Seems to me that every other question asked by christians is obsessing in some way with what I do in bed, if they are so curious why don't they visit a gay bar and find out first hand.

I must admit I am also now finding it hard to find a different way of answering the same questions over and over on this subject

I live in carmichael ca, and recently this week a close friend of mine was shot in the head during a robbery in an apartment complex in carmichael. He was 20 years old. I am worrying about his soul. I have proof in my heart and things that have happened to me that I TRUELY belive in life after death. I happen to believe in the catholic religion. He was almost the perfect person. He was so unselfish and non-materilistic and would give you money if you had none even tho he didnt have enough money to pay his rent. He would walk old ladys across the street. He was also VERY forgiving he never wanted to be in an arguement and he loved everyone. He always introduced himself to strangers. He was all about justice and was in the process of being a sheriff and alwasy wanted to be a hero a savior. But he was agnostic. He was open to the idea of god but he would just say I dont know. He would listen to what we had to say but was not sure if he believed it. I do know he believed more and more each

In my quest for absolute peace, I have been slowly leaving bits and pieces of my life behind. Things that I once thought were important to me, I realised weren't, and cast them aside. I do not need things like games and TV to find happiness and peace.

So I've left them behind me. Unfortunately, I've now realised that Answers is not going to help, either. My journey is with myself, by myself, and for myself, so I am planning to leave my computer behind, too.

*maybe* I'll be back, but I don't think so

((((HUGS EVERYONE, many times over))))

Hi I' a straight 14year old guy but i prefer to be thought of as a girl and at my local youth club there's a poster for a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Club for teenagers age 13-18 and I'd like to go there so I can just be amoung people like me and just to have a good time and maybe do things I've never had the guts to do in public like wearing girls clothin but I'm worried that if I join my family might find out.
What can I do?

When I looked at this question, I was astounded: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqwXdHvj8WK7Knog4YFhunvpy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071012055548AAJAL3B

I mean, just look at the best answer, and then look at the first two after that. What kind of comparison is that! What is wrong with some of you people. All the evidence is right in front of you, and sitting there and saying, "Evolution is a lie from Satan" is just being intellicually dishonest and making yourself look like a fool.

Why do you disbelieve in evolution simpy because it doesn't agree with your "sacred text," and not because you actually find anything wrong with the theory?

Everything that could go wrong with this guy went wrong. Everytime I tried showing him that I liked him, the opposite went across. Misunderstanding after misunderstanding. Guy eventually thought he was being played & started to be mean to me and harass. Now I loathe him. Turns out, he had a girlfriend the whole time. Could it be that God was intervening? Preventing me from getting hurt by a bad guy?

it bothers me alot that my aunts work their butt off at laundry-mats, and at factories getting paid very little, and their pastor has a hummer, a lexus, and a bmw...and he bought his daughter a lexus! and they live in a mansion!! and his wife has a lot of jewlery and fur coats....so instead of using that money for the benefit of the church and the people, why do they used it for themselves???

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God

I googled a lot last night and could not find 1 reference that was not biblical to back up the biblical account of the crucifixition. That is--if people got out of their graves and walked into Jerusalem, even Rome would have known about this--and yet no references to "Dead Men Walking". Can't find any records of any earthquakes strong enough to rend stone--and if they were strong enough to rend stone-then Jerusalem itself would have been damaged. There is no record of any.

For example, creationism in schools and gay marriage. Should we ignore the 1st ammendment? Should we ignore the fact that everyone in this country is supposed to have equal rights? Should our country violate the seperation of church and state and cater to a specific religion just because they over power the government? Should the US be a "Christian Country"? If so, why?

This world was made to be a vacation spot for our spirits. To see the beauty, and watch the animals play. But we have the ability to bond with things on a spiritual level and experience what it is like to be that thing. And the first higher spirits stayed around too long and got trapped by the forces that make this material world. Then the human form was introduced so we have a body that can deal with the hardships of this world, as well as the intelligence to find our way back.

Hello all! I pray that you are all doing well this afternoon. I have been reading from the OT and I just think that it is fascinating! In Genesis 32 we read about an encounter that Jacob had that left him limp.
Jacob wrestles with God:
...and a man came and wrestled with him until dawn. When he saw that he couldn't win the match, he struck Jacob's hip and knocked it out of joint at the socket.
Jacob: I will not let you go unless you bless me.
Man: What is your name?
Jacob
....Your name will no longer be Jacob,
it is now Israel because you have struggled with God and men and you have won.
........Jacob named the place Peniel for he said "I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared."
Conteplating this very real encounter Jacob had, I was struck by the meaning of it.
Israel means "God struggles", or "one who struggles with God."
We see that this is a parallel of future events. Israel will struggle with God and with man, and just like Jacob overcame

Do you think that creationism and evolution are comparable? Are they really opposites? What does evolution have to do with the creation of man OR atheism? A lot of people mistake evolution with the whole man from an ape thing when really it's mostly about survival of the fittest and how animals change(evolve) in order to survive. Why do creationists choose not to believe it when there are facts that prove it to be true and that it still happens today. Why do creationists attack evolution instead of the big bang theory? Wouldn't creation vs. big bang theory be a more sensible argument? After all, the big bang theory explains how the earth was created, or tries to. I'm not Christian bashing here, I just want some opinions and answers from both sides.

Hm? Huh? Why? Why does it have it be proven? Why do you absolutely have to have proof? You take for granted that there are billions of stars in the universe, but have you ever counted to a billion? how do you know a billion exists?

if you don't know what i'm talking about, get the hell out of R&S, it should be obvious.

I am asking for both sides from each person. There are good and bad things about pot. It should be legalized because it helps people to relax. A reason it shouldn't be legalized is you get addicted to it and turn into a robot if you're not careful.

Where I live, dutch is the official language, but West-Flemish is spoken over here more than dutch. In fact, dutch is being seen as haughty, however, the dutchification of our people has been progressing as to the generation after me not being able to speak WF as fluently as we can.

In France (imagine that) West-Flemish is recognized as a minority language. In France, a country that's so hard at languages other than French, people are thinking of putting Bilingual street signs (Flemish / French) and are starting to learn WF again (the Flemish government in Belgium thinks this is wrong, because Dutch is more widely spoken, yet they have never spoken dutch over there). But over here, WF is being ridiculized, laughed at, mocked, subtitled... And not recognized at all. Should we also start to ask for recognition ?
