Is the stigma true: single-parent women cannot successfully raise boys to be men w/o a father figure?
Are there any successful single-parent women out there than want to share their tactics on how they raised successful boy(s)?
I have been a divorced single-parent for the past 13 years and he father has never been in his life at all. I am seeing what people have told me in the past that there will be a time when my son will want to try to stand up and overpower me.
Are there any men out there who are willing to offer me some advice?Is the stigma true: single-parent women cannot successfully raise boys to be men w/o a father figure?
I raised my son alone - he is now 33 and has been in the Navy for 14 years. He is a fine, upstanding guy - he is married for 6 years now - he is happy, she never has to worry about him doing the wrong thing. Oh, we went through a phase but it all works out. I was very lucky in that my Dad was an excellent role model for my son.Is the stigma true: single-parent women cannot successfully raise boys to be men w/o a father figure?
No more true than a single parent man cannot succesfully raise girls to be women without a mother figure.
SOMEBODY needs to teach your son how to be a man, otherwise he will get his instruction from pop culture and his friends (I think you know how well that works out).
A woman can teach a boy to be a man, but it's easiest if that is done by a man (not necessarily the father). It could be an uncle, grandfather, cousin, or even step-dad.
The bottom line is that a boy NEEDS a role model in his life willing and capable of showing him how to behave properly as the foundation of the man he will become.
I really hope it's not true, I'm pregnant with a boy, and his father up and left me when he found out... So this boy is going to be raised by me and only me.
I have a lot of friends who are men who were raised without fathers, they aren't all perfect, but some are doing pretty well. I think it all depends on what we do as mothers, to raise our sons well.
That question kind of scared me! If you have any advice for me, let me know... My only advice is what I keep telling myself, ';Do the best you possibly can';...
My husbands father left when he was 8. His mom still took him camping and fishing and all of that. His mom also made sure to teach him to respect women as well as others. He is really great with our daughter and is a great husband as well as father. You need to make sure you teach him that you are his mother, and you are the boss.
My wife raised her two boys alone until we married. She gave them the strong underpinning. My addition to the ';raising'; was only secondary. It is, indeed, possible for a single mother to train a boy to be a decent man.
No!
I don't know why but I think boys raised by single mums always turn out nicer to women than others because in 2 parent families the women often does all the housework etc. and the boy picks up on this!
So not true, honestly. If you raise your child to respect you then he will.

U.K. - is it true that single moms are supported by social services until each child is 14?
Anyone in Great Britain confirm this? I read on the Observer website that single mothers in Great Britain got 14 years of welfare support, and didn't need to work.
Is that true? Are food subsidies (food stamps) and subsidized housing included?
thanks if you know.....U.K. - is it true that single moms are supported by social services until each child is 14?
All mothers in the UK are supported by social services, there's socialized health care and there's also Family Allowance. See the link below.
The UK is a much more people oriented society than the US, there is a general belief that the most important thing a government can do is look after its people. The labor party hasn't been doing so well supporting the system in the last ten years or so but it's still a country where a pregnant woman gets entirely free health care. It's so much cheaper to have healthy children than to care for handicapped kids who would have been perfect if their mothers had been given twenty pounds worth of advice and ten pounds worth of vitamins and folic acid.U.K. - is it true that single moms are supported by social services until each child is 14?
My information is purely observational, but hear me: I've lived in England for a few years, and my impression is that any British teenager with a child is entitled to an apartment and some sort of weekly allowance. You'd need to be a citizen and go through the system, but it is certainly happening. As to why, I couldn't say; Britain needs children is my guess. Subsidized housing is definitely part of it, and food is dealt with via an allowance.
Keep one thing in mind though: Nice as this may sound, the so-called Council Estates are a place you aren't safe in. I've had to live close enough to them to tell the tale... crime is rampant there.
Sadly, for the most part it is true. This labour government has created a disgraceful society in this country whereby a great deal of youngsters care only for themselves and drop out bastards by the dozen just so that they can get a life on welfare...practically everything given to them and it's the decent, hardworking taxpayer who foots the bill. Don't for a moment though think that you will be eligible to come here and live like that...things are changing...maybe the worm has turned...and it's going to be much harder to get housing anyway as it's all being given to asylum seekers/refugees and immigrants from the EU....and that is happening whilst decent UK citizens are forced to live in shelters and on the streets because of the above facts...
Re another answer regarding the crime on council estates...it's the above type of people who are making these areas such as they are today!

Not a ';true'; single mom?? WTH?
