By my brother and his football team, and Dad once had a talk with me then that was it. I am talking about Aunts and Uncles and cousins and what not. I have an older cousin who lives in Virginia, very religous family, and at a family BBQ this summer his wife came up to me and said "Do you mind if I use you and your guy as an example to my kids of just what a gay relationship should be?"
At first I was a little taken aback in an embarassed sort of way, so I told her not to make a big deal of it now, but later in private I think it would be lovely.
Now keep in mind that all these years he has come with me to weddings and funerals and holiday celebrations.
My way of looking at it is that none of them ever came to me for approval of their relationships. I automatically accept who they chose. I think it's what family does. I did tell my close circle of friends and told them it's really on a need to know basis. They told me, Dude, we're not stupid. It's cool.
Is this unusual?

Recently, as I have expressed before, my health has not been well.
Today, I hit a ghost like owl. It was very dark outside and raining. If I would have swerved, I definitely would have been seriously injured or killed.
The owl was standing in the middle of my lane and looking straight at me. Its eyes kind of shocked me. I didn't realize what it was until a second before I hit it. After that, I nearly drove off the road, into a ditch.
It was standing straight forward with its wings down. It was completely white. I live in Western Pennsylvania, if that helps at all.
Please someone help me to do a little research or share your knowledge. As far as I know, owls are often harbingers of death. They have always been very symbolic to my life, and I spent a lot of my adolescence painting dead owls on canvas (odd, huh?) I am very terrified over this. Thank you.

From what I've heard Christians anwer before, they said that the water became the oceans of today. But that doesn't make sense. Why? Because the oceans must've already been filled with water before or during the flood in order for the world to be flooded to the highest mountain peek. How could the world be flooded if the oceans aren't also filled with water? Now, how did the water go away? If it evaporated, it would've rained down again. And it could'nt have gone to the oceans either because the oceans are already filled with water.

Genesis tells a story of a boat that is supposed to be a little over 1.5 million cubic ft. (even though it would have to be substantially bigger to have held all the animals of the world). You have to assume that after the flood it came to rest on land. Granted it is said to have been 4200 years ago, but a structure of that size would still be around somewhere and you'd think would have been found by now. Is there any explanation of this in the bible?

And considering that the flood covered the highest mountain peek, most animals would impossibly be able to survive in such altitude.
And don't tell me that God intervened with His magic. If He did so, He could've just snapped His fingers and say "Abrakadabra", and skip the whole process.

I'm just little, an' I don't hate God. Grampa says some people hate God cause they don't want to think that God owns everything. I think that it's a good thing God owns everything, cause then I know that he can be in charge of all of it. Some people don't know how to be in charge of things, so I think it's smart for God to be in charge.
What do you think?

We just watched 2 hours worth of this topic on National Geographic and it is always the women who have circumcision, breast pounding, long necks brass rings, etc. to either "control" their sexuality or to keep them faithful, or prove their fidelity. Yet, men go through none of this, and it seems their fidelity/purity is not even brought up, like it is not even expected.

If he were (and actually existed) he would have made himself known to all ethnic groups and languages at the same time thus demonstrating his universality, all powerfulness and actual Love of mankind by avoiding religious wars.
One message sent to all corners of the Earth at the same time in all languages would have UNIFIED mankind behind one and only religion avoiding wars.

in July 1993....I attend a church in Columbus Ohio USA.I never really talked about or discussed the areas in which I struggled in such as same sex lust or anything like that due to the fact that people would treat me differently if they discovered such matters.After a while attending central teaching and home groups one of the members or males who is a Home Group leader was probing me for information in regards to areas in which I struggle in....I then told him that I struggled with homosexual tendencies as well as other areas of sin....I mean who doesnt. However, most sincere Christians love to gossip and spread all your dirt or nasty things around...and as a result...i sometimes feel that people treat me differently after finding out.My GOD.....what the Hell is up with this????? I mean...I keep things to myself and then people from all around gossip and throw attitude and arrogance out.....I really wish I would have kept my mouth shut....

I believe if the straight people do not want gay people to get married because it lessens the sanctity of marriage, then shouldn't it be illegal to get a divorce? If there is anything that lessens the sanctity of marriage, it would be divorce.

Can I please have the translation from a fluent Russian speaker and not from an online translator.
Я тебя помню
Этой волшебною , бархатной ночью
Я не могу уснуть , что - то мешает
Может случайно , а может нарочно
Только тебя опять я вспоминаю
В небе загорится новая звезда
Яркий луч её взлетит ко мне в ладони
И , возможно , ты почувствуешь тогда
Я тебя помню , я тебя помню
Это наедине кажется странным
Может быть , эта грусть утром растает
Сердцу порою так непостоянно
Только тебя сейчас мне не хватает
В небе загорится новая звезда
Яркий луч её взлетит ко мне в ладони
И , возможно , ты почувствуешь тогда
Я тебя помню , я тебя помню
