I am a virgin, and am by choice. I don't ever tell anyone i am, and only do so very late in the relationships, because i don't want to confuse people that i don't have sex!

Its hard sometimes, only because of persecution, and people judge you. But whatever I have decided to follow this path, has anyone followed this path and it really paid off, God Blessed them for being obedient?

So then why is it that god wont answer yes to any amputee but will to a ... hep c patient or a cancer patient or like my aunt gloria, chronic moles (whatever that means ... aunt gloria is a bit daffed, I always said, "Aunty, you dont have any moles..." Reply, "Exactly!") But I digress...
Does this mean god doesnt approve of amputees for some reason? Or could it be perhaps that there were no moles to begin with, or that the kimo worked etc...

is it just me or are more Catholics taking the time to defend Christ's Church and faith on yahoo answers???

About a year ago there were several of us kicking around today I see more and more of us countering the rubbish posted by anti-Catholics and fallen away Catholics who never knew their faith.

and that it grew back... you have to admit you'd be a bit skeptical, right?
You may not admit it here but... in the back of your mind, "God this guy must be nuts or something..."

I'm just sayin...

My daughter in law has informed me that she is Having Thanksgiving dinner and that she is just inviting HER side of the family, we are not invited apparently. She wants me to have our family dinner on Saturday so they can come to my house. My one son is in College and working and can only be home on Thanksgiving day so..If I agree to this I will have to make 2 Thanksgiving dinners ...I feel really put out by this but origianlly agreed to it. Now I am having second thoughts and think I will just have my Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving day and celabrate with my College age son and oldest son and family. I guess I would like to know what you all think...I don't want to be considered rude , but then again its HER rudeness that has caused this problem. Am I right?

In September 1999, Scientific American published figures showing that while 90% of the general American public believes in a personal God and an afterlife, only 40% of scientists who are BS-degree-only holders so believe and only 10% of scientists regarded as eminent believe in a personal God or an afterlife.

In a 1998 survey of more than 500 members of the National Academy of Scientists, it was found that 72% were atheists, 21% were agnostics and 7% believed in God. A very similar breakdown was found in relation to belief in an afterlife.

Have all come to a unity of the faith?
If past prophets are sufficient, why don't we just go with Adam or Moses?
Does not Christ have a mouth piece (prophet) now? If so, who is it?
To Catholics: John was head of the church after peter died.

And when people say christianity is the biggest religion, are they counting all those denominations, that are basicly each a different religion?

Seriously now.
I know that half are nationalists.
But can't you see, for example, that Ireland is dependant on other countries?
The economy only grew because of immigrants.
Imports from other countries brought more variety, than potatoes.
-fruit?clothes? technology, medicines,

Immigrants built houses.
They populated the country!
Workforce?

I've lived on most continents, and to be honest, this is one of the most racist coutries I have ever seen.

If you join the European Union, because you're soo poor and you need money, you can't just back out when you get your help.
And you immigrate to America? Why should they allow you in when you want to close your borders?

Consider this a vent. I hate it when people respond to honest answers or honest questions with (e.g.) "See? They're all wrong (and we are right)" or "No, because... well, just no."

Okay, those are exaggurated examples. But I've seen similar answers in response to questions in this section where atheists give answers *with* definitions, evidence and what not. The "If we pretend it's not there, it'll go away"-attitude actually comes from christians themselves!

I am an astrologer and experience the same attitude in people who don't "believe" in it. I could come to them with any evidence, scientifically acceptable, and they would still deny everything. Not taking the evidence in account and continue using their own personal favourites that - of course - contradict the idea that astrology might be real.

What shocks me, is that not atheists, but christians are submitting to the same sort of behaviour. Will christians please open their eyes?

PS; I'm pagan, not atheist, so you know

by letting men wear pants and have short hair istead of women, I think the right Idea is to let the men wear skirt because pants would make that area more noticeable and women should wear pants because that area is more flat and should have short hair so when they take care of the children their child would't be able to pull their hair.

Why when i want to fly the union jack i am treated and if i have comitted treason.. i want to fly it as im proud to be part of a nation that is UNITED.. and for our boys n girls that are fighting a political war.. in every other country in the world they are proud and allowed to show their patriotism especially the UNITED states of America who have the greatest concerntration of multiculturalism in the world.. where 99% of the population get on regardless of faith and colour!
Why not fly the flag of the country u have chosen or been born to live in.. because ur happy just to live in it.. and be pround of who u are in your home and enjoy the way u live.. and fly your own flag! wherever u come from.. its our heritage that shapes us not defines us.

It looks to me that just because somebody doesn't like the other's OPINION that God exists or does not exist, they rate people down. How overly sensitive.

I mean, it's okay to do so if they're CLAIMING that God does/doesn't exist (because there's usually no comprehensive evidence), but if not, it's just the answerers' beliefs and I don't think it's right to give them a thumbs-down.

What do you think?
