She ticked a box refusing a blood transfusion! Her JW husband is distraught and she has motherless twins - how can this be right? I could have cried when I read the papers this morning. How do they REALLY know they are going to a better place.

If you grew up as a girl, became engaged to a man, then found out in blood tests that you are actually male (XY), is it a sin to marry the man you are engaged to?

Despite having external female genitalia and breasts, because you are genetically a man, does this mean that you must now attempt to find a woman who will marry you?

Or is it an abomination for anyone who is physically incapable of creating children to get married and have a lifetime partner?

I have heard the phrase "God doesn't make junk," and since so many people exist who are neither clearly male or female, and so many Christians claim strict sexual rules, how do those rules apply to people who are assigned--in the womb--a gender that is neither plainly male nor female?

What kind of nutcase warns a KID that the "world is coming to an end?

There's a young girl who asked a question, about when the world was gonna end. She said her @!!^%$& parents go around lamenting, "The world is going to end so you'd better prepare!"

Now, that's not bad enough ... but some fundie freakazoids, after reading the girl's question, & obviously (if they had even ONE functioning brain cell) concluding that she's scared & wants assurances ... WENT AHEAD & TOLD HER THE FRIGGIN' APOCALYPSE WAS COMING & WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!

WHY WOULD ANY IDIOT DO THAT ... AGAIN ... TO A KID?

I am bewildered at the complete & utter lunacy of an answer like that!

1. Do they not have an ounce of compassion in them?

2. Can they not offer REAL advice?

3. Are they so wrapped up in their narcissistic God-mania that they can't suspend the freaking lectures for ONE ANSWER in order to calm the fears of a youngster?


(I can't believe some of these people.....)

A little backstory:

I work closing night-shift at KFC and while I'm dusting off the carpets outside I find the body of a bird. Calling it a body may be stretching it, there was very little of it left. It was just the feathered wings connected together by bone and tendon. It was however fresh, with bits of pink meat attached to the bones. Next to this was a bone-handled, serrated bread knife.

Several hours earlier, while having a smoke break, I had seen a few limes and smashed guavas lying around the parking lot. I had not yet seen the bird so I made no connection.

Later on, I realize the connection and noticed that the limes were in fact squeezed, making a sparse line of juice around the front of the store. There were also at least a half dozen limes lined up against the parking curb in front of the main restaurant entrance.

Now, I'm not a believer or anything like that, but I am curious as toward the person(s) intentions.

What is this "spell" supposed to do in Voodoo/Hoodoo?

You know when you've been insulted with a smile? You know you've been insulted, they know you've been insulted but it's been done in such a way that if you pull them up on it they can just deny it outright and say they didn't mean it like that which then just makes you look paranoid and childish.

Bible III
think about it, when people started to realise the first bible was bollocks they wrote a new one so the foolish people would stay fooled, nowadays more and more people are realising the bible is kak, so should they write a new one, they could use the story line from the film Dogma for one of the storys, there ya go, i've got it started!
if ya want ya can just make up another story for it, lets see if we cant get a good start on it.
BE QUICK THOUGH, this will prob be violated and removed soon!!!!

Why do people believe the historical records based on hear-say about Alexander the Great written 400 years after his death but discount the historical writing about the life of Jesus written some 60 years after his "death"?

Every time someone tells me to 'pray to God' or 'God bless' etc I politely tell them that I don't believe in God and I have my own beliefs I get abused and told that 'I should believe in God because when I die I'll go to Hell' and etc.

My next door neighbour yelled out across the hedge the other day 'God loves all his children, just like he loves you. The church doors are always open'.

What if I don't believe in this?

I don't go around telling me to believe what I believe so what on earth gives them the right to abuse me and hassle me about it?

We've all heard the 2 expressions. We've all probably used them also.

Are the 2 a contradiction in terms? If anything's possible (meaning there's a rational explanation for anything), do miracles really exist???

If you believe one, can you believe the other???

Your thoughts???

Prophet Muhammed said about the future that when sexual promiscuity becomes rampant new diseases will emerge in the world.

Considering AIDS and other sexual diseases which emerged only recently, do we see a prophecy here?

I didn’t know that but apparently it’s true. I got this answer from a real Christian the other day.

“…some of us need constant reminder of whom we believe in, will help us get through our days without feeling abandoned or so upset that we kill the family in the next car, or everyone in the nearest shopping mall.”
