I feel that there is nothing wrong wtih sex. There are downsides that the uninformed and ignorant will encounter, but i think its completely a personal thing. Saying that teenagers shouldn't have sex doesn't accomplish anything.
Teaching them safe sex and what having sex does to a relationship will cause your child to make better choices.
I think people try to keep innocence alive for a lengthy delayed amount of time when the biggest part of a teenagers life is puberty and sex. At that age they are bound to become curious and do something about it. The cause of STDs and pregnancy is the fact that children are not being informed enough, parents talking to them about sex is a must.

Do you feel the same or not? Does your religion decide what you teach your children? Does watching your child become an adult influence how you feel/cause fear? Have you talked to your children about sex/will you?

If you think it long ago, do you honestly think that, on the whole, millionaires almost never commit capital crimes, or is it more likely that they get lawyers who can get them acquitted?

So if God is really an all-powerful entity, how did satan rebel against him? Wouldn't this "all knowing" God realize that was going to happen?

It seems unlikely that the human population started with only two humans because nature doesn't do this with other animal species. It seems more likely to me that maybe Adam and Eve were the first humans to believe there is a god, out of an existing population of humans many thousands of years ago. What do you think?

I know -- stereotypical.

Please -- refrain from saying "having sex with children." No sh*t.

There is a priest who comes into my work almost every single day and tries to offer me gifts and gets really frustrated when my boss shoos him away from me. He always talks about baptism and calling me on the phone. So I am curious -- what are the less obvious signs of a pedophile (in general)?

Does this guy sound creepy to you?

So there is BET (black entertainment television), black history month, Miss Black America. so on.
[We do have hispanic heritage month too]

Tell me your opinion on this, do you think that is racist (for lack of a better word)?
Do you think people would be offended if we had a WET or AET? Or what if we had White Guy Acknowledgment week, Asian appreciation month, etc. What if we had a miss white america?

If all races are equal, why do we STILL acknowledge it someone is black and they make big history. Trust me I AM NOT RACIST, actually I am complete opposite. I just trhink its a little silly thats all. Does anyone agree or disagree?

Please don't be rude. I am curious as to what you think about this.

The term ‘Protestant’ signifies the amorphous mass of non-Latin heresies formed since the 16th century in the West in contradiction or retaliation to the Roman Catholic Church. Whereas the one dogma that binds all Roman Catholics past and present together is submission to the Pope as sole authority (thereby abolishing every other authority), the one dogma that all Protestants have in common is the rejection of the need for submission to any rule for salvation, other than one’s own private opinion (about everything). Undoubtably, within Protestantism there are many opinions and contrary beliefs, but they all base their religion ultimately in a rejection of external authority as needed for salvation. What Rome began with rejection of all authority save that of the Pope, Protestantism finished by rejecting the authority of the Pope as well. This results in an indifference to and a severance from the Body of Christ, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, the sole Church founded by Him and His Apostles. Among the innumerable heresies found among Protestants (the number of ‘denominations’ in the world currently exceeds 26,000), there are: denial of the priesthood and all mysteries (baptism, eucharist, etc.), denial of the saints and their ability to intercede for us, assertion that the character of one’s life is a matter indifferent for salvation - only confession or lack of confession that Jesus is your Savior affects one’s salvation, rejection of Apostolic tradition and the Church as authorities, predestination or the arbitrary election and damnation of men by nothing but a divine whim, millenialism or chiliasm, and many others.

When people are trying to go into ministry, how do they know that it is God's will or their want? How do they God is leading if situation seems to go wrong? I've been trying to apply for a job so that I can take a ministry training for campus ministry early next year. People only have once in a life time opportunity to become a staff once they graduate. Therefore, I've been looking for a job so that I can save up. I've been looking for a job for like five month now. However,it was hard for me to find a job. If I have financial struggles, does that mean God want me to give up since it might not be beneficial for me? or does that mean God want me to give up secular work and serve him? I have option of self support raising so is it his will for me to do that if finacial answer for a job is being shut down? if the prayer for getting a job is being shut down, what does that mean? Just go into ministry believing in that other people would support? or is God telling me? What is the reality? Would it be better for to go into ministry believing in that other people would support or not do it because financially I am not stable? how does minister deal with financial problem before going into ministry?

I identify as a lesbian, but recently I have been looking over my sexuality and why I define it as such. All my life I have never been attracted to boys, there may be a few here and there that may spark my interest; at least slightly, but for the most part I've never really had a crush on a boy. For a while I thought I was broken, until I developed an incredibly large crush on one of my female friends, and durring this time I realized I wasn't broken- I was just a lesbian. Everything made so much sense. I came out a while after, and have living a lessy mclesbo life ever since, and it's been great. But, after years of having nothing questioning my sexuality and having everything fit in to it's place, I developed a crush on one of my male friends- which I have never experienced before. After a long while of denial, I started to wonder- would is be right to call myself a lesbian? Or would it be right to call myself a bisexual- because I am so rarely attracted to men? How do you feel?

this question came from the fact that i often hear korean women dissing southeast asian women (i.e. indonesian,filipino,thai,malaysian,) for their tanned or brown skin tone. on the other hand, they envy the double eyelid these women have. my pretty korean friends have all undergone one or more plastic surgery but the not pretty ones have never undergone any procedures. so guys and gals: EAST ASIAN OR SOUTHEAST ASIAN BEAUTIES...Judge by their natural beauty and majority of the pop. thanks...

p.s. m not being racist,ok?
