jesus lives in our town.

does anybody kow where?
Does anybody really care?
Yesterday I met him,
in a shelter for the homeless.
Yesterday I met him,
in an oldage home for the poor.
Yesterday I met him,
in a hospital room, alone and dying.
Yesterday I met him,
a victim of dispair.
They all looked at me and said:
Does anybody know?
Does anybody really care?

Many people say that there is no in-between, you are either born a boy or a girl, that's it. I honestly think it makes sense, what do you think?I'm straight by the way.

Feedback please? What do you all think of the idea of going to church online? Would any of you (especially my friends) be willing to check out an online church and provide me with your thoughts on the experience?

I'm a member of a multi-site church that launched an "Internet campus" earlier this year. I attend the Saturday evening service online (and the local "live" service on Sundays)...I'm part of the leadership team that assists with site design issues, brainstorming new features we could offer, and more. The service starts in about 15 minutes at http://www.reallifeconnect.org ...click the "Worship Experience link and, if you like, open the streaming feed in Windows media player (or just watch it on the little box embedded on the page). The feed will start right at 7 PM CDT.

The message should be an interesting one on the trinity...I'll be in the chat room if anyone wants to talk. General feedback on the idea or specific feedback on the experience welcome. Thanks!

My roommate has a very insecure relationship with her boyfriend of 8 months. They argue constantly and she is ALWAYS complaining to me about it. He doesn't have his own place - he sublets rooms every month though he's always here. She mentioned having him just start staying here and paying us rent since he's always here anyway. I don't see him often since they're always hanging out in her room, but I also live in a small NYC apartment and did not initially agree to live with them two. Though the extra money sounds tempting, it's not worth it since they have such an unstable relationship. Part of me thinks she wants to have him here so she can keep tabs on him all the time. I'm afraid that since I said no, he'll just subelt a place but stay here instead just to spite me. Even though he doesn't interfere with me, it's still my apartment too and I'm a little sick of him being here. I would never ask for my boyfriend to move in with us. Am I being unreasonable? How can I handle this?

Honestly, when white people consider the economic disparity between whites and blacks, do you guys think it has nothing to do with slavery which gave way to Southern terrorism (lynching) which begat segregation which begat white flight which begat discriminatory housing policy (especially in the post-Depression era when many Americans had to start from scratch) which begat lower-funded public schools in the segregated black areas which is the beginning of the cycle that produces crime and poverty.


This is not about making white folks feel guilty or even finding a solution to these problems really. I just wonder how many even good-natured white folks think "history has nothing to do with the way things are today". Sometimes it just seems that they think things that happened before 2003 don't effect attitudes and circumstances today.

That's right. Go to any university and the class is called atomic theory. The name will never change. That's because the word "theory" has more than one definition. This is the one science uses:

"A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena."

I love the Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Why is all religion bad if there is true faith such as an innocent child like trust in God and Jesus ? What about the millions of good deeds done in the name of faith in God like helping the poor, feeding the hungry, prayers for peace and love and reconciliation thats free from aggressive acts and prosilityzing ? Why not have such a wonderful thing ?

So if we all sin why is the sin committed by homosexuals so unbearable for christians, maybe they level sins according to their own prejudices?

I have friends who white and they say Jesus is white,and I also have friends who are black that say that Jesus was black.I tell those races that he was neither.They asked me then what Jesus
Latino such as yourself?I told them no Jesus was not even Hispanic.Hispanic people did not even exist in Jesus time,and Hispanic is more of a preference,never a race.Jesus was human.In fact Jesus lived a pre human existance before he came to earth,taught us that he was the son of god,and he died for us because of our sins.What does it matter if Jesus was black or white?Jesus himself was not partial of race,so what would it matter?These idiots still did not get the point after I had explained to them who Jesus was.Although Israel formerly
known as Canaan,was inhabited with people of color,it was not documented that Jesus was black.The bible says he had hair of wool,ashy feet,est.But there are many people around the globe that look like that.You don't have to be black to have those dominant features.
