I made a celibacy vow years ago, and now my fiance wants me to break it. I told him that my vow was a promise to God, and that it was that I would abstain from sex until I was married.. My fiance argues that we will be getting married, so it shouldn't matter.. How can I tell him no without hurting him?

sometimes here on yahoo! answers i hear people saying evolution is just a "theory"

i find they are using this word incorrectly, see a theory in conversation is like this "oh my theory of why i failed the test was because i didnt study." as in opinion

and how it is used as a scientific term which is a system of ideas that explains many related observations and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation. as in science

notice it had "A LARGE BODY OF EVIDENCE"

soo please be aware of the word "theories" two uses when you decide to say "evolution (gravity,relativity,ect.) is just a "theory."

The KKK use the Bible to justify themselves. How exactly do they do that? Specific verses would be nice.

If the Bible and Jesus Christ say that we must love each other then why does the KKK thrive on hatred of others.

If the KKK would take off their robes and take off their hoods and just fill their hearts with love then this world would be a better place.

I know everyone makes mistakes. I accepted Christ into my heart and asked him to forgive my sins, but sometimes I still lie. And I feel really bad. I don't want to lie but sometimes it just happens! When I ask for Him to forgive me, does he? (Even though I messed up after asking him to be my savior.)

...is this just a Mac thing, or do all you Internet Explorer uses see the new layout? How about PC users of Firefox? It's been like this for more than a week, I think.

And to make it religious, would Jesus approve of the new layout?

I will NEVER come up with an answer as to why human beings, so diligently believe every word they read in the bible, without questioning the sources, the time line etc...
Most of it is good moral values ill give you that, but to take that as proof of existence of god, is unfeasibly ignorant and foolish!!
Does this mean that you believe that everything you see on TV must also be true??
Will any of you believers admit, that there is a 0.001 percent chance that some of the passages written in the bible are untrue? and if not, how can you back up your faith with positive, hard, sound, solid, material facts?

...and the earth? I know it then goes on mention two kids who get it on together while they eat fruit and some brother smiting his brother (I think this occurs on the streets of East Gethsemane). I LOVED this book as a kid and now that I'm regressing, I'd really like to find it again. Lots of blood & gore, an alcoholic named Noah who exacts revenge on his own son for seeing him naked, sacrifices of wives and children...but all in a child-like setting called "Babel" wherein God removes all remnants of free will by making it impossible for people to understand one another . Does ANYONE know the title and author? It would be so appreciated!

Santa Claus?

If 90% the entire adult world refused to abandon their belief in Santa Claus and further DEIFIED him, if they insisted on building shrines to worship the jolly old fat man, created groups and lobbied the govt to grant them tax-free status, if they insisted that money be printed with "In Santa We Trust", and you if had to accept "one nation, under Santa, indivisible with liberty..." as part of the pledge, if they made people swear on a wrapped toy in court, and if they tried to tell women they couldn't get abortions because Santa said it was wrong, if they wanted to teach children in school how Santa created the universe in six days around 6000 years ago, would it not be incumbent on atheists to rescue the world from this insane delusion.

So why is it different because their imaginary character is named God instead of Santa?

Okay, so I have this voice teacher, who's Russian and Jewish. In her early 40's. Long story short; she nearly saved my life. So I really want to bake her brownies in thanks. I just don't know if she only eats Kosher foods. I know that she does celebrate pretty much all the Jewish holdiays, but she doesn't seem TOO religious. She doesn't wear a Star of David necklace that I see a lot reform Jewish people my family and I know. She I don't think she's Orthodox because she doesn't always wear long skirts. She barely wears skirts. Once I saw her at this Italian restraunt and she was eating normally there. So any ideas? Is it a good idea to bake her the brownies? I'm about 80% sure she does NOT eat ONLY Kosher foods.

Thanks a ton! (Sorry if I offended anyone in any way.)

Thanks again!

Yes, I like to have them at least once a month. Like my period. Except I like them.

I thought it seemed like everyone was on today, and when I pulled up the questions, I was lost! Can a woman get a break and find out who is responsible for all of these shenanigans....without me? I would have crawled out of my sickbed to see the questions that were deleted by the time I came on.

and why do they think that having faith is "comfortable"?
Some of the toughest experiences in my life have tested my faith severely. Faith is far from comforting...it's challenging and exciting to me...
am I deluded because of this?
