Any comments or recommendations? I'm just curious. If there is a certain bias to a given site, in any particular direction, let me know. And I mean all sites- Christian, atheist, pagan, whatever.

....Or if I could easily prevent an injury, but choose not to?
....Or if I could easily prevent a human tragedy, but choose not to?

Am I immoral if I KNEW an invention of mine would cause millions of people to die?
Am I immoral if I had the strength to hold back a tidal wave, yet allowed it to drown thousands of people?
Am i immoral if I allowed you to suffer for eternity, simply because you refused to love me?

IS GOD IMMORAL?
And people wonder where we Atheists get our morality!

One time I asked a girl who was breaking up with me for another guy "What am I , chopped liver?". But now all these vegans are looking at me like they want to take a bite out of me, and I wonder, " What am I, chopped liver?"

you know this whole "day after holiday shopping" thing is nuts. Talking to my Mom- she called it "black friday". I guess as in "The economy is in the red, we need to (do our patriotic duty and) spend it back into the black" friday. I dunno, i never heard the term in that sense before. Then just today they use the term on the news and my roomie mark says he's never heard that term for it before either. Taa -daa, the introduction of media-spun slang!
--Well, when I hear it, I tend to either think of Steely Dan's song "Black Friday" --a song about (at the least) economic apocalypse --or i think of "Good Friday", which commemorates the Crucifixion of Jesus. Of course, these ironic opposites always come out during Christmas. WELL, I'm seriously of the opinion stated in the sentence "What Would Jesus Buy?"
--He'd BUY NOTHING -- Besides He's already given us all the greatest gift.

And have other inappropriate reactions to stressful or surprise situations?

Well, what if Jesus comes back, and I just bust out laughing as soon as I see him? Will he smite me?

I just saw the movie Enchanted and it made me wonder if my Prince Charming is really out there. I've been single for a while and I am ready for a relationship. Is there anyone out there ages 18-21 who are looking for their Princess?

I thought that gays and lesbians would be close in energy, but they seem very different. you go to a bar and it looks like a 5th grade prom. (boys and girls on opposite ends). Not much mixing or frendship. I feel the brains are wired differently, even though we are attracted to the same sex. Does anyone understand me? anyone know what this is?

What is hinduism?
who is real god in hinduism?
when this was named?
who started it ?
who are the followers?
who does it belongs to ?
what hindu religion preach or teach
what are its basic concepts and principles?
( for eg. Ahimsa cannot be hindu pricinple though it is claimed by them, if ahimsa is hindu concept why then animal sacrifice , tantric rituals etc?)
Why so much of confusion in basic understanding of hinduism?

Why hindu gods have no history?
Hindu is claimed to be old religion, then why no evidence was found in Indus valley excavations?
Was hinduism offshoot of Sramanic religion of dravids? (sramanic religion is known as Jain)

So tell me when it started, who started, who named, what are basic concepts of hinduism?
However we can classify hinduism is not a religion but it is a social hierarchy system which certain group of ruling people made for their supremacy. Upper class aryans who were looking for human slaves , to do low class job, hinduism was created.

I mean, I understand if people would get upset that a CHRISTIAN (of all people) would swear, judge, or hate someone, but seriously, aside from religious things, we're all still people, and we're going to have flaws like that, big or small. I understand that being a christian, you should minimize those things+etc because it follows the christian beliefs, but it just bothers me when someone says someone did something bad, then they add, "and they call themselves a christian!"

I know that there are plenty of christians that are really harsh, and just plain don't "act like a christian," but there are a lot of christians who are trying to change from who they are and were, even if their immediate actions don't prove it.

And i'm also aware that christians aren't the only religion stereotyped, i'm just talking about htem specifically right now

Have religious Americans any right to criticize Muslims when the difference is just a matter of degree? The healthy relaxed safe beaches of Australia, Brazil and Europe, to name a few, confirm the backwardness of Americans who feel so ashamed of their own bodies.
The sad fact is that most of those who answer here
have never been to a nude beach and don't know what they are talking about.

In the public hospital of Itagua (RJ) last weekend was born a girl with hands joined together, like one who's praying.

The doctors told the parents that they would operate the hands of that girl, and that they would give her antistatic. The operation was easy because it seemed like the hands were simply glued together one membrane (skin) layer apart.

When they opened up the hand of that child, you can't imagine what was written...


JESUS IS COMING BACK... The doctors started weeping and all that were in the hospital.

The suburb of Itagua is undergoing a movement now, People that have withdrawn from church are going back and others are receiving Jesus Christ as the only savior.

God send that child simply to convey that message.

After a few hours she died: JESUS IS COMING BACK

I have received now I'm passing on!!!

The Lord of Lords is coming back.
"Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call you upon Him while He is near:" Isaiah 55:6

Was it something they could have done to avoid it? One can't always anticipate bad health.
