I really like this guy but think our differences in religion might be a problem. Just wondering your opinion of his behavior and religion:

1. His family is extremely religious...they're catholic, sent their children to catholic schools and sometimes seem a little extreme to me. He is very close to all of his family.
2. He drinks alcohol a lot and gets drunk with friends
3. He goes to strip clubs with friends when on vacation
4. He uses cuss words but doesn't say GD
5. He drank alcohol before 21
6. He is saving sex until marriage but he does other sexual acts with females
7. Wears jewelry which symbolizes the catholic faith. His father wears it too.
8. Goes to church every sunday and sometimes on wednesday
9. Goes to bars a lot


Thanks!

the Bible said God is love... and according to many christians God condemns the gay people.. where in the Bible except the old testamen.. I can find where the gay people are going to the hell... even the writers of Saint Paul are very opposite to the jesus christ teachings.. he was machist.. he said the women should in silence in the church.. and jesus let the women to be part of his disciples..

Yeah. What do you guys think? My brother said that as the generations go by, the people get a little smarter, but a little shorter at the same time. I looked into this by looking at the people around my school.

The current people in my grade are just a little shorter than that of the people that were in my grade last year in my school. And I believe that one time before I've heard the principal say that my grade had the highest average GPA than last year's.

It's not much evidence since it's only a small portion of people I mention. What do you guys think?

Could it be true that as the generations go by, people become shorter and smarter?

well my hair is currently styled ,minus the redness, of David Bowie in his mullet phase. now for Halloween i was planning (by planning i thought of it last night while watch him perform on an infomercial) to go as Bowie. i figure that one of the scariest things i could go as, besides dying my hair red, what other things would i need? oh yeah, i will not wear 'make-up', i'm calling it face paint so i can keep some shred of masculinity in this messed up vencher.

Do you feel it is wrong to listen to secular music? Watch certain things? Read certain things? Go certain places? Hang out with certain people?

I don't know but that's what I always heard. What kind of a Bible do they have and how do they (and their teachings) differ from Christianity?

i base this question on the story in the bible of the woman with 3 coins in the temple

(a rich man give 30 coins and the poor woman gives only 3 but god values the 3 over the 30)

yeah i know the story is about charity but why doesn't this translate into life as a whole?

give thumbs up or down? Is it because you don't agree in what people believe in or not? What makes you do that?
Thank you for your honest answers.

ok you know how buddhist religion dont believe there is a god.... well thats a bad thing right? well i wonder if they will go to heaven or hell because if u think about it, children are brought up with the religion there parents are. so it wouldnt be fair for them to get punished when all they know is buddhist or wuteva other religion there is. so its not there fault that they dont believe in god, cause thats how they were brought up.

Why do atheists assume all Christians are anti science, believe in a young earth and interpret every other story in the Bible as a literal account. All it means to be a Christian is that you believe in and follow Jesus Christ. I personally accept scientific explanations for how we arrived here. The Bible is not and was never intended to be a scientific text book.

Have you ever felt totally seperated from God. I mean I am a born again Christian but lately I haven't been doing the things I used to do such as praying,reading my Word but I still go to church often. But prayer,fasting and reading I feel are very important for my relationship but for some reason I've become complacent or lazy. I know I love God and I know he loves me. I've been a changed person ever since I've gotten saved I just don't know what's going with me right now. Have you ever felt this way?

i think i'm gay. and i loved someone last year. we started out as friends but i admitted to him that i was gay about 2 months after i knew him and i liked him even though he didnt show any feelings for me. after that, he started avoiding me and doing things that would hurt me(example, saying foul words to me.). that was the start of our rollercoaster relationship as friends(?). sometimes he's kind to me(example: he was kinda flirting with me...) but most of the time he avoided me.

now, he's already far from me but we study in the same college. at times i see him and he pays attention to me by greeting me. should i think of a way to reconcile with him or just forget him and start all over again???

by the way i miss him...and i think he's the perfect guy for me...i think i can't find another one like him. he's the only person that i liked. if i'll start all over again, would i find another man that i would like??? what do you think???

he's STRAIGHT and i can't get over him...:(

If you act on your anger, you release frustration. I'm not talking about murder, just making a complaint with a store manager about a rude cashier, something like that. If you do nothing, you are being the better person, but you are also keeping alot of pent up anger. So what is better?

This is especially aimed at theists. I want some reasonable answers. Nothing stupid like Jesus said this or that. What do YOU think as a person with a functioning brain.

Atheists only have one thing in common; the disbelief in god.
There is no dogma to believe in evolution and all that scientific stuff. I'm an atheist I personally believe that a Giant Slime Toad sneezed out the universe 500 billion years ago. But that's just me. That doesn't make the Giant Slime Toad a God it just makes it very very big.

Now Christians have a whole Bible they have to answer for. They have to somehow prove that creationism happened, that there was a global flood, that a guy lived in a fish, that a prophet was born from a virgin, that the earth is like 6000 years old (YE) and everything else.

I hope you Christians understand this.

So if there's another question regarding evolution, the age of the earth and the big bang theory just direct them to the science section.
