I don't wanna start a relationship or have sex with a woman but when i masturbate and have sexual thoughts 95% of the time its about me being a man and having sex with a woman. Does this mean i'm bi or will this lead into me wanting to form a physical relationship with a woman?

Is making the choice to no longer carry resentments toward others the same as forgiving them? Is this done without judgement? If you are able to do this, can you love your neighbor as yourself?

Science views the world and us in it in a very mechanistic way. Life is defifined as a process, the functioning of the human as a complex mechanism existing with in the highly organised, complex system of the planets biospheres and ecosystems. To science man is a pre programmed mechanism whose experiences, thoughts, desire, feelings and intelligence is predetermined by genetic programming that limits your ability to respond in any given environment. There is no such thing as freedom of will, just the illusion, which is also genetically predetermined. Who and how you love is not your choice but determined by inherent chemisty.

Religion and spirituality on the other hand sees man as a being whose reach goes far beyond the physical and who was created as an act of love by a loving and caring God who strives to encourage all it's creation to aim for an eternal paradise. Religon sees man as having a choice to decide to be good or not, to choose heaven or hell, to believe in God or no

OK.

Our professor wants to know what we would do if we had a time machine and went back in time to find Jesus, or Paul, or any of the Apostles.

We go back in time and find out that Jesus was just an ordinary guy who had a wife and did magic tricks, and that Paul was busy creating a religion so he could cause trouble.

In other words, we saw it all first hand, and you meet Mary and she laughs when you ask her about a virgin birth, and you go back to all the miraculous events of the Bible and find out that they are actually exaggerations and that you couldn't verify any miracle - not the flood, not noah, not a pilar of fire, not adam and eve, not walking on water - nothing!
In fact, you learn that Christianity evolved into the story it is today through forgeries and manipulation!

Q:1. Pretend this all really happened
2. How would your life change.?

if the G man is as great as every1 says then y did he even created a tree that gets u kicked out of paradise and how could he blame man for eating an apple when he created everything. if god exsists then absolutely everything that people do is his fault. he created frre will and what it makes people do.

They say a bad craftsman blames his tools.

Atheism is not a religion, just like theism is not a religion. It is not a set of beliefs as religion is defined. Religions such as Christianity and Judaism claim to follow the teaching of God. These teachings are the religion, God is not the religion.

I am so glad and happy that my sweet Jesus has shown me how to live a sinless life!

I have never broken a single commandment and my thoughts are pure as snow. I have loved Jesus since I was born and am anointed to preach the Gospel of Jesus!

Jesus Loves you and if you don't believe in Him you are going to Hell! I feel bad for you, but cannot feel but so bad, because it is Jesus' will that you go to Hell if you do not believe what is said about Him!!!

People who do not believe that a virgin gave birth, that Jesus walked on water and performed miracles and that the Bible is the only ABSOLUTE TRUTH in existence are going to boil in Hell forever!

Believe me, brothers... You can live a perfect life - Jesus said, be ye perfect as I am perfect.... and it IS POSSIBLE!!! Through the blood of the risen savior! Come join me in PERFECTNESS!!

Can anyone suggest a good training center or school around the San Francisco Bay area to learn how to speak Spanish. I have no background in Spanish whatsoever, so i'll have to start from scratch. If anyone has any idea of the duration and cost of such a program that'll be great.

This story seems to be hushed in the San Francisco area and everywhere.

I only caught the ending of the story on the Bill O'Reilly show last night.

Gay activists in San Francisco are caught on tape mocking the Catholic Church... right there inside a church!

Do you know of a website to read more on this?

There is no mention of this on any online San Francisco newspaper.

I found this very disrespectful and disgusting.....whether it happened in a Catholic Church or in any place of any worship.

My colleague, Windom Earl asked if god would forgive people who repent in hell. This is onie of the theist answers:

'Who said God has to be fair? God does exactly what he wants and fairness has nothing to do with it. He can make you burn forever for no reason whatever, and there may be some in Hell just cause God didn't like the looks of them. Don't complain, if you know what's best for you.'

Well I certainly can't complain that the description of god as a vile, petty, unjust, vindictive sickening bully is in contradiction to the bible, but honestly would any sane person want to worship something which is ethically, emotionally and intellectually inferior to you in every way?

I can understand trolling, but come on, that's just sad.

The worst part is 90% of the people who answer think it's a legit question.

This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise.

When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi. As they "oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.

"It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven."

Next they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth.

The old man asked, "what are the green fees?".

Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free."

Next they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the world laid out.

"How much to eat?" asked the old man.

"Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!" Peter replied with some exasperation.

"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly.

Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven."

With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong.

The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"

Ok...so the Young Men's(which there are like 3 or 4 I live in a branch ok??) need a new YM instructor. Anyway, I know alot about the church(and can learn more) and I think that if I were called to be the YM's instructor, by reading the book to talk to them about it, I would learn a lot faster.

Would it be innapropriate to talk to my branch president and tell him my feelings?
