You have to prove a thing does exist. Can you prove a Unicorn or Big Foot doesn't exist?

Is there such a thing as an FTM not getting her testosterone shots and just continue cross dressing? Also, when she ( or is it he?) grows old she (he?) will not really look male any more because the FTM has not gotten any t shots.

So is it possible for an FTM to live her life as male without getting any t shots?

On what premises do you justify the opposition to embryonic stem cell research, science that is believed to potentially save lives if the sanctity of life is brought into question? On what Biblical grounds is this forbidden? On what Biblical grounds is abortion forbidden?

Final question for the 10 people left who still support the Iraq Invasion: On what premises can you say that you are pro-life?

I'm a Christian myself, just not a conservative, so don't consider these to be loaded questions, I simply want to hear perspective.

This muslim friend of mine comes to work and he has his prayer mat rolled up under his arm... and I say "Did you fly in this morning Fahim"?

Right?

And he says... "No, I need to buy the upgrade. Do you reckon the boss will give me a salary increase"?

(True story by the way)

I was looking into the JW and they believe that Christmas and most Christian holidays are pagan. Can you provide proof that is is true or false? Any references besides the Bible....

This is a discussion on the theory of evolution, which I believe likely to be true, by the way. Can you cite something, anything, that provides evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that a supernatural parallel that guided evolution, undetectable by physical science, DOES NOT exist?

With all due respect, I don't see how any intellecually honest individual could adequately answer this question asserting absolute knowledge on the non-existence of such a component. Yes, natural selection is a great way to explain biological adaptations without mention of a designer, but only in the sense (at least to me) that it is does not facilitate the necessity for theology. The fact is that in the possibility of a metaphysical realm undetectable by current science, disproof of a designer is philosophically impossible, and the complexities of natural selection only seems to indicate (to me) that the existence of God is at least, very possible.
You're welcome to take a crack at it!

I go to a top art college in nyc, i made some good friends, they all come from upper middle class backgrounds. One friend has an apartment in the city her parents pay for, i went to her parents home in upstate NY , they have a boat, nice 3 story house, cars, nice decor, etc.. all my friends are like this now..

Im really ashamed to invite them to where i live, but i know their prob wondering why i havent. I live in a poor area, in a rent controlled walk up, people blast music all night, play dominos in the street, have housing projects, thugs, etc. I have baby furniture still in my room, my mom is too poor to buy anything else.
i am white btw.
I just cant bear to invite them. I feel they will think less of me, be turned off, make fun of me, feel bad for me, etc
i told one girl i live with my Mom so you dont want to come over its boring...
I invited my ex over who came from a nice area, he was shocked, he told me he cant beleive someone like me lives in an area like this.

You will find more about yourself, the world and God by reading the Bible and praying than asking for the limited views of every single person.

Tell me what you think...

the question get's reported? It's not like the questions breach community guidelines or anything! Yamster writes back and says thanks for letting them know that they are wrongly reported.

You know.. I already know that they are ignorant questions! I wouldn't be asking if I had any idea about what the answers are!

But if people are to get along spiritually in life, you (I mean you Muslims) have to start breaking down the invisible barriers that separate us. Do you really think reporting me going to stop me from asking a spiritual question about Allah or Mohummad in this section?

Would you put the people on earth, who you care about, below God?

Could you be content while in heaven, knowing people that you do care about burning in hell?

I was raised Christian and until last year I stopped believing in the "God" from the good old bible. The reason for is because this great and mighty lord that I was raised to believe, love and follow had thrown me for a loop when reading about how he asked Abraham to sacrifice his son as a test to see how faithful he was. And then right when Abraham was about to do it God had him sacrifice a goat instead.To me that was really mean, and the God I want to believe in wouldn't play those kind of dirty, low, games. Also wasn't the Bible Edited by King James? How can a man revise the bible? & of all things this man murdered his wife... So everyone says if you don't believe your going to hell, or the JW's say you will not be resurrected. "So that alone seems pretty low, believe in me or I will ruin your life"?
Since I stopped believing this this God I have had a lot of bad things happen. So is the works of God or the Devil or just Bad Luck?

Having watched many shows on the channels about unresolved murders, there are many cases where law enforcement has repeated called in certain psychics who have no foreknowledge of the crime.

So, you don't believe in God. But seriously, how can you sit with a straight face and try to explain away these people who reliably get results?

If you don't believe in psychics, why isn't there more of a movement to get those excluded from use in law enforcement?
