Recently, I joined the Mensa board. One thread had a "joke" that mocked dyslexics. A dyslexic responded that she had been offended. She was met with nothing but more insults.

I was rather quickly knocked off the air for arguing a rather simple, but uncommon, point. Rather than use logic, they simply got rid of me.

What in the world could be so great about scoring high on one aptitude test?

A fictional realm created in the minds of believers of organized religion worldwide, where the wicked are supposedly punished for their earthly sins. The clergy of religions that believe in this (e.g. Christianity) reference to this place as a method of mind control to enforce their standards of morals upon their gullible believers.

Tonight is halloween and as Christians we need to be aware that there are going to be children and animals sacrificed to satan. I am going to be interceding for those so that lives can be saved. We as followers of Christ have the authority, through Him, to see individuals saved from death, torture and satan's plan of destruction. Jesus gave us the authority over satan and his demons and their works to destroy. Christians, will you please take the time to pray for these adults, children and animals? Thank you for your prayers of intercession, God Bless You all.

( serious answers only, Please )
I am doing a 5 minute speech on Pope John Paul the second.
I've always admired him, but now that it comes time to writing about him, I realize I don't know much at all. Can you give me a topic of his I can go into detail about! I Really want to find out what he really ment when he chose the phrase "Be Not Afraid" I'd like to find out more about that. So, any suggestions, or information would be great. Thank you.

See http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/10/31/funeral.protests.ap/index.html for the full story.

Are you embarrassed by a church that would carry signs like "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags." The majority of Christians would never behave like this, do you agree?

Jail as well? Seems their Religious shenagans at the Funerals of Dead Soldiers has turned out to be quite costly. I think they should also spend some time in Jail.

I had an argument with work mates about saying 'your hair looks nice out' to a work mate. Now I told my girlfriend, thinking she would see why everyone over reacted and she is annoyed also that I made the comment. Was it an appropriate comment, since there was no flirting on my behalf?

Do any of you think the questions here on Seniors have become too generic or mild? If so, why?

It seems that just about all the comments from religious people here is steeped in ignorance and delusion. Most of them don't even know the bible well let alone compelling FACTS that most ordinary people would be aware of.

I'm from Australia which is a beautiful, happy and peaceful place where there are hardly any religious people. Is someone is very religious here they are seen as weird but in the States it seems to be the norm. Is that why people think that Americans are dumb?

According to definition, expierencing timelessness means perception of things that excluded time.

So if you were brushing your teeth, you would expierence before your teeth were clean, cleaning them and after they're clean all at the same time!

Technically you would not even exist, because you wouldn't be around long enough to.

This is no different from death in the non-afterlife sense.

People who have had near death expierences, say that they expierence timelessness.
This is extremily frightening to think about.

If you have had an near death expierence, when you expierenced timelessness; did you get this problem?

We are celebrating 4 birthdays (2 family and 2 friends) with an informal gathering at my house. Some invitees are family and they will bring gifts. Other invitees are friends and we've agreed not to exchange gifts. Is this bad etiquette? How should we handle opening the gifts? The family members would want to open gifts before the gathering breaks up. I'm concerned it is bad manners to open gifts in front of others.
