What do you think the world would be like if there had never been religion?
It's a pretty moot question, as humans appear to have had some sort of religious belief for a very long time. Homo neanderthal burials show that the bodies were covered in red earth to simulate birth (rebirth?) and acccompanied by tools and flowers, indicating some sort of belief in ongoing life.
There have been attempts to build a-religious societies, the one coming to mind immediately being...

Ladies do you find it cute/romantic if your b/f asked your parents permission first before he asks you to marry him? and if either way how come?
My husband didn't ask permission so much, but he did a polite inform. He asked me in the car, and I accepted, then we went back to my place and TRIED to inform my parents but they were watching the football and wouldnt let him talk. It was so funny looking back, because we had to wait an hour before we could announce.
It wasn't funny at the time though.

It is hard to know the true numbers. In most majority Muslim countries, it is punishable by imprisonment or even death to convert to another religion, and women are severely controlled so that they do not marry out.
So, even though there are many converts, their conversion is either not acknowledged legally, or they are covered up.

pain is a natural thing. It saves us from dying. However, how we respond to pain can be culturally determined. If we are told to "let it all out", then we will. If, however, we are taught to be stoic, then we will be that too.
Men handle pain differently from women.

An Atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings (according to dictionary.com). Are most Buddhists also Atheists, then?
Buddha was an agnostic. He said he did not know if there were gods or a god. Consequently, a true follower of traditional Buddhism would be an agnostic also. They would say that the tenets of buddhism could be followed no matter if you believed in a deity or not.
However, over the centuries, Buddhism has become mixed with traditional religions in many countries, so forms of folk Buddhism...

If he throws a tizzy and demands proof that it is his, stay calm and say that you are only too happy to have a paternity test done as soon as it is safe for both you and the child.

Can you explain munchausen by proxy in simple terms?
Baron von Munchausen was a fictional character who exaggerated his experiences. Munchausen's syndrome is when a person exaggerates symptoms of illness to get attention (hypochondriacs come under this, to some extent). Munchausens by proxy is when they say that someone else is sick, usually a child, and sometimes the sufferer actually makes the other person sick to obtain attention.

So what exactly is mush, anyway? I'm thinking of what Oliver Twist asked for more of. Is it basically like oatmeal, but maybe made with cornmeal or other grains?
Oliver Twist asked for more gruel, not mush. Gruel is like porridge. Wikipedia says:Gruel is a type of preparation consisting of some type of cereal, wheat or rye flour, and also rice, boiled in water or milk.
However, the gruel being given to the children was very watery and thin, which did not fill their stomachs. That is why someone had to ask for more, and Oliver drew the short straw.

Mention some of them
There are now EIGHT official planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Pluto has been demoted to a planetoid, because it does not have the size to attract satellites, which is a prerequisite of planets.

I would be wondering about your guest and his inability to let his girls be girls and not sex objects. I had to google these to see how revealing they are, and I would have a fit if my 14 yo and 17 yo even thought of buying such a thing.

If you are with someone and everything is going well until you meet this new nicer person and it turns out they like you, also your mate likes this girl. How do you choose the right one?

Does marriage make people nicer? It seems that many of the cute nice guys are already married. So were they nice before marriage, or did marriage improve their character?
People often think that they can change their partner after marriage, but I believe that is wrong. A person goes into marriage with all their qualities fully formed. There is generally not a lot of improvement, rather the opposite. People let their guard down after marriage and often become worse.
If you see nice guys in marriage, it is probably because they were that way beforehand.

Why do missionaries try to convert everybody to their religion? Haven't they ever considered that maybe somebody doesn't want to be converted or doesn't like their religion?
If you have a product you consider good, you try to persuade people to buy it. The consumer has the choice as to whether they want to or not.
It is the same with ideas and philosophies. If you believe in something, it is natural to want to share it with others. Those others can accept it or reject it.

Im against the catholic church,and think the priest who molested those kids should go to prison for along time.With that said why do people without Christ keep condeming them,when you are a with out Christ and on your way to hell aswell?
I don't think there is any thinking and caring person who would disagree with you regarding pedophile priests going to prison for a long long time.
I think that these priests can be rightly condemned by both Christians and non christians alike, becuase they have done horrible things.
But, my friend, if you ARE a Christian, your heart should be loving, not unfeeling as your last sentence...

If you're still in love with someone who has passed away, is there any hope that you can move on, even though you don't really want to?
It is normal to grieve for a long time after someone you have loved deeply has passed on. Give yourself time.
There should come a time in the next year or so when the grief lifts enough to see a future.
But the time it takes depends on many factors. If, after a year, you are still in the depths of grief, please get some counselling.
All the best.

Are evil people made or born evil?
Evil is the worst extension of the problem that all humans have, which is egoism/self-centredness/ sin. No one is born evil, but they are born with the capacity to develop evil within them, if they indulge their egoism.

There are still constants, no matter the changes. People will always join letters the same way, cross t's the same way. It can be sublte, but an expert can pick these similarities. They are the things that make forgery hard. Eg I am left handed. If a right hander tried to forge my signature, it would be as obvious as if it were written in red ink.

What is the male equivalent to a 'diva' or 'prima donna?'
Prima donna is Italian for "First lady", so the equivalent is "primo uomo" (first man). The titles are given to the principals of an operatic or dance company.
The term "diva" really means "goddess", so the male form is "divo", as in "Il Divo" the group of absolutely yummy males who sing opera as well as looking good.

For an unmarried person, it is not adultery, but it is still cerebral sex.

I think it is what the Bible calls "endless genealogies" to speculate. I hope that it is very few. Knowing the mercy of God, He would have been trying even in the last moments of life, to have convinced those dying, of the truth.
Answer to:
Do you believe that peoples' relationships with God take place in their imaginations or do you believe that they are actually real?
REcent scientific experiments have found that there are spiritual centres in the brain, so it appears that humans are wired for spirituality. Why would that be if there was no one to respond to those centres?
So, as a believing Christian myself, I believe that God is the reason for those centres of spirituality.

The Duchovnys called it off on the same day. Am I surprised? Not at all. A man with a known sex addiction is starring in a show called "Californication". I think the producers of the show should be called to account for allowing the show to continue, knowing he had this problem. They, in fact, fed cocaine to an addict or drink to an alcoholic.

If I was to say that this person was, I might be maligning someone who is not, in fact corrupt.

Yes, he does. But he does not expect it in this life. For Christians, this life is a gradual learning about the character of God and what he has done by sending Christ as the substitute for our rebellion (sin). By the Spirit he is transforming our minds so that we want to do good.
For some it is an easier job than for others, and we will all be at different points when we reach heaven.

The only time I use bottled water is in Asia when I travel, and even then, I often refill the bottles from the boiled supply at the home I stay in.
