Never mind the moral points on this question, but a friend is dating a married woman. She is a lesbian and the married woman is bi-I guess. Well this X-mas the married woman was talking to my friend on the phone and started to tell her about the gifts she got her husband and how she surprized him. How much he loved his gifts. She was saying this to her lover of many years. Was this direspectful to have this conversation with her lover about her husband??

is it politically incorrect to judge someone by their looks? or is the term usually used towards issues like race, religion, culture, and other identity groups?

Christian faith alone. They say that they are apart of a belief that rejects the believing of a higher Diety and religion, but there are a many of religions out there such as Buddism, Hinduism, Islam, etc. I don't know maybe it's just where I'm at....Remember this is just a question so please answer it and save smart-@ss comments. (Sorry, shouldn't have said it like that, but I'm just getting my point across!)

Sometimes this question comes to my mind. Usually at the worst times - like when I've already got stressful things to think about.
Anyways, I was baptized as a Catholic and used to be a Christian, but now I've begun to disagree with a lot of things in the bible and I don't call myself a Christian anymore.
I do believe in a spirit...I call it the Creator. The Creator only has heaven or reincarnation after life: no such thing as hell.
What is this?
There HAVE to be other people who know what I'm going through. Please help.

A reliance on logic doesn't help, since our logic is limited to what the human mind can think, and may be totally false when applied to a larger scheme.

Doesn't it all come down to faith one way or another?

i just live in a place where there's ALOT of them!!
im not sure if this is true, but i often hear ppl saying that armenians are pushy..i always say no, cuz most of my friends are armenians and they arent pushy...well, sometimes. so, my questions are:

do u think ur friendly?
do u like teaching ur language to other ppl who dont know it?
are u from glendale?

ok, pls. explain, thank u...
and by the way, one of my iranian friends says she hates armenians, though she is one, that is so odd.

Like when the plane you're riding is going to crash, your friend/family is severely injured and being operated, you're in a building surrounded by terrorists etc.?

If you prayed and your life is saved, will your lack of belief in God be lessened a bit?

Psalms 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth: and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever.
37:34 Wait on the Lord and keep his way and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off thou shall see it.
What do these scriptures mean if we are to go to heaven?
Also Ecclesiates 1:4 One generation passeth away and another generation cometh but the earth abidith forever.
Doesn't that mean that the earth will never be destroyed.

Why do people tend to hate Atheists?
It's a belief... why is it being discriminated against?

I see all this stuff about Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays. Even though I'm a NOTA* if I know someone is a Christian, I wish them a Merry Christmas. Or if they wish me a Merry Christmas, I say "Same to you."

*NOTA=None of the above

i MIGHT have said f**king jesus a few years ago out loud to make it worse, so i wouldn't worry about it saying it in my mind numerous times, plus i was getting frustrated saying over and over in my mind with something that i don't want to deal with
i said it unintentionally in my mind, but is saying it out loud intentional towards jesus?
i am pretty sure that i only said the f word out loud and his name in my mind or even just the f word or part of the f word

all the other blasphemies that i did are unintentional(i have a mental illness called ocd), but the above that i explained was intentional, not intentional towards jesus or god, but just to do it, so i wouldn't worry about saying it in my mind numerous times and also i was frustrated with it

im christian and never had anything against him

Said I'd stop at three on questions about the rabbi Pharisees. Well I lied. MomPJ, I take it your Jewish? I was raised very orthodox Roman Catholic. Agnostic nowadays. Have a couple of drops of Jewish blood on my mother's side. They were Catholic and ate pork however. It's pretty obvious neither I, nor any Christian, has a clue as to what a Pharisee was??? Why do you think this Jesus, "son of man" was so against them??? Would love to hear your thoughts?

i have been crying, due to the shock, and because i know he will have a more challenging life; i advised him strongly to watch out for homophobs and esp to practice safe sex, he is mature and already knew these things. WHat can i do to be more supportive? His father --my ex--is being a typical real s**t about it. I love my son UNCONDITIONALLY and want to be there for him even more now. I am Catholic and expect to run into a lot of BS later about it from other Catholics. If anyone puts him down, they will be out of my life for good.

What if Atheist's brains and cognitive abilities are different from those of theists. Like what if we adapted to cope with the "fear of death" and a higher form of skeptical thinking.
Do you think we might be evolving into a higher form of thinking? Or is Atheism a completely environmental thing.

I am obviously no biologist or scientist, but have always wondered if there were people lets say 100 or more years ago that look just like us. I realize there will be different parents, elements, dna, etc. I know they say we all have a twin out there, I met mine when I was 12, but who knows if she looks like me now. So I was wondering what are your beliefs or knowledge on that, if any?
