Anybody from Massachusetts out there who can answer?

Christians need to know if the sky is still in place there.

I guess it must be made up of primarily Jews, Muslims, atheists and Pagans, right? Or are all of these anti-Christian legislative tangoes being perpetrated by... Christians?

Okay, that's just the set up for the question. What I really want to know is this: do you believe that the US government should do what the majority wants, or that they should protect the rights of the minority to have different religious views from the majhority?

Everyone feels jilted and that something should be done about.

Has America gotten too "special interest"?

I'm going to an annual Christmas party and I'm looking for a good and/or funny gift to bring for the White Elephant Gift Exchange game. We are spending no more than $30. Just an example, last year my bf brought a 70's Penthouse Magazine with a bottle a Crown. I want to come up with something very creative that people would either really want or will make everyone roll on the floor with laughter.

i'm talking about entertainment, mass media, games, porn, internet, and sports. not just in america but around the world in general.

to the comparatively weak minded, immature, or inexperienced (basically most people as they're growing up) they seem to be irresponsibly affecting the world's youth.

i feel that it's easy to access them with technology's influence everywhere and then you can get sucked in, affected, or worse addicted. the industries then peddle anything, irregardless of what is good or bad for the audiences and individual viewers' psych.

this isn't a religious rant, even coming from a born and grown agnostic, i just feel from the bottom of my heart that these industries and businesses aren't being kept responsible enough for their actions (especially compared to the huge influence they have everywhere around the world..)

My Step-mother is introducing a "different-gifting idea" for the upcoming Christmas season.
%This being her First Christmas holiday as part of my family, we are allowing her to introduce HER WAY into the family traditions so we can begin practising "other ways" than our usual method.

Last week, each of us (a total of 14, including her family-pack) drew names; each drawing one name to buy A SPECIFIC GIFT for that person.
We (the new family) are asked to purchase Gifts for "our chosen person."
I have chosen RITA. This Rita is a business secretary by profession, a mother by family and is a distant(?) Neice to my Step-mother.
I am almost at my wits end trying to scour the local marketplace for "appropriate" gift items for Rita.
I know NOTHING about her!
%Should I opt to buy an area-wide Gift Certificate (many local merchants allow only THIER merchant G.C's to use inside their retail outlet) or should I opt to gift with stale cash? Rita is 50 y.o.
$20.00 is the limit.
Thanks.

Every time I ask a question regarding the death of a newborn baby most Christians say something about them going to heaven because they haven't reached "the age of accountability".

Biblical proof... or is it just made up to support and add logic to the Christian argument

The fact that nearly all people throughout history have believed they experience this on a personal level?

If not, can we also dismiss being in love as but a baseless trifle that doesn't exist?

I noticed a LOT of atheists just now arguing that no positive evidence of a Creator has been presented therefore there's no need to refute it, only to make outlandish and random claims about alternate, obviously far-fetched versions of God. But does this belief constitute a positive argument that the ubiquitous direct human experience is evidence?

No easy shots about believing the earth was the center of the universe - that is an external fact, this is internal like Love.

Thanks to all who give thoughtful answers instead of cheap insults so they can feel better about themselves.

Why are so many questions on the religious section are nothing more than people looking to make stupid comments and get attention. Before posting some of these I would suggest reading over them to make sure there was a point

Where did this myth come from? Last time I check all Jews were white and Jesus was a big time Jew with a geneoligy dating all the way back to King David.

What I mean is, why is death the wages of sin? It seems to have been determined as a fixed price between God and Satan, but how/why death as opposed to another sort of punishment?

to 2007> Do you think people would be worshipping GOD? what religion would exsist? Judaism and ISLAM? many pagan beliefs?

Would people in history created a vision to the world that we would be believing today? Would of the Jewish people and Israel been able to survive? Would the majority of people just dismissed there was a GOD in heaven and scoffed at any religious matters?

IMHO We would of never survived much more than the ancient world if the Lord of All did not grace this planet

Thoughts?

What evidence do you have that there ISN'T a dragon hiding under my bed?

Note that I am not belittling people who do or do not believe in dragons, merely suggesting that perhaps questions asking people to prove a negative should be discontinued. Thank you for your attention, and whatever ensuing hilarity might commence.

Alright, so some of my friends have noticed that I almost exclusively date Black women. Then it breaks down to Asian women then Latino/Hispanic women. ...but never white women. Some of my friends have concluded that I am "racist" because I refuse to date any ethnicity except for my own (White /Caucasian)... (this is because I'm not sexually attracted to the same skin tone)

I think I'm just quite partial to other ethnicities.
