I am inviting people to celebrate my birthday at a fancy restaurant, but my husband is paying for the entire bill. I know a few of my guests will be turned off by the thought of having to pay for such expensive meals, so I want to tastefully mention in the invitation that they won't have to pay. But how can I word that?

My opinion is that a lot people are too religious, but nowhere near spiritual enough. Spiritual people don't harass others and threaten them with imaginary torture. What do you think the single biggest problem with religion and spirituality is?

as an atheist, I would agree to read carefully (and be prepared to discuss) one chapter (of your choice) of the Bible ...

if you, as a fundamentalist Christian, would be willing to read carefully (and be prepared to discuss) one chapter (of my choice) of Dawkins' The God Delusion.

This is an ideal opportunity to potentially make a convert.

With so many religions, I am completely confused...


I want to know if the Mormons are right or are they wrong???
What if The Muslims are right???

Personally I am Non-Denominational and I was raised in a Baptist family. My employer is Jahovah's Witness and I work and live here in Utah where it's at least 70 % LDS.

How do I know what and who's right so I can get to heaven???

Mosiah 2: 21 I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants.

I know it is not in the bible, so if you feel you can see through your defense mechanisms to answer please do. I would love to know what you think.

I think anyone who cliams to believe in both is contradicting themselves. It completely confuses me.

1. According to the bible, the entire human race is born from Adam and Eve, not evolution. The notion of "original sin" also came from the notorious two.

I've heard the argument "This is just a fairytale, I believe Jesus died for my sins and in Darwin's theory of evolution.

2. Jesus died on the cross to save his people from original sin. The basis of Christianity. How can people dismiss the story of Adam and Eve as fictional when they're whole faith hangs on the original sin they are said to have created??

I'm Atheist btw, and I would love to understand this. It makes no sense to me. Well nothing in terms of religon really does.

I would personally call her "Birthday Girl" but I'm interested to know what awesome qualities you all see and now in her.

Tigger is turning 20 today. She is one of the most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Tig is already in law school. She is brilliantly analytic, logical, and suffused with knowledge. At the same time she remains modest, kind, spiritual, and incredibly tuned in to the feelings of others. She is by far one of my closest friends on here. I'm crazy about Tig.

Please take time, if you know Tig, to wish her a happy birthday and let her know what 'role' she really would play in a Buddhist philosophy. This is one girl I could see reaching nirvana.

Happy Birthday, Tigger. Love you.

Why don't they focus on who really matters, and that is Jesus Christ. Did Mary take away the sins of the world? Is Mary God in the flesh? Did Mary die a horrible death on the cross so we sinners could be saved? Did Mary plan the salvation? Did Mary really have a choice in it? Could she have refused God? Please put the Glory where it belongs---On Jesus Christ, our living God, who was in the beginning, and already had the plan set in motion!!!!!! He is the one we should focus on and worship. No one else!

I understand that the original records were written in a language other than our own, but why must there be so many different translations of God's scripture? It would be one thing if the different translations all said/implied the same thing, but having so many versions out there causes so many people to be confused and misled. There are people out there who claim that you cannot "change or add to the word of God" and yet those very same people are reading from a Bible that was translated very recently. It is my belief that many plain and precious truths have been lost as a result of bible-altering philosophies of man. What do you think?

Multiple Choice

A) The capacity to believe that which you know to be untrue.

B) To accept as true without evidence.

The bible calls faith "The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This fits in with B.

If A or B are true, why is that virtuous? Why does nobility of faith increase as the amount of evidence decreases?

Also. Is faith intellectually honest?

How is the Book of Mormon as a supplement to the Bible justified? According to that law from God, it is adding to his word which no one is supposed to do.

I have been on this site for about seven months and have never seen an athiest pick on a Jew or a Muslim. They seem to focus all their attention on Christians.
Why is that?

HI! This is the lucky one that is with Gareth. Right now he is a little upset because some people here are trying to denigrate his good name. To those of you small-minded, bored twerps who feel better about your miserable lives or your miserable relationships by delving into someone else's personal life, I say I PITY you. You open your mouths wide without ANY backstory. It's sad that some of you actually live your lives like that. *scoff*

If you want to talk to someone about values, come to me, because he's WAY out of your league. Cowards.

And go ahead. Report me. *shows you how much I give a s**t*

If god made all the animals, then made man does that mean that they were only males like Adam?

If god had only made boys up until then, did he have to pull a rib from all the other animals?

If he made all the animals with mates first, then why would he have neglected man?

Is this evidence for the Eve creation story being metaphorical?

If this evidence for Adam being a hermaphrodite?

It is a pretty formal party that I am going to...I still haven't bought the dress - but I am looking at black velvet or silk - most of what I have looked at have capped or no sleeves... what type of wrap or jacket should I get - this is a Christmas party and it is cold :) there is only so much I am willing to do - all of the dresses are above the knee (brrr) so I need to know if I should get a black velvet wrap to go with the velvet dress? Or should I go OPPOSITE - velvet dress w/silk wrap, or silk dress w/velvet wrap... and - should those wraps also be black?? Or should I pick some other color?
This is my first formal party like this and I want the dress to be nice and have the option of using it later on - hence the LBD :)
- Thanks -

Say a guy with the last name Smith-Jones marries a girl surnamed Evans-Robinson. They have a son. Given the parents' surnames, the kid's full name is John Smith-Jones-Evans-Robinson.

Another couple, with the surnames Black-Conrad and Woodward-Dubois, marry and have a daughter. The girl's full name is Mary Black-Conrad-Woodward-Dubois.

Twenty-five years later, John Smith-Jones-Evans-Robinson and Mary Black-Conrad-Woodward-Dubois fall in love and get married. Then they have a kid...

How do they name their kid without sounding like a pair of pompous idiots?