So, I was talking to a friend I haven't seen in a WHILE.... And I said something about it not being easy to deal with a baby, and being a single mom (although I DO have my parents' help, which I am eternally grateful for) doesn't make it any easier.
They replied with ';oh, you aren't a TRUE single mom since your parents help.';
I was under the impression ';single parent'; meant the other responsible (or not so responsible, as I haven't even heard from him! anyway...) party was NOT INVOLVED. Which Jamie's father is not.
So needless to say, I'm throughly confused.
What *is* a single parent, and what the heck was meant by that statement??Not a ';true'; single mom?? WTH?
I agree, that is silly. She is probably just resentful of you because maybe her parents aren't helping her or she feels that you have more help than she does. You are a single mother if the child's father isn't involved, and you are indeed a lucky single mother if you have a family that is helping you out. :)Not a ';true'; single mom?? WTH?
They are not accurate.
Having your parents or any family member is a help, but they are not there all the time.
You are the main sole provider, and caregiver. You get them up in the morning, make sure they are bathed and fed. Who takes them to the doctor when they are sick?
If the father is not in the household in which the child spends most of their time.
You are a single parent.
That individual is not being sensitive to your situation. If and when they have children, they may hav more in site on this. It is a tough road and I commend you.
you are a single mom because you are in every sense of the word, you are a mom and are single (or at least not with the father, single) you just have extra help. I was raised the same way when I was a baby, although I did have my dad in my life a little then and now I am a freshman in high school and my time is split between both parents.
You are the only responsible one of Jamie's two parents, therefore you are a single mom.
Your friend is just wrong. Your parents could (not to say they would) stop helping you guys at anytime. You are his only parent in the picture, the only person who is truly responsible for him (although his dad should be too!) so you are a single mom.
your friends don't have kids so they don't understand that single parent is a single parent if they aren't in a relationship with the father or mother of their children/child I don't think you should worry about it unless they bring it up again and if they do tell them '; hey I am a single parent because Jamie's father isn't present';
thst has got to the stupidest statement regarding parenting i have ever read. if you don't have a husband/boyfriend helping you with the kids ur a single mother period doesn't matter if ur whole freaking family is helping ur still a single mom
I have always thought that a single mother is a mother who raises her childran by herself. I know a lot of single mothers who have their whole families helping them. If the father is not involved you are a single mother.
You are a single parent, don't listen to idiots. I am a single parent too, although both me and my best friend raise her child and my child together.
That is probably (no offense to your friend here) one of the stupidest statements I have ever read! What is a single mum supposed to do? Survive with no help?Struggle through with no free time? lol.
To me your a single mum, and I would think most single mums have their parents help them out once in a while! Very few do *everything* by themselves.
You are still a single mom, she just sounds like one of those people that wants to make everyone else feel bad about themselves. I have an old friend who is like that. No matter what you say, she has to downplay it or demean you. Like when I said I was thinking of taking a few college courses her immediate response was, ';You will never be able to handle it with a baby.'; Real supportive, huh? lol
I think she just said it to be mean. You are very lucky you have your parents help, but that doesn't mean that your child has two involved parents. Just ignore her.
I consider a single mother to be an unmarried woman with a child. She could have a boyfriend who helps or not, live with her parents or not, etc.
And she's an idiot really. So any ';help'; can make you less of a parent. If that's the case married parents living with their parents or accepting help of ANY kind are also not true parents right? She's a moron, ignore her
You are a single mother. Since your babies father is not in his life, you need to be able to depend on your family. I'm sure you are a great mother. Keep up the good work. I would reevaluate your friendship with the friend that said that to you. Or maybe, give her a call and clarify the meaning of a single mother.
you are a single parent with a great family! obviosly either this person does not have a child and doesnt realize how hard it is, or is a single parent and are putting themselves on some kind of peddastool cause there family wouldnt help. go you for sticking in there!! bump what other people have to say
You are. If only 1 of the parents is raising the child they are then, a ';single parent';. It doesn't matter if you are getting help from others. Most single parents do get help if they have any sort of support system. I think I would have laughed at your very presumptuous ';friend'; for being so naive.
By definition, a single parent is is a parent who cares for one or more children alone or without the assistance of another parent in the home. So it does make you a single parent if Jamie's father is not involved, but I think you're friend is thinking of the 'assistance' part as your parents helping you, therefore it's not only you taking care of the baby. Either way, it's mean for her to say that since you are taking care of the baby no matter what.
This person probably meant you shouldn't be complaining because you have some help. I am assuming she meant that a ';true'; single parent does everything all on their own.
