How do I show people at school that I'm a Christian, yet still be popular and be invited to parties and stuff?

don't tell me it's not happening because it happens. whatever u will say, those little girls do have disires, some of those girls from young as 10-15 do have sex with their boyfriends or school mates without confirm the parents. why do they teach youngs kids "sex education" in school? does it make sense when they say "sex can wait" but everything around them encourage them to do it?

so from religious prospective, is it better for a girl to get married? or to have sex with her school mates?

I don't see a relationship between the two. Honestly, it seems like opposite-sex marriage has more in common with polygamy than same-sex marriage.

Also, nearly every Biblical patriarch was polygamous (Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, What's-His-Name-Who-Was-Samuel's-Father, etc.) so why do the Christians dislike polygamy and say it shouldn't be legal? I mean, it's not only "okay" in the Bible - it's encouraged!

I'm confused.

If God really is love he would manage to bestow love without setting a price on it or committing violence in its name or demanding the impossible from his children.

I see a lot of arguments against legalizing gay marriage, against teaching evolution in schools, and in favor of shortening pi to '3' because it will confuse children.

Since you think I'm making it up, I'll quote a poster from a few minutes ago in one of my gay marriage threads:

"I don't want my grandchildren to grow up in a society thinking this is proper. Isn't life confusing enough?"

My question is: Do you Christians think children are stupid? I've never found a child who didn't understand gay marriage once it was explained. Also, I thought Jesus told you the only way to get into heaven was to have faith like a child? Wouldn't that mean that children are smarter than adults? In that case, wouldn't it mean that it's better to teach evolution and gay marriage and pi to kids WHILE they're kids, before they become stupid adults?

I'm all confused.

" You, athiests, ask for God to show Himself when you know you really don't want that prayer answered. If God ever did show himself to your cold, sinful heart you would shake and become like dead men.But thank God, for your sake, God is in the business of sparing mens' lives not taking them." -Pastor

How have you learnt how to love? What do you base your love on and has it changed you as a person? How does love affect you or help you? Does it come from your beliefs and if so what you believe? How has love touched you and others around you? Do you believe that love can make a difference and if so how has it made a difference in your life as well as the lives of others?

The story of Eve in paradise is outrageous!Why did God put the tree of knowledge right in front of her and then forbid her to eat from it?

I find the oxymoronic people in this section amusing.....You know, the ones who answer questions having to do with God's gender. Some people believe its a she, some believe its a he. Some believe it doesn't have a gender. But I find the oxymorons funny, when they say, "God does not have a gender. HE is a deity, not human." .....or something of that nature. Think, people, THINK!
Okay, so as to not make this a rant.....my question is.
Do you think Yahoo Answers should have some sort of IQ test before you're allowed to post anything in this forum? Nothing too complicated....just to weed a few out.

I mean, anything is possible if you're religious, and think that God could have chosen to make Jesus born any color, but if you don't believe in that stuff like I do, it seems most obvious that Jesus would have been a darker like the people of the region. Then again, it's also widely believed (partly by myself, though who can be sure), that Mary was actually raped by Roman soldiers, and if this were the case, a white Jesus is not unplausable.

I understand all the stuff about changing the holy day of the week from the 7th to the 1st day of the week - but I've yet to find anything that says what day of the week that number should be. Why isn't the first day of the week a Tuesday or a Friday, for example? A Bible reference that actually states days rather than numbers would be useful. Thx.

When I express a view that is based on my atheist belief, I usually get a thumbs down.
I don't thumbs down religious believers. It's just NOT FAIR.

I wasn't wearing my glasses and I really had to go. Plus they put this stupid sign on the door that said bathroom closes at sunset which distracted me. Well yeah I could read it by sticking my face really close to the sign.

Matthew 21

1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."

How do you support denying homosexual couples the same legal standing/benefits of marriage as heterosexual couples?
I understand you may not allow it in your church, but how does that transfer to the secular/legal arena?
What if America were a muslim majority and that majority decided that those who make pictures of Muhammed would not have the same legal protections as others, and would be censored? Would that religious decision be ok?

if people want to go on trying to prove of disprove the bible and god, they miss the point of the bibles reletivity, to be in heaven, with god(the living existance)you must let go of reason(ego driven need) and let the energy that is of everthing direct you.. most of this conversating is the example of being thrown out of heaven, people like to think they know what is real while living in the beast of mans fear(civilization). To find god and reality, the mouth must shut, the ego must be observed objectivly, and the heart for the living earth must emerge. all the prophesy and bible thumping in the world of man will never save an individual from the hell of the ego, in my opinion, we are all correct in our search for truth, but truth must be seen as one understanding, that is everlasting, GOD I AM> thank you for reading my words

....A civil union system where coupled gays are granted ALL the rights and privileges of married people, but they just aren't "called" married people?

To mutilate an old saying, would a rose by another name have fewer thorns pricking at you? I ask because a lot of you say that the problem you have with gay "marriage" is that it's an insult to your own "marriage". But if none of you have civil unions, then maybe there's no objection that that?
