Well, it seems that I have been redeemed! I have received a letter of appology from one of the Yahoo! moderators who stated that I was correct in that all of the violations had come from a single individual and that I would be given all the points back and my responses reposted. Also, the person who sent in all those violations will be ignored when it comes to my account from this point forward. Give me a star to Celebrate!!! What do you think?

Socrates once said "As for me, all I know is that I know nothing." He understood that his perspective was so limited. He was humble, and very wise.

This is the opposite of many atheists. They think that they have everything figured out. This is the height of arrogance. How can someone who in the grand scheme of things knows so little think that they have the answer for one of the biggest questions ever.

By the way - this could also apply to fundamentalist religious believers in addition to atheists.

What type of cirriculm do you want to teach anyways?
If you want to teach Birth Control what kind?

Condoms only?
Birth Control Pills can be lethal to some people, I could never take them and never have since my Aunt died from BC Pills.

IUD's can cause women to become sterile in some instances
Condom's are not always completly safe.. If you teach sex ed then you have to be honest and say pregnancy is always a possibility when engaging in sexual activity

What kind of cirriculm do you want taught?

Why is it that everybody views us Christians as "brainwashed"? Because we have beliefs different than yours it means we are incapable of having our own beliefs?

If you thought The Da Vinci Code was bad, wait until you hear about this hateful smear! I’m sure you remember the virulently anti-Christian — specifically anti-Catholic — movie The Da Vinci Code, but have you heard about the new movie?

In "the Great Divorce", people who are in Hell get a chance to go to Heaven. In "The Last Battle" a soldier who was following another religion and devout to a false God was able to go to Heaven because Aslan accredited his good deeds and works as though the soldier was following Aslan.

C.S. Lewis has been a renowned Christian author, but are the respective messages in these particular books compatible with Biblically-based Christian theology? Please be articulate because this area is really troubling me right now.

Thanks

The term 'pro-abortion' is not used because the people say they believe the woman has the right to choose. Cannot pro-life people use that same argument? The women has the right to choose to have sex.

And yes I know i will get about 25 people saying 'so a women that was rapped should have to suffer more?' No, im not saying that.

The fallacy is that we are not talking about some ******* monster. If you don't think you are so ******* smart, then you will agree that there is mystery and wonder in our natural universe, life, etc. There is wonder in the laws of physics and biology. Do you ever wonder if there is a higher power?
By the way, i am an agnostic.

Do you think it prevents teen pregnancy?
Do you think it prevents the spread of STDs?

If so, you're quite incorrect!

That is a study showing that students involved in abstinence only sex education programs and those not involved all have exactly the same chances of engaging in pre-marital sex AND remaining abstinent.

So, kids can remain abstinent without being told to, but even if they are told to, they'll probably have sex anyway!

Why not improve education on STDs and birth control, since many kids will be having sex anyway? Stop denying the truth!

I am a Christian and I don't see anything wrong. It is your basic good vs. evil (with good winning) fantasy tale. I really like it.

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I am a born again Christian and I just really don't see the problem.

let me be clear. i'm not talking about committing suicide. but when you become sick, why do you even bother going to see a doctor? why bother with vaccines that will make you live any longer than you really have to? if heaven is all it's cracked up to be in the bible, why would you delay your inevitable mortality by going to see a doctor for medicine? you may suffer a bit, but doesn't suffering only bring us closer to god? your family may miss you, but why worry about that, once they die you'll be with them for all eternity? i bet if you never took any antibiotics or vaccines you could cut down your wait time to go to heaven at least in half. how about it?

most of you think that Planned parenthood assists the poor and socially challenged people, don't you think it is a racist practice. afterall wont it be mostly the blacks and hispanics who the abortions will be perform on? do you know the background of Planned Parenthood. check it out. it was started by margaret sanger who was a racist from day one. it was a to her, a wonderful way to rid the country of blacks. but dont go by me, look it up. use heads for a change instead of your mouths.
Planned Parenthood is NOT a government agency. why not let those who support abortion pay with their taxes and the pro lifers choose what worthwhile charity their portion could go to. like feeding the babies in dafur and digging water wells there to. i hope i asked enough questions to satisfy all you nit pickers who are worried about rules. oh and for those who blasted me about the wrong category, i chose this category because i think God cares about this. God bless ya'll

The way to give an award is by simply answering the question with the name of an award.


If you have any other ideas feel free to post them.

They're athiests. Why don't they just get on with their lives? Nobody's bothering them. They make the claim but they never substantiate it.
