Even though they're just friends?

If so, do other people think that you're dating? This happens with my friends and I a lot. If we weren't gay, we'd probably be pissed, but since we're gay, it's SO funny to see how people react.

Do you have any other strange things you do with friends in public? And how do people react?

Many of you have stated that death and disease entering the world as a result of original sin. Since Jesus's death was supposed to save us all from that fate, why do we still die?

Now that we have had "homophobic" shoved down our throats by the media, shouldn't we begin to add phobia
to everything we disagree with? After all, if we are going to be fair to everyone as many suggest on YA we must apply the same rule to everyone.

Here's a list to start with-

Atheistophobia
Christophobia
JWophobia
Mormonophobia
Heterosexuophobia
Sadomasochistophobia
Hedonistophobia
Evolutiophobia
Politicaphobia
Democraphobia
Repubophobia

I am sure there are some here who can get far more imaginative than I have been.

Ah yes, and each of these phobias should definitely be labeled
as "hate" and legislation should be passed making them hate crimes to keep people silent that don't agree with what we believe or want to do. We wouldn't want to protect one group of US citizens and not others.

Your thoughts?

Please refrain from the usual ignorant responses that require abusive language or name calling. It is totally unnecessary and absolutely immature!

Or do they simply not want to understand?

Question after question has been posted on here concerning Jena, other incidents, other alleged incidents, and even just random racest rants. Some make claims that there is no racism at play in these incidents, others even blame victims of racism for causing them.

Folks, isn't it pretty simple when you break it down. If you judge any segment of a society based on their skin color (regardless of the color of your own) then you are displaying racist behaviour. If you have hatred for any segment of a society due their skin color (usually due to limited experience or immaturity) then you are indeed exhibiting bigoted behaviour. If all of your questions target a racial group (regardless of which one or what color you are) then you are being bigoted.

Isn't it way past time we stopped this nonsense?

The mistletoe, decorated evergreen tree, gift giving and even the actual DATE for Christmas are all pagan in orgin.

The eggs, bunnies and the actual DATE for Easter are pagan in orgin too.

Rosaries, incense, crosses, stars, etc. are all pagan as well.

The evidence is in every encylopedia available and even bible historians and theologians would agree.

Why some find it insulting when I joyfully point out that they have more in common with me, a pagan, than they think?

Do they think they are somehow better than me and therefore to share a common religious thing is BELOW them?

Or do they sincerely believe their religion is 100% authentic even though it is fairly recent (only 2000 years old) compared to other traditions around the world?

If I was angry at myself and simply cried out "F***!" why does that offend people. Do the sound waves compress the air in just the right fashion to hurt ones ear? Do some of those offended ever wish they weren't offended so they wouldn't have to suffer?

Do you feel their regard and concern for you or is it something you just know mentally. Does it make like easier having people you can rely on for support? Is it ever a nuisance to you?

There's a video of Derren Brown instantly "converting" a group of atheists. He admits that it was all mental illusions. How do you think this works?

What are people mistaking for God?

The two funniest were (1) right after we'd had a fire at the house and I was waiting for a call from the insurance company. The fellow started in on what he'd like to do with me, and I told him, "Get off my line right now. I'm waiting for an important call." (2) My son was visiting me when the phone rang. Once more, someone started telling me what he'd like to do. I handed the phone to my son, and said, "Jim, I want you to listen to this." He said, "Hello? -- Mom, there's no one there."

My decision for re-retirement must be made with more consideration this time based on medical care availability, transportation, cost of living, cost of housing, security, leisure time activities. I retired here in the Philippines in 2000 but, due to the cost of living increasing here and non-available of medicare facilities, and security I must reconsider and try to find another place that offers more for retired people than Philippines, any help would be appreciated. I have pensions from Navy, and social security, but, I am not rich by any means, so economical solutions are a prime factor in furure decisions for re-retirement. True Philippines is lower cost than U.S. but, facilities are lacking for retired personnel, no senior citizen facilities, medical care under par, transportation for seniors non-existent, meals on wheels never heard of here, and other considerations must be made before going there this time.

In my last question about people dying being part of God's plan, one person said that it isn't God's plan for people to die, but rather an effect of man screwing up and allowing sin into the world.

Please explain this logically.

Will repair this earth..
ISLAM- Will NEVER give up thier beliefs and way of life to a world they believe is hedonistic, and as you know thier faith is growing
they reject ATHEISM

Christians- The faithful will never live or give up what they believe as followers of Jesus Christ and live in a society that preaches atheistic views.

JEWS-Faithfull will reject and fight to the finish to persevere thier religion, there country and right to exsist at all costs.

And I would say the faithful off all these religions would die than give up GOD and live in a world where GOD is not part of life.

So atheists knowing this, either you think all people of GOD should perish and a itty bitty world of Athiests can repair the world OR you can realize GOD is the only thing that will finally come and repair the earth wipe out the wicked and create a world where ALL will live in the Glory to GOD.. which is it?
