Hillery Clinton will become a historical figure. Of course everyone knows the country will still be run by a man. Bill will still be in control wont he? Will your vote for Hillery actually be for Bill?
Good luck.

1/2 of the women that I have had intercourse with had their pubic area shaved and the other 1/2 did not have it shaved. I did feel a little uncomfortable with the unshaved one, as a matter of fact I found it to be gross but I did not complain. Should we all shave our pubic area too, to look cleaner, or just women?

Correct me if I'm wrong about not having an official religion, but think about it...having "In God We Trust" on our bills and coins, having the eye of God on our 1 dollar bill, saying the Pledge of Allegiance, and "God bless America" bumper stickers. Personally, I'm not Christian, I'm tolerant of other religions and I acknowledge that a vast majority of American are Christians. But America is supposed to be a country of religious freedom with different heritages and customs. Then why is everything American-ish all about God?

ok please dont answer until you read this first :
christians are discriminate, hateful people who say that anyone who doesnt believe in their god must worship satan, and they try to convert people even thought they make it clear they arent interested in changing their beliefs

thats what i think about christians, but i always have people telling me that: "well those arent TRUE christians" or "those are only a certain group of christians, they dont account for all of us"
that seems like the majority, not the minority
they may not account for all, but has anyone else noticed that out of 100 christians, only about 3 dont fit the above description?

HAIL MARY

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed id the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen"

Lets break it down:
1) Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee (direct quote from scripture: Luke 1:28)
2) Blessed are thou among women, and blessed id the fruit of thy womb, Jesus (direct quote from scripture: Luke 1:42)
3) Holy Mary, mother of God (Christ is God incarnete, and since Mary bore God in her womb she is rightly called the Mother of God: "Theotokos", or "God-bearer". Remeber what Elizabeth said: "And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?" Luke 1:43)

I mean, when we're born, all we have is our intellect...

Why, depending on where we're born and raised (i.e., if you're Christian, you probably were born in America, or some Christian influenced place - same for Islam, Buddhism, etc.) - Are people so compelled to believe the particular story that everyone else around them believes?

The Jesus story, the Buddhist story, the Mohammad story, .....whatever....

Why not simply continue to go with what we are equipped with at birth? CURIOSITY!

Why do we need stories and saviors? Are we really so insecure? Why not rest in the salvation of merely existing, like I learned to do after leaving Christianity (After over ten adult years of Sincere Service)??

What is so hard about living?

This question is really to the people with a few years of adult life behind them...
I seems as I have got older especially the last few years I have become a mega cynical person, as I move closer to the forty... I trust no-one....the goverment being the least trusted obviously. I seem to dislike people more and more and feel like a complete grumpy old s*d .....

Do you think it is society that is to blame, or just age ?

P.S someone please tell me I am not alone in feeling this way

Why do they bother to repeatedly confirm to themselves and other atheists of their "conviction" by interrepting aspects of religion from a point of view which is only relevant to their way of thinking and without making the effort to allow space for any other possibility.

ok. so all my life i have kinda been more attracted to guys. But i find it alot easier to get with girls...all my friends are girls.. and its really easy to make friends with girls. but ever since i told my self oki you might be gay see what happens...i cant talk to guys i get really nervous and when a guy does like hit on me or give me his number i freak out and say something like "why im not gay". I have been thinking alot about my sexuality and stuff and im mentally more comfortable with being gay...but i find it socially safer being "straight".

I would like someone out there to see what they think of this and let me know whats going on. keep in mind i havnt come out or lead on that im gay to anyone so im like DEEEPPP in the closet.

Like the historicity of Jesus Christ. We Historians know that the Biblical Jesus never existed.... When we prove it to Christians, they close their ears and say, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...."

Or they use the same old spill from those tired old "apologist" websites and books - Evidence ThatDemandsaVerdict, or Tektonics! Even those resources have been thoroughly refuted!

Is it a direct correlation between a lifetime of brainwashing and insanity??

Why do people WANT to believe this so very much? And guess the same goes for Muslims, Buddhists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Satanists, etc, etc, etc...

If EVIDENCE cannot change a belief, WHAT CAN?

To most educated adults, religion has to have a intellectually satisfying aspect. If we were asked to believe unquestionably for example that before the intervention of the Almighty all people had two heads and 6 legs--most reasonable people would accept that as either untrue or allegorical. To support the two head and 6 leg theory when there is no evidence requires either a completely closed mind or simple mindedness. Why is it so difficult to understand that rejecting the literal interpretation of the bible does not mean religion is thrown out as well. I believe in evolution and I believe in God--and it is very satisfying since there is no conflict between the observed world and the world of faith. It must be difficult to close ones eyes to the realities surrounding you. How do you deal with facts you do not like?
