I'm sorry but I just don't like gay people.

But if it is a sin than i'll be nice to them.

Love your enemies as your self.

Treat others the way you would want to be treated.


Help me out on this please.

If the bible is 100% true, then every nation and religion on earth should include the Noah's Ark story as the beginning of their culture, civilization, and religion.

Seeing as to how this is not the case in real life, can we conclude that the Noah's Ark story was just a story that was never meant to be taken literally, or is this another example of "the devil" changing history to erode the credibility of the bible?

I would like to send my X-mas cards (bought a bunch at the dollar store) but with the price of stamps these days, it is a bit expensive.

I would like to send them all as COD for the stamp amount.

COD = Cash on delivery.. So basically the people that would receive the x-mas card would need to pay the 42 cents for the cost of the stamp in order to get the card. Plus, I'm not sure if I can request COD for 42 cents - especially for a stamp ... anyone know?

From this article, the government feels that her rape and subsequent inprisonment are punishment enough for her being out late and looking tempting.

Sorry to all the defenders of Islam, but stuff like this really doesn't cast Islamic society in a very positive light.

What can moderate Muslims do to move past garbage like this?

I believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three different beings, but are one if purpose. I know many people believe they are all one being. I find it very confusing to say that they are one and want to know how you explain this to your children when teaching them about God. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I am just curious as to how you explain that God sent His son, but it was actually himself? Please explain to me how you explain it and why it is you believe it? Please give honest answers and please be kind.

It's cute, and it's not too common.
People say it's too old-fashioned.
What do you guys think?

What am I doing wrong, or that I shouldn't be doing. I notice that sometimes if I go back to a question that I have answered, there will be "edit, delete" after my answer. Why? I'm not intentionally doing whatever it the reason for it

If the Catholic church is so wrong (or even just slightly wrong), then on whose authority do you trust that they canonized the Bible properly? On what basis do you believe that there isn't more to it or that some of it isn't incorrect (or that some of it shouldn't have been canonized in the first place)? As a Christian, have you sincerely searched for the answers to these questions? Have you even considered the possible accuracy of apocryphal scripture?

Is their good and bad choices?
Is there right and wrong?
Jesus made many choices, one was to give his life up for our sins. He didn't have to do that, he was offered out of that.
The choice of Jesus is he is either a Legend - never existed, made up, Liar - wasn't who he said he was and just wanted to die spectacularly, or the Lord - is the Son of God.

Choose wisely!

I've always been a good listener...too good. People who talk too much gravitate towards me. I have told Chatty Cathy over and over at work that I need to stay out of trouble with the boss and stop talking (not that I get a chance to do any of the talking), and that I'd be happy to talk to her at break. She will stop talking for a while, but low and behold she can't seem to stop this annoying habit of talking to me. I feel it's cheating your company to misuse work time. It's one thing to chat for just a minute or two, but to go on and on for 20 minutes or more is just plain too much. If I say anything to her other than what I've said, she is the type to get insulted and act put out. What's wrong with people like this?

Kukla, Fran & Ollie? H.R. Puffinstuff? Captain Video (on the Dumont Television Network)? Arthur Godfrey and His Friends (anyone see Julius LaRosa get fired on-air?). December Bride, Peter & Gladys, what others?

Bonus: How many remember the musical interludes between programs, when shows were single-sponsored and it hadn't occurred to anyone yet to sell free-standing ad time? Les Paul and Mary Ford, Liberace, and who else?

I just posted the following question here:

"Who are more arrogant: Patriots fans or Cowboys fans?"

I was unsure how to phrase that. Should it be "Who is" or "Who are" or something else? Sure enough, a grammar policeman here named Slipsauce replied "First, learn English."

Interestingly, I noticed that Slipsauce answered another question today as follows:

"I dont do either. Ignorance is bliss:)
The only radio i have in in my car and i listen to CD's"

Well, at least I know how to check my spelling and use punctuation. Take that, wise guy.

I actually have two dog walkers because the guy who walks my dog is mentally challenged and his Dad works with him. They are the best. I wanted to leave a card for both of them with money in it for Christmas. I don't really know their likes or dislikes so it is hard to even get a gift card. Is that a good idea or would you suggest something else? I was going to leave about $50 in the card. Thanks for any suggestions!

If you were once a teenager than you know what it's like. So many rules... but one of them esspecially is DONT LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY. To me personally, I dont think it's such a big deal if you do it becuase it was "correct" at that time..? I know that dosent make sense but an incorrect way to do it would to get back at your 8th grade boyfriend.. now that's stupid. But anyways... When do you think its a good age to consider it? Please dont say when you get married becuase we all know that 98% percent of people who get married have allready done it 4 - 5 times... or more. I'm only 14... but I wouldn't want to go to college and not know what to do if in that situation. Of course... I wont jump to it right now... that's dumb. I would wait till I found a good guy who understood me and stuff like that.... but lets not get all mushy like that... it's time for answers.

Please share your source if you would about these two requests:
>>An inspriational saying for when you are on top
>>An inspirational saying for when you are feeling low

Please be sincere, over time, others will read and be uplifted by your choices. Not just we who participate now.

I have one from the book Galilee by Christopher Pike: It takes a strong will to live the higher life.
This inspired me when I read it and to know that this author shared it with the readers, really lifted me up.

And then from KJV Bible Matthew 5:14 & 16 Ye are the light of the world...Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

We are all a source of inspiration to one another, regardless of our 'beliefs'.

Thanks and blessings :)

That marriage is an exclusively Christian thing? The argument I hear most often against Gay marriage is that "god" intended man to wed woman. Well, the institution of marriage is seen in every culture and religion. Who mad you guys the bosses?

P.S. No, this country is not meant to be based on Christian principles. It never was, and certainly strives not to be today.
