because of religious beliefs or lack thereof? I have met glorious people from every corner of the world and every corner of the spiritual map. Some are gorgeous and others are not but it never seems to hinge on religion. Thoughts? Namaste!

Honesty, dignity, respect, virtue, values, are these significant in a world where coping seems to be on the basis of right wrong, or good bad, where, bias, prejudice and injustice seem rife, whether from what appears a schizoid reaction, passive agression, or dellusion?

Perhaps, the old adage when we were kids, of "sticks and stones will hurt my bones, but words will never touch them?" Psychologically, in a loving, caring, compassionate world where all people have hurts, foibols, worries, fears, insecurities, neatly transcribed by neat groups organized as either "us, or them" as a mentality, has made defensiveness?

The issue whether attack or other wise, the polarisation of balance in extremism created to cope, is at best not continuing its purpose as ideal utopias collapse in the freeing up of ideas prescribed to allow accountability and responsibility to become stronger creating hope?

Has society's reactionary nature demanded our loyalty beyond our humanity, and if so, how?

I think there should be a rules-of-the-road policy in place that people looking for factual answers should favor heavily the first person that responds correctly. Each time I browse around here I continually notice a question looking for a factual response continues to get verbatim answers 2 days after it's been responded to!!! Is it just me or is this incredibly annoying? When you select a question to answer it indicates how many answers it already has, so if someone is asking what's 2+2, and you see it has 28 answers, what are you thinking responding here with 4? The only logical conclusion here is that you're fishing for points, Right?!?! You're thinking, 'maybe, if I answer 4 and then make a funny comment, or say have a nice day, I'll get the bonus points!!' what other logical conlusion is there for this behaviour.

Can someone please explain why this happens so frequently !!!!

It seems like they try to distract attention from their own sins (adultary and divorce) to gays and homosexuality.

Ok my fiance and his family are devout members of the church of christ. He told me of a situation that caused his church to split. Even his pastor left. A member got divorced from his wife, married another member, and supposedly this man was still allowed to pass out communion, lead in prayer, sing, etc.
Well everyone just had a fit that he was allowed to do this because it just wasnt right.
My argument is this, what makes these people feel like they have the right to pass judgement on this man for sinning, when everyday we sin?? Is this mans sin worse than other peoples sins? It is specific in the Bible not to judge other people and only God has the right to judge. Why is this teaching from Jesus being obviously overlooked by this new testament church? I want answers from other Church of christ goers.
Thanks

Do you ever think life may be depressing, and existence futile without the prescence of a higher entity? I am an agnostic, and it just seems so dull for existence to be based on aquiring material items.

I don't like it when people mendle with the dead. I don't care if it's a King or a slave they should be left in peace or cremated. Obviously they wouldn't want to cremate him but still, I don't think he likes his resting place being disturbed. How disrespectful..

Explain like I'm stupid: Is everything going wrong because people are having too much sex? or the wrong kind of sex? or teaching adolescents about sex? or not waiting to have sex until they're married and reasonably certain that they won't be divorced within six months? or what?

I'm especially interested in answers from (gulp) christians, since they seem to take so much interest in the subject.

(No, you needn't tell me _why_ you find it so fascinating, that's not my question and I don't want to know, thanks anyway.)

. I would rather let thousands of people die than to ever move out of the United States and into a third world nation. Also, I would do what was neccessary in order to survive. My money and happiness is more important than the well being of others because frankly I do not live in their shoes and never will. I also have no problem with lying as long as it advances me. I often pretend to have worldviews and throw compliments at the feet of others to be in good standing. I could care less about what people who cannot give me what I want think of me.

I've always wondered what you think of us. I've seen people move here and say that their friends made fun of them and that they thought we didn't wear shoes and didn't finish elementary school... what do you think?
