as long as the question is not offensive in its context, why do people feel a need to report questions that conflicts with there personal opinions, as long as the question does not call some one a name or tell someone they are less than inteligent it should not be concidered a violation.........like my question on why questions regarding religious views on homosexuality always seeme to be deleted. there was no abusing people who chose to be gay in the question but some stuck up snob who felt thier opinion was injepardy or couldnt handle an opinion that was different than thiers reported it even though it did not break Y/A rules..........this question wont be up long either......probably because some coward wants to report it cause it isnt covered in thier own opinion..........

Do you think that our society today is built on put downs and being rude to one another? What has caused us to change so much from the 1950's to now that we have to make someone else feel low to make ourselves feel better. I know I have done it, and thinking back I am ashamed I have done it. What can we do to fix it, and are you willing to do what it takes to do so?

You know one of those christian marriages where you vow to each other in the church before God. Why is it that if their bond and love is tied with God, why is it that the American divorce rates are so high? Did they break their vow to God and their love if they divorce?

My parents had a traditional Asian wedding since they are Asians and they are still happily together. They made vows with my dead ancestors and the elders of the family. My parents don't have sex no more and yet they are still together. They are happy. I'm 18 right now and their first child. No I am American born and Agnostic so don't assume I follow the same traditions.

Anyways. Cough* Why do the vows and God as witness fail for many?

Thanks for reading.

I prepared a great meal for my family and several guests that were invited yesterday. We had a lot of fun and everyone raved about the food. During cleanup, one of my guests mentioned that she wanted to take home some leftovers for her and her husband and I said that was was fine. There was enough food left for several days to munch on. I didn't pay attention since I was doing dishes but I heard them complimenting the dishes I'd prepared. They put their food bundles in a bag near the door. When I looked at what was left I was appalled! There was nothing left! The husband told the wife to leave "something" so she scooped out of her dishes. What we got left with was enough food for one person to enjoy for lunch! I have never seen such a practice in my life, and certainly have never done this myself. Its been my belief that the host and hostess get to keep most of the stuff and that you send home some plates with guests of dishes they really enjoyed. Thoughts?

I know that the Bible says homosexuality is wrong, and that it is supposedly the word of God. However, if God does in fact exists and does in fact hate homosexuals, if he is omnipotent why does he not just get rid of it, I find this illogical, I wish to know why!

I have wondered about this as well. The snake didn't really say anything decieving. But I have some other questions.

1. God commanded that Adam not eat from the tree of knowledge...he never made that same command to Eve. Technically, she could eat the fruit of that tree. So was she only wrong in giving the fruit to Adam?

2. They did not die because they ate from the Tree of knowledge, they died because they could not eat of the tree of life....correct?

3. "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." Who exactly is "us"? It is frequently refered to as "us" or "our" in genesis. Does anyone believe there is more than one God? It would explain a lot of things.

That God created the Heavens and the Earth IN THE BEGINNING. Later on, he creates Light on the first day. So heaven and earth were around before the First Creative Day. I just had that pointed out to me. Anyone care to argue? (first read the first verse of Genesis, and then answer. Really, it is quite interesting).

I belive that you should greet people by saying Merry Christmas cuz when you say Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays, it seems like you try to erase the one thing that even lets us celebrate Christmas. The fact that that why its called CHRISTmas? Cause its Christ who was born that day.

Christians only please
Do you believe that some one babbling incoherently in chruch who claims they are filled with the spirit is speaking in tongues?

I am a Christian and I do not believe this. Also do not quote the scripture about they were speaking in tongues. They were speaking their own language but by God the people heard in their own native tongue.

If you disagree with me give me your reasons and sources please

An Englishman's wife steps up to the first tee and, as she bends over to
place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack
of underwear.
"Good God, woman! Why aren't you wearing any knickers?" her husband
demands.
"Well, you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford any," she
replies.
The Englishman immediately reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake
of decency, here's £50. Go and buy yourself some underwear."

Next, the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her
skirt also blows up to show that she is wearing no undies.
"Blessed Virgin Mary, woman! You've no knickers. Why not?"
She replies, "I can't afford any on the money you give me."
He reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of decency, here's £20.
Go and buy yourself some underwear!"

Lastly, the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt
over her head to reveal that she, too, is naked under it.
"Sweet mudder of God, Maggie! Where the hell are yer drawers?"
She too explains, "You dinna give me enough money ta be able ta affarrd
any."

The Scotsman reaches into his pocket and says "Well, fer the love 'o God,
'n the sake of decency, here's a comb. Tidy yerself up a bit."
