Society & Culture - 8 September 2007

I'm catholic and I believe in God. I go to church every sunday and I respect and believe in God's words. But they don't talk about sex during mass very much, and I'm SOOO CONFUSED about it.

I'm in High School, and most people already had sex. I don't believe in sex intill marriage.

But if someone masterbaits(when someone touches themself, almost like having sex with yourself) Is that against God's words? One of my friends does that(and is not ashame of it either)

So I want to know is it bad or not? Cuz its not like you are actually doing it becuz you like yourself and you want to have sex with yourself. You just do it becuz it feels good.


So please help me to help my friend: (

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
*Being gay is NOT natural Christians reject unnatural things like glasses, polyester, and air conditioning
*Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay just like hanging around tall people will make you tall
*Gay marriage will change the foundation of society We cant adapt Just like we havent adapted to cars or longer life spans
*Str8 marriage has been around a long time & hasnt changed at all women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, & divorce is still illegal
*Str8 marriage would be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears 55-hour marriage would be destroyed
*Str8 marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldnt be allowed to marry because our orphanages arent full yet
*Obviously gay parents will raise gay children since str8 parents only raise straight children

Aside from a restroom. Perhaps males will be able to relate to this question, but females are welcome to share as well. If you have ever experienced the need to urinate and a restroom was not accessible, how did you handle the situation (without holding it in).

If the organization did not actually prophesy the end in 1925 and 1975, then how come so many Witnesses left the faith immediately afterwards?

"They lost roughly three-quarters of the movement between 1925 and 1928, then suffered huge losses after 1975, when the end didn't come as they had implied over and over again," said Jim Penton, an ex-Witness who writes entries on Jehovah's Witnesses for the Encyclopedia Americana

I have always tried to help everyone who has asked it of me. I have run into two different people with the same types of personality, they are both very needy and I’m willing to help them, but I’ve run out of things to say or do for them. I have gave them my shoulder , helped them seek counseling, medication, help from the churches, tried to get one financial help, did all the foot work for Medicaid, financial assistance, all the programs, I even opened up my home, but it’s always the same thing, everything I say or do goes in one ear and out the other. I am very discouraged. I have run out of advise, and ways to help. I have been talking with them for months and every time it’s “ I don’t know what to do or where to go, no one will help me” But I’ve tried so very hard, I’ve offered everything I could, I helped them seek help if I can’t offer what they’re looking for, I’ve always been there for them and always tried to help them, but now I have no more to offer, I have done everything I should, said everything there was to say, extended myself beyond my limits. And now I’m finding that I am depressed because I feel like I failed them. This morning I was even scared to open up an e-mail from one of them, but I did any way and…..”No one will help me, I don’t know what to do” AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now I need the help because I don’t know what to do anymore. I think it’s spreading and I feel like a bad person because I have nothing more to say. Has anyone else been through this? What did you do?

Don't you believe and know that God who loves us knew before hand, that is why he ordained that sex be experienced within the union of a loving marriage?

Was "free love" really free?

High price tag = divorce, sexual abuse, STDs, AIDS, adultery, disappearing dads, abortion, infertility, etc.

to convert atheism? As Christians, should we be accepting of all kinds (regardless of faith), or be narrowed-minded into believing everyone needs to take our word?

Live and let live. Accept others as they are while offering knowledge of faith.

I'm interested in honest, thoughtful answers, I am not trying to be combative. I want people to think about what Christianity really means, and what accepting others really means.

People always ask atheists how we can have morals without religion. Adam and Eve were around before the ten commandments and religion, so why didn't they kill each other? How did life go on before the ten commandments if religion is what keeps us from killing each other? If God did teach them, which is answers that I have received earlier on, why did we need the ten commandments later?

How would you feel if you see one black girl in your class but everyone else is white (including the teacher).......

I mean i have no problem being in the class, im the only black girl in there its ok but you know i do like to have those people i can relate to at times (ethnic) wise. Everyone seems pretty friendly though, this has never happened to me before, its kind of awkward but i'm not racist so i don't mind.

I recently asked a question about works and penance and I want to re-ask it sort of. I believe that Christians are saved by faith not by works. However I also believe if we are saved we will have works. We will have love. We will help people when we can. We will spread the gospel. We will have works that serve a purpose. However as I understand it many times when confessing a person is told a certain number of our father or hail Marys to say. From what I can see this work benefits no one. It does not feed anyone. It does not make someone feel loved. It does not clothe anyone. It seems to me to be a pointless work that benefits no one and has no value beyond tradition. So my question is what is the point in saying hail Marys or our fathers?

By the way, when I said anyone who wont give a dumb answer, I was not saying that b/c I think only Black people give good answers, its b/c almost everytime theres a question to or about Black people, its definately going to get negative responses

How is it that people on R&S are still using that arguement? Fellow evolutionists, I don't think we're doing our job well enough to inform these people that we didn't evolve from apes.

...not sure how to explain this, but I love thinking about. See, lesbians aren't attracted to guys, but gay guys are, and gay guys aren't attracted to girls, but lesbians are. But I love how much we get along and have in common despite this gap! It's just so awesome! And yes, I know why.

I love you guys/gals!

I'm in one of those moods. :P
