Is putting your real picture up as your avatar the new thing? I'm seeing that more and more lately. (I always wondered what bettierage looked like.) Maybe I'll do that since someone stole my avatar? Is that what everyone is doing?

For example me. I'm gay. Yes I don't mind saying it. Why would you want to hate me because I'm gay. You don't know me right. But why all the hate in this world. Can't we all just get along like brothers and sisters and learn to live in peace by accepting one another for who and what they are. So ask yourself these questions if you hate people like me. Why do you hate someone for being different? Why do you hate someone you don't even really know? Why? I haven't done anything wrong to you but why would you hate me still for being gay. I'm human. I'm just like you. But you still hate me because I'm gay? You know... I have feeling to. I'm just like you in every way. If someone hurts my feelings I cry also. If I get cut I also bleed. But even though you still hate me for being gay. I may be gay but I have never and will never hate another human being. In gods eyes we are all brothers and sisters.

DETAILS CONTINUED BELOW.

One: Don't miss the boat.

Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Do you do it just for the money or were there other reasons?

When you're talking to the "customers", are you truthful about things in your life (such as school, hobbies, etc) or is it all made up stories?

Do you ever feel a personal connection toward the "customers" or are you just going through the motions? Do you actually care about them enjoying what you do or is it just about getting their money?

Do you ever get offended or hurt when "customers" treat you like "objects"?

Do you ever notice and/or appreciate when "customers" treat you like a person? Do you see it as sincerity or just trying to get something out of you?

Are you ever aroused or turned on by what you do?

Have you (or would you) ever dated someone you met as a "customer" at work?

How do you react when/if a "customer" recognizes you in the real world? Would you want them to even acknowledge where they've seen you?

Just some things I'm curious about; I appreciate any honest answers.

funny thing is where did you get your information from about what you believe or lack of belief in God? wasn't it a book from some human author. I would rather believe in a book inspired by God rather than human wisdom.

So.. here's my dillemma..
I'm single now.. have been for two weeks, not ready for another boyfriend but I'm thinking about the future.. I'm a christian and I'm struggling with the fact christians should date christians.. please don't abuse me for that, just respect that's my belief..
But I don't know what to do, because I'm not like other christians. I don't like preachy christians or controlling goody goody one's.
I'm just normal, but believe in God and do my best to do the right thing.
So I don't think I'll be happy with any of the christian guys I've met because they're.. SUPER christian.
What do I do?
I don't want to be alone.
I'm 18, and I would love to be engaged at 21.. I reckon I'm gonna TRY to take at least a year off to just find myself and enjoy being single. But yeah.. so at 19/20 I'm worried about not finding someone.. I don't live in the city either.. towns population is about 15000.

When wondering what God gets out of being worshipped, I was informed that it is the natural reaction of coming to KNOW him. So taking that as and end point, is their a natural progression?

Assuming our spiritial understanding increases, does our relationship change in incremental ways (e.g., first in curiosity, then frienship, love, worship?). Some other transition?

Or, for those who feel that they have an intimate relationship, was it more of a startling, profound qualitative change?

Sincere responses would be appreciated.

make mistakes when they are on a judicial commitee? Is it possible for someone to appear to be repentant and walk away with a slap on the wrist, only to be an apostate in disguise? If that happens, doesn't that mean that god isn't a part of that judicial commitee? If he was, there would be no mistakes....ever.

I was agnostic until I had a miraculous experience. Those who believe in a Creator (including myself) obviously believe because we had a close, personal encounter with The Divine.

When an atheist tells me they never had that experience, I take their word for it and I believe them 100%. It's not my business to force them to have that experience or denounce them because it never happened to them.

Only God can reveal God exists right?

So why does it upset some believers so much when an atheist says, "I honestly have never had ANY experience like that and therefore I cannot believe."?

Why is there this need to demonize them and assign ulterior motives to their non belief? Does their non-belief invalidate or trivialize your belief? If so how exactly?

Or is it that you feel SO convinced that your religion or scripture automatically reveals God that if someone does not find God there like you did, something MUST be wrong with them?
