Im 16 and i think the being gay is wrong, since it says that it is in the bible (1 Corinthians 6:9) and im repulsed by gay acts (such as kissing But the reason why i ask is i notice certain traits of other guys and think "i wish i looked like that" or "he's not bad looking", and i've never actually been atracted to either "side". but a lot of people think that i am gay, and ive began to talk in the way that is seems feminine, for example i say "like" a lot, etc. I really, (and i mean really) don't want to be gay.

although i'm not extremly religious i have done my biblical research. What i came up was: Everything is possible for God (Jeremiah 32:17), and everything is possible through God (Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27). so it IS possible!

so my question is if i am gay, how can i become straight, and if im asexual (meaning "not being attracted to either gender", not "reproducing by oneself" for all you biology students)

And i'm not interested in "just be yourself" i want a real answer!!!

In the O.T. book of Leviticus 24:10-16, there is a story about a fight where a half Israelite blasphemeth and curses the Lord. Subsequently, the Lord speaks to Moses and He commands that those who heard him curse, shall stone him dead. God continues to speak and spell it out that any that blasphemeth the name of the Lord "shall surely be put to death"(in the Hebrew this is a polyptoton,a figure of speech-dying he shall die-for emphasis) Any! Now if someone didn't believe in God, the Lord Jesus Christ, or His divine word. Which I know a few of you out there don't, Will you still die for your blasphemy and cursing of the Lord Jesus Christ? If your answer is no-I'm gonna rename you Eve because,like she did, you're already believing the talking serpent in the garden GEN 3:4 when he said "you shall not surely die(not dying you shall die-polyptoton)
Imagine that you believing a talking snake, but not the creator of all things! The fruit of disobedience, there is no apple in this story.

An atheist will make the claim that, they are good people because it makes logical sense to be good to other and live in harmony with others. They don't need a pie daddy to tell them to be nice. If that is the case, why are there antaganizing post here asking believers question that they know will hurt their feelings? Why would an atheist here post an answer such as "Christians are simpletons. They are all idiots, etc". Doesn't that contradict your claim. Even if only some said such things, wouldn't there be a backlash of other atheist telling them that isn't a nice humane thing to say?

So if atheist are generally nice people, why would any of them be rude period? Wouldn't they respond to a question in a polite logical way, instead of going the mean route? This site isn't full of 90% or even 75% of nasty rude believer q/a, and just a scattered atheist rude q/a. It is more like 50/50.

So who exactly do you assume is nicer. Not everyone is the same offline.

Has anyone ever heard that large bodies of water can actually record events in time? If you have heard of this, I would appreciate a link, or some search engine keywords, because I cannot find anything. Thanks in advance!

How can there not be a one definite start point?
Nothing, our at least our concept of it, is impossible. If our concept of nothing existed then nothing could ever be made.
Infinite Causes, there is never a start point.
So there must be a start point, correct? This universe had to be created at a certain point, correct?

The bible says that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. In the Old Testament (Covenant), the Jewish nation sacrified a calf and shed its blood for the forgiveness of their sins. Since the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD, current Jews do not make blood sacrifices for their sins as commanded by G-d. How do Jews now get forgiveness of their sins without following this important law of G-d.

P.S. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, his blood was the final sacrifice for our sins once and for all. He was the final sacrificial lamb of God. Isaiah 53

I ask because white Christians made them slaves. Apparently, the Vatican and the Protestant Church of England interpreted (from the bible) that black people had no soul and thus "should be enslaved".

Was that a simple misunderstanding or were your Christian forefathers just a bunch of bigots? Or maybe they were misguided - please - share the REAL truth... or maybe you'd rather skip this question altogether... no matter... God's not watching... sometimes he blinks, right?

Does anyone else think it is kind of rude for them to knock on your door and ask your name and then ask you to read things from the bible? How can you put them off coming back?

I am working on a Progressive Metal album with the theme of The Maxim Xul (the seven evil spirits of mesopotamian folklore) and the sixth spirit is described as nothing more then "a terrible shibbu". It would be helpful to write a song about a shibbu if I knew what the hell it was.

So many people are convinced that we are not Christian and spend time telling us that we are wrong and that we are going to hell, that I say that we drop Christianity as a whole and embrace cult status. Despite the fact that what they think doesn't matter, I think we should. If they are the perfect example of True Christians, I don't want to be affiliated with them. What do you think?

I'm looking to decorate my back yard for a kids (2 year old) Halloween party. I don't have many trees in the middle of the yard so I can't really hang things. I have a few signs I am going to post, three tables with Halloween tablecloths and pumpkins and gords (sp?) as decorations but don't know what else to do. I don't want anything scary. Would scarecrows be alright or is that not really Halloweeny?

Also, do you think I need to decorate everyroom? I decorated the dining room with a Hallween table cloth and a few things hanging from the chandelier and decorated the family room with streamers and a centerpiece. But, I don't really plan on decorating the playroom except maybe a few things hanging from the ceiling. Is it necessary to decorate the kitchen?

Thanks!
