Why do you all continually say "Mormons believe (insert your favorite thing), this is wrong" and when we correct you, as we always do, you still continue to say we believe these things?

Like, why do you say things like "Mormons worship Joseph Smith over Jesus" or "Mormons believe the Book of Mormon OVER the Bible"? When we come back with "No, we don't believe ABC or XYZ" you all still insist that we do.

Is it because those who tell you what we supposedly believe also tell you that all Mormons lie about what they believe? Or do you think we're just stupid or something?

I want to carve it and put it on my entertainment center with a candle inside, but I don't want it to attract bugs or the dreaded gnat! Is there something I can spray on it or anything that will allow me to keep it inside? Thanks!

I am asexual. I am not sexually attracted to girls OR guys. I was raised non-denominational Christian. I go to church every Sunday, and I believe in G-d and I know that Jesus Christ is my savior. My question is, is asexuality a sin? I have tried to be attracted to girls, but I just can't. I don't find any of them attractive. (I don't find any guys attractive either, but I don't want to, ew.)

Can someone please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

My mother was a hippie of sorts when I was young so I grew up listening to the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, etc. She became "born again" when I was about 10. The day she got "saved", she took all of those beautiful albums and smashed them up to smithereens with a sledge hammer in our backyard. I cried and begged her to just give them to me but she "rebuked" me. I ran into my room and cried for a long time. I will never forget that. What do you think of this?

Moriaes Fate says, 'For the billionth time... atheists do not care what you believe so long as you leave us out of your little fantasy.'

Are you trying to convert me to atheism? Ain't gonna happen? I was there, all of us were.

WHY NOT BE TOLERANT and leave the section for people who really want to discuss and debate religious issues? Seriously. You must know it is evil just for the purposes of being wicked and cruel?

I am so obsessed with Ed hardy and i always wear it to school to show off all my Ed Hardy shirts . I always get so many comments when I rock it like "nice shirt". One girl even called me fashionable. Additionally I get a lot of stares. Does wearing Ed Hardy to school make me the most fashionable person there. By the way Ive been getting a lot of bad looks from a tiny group of envy Abercrombie people lol what does this also mean?

In a question I asked here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoELRPfUH42RNv_IKWhO89bd7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20071023125156AAygsCx

Some were very condemnatory of the fact I am a married mother of three kids and I am not against gay marriage. Someone asked me if I am not concerned about the welfare of my kids.

But gay people have been having civil unions or marriage for over a decade now in places like Denmark and Netherlands and extensive research has been done on gay families by the American Pediatric Association among many international organizations and there is NO conclusive evidence that they pose ANY threat to other families or society, let along MINE. In fact research from the Netherlands shows that lesbian mothers were more committed to the task of parenting than most straight fathers.

Can anyone present some conclusive evidence by a respected source that proves gay people being given equal civil and legal protections will damage MY family and harm my kids?

You're alive, right?

Most likely, that means your parents had sex.

Let that soak in a minute.

I read thru Rev Chap 6 and the 1st part of Chap 7 and I wonder as a matter of interperatation, is it likely that we in this time are on the brink of the opening of the 7 seals, of the Lord if not actually in the middle of it? (I'm thinking 4th seal in my opinion)
We live in a time where our economic situation in the US is in upheaval. The recent problem with China, and all the contaminated pet food products, and our own situation with the corn for food or fuel issue, price increases and shortages. If our own government can't determine when pet food is tainted or toys for that matter, how long will it be before the food for human consumption is contaminated. (rice meal in babby food?)
Is it possible that we are experiencing the 4 horsemen now, and that soon more is to come? Fires, drought, earthquakes, flooding, fears of pandemics or plagues, global warming, hints of WWIII, brutal random killings. This was the Revelation of Jesus to John regarding the last days? any thoughts?

Basically I sell bridal dresses and lingerie although I am male. I am a cross dresser so I guess you could say if people saw me dressed that way they could make assumptions about me. But are you assumed to be something, even if you are not, just because of the type of work you do? Do people selling womens shoes necessarily turn out to be cross dressers, or are gay because you have a friend who is gay? Where do these incorrect assumptions come from? I guess I don't mind if people know I cross dress, but I'd rather they not think I was gay or bi. Does it really matter?!

Im a transcendentalist so big part of my life is enjoying nature. Naturally, walks in the park alone is something i just do. Usually on a sunday morning you can see me in this lovely park with a majestic lake with my dog, ipod and cup of coffee. However sometimes i'll see people staring at me in a really weird way. As if im some some pedophile (although im only 17). Whats wrong with young girls taking a walk in the park alone?

Its funny how you people spin my questions around to fit your agenda. Okay so NO, Einstein did not have a religion, BUT HE DID BELIEVE IN GOD. I did not say Christianity, I did not say Muslim, I said he believed in God. Nothing more, okay so he was a pantheist, or a deist, whatever. THAT STILL SAYS HE BELIEVED IN A HIGHER BEING.

However you all, or specifically atheists, try to somehow justify why I’m still wrong. Most of you never answered my question, you just tried to spin in order to justify your own disbelief. Both Hawking and Einstein, and yes PEOPLE Hawking does believe in a higher being (Gosh your so arrogant and close minded) . I DID NOT SAY RELIGION, a God, nothing more nothing less. So no matter what atheists, as much as you try to say science and other means prove no God, the greatest minds that ever walked this earth believe in something greater than them. Why do you deny such a possibility?

If my child were pregnant and did not want to carry the child to term, is there a network of anti-abortion activists who would voulunteer to surrogate this child? My daughter doesn't want it, but far be it for me to keep it from loving adopptive parents as long as you are willing to carry it. You dont' have to keep it - you could give it up for adoption if you wanted.

Just wondering.

For my Anthropology class, we have to break a gender stereotype. The guys have to go out in public and do something that is considered feminine (like wear a purse or make-up) and the girls have to go out in public and do something considered masculine (like sit with our legs open). So what's something that I can do that is considered masculine?

I've always been a Christian. But I hate myself for things I did before my faith was really strong. It started with a game.

In the game, you answer innocent trivia. If you're right, you do a skit--like immitate a fashion model (vanity) or pretend to be a snail in love (lust). After you do the skit, you go forward. Eventually, moving forward takes you to a circle called Hell; first one there wins. The game's called 7 Deady Sins...but we only did the silly skits.

But the worst thing is, to decide turns, you have to roll a 6 three times! The first time I played, I recall not thinking much of it. I thought it was a silly game. I didn't know that blasphemy is insulting God. (Not that I meant to!) The last time was yrs ago. I may have understood blasphemy then. When it was my turn to roll, I said, "I'm afraid of this number. Let me roll another." But my friends said no. Eventually, I said "Fine, but for the record, I am NOT evil." I rolled. Now I'm sick with regret.
