if you watch south park you know that they make fun of everyone an thing...from being black, gay, white, poor and so on..but they often make fun of religion...they have three very famous episodes tilted......"all about the Mormons"- about how the Mormons came to believe what they believe......" trapped in the closet"- about sincentaloigst believe...and "cancelled"- about mohamid...anyone upset..i find the whole show funny!...if u have never seen these you can find them on youtube.com or southpark.com

Would your god prefer you to follow and worship him/her/it because you have looked at the teachings of said god and reasoned your way to belief, or would your god prefer that you follow his/her/it's teaching because of godly threats of punishment if you don't? In other words, what does your god prefer, reasoned belief or fearful worship?

I'm a gay teenager (most of you already know that, anyways, continuing on) I recently came out about 2 months ago, and nobody cares that I'm gay (My family's supportive). However, my mom doesn't even want me to have any relationships, even just as friends, with other guys. When my brother was my age, he was allowed to date whoever he wanted. I talked to my mom, and she specifically said she is completely okay with me being gay. But apparently relationships are a no-no?
What hurts the most is, to be quite literally honest, of her children, she can trust me the most. And she has, more so than her other children. I've given her more trust than anyone, but now she's putting restrictions to my life-- I honestly think that she thinks that all I want is to get some, and that's so low. I'm not even like that-- at all. It really agitates me and I don't know what to do.

The store I work at has a Secret Santa. i got the head of our cosmetics department. I just don't know what to get her.
She's in her 50s. According to other colleagues she likes getting her nails and hair done and she likes to make herself look pretty. The rules are the gift has to be over $20 and it cannot be from the store. I work at a retail drug store. Also we're not allowed to give gift cards or gift certificates. She's also moving in January. She's still staying with the company but just going to another store in a different state. i've only worked at the store for 6 months so I never really got to know her and we never really got along. But I still need an idea of what to get her so what can I get her?

OK my friend is very close (a best friend) and she is rather sensitive. She also is totally innocent. She has not had a bf yet but I know she does like guys. But she likes me too now so it's a little awkward and I feel that it's a part my fault from being too affectionate. I mean now we kiss when we say goodbye and sometimes hello and I didn't stop it because it didn't bother me and I do feel close if that makes sense?

But I picked up on her having more feelings for me and I think that we should talk but I'm not sure how? I just want her to know that she IS close to me and I don't want to Not be friends but we are friends and I have a bf (she knows him) and I just can't go there with her.

Can you give me some advice how to talk? I really don't want to hurt her feelings or anything and this is a new situation for me. But I'm sure this is new to her too. *sigh*

Does't make sense to me... It occurs to me that any being that is all those things would be more than apparent, even to the point of eing imposing and inescapable..

Maybe I misunderstnad the terms....Maybe I need to learn to "Rightly divide the English language"

would be better off spent on the third world.

the average church has had over £300,000 spent on it a year. thats enogh to feed three african villages for a decade.

the number of water taps is a better indication of health and happiness than the number of churches.

so my question is why: why all this money wasted on a being that nobody is sure even exists, when there is a worldfull of problems that need sorting out?

Just a thought but what did they do with the teddy bear named Muhammad? Did they destroy it? Put it some place where it will be treated reverently? Rename it? Just kind of curious what happened to the bear.

Ok well I'm writing a religious satire novel and I want to see what people think about my idea. It's about a girl who writes a collection of stories about a ficticious planet and the people living there, and in a parallel universe, this planet exists, making her their God. The problem? They're all having a massive holy war. Anyway, they manage to find her and bring her to the planet, and of course she's horrified at all the religious extremists doing horrible things in her name. It's sort of my idea of how God would react to the stuff people do in His name all the time, whether it's murder or telling kids their going to hell for what they read. (I'm a massive harry potter fan, can't you tell? :)
So what do you think? Controversial enough? Yes, I know the parallel universe thing is cheesy and overused, but hey, it was the only thing i could think of, work with me here:)
Comments from ANY viewpoint are appreciated!

If you were somehow (let's leave the details to your imagination) to be in a position to have world power. Decree laws and such.

Would you, as an atheist, ban churches or religion?
Would you, as a believer, ban all "other" churches or religion?
Would you, as an agnostic, change anything about religion, it's practices or those who do not believe?

Why or Why not?

if your destination is the same...why can't there be multiple ways to go? I don't get why you argue....

How do you get to heaven?

How do you get to cedar point?
(depending on where you start from, there are a number of different ways to get there, by boat, by helicopter, by plane, by car, by bicycle, walking, not to mention infinite paths that you could take to reach the same destination)

personally i don't buy any of it, but i wonder if you all have the same destination, who cares what path you take to get there?

I just answered a question with a brief yet complete answer. I then spent the next 5 minutes repeatedly clicking the Edit button and adding to it. Then the thought entered my mind about the General Conference talk last GC where someone said something about giving a brief answer, not the entire history of the church. (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the general sentiment.)
So do you find yourself giving too much information in your zeal to provide a quality honest answer and realize later that you could probably condense a two page answer down to a few well worded sentences? And if so, do you ever go back and fix it? I'm all for giving something other than a one word/yes - no answer, but I sometimes notice that my answers go from well crafted, to rambling on and on. ...kind of like this question.
Am I alone in this?

I am not atheist, I love and believe in God. However I love Satan, too. He also believes in God. However he believes God is wrong and has logical proof. Thus Satan isn't evil in my eyes. God isn't evil in my eyes because that would be like biting the hand that feeds you. In fact, I don't see evil in anything except evil. Those who see evil in me, are as correct as Satan, when he sees evil in God. I am not perfect. I did not create the world. But I judge no one, so they will not judge me. I do not judge God, only the logic behind his actions. I admit that I am by far in a different existence than all my brothers and sisters. I exist in the world of non-existence. Some of you know what I mean, most do not. Some will know, most will never.

Time will tell if my prophecies were that of a true prophet, or that of a false prophet. Not even I know the truth to that. All I know is that I do not create truth where there is none. I only show you what I see. Be aware: peace is found in death.

Will you hold the door open for me, a pregnant lady with a toddler and a 3 year old? So many times, (mostly rude teen boys) just let it slam in my face, stroller and all..and do not even look back to see if anyone is there. My 3 year old son holds the door for everyone because I taught him that. Please?
