A heinous murder is committed by a person born and raised in America. This person flees the country to avoid prosecution. A heinous murder is committed by a person who is an illegal alien who resides in America. After the crime is committed, the illegal alien flees back to his/her own country. Do you think one crime is worse or more tragic than the other? Why or why not? Answer must be complete in order to be considered "best". Thanks

I am 35 never married, no kids, no friends, or have any desire to have those things. I usually spend all my time in the house, mostly in the same room and drink a lot of hard liquor. I do not leave the house for anything, except for food. That means I never come into contact with anyone, not even my parents or other relatives. I haven't seen the parents since the early 90's and they live in the same small town. I do have a college degree from a state school, but I have no ambition to be anything in life. I love being a hermit. I just want to be left alone and live by myself. So, what is your opinion. Am I a loser.

At church last Sunday they were talking about how the end is near because the church is losing its population greatly. In 1974 the church had over 500 people. In 1986 it dropped to 300ish. Now in 2007 it only had around 100 people going. Maybe even less. And Ive noticed more and more people taking seats in the back, and leaving many rows empty at the front, maybe ebcause they didnt want to get caught talking, or not paying attention, I don't know. Could this be a falling away, and a sign of the end?

I first posed this question in family and relationships and I'm not getting much action (everyone there is into the singles and dating stuff...LOL)

Any takers?

I refered to two girls in my office as females and one of them though that it was disrepectful because it reduced them to medical terminology. We're all military so it's just natural for me to refer to females as females. No disrespect intended. Do you think she was over reacting or am I being a jerk?

If it were true, there'd be no points of contention. Perhaps the "truth" isn't found in the form of a religion. Your thoughts?

For halloween, i want to be a bumblee bee. I want to be this because it is cute, fun, and creative. When i was younger, my favorite costume ever was being cinderella. My grandma made my outfit too!

Not a baiting or trolling question... Some people might be offended, but that's not my intent.

What I want to know is this - there's an old cliche regularly bandied about here on R&S about how atheists can understand right and wrong.

For me, the question is simple - it's my conscience.

When people actually ask how someone who doesn't believe in some musty old book can have learnt right from wrong, it makes me wonder if they ask the question because they have no conscience themselves?

Or do they just suppress that conscience when it contradicts their musty old books?

What would you add in it?
It can be religious, something you want people in the world to know or just something that you'd like people to know on the R&S specifically.

I'm currently taking the RCIA program to become catholic and I didn't want to ask this in "class", But I believe very strongly in this. I have done past life regressions and found that I had 3 past lives 2 female and 1 male (I won't go into details).

How does an atheist decide whats right and wrong?
What do you base your morals values on? and why would they be good for the society? Question if you where in a dark ally where theres alot of crime, and you were by yourself when all of a sudden 10 large men started walking towards you... Question would it or would it not make a difference to you if these men were just getting out of a Bible study?
Give an intelligent answer if possible...

seriously...why do people have such a problem with us? I don't understand it. It's not like we go around converting everyone
well, no I won't speak for every Jew out there b/c that's not fair.
but as far as i know most of us just mind our own business
so why does everyone hate us so much?

I'm not suggesting the guy who asked that question denies evolution. I have no idea what he believes. I just thought this was the next logical question to ask.

Here's the thing. I'll start out by saying that I don't like to get sick. I can't stand it. If I can, I try to avoid people who are sick. I figure...why put yourself around someone who is sick if you don't have to? This is a little difficult with my College roommate. He's a great guy, and we get along well, so this is why I am asking this question here.

You see..my roommate loves to touch his face, his mouth, his eyes, his nose...and we all know that this is the easiest way to transmit germs. He seriously has been sick twice in less than a month, and I am convinced that he got sick by touching his face. And, also, he has this annoying habit where he'll take one of his fingers and rub it back and forth under his nose, therefore making a weird and EXTREMELY annoying mucus noise.

I want to somehow tell him a) that this noise is bothering me and b) he shouldn't touch his face as much, and he won't get sick as much. I know I am not his mother, but this is driving me crazy...

I keep getting answers from people I could have gotten myself. I don't need YOU to use the online translators I can do that myself. I want someone who KNOWS latin to tell me what it means!
AESTUO
DOES it mean " I BURN "
HOW do you pronounce it?
And if it doesn't mean I BURN connotatively with passion or desire, what does?
Any other beautiful sounding semi romantic/romantic phrases in latin that you know of? (With pronunciations,please?)
Thank you SOOO much! I really appreciate it. I'm trying to get a definite answer from someone who knows for certain before I get it put on my body!

I had a really good friend who was an atheist. I dont think he was one his whole life. He went through a really bad life losing both of his parents, and just lost his love for God. He was a really great friend and never would hurt anyone. He died a few weeks ago.. and i just want to know so bad if hes in heaven or a better place.. please give me some opinions and let me know what everyone thinks
