11. I love being part of the tolerant, diverse communtiy
where we respect one another's beliefs and don't infer that folks that believe differently than we do are insane.

But that's just me.

18. Yeah usually I do
but I've been so bored all day on here, being sick with the flu and you were the first person who said anything even remotely juicy enough for me to bitch about so I did.

AND I'M NOT PROUD OF IT.

Want a chocolate chip cookie?

Sorry...

(but those voices? They are my friends. Don't knock 'em.)

22. I guess you'll finally be able to answer a question. . .
that bugs people on this board no end, BlueJazz:

Please provide us the knowledge you possess that proves Jesus Christ did not live.

I'm not asking for proof he wasn't a "Son of God" or didn't perform miracles or anything like that. Those issues are irrelevant to this conversation. I'm just interested in how you know the person whom all the myths and misguided beliefs are about never existed. Because acmavm made no mention of card tricks or parlor illusions, merely that she would want to meet the man. You, on the other hand, believe her desire so idiotic you immediately ridicule her by debasing not the object of her desire, but her very belief itself.

So please, enlighten us with the irrefutable evidence you hold that permits you to ridicule another person. Share your knowledge, BlueJazz, the knowledge that's been sought by millions for millenia and which you so smugly hold in your hands. Enlighten us, or shut the fuck up.

5. God(s). Q: Does some part of us exist after death of our physical body?
If yes, does the quality of that existence depend upon what we do in this physical life?
If yes, what factors are used to maximize the quality of existence in the next life?

6. my mom and dad....
Edited on Sun Jan-01-06 06:46 PM by stillcool47
she died when I was a year old...and he...a veteran of WWII drowned his sorrows and gave me to his sister.
Ah...and the question would be...What were you thinking?...and I would want to know what their lives were like...growing up, how they met, just who they were.

9. If It Could Be Only One Person -- Maybe Henry Kissinger
I'd like to get a better handle on the New World Order. I figure Kissinger, if he were being honest, could fill me in on the details.

12. Paul
aka Saul of Tarsus.

Then we'd get to the bottom of what it is HE interjected into the definition of "Christianity" .

13. Mary Magdalene
I'd ask her about her relationship with Christ. I'd ask her about Easter morning. I'd ask her for the scoop on all the apostles.

I'd also probably be snarky and ask if Mary stayed a virgin.

16. Or, how about Mary. You could ask her herself whether she
was a virgin and who the real father was.

19. I thought about that
but frankly, I think Mary M would be more interesting and you would get the scoop better from her. I mean, never ask a guy's mother if you want the truth, you know?

17. Well... Mary was married and reportedly, James the Apostle was also
her son.

So, unless she and Joseph had some sort of special agreement, MHO would be no.

There's a Pope in Rome
who strongly disagrees but I personally find it odd that she would never have had more children in that society where children were survival.

15. Queen Elizabeth I of England. I would like to know why,
as a woman, she didn't use her power to raise the status of the women of her time. Instead she still kept men in high positions during her reign and didn't do anything for gender equality at all.

23. Ben Franklin or Martin Luther King
I don't know where to begin with asking MLK questions, mostly, "Are you disappointed in America?"

As for Franklin, "If you thought America was screwed up back then, what do you think of it now?"
