Could a dog open doors if it had opposable thumbs?

And would those opposable thumbs evolve, or be created by god? (to fit the section)

I feel teenagers are not mature enough to handle sexual relationships. Both teenage boys and girls are not ready to accept the responsiblities of an unplanned pregnancy. Say two teenagers oh about 17-18 years old decide to get married because the girl got pregnant. That is not the best reason to get married. I would also promote abstenance for those in college. Getting pregnant while you are in college is tough too. It would be hard to finish college with a kid to raise. Now what a a man and a woman does as an adult I could care less. I think it is good to wait until you are married but I will not go around bad mouthing adults that have sex outside of marriage. A husband should not cheat on his wife nor should a wife cheat on her husband. I am not a supporter of the homosexual lifestyle but I will not go around condeming those that are that way. I will however teach my kids to abstain from sex until they are married and hope they make the right choices. What do you think?

What do you all think of these? So is it that atheists don't live as long?

According to prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri (say it out loud) there are no new fossils being created. The proof of this is that the world is running out of coal and oil. We will have none left in 50 years.

Coal and oil are fossil fuels, made from fossils. If we were still making fossils, we wouldn't run out of coal and oil, because we could always just turn the new fossils into fuel. Therefore, new fossils are not being made naturally.

This proves that old fossils were not made naturally either. The only explanation is that Satan put them there to trick humans for his own amusement. He tricks humans with science to turn them away from God.

How do you explain that, fossilutionists?

my father just passed away on aug 1.2007,and my son had a dream of him the other day. and my son is 9,and my son could not make this up because he would never in a million years say what my dad said to him. so i actually think my dad spoke to him,that being said he told him something that when my son told us we would believe he told him from the other side,and if he said granpa said to me in a dream he misses us that would be like oh thats nice son but he didnt get that,my dad told him" tommy do you know the pictures of jesus,well he doesnt look like that at all"... i found this very comforting and i was amazing and still heart felt by it,and do you agree that my son could not have made this up and do you believe? if you dont i hope that this may inspire 1 person to believe in jesus and to believe that there is life after death,i have other awesome stories about angels leaving dimes too and it didnt happen until someone told me it and i have over 10 dimes from dad,no pen,nicks,or qua

Do you feel that Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are giving Christians a bad name?


for example:
Their banana and watchmaker and crocoduck garbage is UNDENIABLE evidence that the theory of evolution is a farce according to those two. Then seeing any semi-intelligent person find fault in their claims.

I post an article that has to do with a person who values morality and does not want his city a haven, regardless if it is homosexuals or straight who want to have sex in public bathrooms! Because the Homosexual Agenda is so Political we have a Hate Speech bill that will silence the church and people FOR MORALITY that want to convey a message of DECENCY!
The worst HATE MESSAGE is living in a society that states morality is how you define it...
Who in there right mind thinks meeting a stranger in a Beach Bathroom Stall for a trist, is the thing to do!
Would you want that permitted in your city????

I blame Rose for Jack's death. See, if she had stayed on that life boat he could have climbed up on that bit of wood in the end and he wouldn't have hypothermiated

On the one hand, her choice to abandon the life boat is totally illogical because if she loved him so much that she can't live without him, she could always decide to kill herself later. But on the other hand, the choice works out for her because it causes Jack's death and rather than have to risk spending a long, mundane life with him and watch him get fat, grow old or even possibly cheat on her, she has the rest of her life to romantically reminisce about what could have been.

(I've had this question in my mind for a while, but SisterZeal's recent Q has prompted me to finally ask it.)

I don't understand how Christians can think humanity is in such a rotten place, when you consider how much progress we've made: People live longer than ever before, we have better food, shelter, etc, all because of human invention. We build dams and siesmographs and lightening rods to protect us from the wrath of God. Basically everything enjoyable in your life, including people, plants and animals, have been altered in some positive way by humanity.
I've read projections that in 50 years, the GDP in Africa will likely rise to the level enjoyed by western countries today. So, given all that we've accomplished, esp considering the crappy start,how about giving humanity a little credit, Christians?!

Would you still appreciate his teachings. I mean if you took away the rewards of heaven and the punishment of hell, and just kept the morals.
Would you?

my first topic about Jehovah's Witnesses was a success. most of the responses were very opinionated but found to be wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses are loving kind people who yes, to some may annoy people when they come th their door, but always have their bible to share a scripture with someone. no they do not celebrate birhtdays and holidays because there is no scripture in the bible that commands them to do so. everytime someone celebrated birhtdays someone died and i can prove it at Ge. 40:20 Mt 14:6. christmas is not for christians get you r facts straight it was originated from pagans who celebrated the "sun" NOT the "son". and years later it became a tradition being passed on. im not lying anyone can look this up. and Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in blood transfusions beacuse in the bible it says to abstain from blood at acts 15:20. and no they do not want their children to die! that is so sick for people to say that. last. thank you.

One time I was extremly upset because I felt like I had no puropse in life. I felt that I wanted to trully die and I cried myself to sleep. I drempt that I was in a giant room and at the end of it there was a blue arch with a long corridor, everything was white and I coudnt see the ceeling, it was very tall. At the end there was a giant movie screen and a giant figure dressed in white and blue robes came in, the person was very big and tall, I coudnt see from the shoulder up. The figure showed me in the screen how things would be If I would die suddenly. I saw how my mother would be psychologically impacted, and how everyone would be compleatley devastated, not just my family, but friends and everyone in school including my teachers. Then I learend that in me rests a balance that It would be catastrphical to destroy. Now I know that Im a person that although im ignored, I hold an impontant purpose that I cant afford to loose. Was it a dream or something else? It felt so real though.

This summer, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle said installing single-occupancy restrooms at local beaches would deter homosexual activity. Also, the mayor voted against relocating a homosexual library on public property. Since making these decisions, the mayor has endured public criticism from homosexual activists and their supporters.

Mayor Naugle says the reaction by homosexuals shows the danger of proposed hate crimes legislation.

"There are websites ... identifying different locations in my city that are available for men to have sex with men," says Naugle. "I spoke out against that -- and this is a good example of the dangers of the hate crimes legislation, because I've been [accused of] hate speech and [called] a bigot and all kinds of things." He adds that he finds it "really amazing" that speech against illegal activity is labeled as hate speech.
