You really need to use the quote function and not mess with the font size.

Yes I have been to Las Vegas, many times and not to just gamble. I have stayed in Vegas for 4 weeks at a time. I may have been there over 300 times, I really have no idea. I have gone a few blocks from the strip in fact I have spent weeks a few blocks from the strip. Vegas is like any other city with the addition of gambling. If you are addicted you clearly should stay away. It's like putting a shot in front of an alcholoic. Unlike you, I can take $20 go to the tables win or lose and stop. You are unfairly trying to regulate the world to prevent yourself and others like you from being tempted. Prohibition was a stupid attempt to legislate morality and so would be legislation to prevent gambling. Sorry that you have a problem but there are many of us who don't. Fact - I have never spent money on gambling that I could not afford to lose. Fact - I'm not the only one. Fact - Vegas has vastly improved in all forms of services and community programs over the years compared to many cities of its size.

What a mess you made by not using the quote function.

1- I asked you to prove the statement God is, you replied you don't have to because that's what faith is about.

BUZZ- Wrong answer.

You clearly have no children and have never taught or explained any concept to anyone. My point was if you expect to be taken seriously in proselytizing you have to explain your basis for faith. Why are you right in your belief and the Jews that were the basis for your religion wrong. There is more to this than they don't see Jesus as the messiah too.  Why am I wrong to claim your god is Yahweh the volcano god of Canaan?

2- I asked you to prove God made it all. Your answer again was faith.

BUZZ- Wrong answer.

You obviously have never had a 4 year old ask you  why 900 times have you? As far as I'm concerned Yahweh is a volcano god that some savages in Canaan dreamed up. He was incapable of everything especially making it all.

3-I asked why God made man and you said faith.

BUZZ- Wrong answer.

Faith doesn't provide an answer for an inquiring mind. Was God just bored with the 6 winged creatures singing?

4-I asked you what rules man broke. You said faith. Again- Wrong Answer. Running away from questions by saying faith indicates to me you have no idea.

5-I asked about Satan or the snake tempting man, you said faith again. I conclude you have no idea and are afraid to consider this question as it may cause you to have a microsecond of doubt which could damn you forever.

6-I asked you when & where Satan & his angels fell from God. Your answer was faith. Faith in what? You realize no where in your Holy Bible is there anything about this don't you? You have faith in something not in your book. Revelation doesn't count as that is a future event in most Christian concepts.

7-I asked about God evicting man from Paradise. Your took the Faith Amendment again. You sound a lot like a Mobster on the stand. I take the 5th. In you case it's I take it on Faith. Your Bible describes a situation where upon Paradise is described in a place that should be easy to locate. Just look for the flaming swords.

8-Man was turned into a mortal being. You took the Faith again. There's no proof man wasn't always mortal and nothing in the myth of the Garden supports that man wasn't always so.

9- I asked you why was man born with Adam's original sin and you took the Faith. Your Bible doesn't say this in Genesis, the Jews generally don't agree with you.

10-I asked where God provided a future way to be saved and you took the Faith again. I guess that means he didn't as you don't know where in Genesis to find it.

You don't have to prove anything to yourself, but you do need to prove your claims if you try to push your beliefs on others. If you can't provide proof, then just don't try to debate or discuss. Keep your Faith to yourself and all is well.

So does this get you closer to Paul the heretic Jew that had an affliction. You see this as your cross to bear in this world in other words. If so, you are being foolish. I'm not gay, but I don't care if others are. You are wasting your life being a martyr for a belief system that sees you as evil incarnate. Sorry for your problem, the belief in God that is.

Politics is a completely different area. So what. The president that is elected will make some worthwhile decisions and he will not be able to do what he thought he could or promised. Get over it.

There are far more than 2 sides to issues.  Take the energy issue. Some want to pump oil from every square inch of the US. Some want to turn all our grains into ethanol, some want to tax gas to death, some want to go electric, some want hydrogen or natural gas to power cars, some want public transportation, some want the government to fund, and some don't.

You sound a whole lot like an old time communist with this statement. So you want to slave for others until every last person in the world has a pair of shoes? You want to work and feed every last person in the world? Why stop there, you going to help them all get DVD and HD TV?

Now you know why there is a Bill of Rights and laws to prevent discrimination.

It appears to be stable, I don't see tanks on my street.

So what if they passed a law that all gays were to be executed because 80% want it as you are an abomination is that still OK?

Again, that's what the Bill of Rights is about and discrimination laws. You should have a right to get married to your boyfriend if you want, then you can see why marriage is hell.

I do. I support gay marriage though I'm not gay.

I support your freedom of religion though I'm not a theist.

I support women's equality though I'm a guy.

I respect your right to your opinion though I think you are wrong.

There are all kinds of atheists many are passive many are not. Being passive doesn't seem to work as theists attempt to put God beliefs into laws to protect their view of morality. As I said in my last response to you, if you can't handle something or don't like it stay away from it. Consider this, I don't go to gay bars or churches because I'm not interested, if you see something as immoral to your belief stay away.

I'm still interested, though, in how one who claims to be homosexual does not practice homosexuality.  That does not make any sense; to be homosexual is to... be homosexual.  I don't even think 'being gay but not being gay' means anything. I’ll take answers, or the suggestion of an answer, from anyone.

Edit: It's saddening, Anonymouse, that your friend killed himself.

I have heard that practice makes perfect...

Whatever - you must have moved it. I put it in the cheese drawer where it belongs.

I think it's St. Rick, and yeah, it's ridiculous.
