As a straight woman, I think it is appalling that so many people discriminate against gays. What is the issue?

Don't give me the Bible fairy tale quote nonsense. Think logically for once. Look at the REAL picture, not at the picture your church tells you to look at.

Gay people are working contributors to society. They pay taxes, they own businesses, and they vote. They show love to their partners. So why can't the Christian coalition get past what these people do in the bedroom? Is it really any of their business?

Could you share with us please some of how the snake has tempted you to enjoy the banana, the forbidden fruit, and stories about the adventures you have had with other forbidden fruits?

Also, if your fruit itself smells of potatoes, please go away.

Earlier, I asked the question "Would God be a single, simple entity, or an infinitely complex one?"

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070313095930AATvs7J&pa=FYd1D2bwHTHwI7luFO86RvjLWJWOQz9PXbLkT7u7JGl0kdinpenqWFIGoJLQ0OILXzhF8Sa2Cxu5dQ--&paid=asked&msgr_status=

As of when I last checked it:

58% said God was a complex entity.
8% said God was a simple entity.
34% didn't answer the question (as you can read for yourself).

So it's fair to say that God, in most religious people's minds, is complex in nature.

However, quoting from creationism's own website:

http://www.creationism.org/topbar/creationism.htm

The reason that creationists don't agree with evolution is that:

"All that is in this giant universe just kind of "exploded" into existence and complexity all by itself? There is no Creator behind it all?"

If complexity cannot happen "all by itself", and God is complex in nature, how could he always have existed? He would need a creator as well.

women say that they should have control over their own bodies- and should be able to choose abortion if they choose too- however first of all abortion kills another body- your child- that goes without saying- but it also has risks to the woman- torn uterus, infections, excessive bleeding- later miscarriages and sometimes becoming unable to get pregnant- breast cancer risk increases as well- emotional risks last a very long time, if not a lifetime- guilt,shame, anniversary remembrances, etc. A baby's heart is beating at 3 weeks after conception so it is not a blob of tissue- but the one thing that I hope women will understand when they say that they should be able to do with their bodies what they desire, is that will realize that abortion is good for them either- If a woman has a miscarriage you grieve the loss of your child- if you abort you say it was not a baby- does not make sense- but the reason for this question as well was to warn women of the dangers to their own bodies.

You may recall the story, for example, of Jesus riding a donkey into the city, and the people throwing confetti on him and shouting "Hosanna!" -- whereas Jesus' ascension into heaven is mentioned in two sentences. Two of the four writers ignore it entirely.

You think maybe they wanted to keep the details to a minimum -- perhaps knowing that a simple lie is likely more successful than a detailed lie?

I recently lost my mother.. the string thing is she past away in her sleep. This happened in May of 06. Every since this incident I have almost given up on God and everything he is about. I know that I am supposed to remain faithful in his word and such, but my mother's passing has made me see God in a negative way. If this has happened to you, what did you do to increase your faith again? I feel as if I did right now, I am probably going to end up in hell for my thoughts and actions. Another thing that I have noticed is that sometimes I just want to die. I have never contemplated suicide, but I just get tired of living, but then that feelings goes away and I think that I am crazy for even considering this though. What would you do? Do you think I could be bipolar.

but they dont evangelise....


The whole world was asleep. Everything was quiet, nothing moved, nothing grew. The animals slept under the earth. One day the rainbow snake woke up and crawled to the surface of the earth. She pushed everything aside that was in her way. She wandered through the whole country and when she was tired she coiled up and slept. So she left her tracks. After she had been everywhere she went back and called the frogs. When they came out their tubby stomachs were full of water. The rainbow snake tickled them and the frogs laughed. The water poured out of their mouths and filled the tracks of the rainbow snake. That's how rivers and lakes were created. Then grass and trees began to grow and the earth filled with life.

OK first, if you are not interested in reading or thinking, please DO NOT answer my question.

If you are, the link is to a debate between a religious person and an athiest. It is a bit long (It took me about 10 minuets to read all or it) but it gets more interesting as you read it. I promise it is worth the read.

I see it as more of a discussion of HOW we know the things we know. I would like for you to read it and then give your feedback/thoughts.

i am a (catholic) student and i need to do an interview with someone from other religion, like the Moslems for example.

NOTE: prophetic dialogue means seeking to bridge the divisions that keep human beings separated from one another and from God. The mission in prophetic dialogue is at the service of communion and it points to the final manifestation of the Reign of God.
