I know Jehovahs Witness do not believe in blood transfusions, well anyway, if your son or daughter needed a life-saving blood transfusion, what would be your decision?

Why do we have to be here?
I don't understand. Its all just struggles of pain and confusion and love and sin. What is your idea?

...or just make something up. It's really not that important to me.

A mother of 2 pre-school children is in her 3rd pregnancy.

She has diabetes, and because of its advanced state, physicians say that if she continues her pregnancy, she has a 30-50% chance of dying, and leaving her current children without a mom.

There is negligible risk from an abortion (less than 1% chance of serious complication) if the procedure is performed within the next 2 weeks.

How should she weigh the factors in making her decision?

Should the government have a role in helping her make this decision?

What would your church say or do when she next attended with her family?

useful? Why didn't he stop the terrorist on 9/11? Why didn't he stop Baby Grace's parents from abusing her and killing her? Why does he create ice storms that kill people?

Man's free will, I know... but what about innocent VICTIMS? Why isn't God protecting his children??

Why do I bother asking these questions?

I just found this website a couple of weeks ago, and am just intrigued, by some of your questions.How many out there believe in what their denominations says, instead of the BIBLE, and if you knew your religion wasn't following the BIBLE, would you stay in it????????

If god created us in his image as a perfect reflection of himself, would he to have been tempted by sin just as Eve was?

during a talk with an all knowing atheist and a god loveing true christian baptists, two things about my religion came up that until now I did not realize to be true.

aparently we are one of the most sexist religions in the world, because the bible is sexist and we dont allow women to be priests, and we force pregnant women to call the "mass of tissue in her stomach" a baby, who knows it could really be an ostrich right?,

however on further enlightenment I found out that we also worship mary and other saints, including females, forgive my simple mind but if we were sexist against women, why then would we sink so low as to worship them, and their ilk?

please help this poor and confused catholic


think satire*

Suppose you are running out of a burning building, inside of which are still (a) your six-year-old sister and (b) a small jar containing ten human embryos. You can save either your sister or the jar of embryos, but not both. Whom would you save, and why? (Justify your answer.)

**I am pro-life and somebody asked me this question in a debate. Although I think that I would save my sister, I'm wondering if anybody has any insights on what is the morally right thing to do in this situation.

Some data suggest that the number of new converts each year is matched by the number of members who go inactive. For example:

http://www.gc.cuny.edu/faculty/images/image019.gif

(If you're an active Mormon, you must know full well that general authorities themselves are deeply concerned about the growing numbers of inactive Latter-day Saints--suggesting that the data above are believed even by them.)

Isn't this a problem for people who believe Joseph Smith was a prophet?
