Why do people get upset if gies use hi cut panties and not boxers or jockey shorts whrn they are made the same shape onyway. I have used hi cut panties for years now and they are a lot better than jockeys ever were. My wife gots them for me sometimes and I get them at Lane Bryant. I like the feel and Im not gay.

In Luke 14:26 Jesus says, "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and sister, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple". Yet the Bible is filled with passages admonishing us to honor our mother and father; and to love our wives. Do we have a contradiction?

I just found out that my best friend's son-in-law was killed last night in a terrible auto accident. She is so grateful they had a good, open, relationship and she frequently told him how much she loved him.

I am trying to live a life of chastity like the Mormons but am having a difficult time not "doing it solo" in my sleep. This really irritates me because it would ruin my chances of joining the priesthood. Therefore, I am saving up and researching some chastity belt companies to help "keep me pure." I may want to convert to LDS but the "doing it solo" problem could prevent my acceptance in that religion.

Please let me know of your success with chastity belts! What else do you suggest for the prevention of "doing it solo"?

Also, non-Mormons please don't write dirty jokes here!

I posed something before about my boyfriend being offended by the abbreviation 'Xmas' even though he's not really religious and it got me thinking to other times when he was inexplicably opinionated about a particular religious issue.
x There's Xmas taking Christ out of Christmas
x He wants a manger at Christmas time
x He's actually told me that when we get married, he wants his friend, who is a PAGAN WITCH to marry us
x When we went to his Grandmother's funeral, he was a little upset that I didn't go up and accept Communion (I didn't think it would be appropriate because I'm an atheist and don't believe)
x He insisted we have a star or angel on the top of the tree (e.g. no Santa) because of something to do with the Star of Bethlehem and the Wise Men.

What is going on with him? These things are over the last 2 years so it's not all at one time, like he's all of a sudden religious, but I dont' see how you can want a Pagan Witch to marry you but youre offended by the abbreviation Xmas.

Why aren't you in the Christian section?"There isn't one" is not a satisfactory answer.You don't accept the "no atheist category"as to why atheists are here.Are you not strong in your faith?Why DO you hang out among Buddhists,Wiccans,and Pagans,and Atheists?Are you thinking of converting?What,You are simply INTERESTED?In Wicca?In Atheism?Why then,can we not be interested also.Seems to me,you are the only ones complaining,are you afraid that tenuous shell of unreality you must hold onto will crumble by hearing atheists words?Well,give a good answer as to why are you here....or SHUT UP ABOUT US BEING HERE,once and for all

Is the saying "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one" really accurate???

If this is true...what are your feelings on minority rights?? Should the needs of the few be taken into consideration at all?

If so, in what ways???

Just a few examples to consider...

The majority was in favor of slavery...we even fought a war over this one.

When women were obtaining the right to vote, the male majority was greatly opposed to this....why?

The majority were in favor of prohibition. The minority had that amendment overturned.

I'm sure there are other examples I failed to mention.

Should the minority have any say in opposition to majority rights???

I chose to ask this question in this section because many feel that when it comes to the topic of religion, that anybody who is not a believer needs to "sit down and shut up."

My husband received a job offer in Houston and we are considering taking it. We live in Los Angeles and my husband and daughters are hispanic. We are considering moving to an area like Sugar Land but I am concerned about everything you hear about Texas and racism. I do not intend to be insulting or narrow minded, I just want to make sure my children (6 and 8 years old) can grow up in an area where they can be happy. Thank you in advanced for all your answers.

"Does God Exist" is a stupid question isn't it? It's like asking "does x exist?" - it doesn't mean anything unless you define x. If x = an abstract entity as reported in a book, then the answer can only ever be "maybe". But there are other definitions of x - The Gospel of Thomas, the Tao Te Ching, the writings or teachings of Meister Eckhart, Sri Ramana Maharshi, B. Long and E. Tolle. For them x = a miraculous yet simple direct experience of reality now, unaffected and unconditioned by thought (i.e. all belief, hope, memory and idea) and emotion (i.e. all desire, anxiety, depression and excitement). Naturally x cannot exist if you are identified with your thoughts and emotions, as is most of the world; unlikely then you've sought or found the writings and teachings mentioned above, instead sidetracked by the tiresome science vs religion distraction. But if, by some sweet silent impulse, you know that there is something more to life than worldly living, perhaps you know if x exists?

No, I am not denying the possibility of global warming. I dispute the possibility/probability that it is caused directly by the actions of mankind. When I question the theory of man made global warming often times (it is only a theory YET to be PROVEN!!!) responses will include this phrase "Even if that is so (that is I am right) isn't it better to be on the safe side?"
Does this sound anything like logic? NO.
If this is your method of reasoning, does it not make perfect sense to continue using the death penalty on convicted felons? One may argue that "We should not take the risk of ending the life of an innocent person!"
I may simply respond "But, isn't it better to be on the safe side and be rid of another convicted felon, one who may commit some other heinous act?"
What say you to this line of thought?
