...he never gave it back?

2007-11-09 04:07:34 · 14 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

People often complain about how society has become too permissable in that there seems to be an "anything goes" type attitude.

However, do you believe that certain sexual taboos will never be considered permissable under any conditions, such as incest, bestiality, necrophilia, and pedophilia? In the last case, there are actually a few groups in existence that try to promote what they call "inter-generational sex".

A few years ago while taking a university summer course, I had a professor who condoned incestuous relationships, as long as they were "consensual". At first I thought he was just joking or playing devil's advocate. However, in one of the his articles which the class had to read for homework, he mentioned that as a teen, he actually lusted after his older brother.

While I consider myself to be an open-minded person, I found that to be extremely disturbing. Even gay friends of mine found that to be quite gross.

My daughter is 9. She's a little on the brand name stuff and that is expensive. Do you have a better idea on what she should get for Christmas?

We are really not the kind of people who make plans and do all those fun little things. I wish we were. I wish we did something else than wake up and open presents and watch TV. Its so ridiculous! Who watches the news on Christmas Day? My Mom always has to find something to tick someone off than she scrunches her face and doesn't talk then all my Dad does is watch tv and then my Mom gets mad at him for not even saying or doing anything except for watching stupid tv. You can watch the news during the week but Christmas is not the time! Really I wish we can do a traditional celebration where we all get into the spirit without someone getting ticked (Usually my Mom's fault) then I have to tell her "Come on Mom please don't do this your ruining everything" in a nice way. Also we have a business and my Parents are saying we can't close the store on Christmas eve so we have to stinkin work.
How can I make or do something that will put them in the mood? I can't drive I don't have allot of

I have begun using a 52 card deck for divination purposes. I realise that there a number of books out there on this subject, but the best meanings I have found thus far are located on the "Learning Cartomancy" website associated with Yahoo. I have also been doing research on the internet, incorporating everything I have found in my own binder that I have put together for this purpose. I have also recently acquired a Little Lenormand deck and am thrilled at the prospect of utilising both systems in my readings. I have also found some online meanings on this system, and because I read a few different languages, have found some websites from other countries which have been very useful. For this deck, of course, there's also the LWB that I am able to work with. Does anyone out there who is more experienced have any advice for me regarding my approach? Do you think that I am going about this wrong? Are there any internet materials that anyone has found innacurate? Thank you in advance!

why do the vast majority of believers pay for health insurance? if you think the "almighty, creator of the universe" is on your side, why do you need to human doctors? if you are really correct in your beliefs, you are putting an unnecessary burden onto health insurance companies and after 2008, the new state-run health insurance. sure, these companies make profits but you are also using up resources that bankrupt hospitals need because you dont believe what you preach. this is partly why a simple 1.5 hour deviated septum (in the nose) surgery costs around $30,000. ridiculous.

It wasn't talking about flowers. It wasn't talking about Folger's coffee. It wasn't talking about a crisp spring morning in Appalachians. It wasn't talking about a field of verdant clover.

It was talking about the smell of burning flesh.

How come the Bible god was so fond of the smell of burning flesh?

How about this: It was Moses who loved the smell of burning flesh, and so the god he invented did too.

What kind of explanation might the church folks offer?

I think one of the major reasons there is such an uprising of militant atheism is because of the whole creation/I.D debacle. Its really given atheists a cause to get behind. Your thoughts please?

Let me get this straight: I have a popular book on general knowledge called "Tell me Why" that I bought a few years ago and even there it is mentioned that the Theory of Evolution is rejected because of two things:

1. Apes and humans evolved along different evolutionary lines.

2. Charles Darwin himself did not accept the theory as the truth, but merely used this theory as a basis for his other researches.

What if some last part of it was lost, forbiding anyone to go to church? What if it was destroyed by the religious men who were scared that they will become poor if nobody goes to their churches? Oh, I think some of you are in real trouble now!

So, anyway before the flood, everyone used 100% of their brain. Then after the flood it went down to where now we are only capable of using 10%. Do you think that before the flood they may have had higher advancement in technology than what we have today?

It is common knowledge what most religions believe occurs after death whether it be Heaven or Hell, Summerland, etc. But what do you believe occurs before birth?

If you believe in souls, do you believe our soul exists before birth or do you believe it is created at the time of conception?
