What's wrong with you?


Sex is NOT a bad thing!
I really don't think God has a problem with guys and girls having sex if they're not married and I really don't think God has a problem with people who decide to create their own fantasy world in heaven and have sex there and I'm sure it's been done millions and billions of time up there in Heaven already.


After I die, I will still want to make out with women my type, no matter what anybody says, even when I'm in Heaven.

I was watching a show with a guy wearing a gold band on his right hand on his ring finger. Why would a guy wear a gold band on his right hand ring finger?

I have so many hispanic men check me out and my bf says the reason why is because there are so many prostatutes in america, and I'm begining to think that there are not very many hispanic man who are sincere when they try to hook up with an american woman!

Are we too insecure to accept the possibility that chance and natural guiding forces (mainly natural selection) were in fact natural, and we are merely a product of that? Are our self-esteems not able to take such a blow, and we must believe we are significant?

We are smarter than the other animals, yes - though you could argue that the other animals at least know how to live at peace with the natural world. What we take for granted as "human" characteristics are found in other animals, mainly other primates. To name a few examples - the ability to communicate, use tools, the complex social groups (which we still don't understand completely), reliance on learning rather than instinct, emotions, empathy, etc.

What basis is there to believing we have a "higher" purpose, other than we want to?

The why is it the "Religious Right" that keeps trying to block it in America?

Because if there's a God coming from another God then that God was not the beginning, and I'm defining God as the beginning. I mean, I don't care what Mormons believe but SEMANTICALLY how is the Mormon still God.

Christians, do you believe that after you die a spirit leaves your body and goes to heaven?

I read in the Bible that God creates new bodies in Heaven, but am not sure on your beliefs on spirits. Are there any passages about Christians having spirits (besides the holy spirit)

on the subject of rape. I still do not think prison for life is good enough for these beasts not only that it costs us about 50,000 a year to keep someone like huntley in side. Why did they not let him kill himself do us all a favour.I think deportation works there are Islands of South America if it was full of perverts they could all abuse each other.What do you think?

I believe that what what done to the Indians was the most horrible genocide in the history of the earth. They had it figured out. They were smarter than we were. They lived as God intended humans to live in the respect that He gave us an earth that had everything we needed to live. There was no such thing as poverty or working a dead-end job you hated just to survive. Granted, they did work hard, but it was for themselves! No boss breathing down your back, determining your quality of life by the amount he decides you deserve. Indians just went out and got it (with effort). They simply lived life as it was. Paradise was everywhere, and it was free. We had just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Now here is poverty, pollution, extinctions, a deplinishing water supply, and just not enough to go around due to the greed that fuels American society. What do you think about this? I believe we should have begged the Indians to teach us how to live.

"We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system — with all these exalted powers — Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.

If theists can't accept that they are animals, how will they ever be able to treat other animals morally?

The bible is a book of morals that they want you to follow and they try to use the scare tactic of going to hell to get people to follow it.

...Legal defense department.

I've been told that as opposed to any other group (faith, non-faith, whatever) in America, they have the best legal defense team - ie: You can't really write/say too many negative statements against Scientology without being slapped with a lawsuit and being run into the ground.

If true...and Given the amount of....contention on these boards about other peoples viewpoints - how did Scientology carve out this void space of protection for itself?

Don't the atheists realize that there is a single common thread that connects all of the school shooters? There is one fact that is true of all the people who shot people at school.

They were all at school! Doesn't this prove that school is a place where children learn to do evil things?

The only solution is to take all children out of school immediately! Also, we can't put them in home school because that's still school. We need to stop teaching our kids everything.

If other people can confuse conjunction with causation so can I.

I am Christian and my wife is Buddhist. She argues that following Christ means learning and practicing his teaching rather than believing in him and ignoring all his teaching. All you have to do is believe in Christ and you go to Heaven. Wow, that's an excellent deal. You don't know Christ but you are a person of good moral value, kindness and compassion and still you will go to bad place because you are not Christian ?That seems very unfair.

"As man advances in civilisation, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races."---Charles Darwin

I am not talking about children, I do think this is inappropriate.

I am an aspiring photographer and enjoy taking pictures of people (kinda like people watching) as they are naturally. Is this considered rude? I feel if it is a performer or something like that then they should expect their photo taken. But what about regular people? I find if I did ask, they would make some awkward pose and it would ruin the shot. I am not a creep or anything like that, sometimes you just see someone interesting and want to take a picture for art's sake alone.

Of course I know I would need a release form for anything I publish, but if this is for my own home, is this okay?

What about taking pictures of displays in a store, would the store owners get mad?

Thank you