I think that is an ignorant comment for your friend to make. You are a ';true'; single parent as your baby is your responsibility alone since the father has not contributed. I am sure your parents do help a lot but when it comes down to it they are just grandparents- that doesn't take the place of a missing parent.
Somebody ought to slap her into next week for being so stupid! Sounds like she has no children and doesn't know what it is like.
That was your friend being a jerk and trying to find some way to make you feel negative. Either she's a single mom and is trying to make herself feel better, like she has it tougher than you and she wants to be stronger (You know the type, they want pity themselves and are stingy with giving it out)....or....she is not a single mom and is looking down on you for being one, and is avoiding sympathizing because she honestly thinks she has it worse than you and thinks you feel too sorry for yourself. Either way, I think she has a bad attitude and isn't much of a friend.
A single parent is someone who is wholly responsible for raising a child. If your parents are helping a LOT, such as providing a house for you and the baby and not charging expensive rent...as well as babysitting, feeding, buying the baby items, helping you when you need it, then I would say that your position really isn't that bad and your friend wanted to give you a reality check. If you and your baby are living alone, then your friend was just being snooty.
Unless you dropped the baby off on you parents doorstep the day he was born and don't bother to feed him, cloth him or change his diaper, then you are a single mom!! You are the one who does all the work, no daddy, so you are a single mom! Even couples with children have their parents help!! Heck, I am married but my husband works so far away we see him 6 days a month! I wonder if I am not a part time single mom, if there is such a thing!! But I do have the emotional support, and that is a huge help!!
i have never heard somone to refer to a single parent as one being ';true'; or ';untrue';
single parents are single parents. some have it a little harder, becuase they don't have the help of parents. sometimes, having the help of parents , or having to live with them, can be a problem in itself.
.....
I think what's she is saying is you're not the only parent because your parents help you.
But parents are grandparents. YOU are the parent. I used to hear rude comments like that all the time. Get's really annoying.
I live with my parents and it is a huge help, but the sperm donor (he isn't worthy of being called my son's father) isn't involved, making me a single parent.
You are a single parent, Jamie's father isn't involved. Your friend is just misinformed (no offense to them at all!) Since your friend isn't a parent, they don't understand how tough it is being a single parent and what that actually means.
Yes, we live with our parents, and they help us out, but they don't get up all hours of the night to feed our children and change their diapers (my mom does once in awhile to give me some sleep) but for the most part it's us, because our children are our responsibility.
Oh, and I know i've said it before but, Jamie is SO CUTE!
I take ';single'; mom as a mom who isn't involved with anyone, hence the single part. some are ignorant, let it roll of your shoulders, best luck
Even if the child's father was involved, if you two are not married, and you are single, that makes you a single parent. My mom watched my daughter for me when I went to Iraq for a year, and when I came back, I was still a single parent. Some women are just blessed to have other people in their lives to help with their children and not have to do everything on their own. Not everyone is that blessed. So I say bump what your friend says. Statements like that are ignorant.
Wow, talk about someone having a chip on her shoulder (not you, your friend). I'm sure your parents aren't with you and your baby 24/7. She was probably looking to be the one with the hardest time, some people need to have it worse than others.
I'm not a single Mom, but I would say you are a Single Mother if you don't have a husband. Even if the Father is an ex and still involved with taking the child on weekends, etc. Your still a single mom. Parent's helping out doesn't count. They are the parents to the child.
single parent is when your baby's father is not living with you or like you said never hurd of him.
if you live on your own with your kids then you are a single mother don't listen to what your friend says
They replied with ';oh, you aren't a TRUE single mom since your parents help.';
I was under the impression ';single parent'; meant the other responsible (or not so responsible, as I haven't even heard from him! anyway...) party was NOT INVOLVED. Which Jamie's father is not.

The Bible of today has some small errors (depending on your version, but that is another discussion), but for the most part has been preserved amazingly. The errors do not affect any major doctrine, and consist mainly of numbers and such. No other document has been confirmed to the degree that the Bible has with the number of manuscripts that it has. E.g. Up to 1947, the oldest Old Testament manuscript was from the 900's AD. In 1947 we found the Dead Sea Scrolls from ~150 BC. The lack of errors between it and the 900 AD manuscripts was amazing.
So the short answer to your question is 'no', we don't believe that every last word in our English Bibles are uncorrupted, or at least most of us don't.
The long answer to your question leads you to sift through the tremendous amount of manuscript evidence and makes you conclude that while our Bibles aren't word for word perfect, they are very, very close and may be relied upon to be accurate.Christians do you believe every single word of you bible is true and uncorrupted by the hands of men?
I don't believe that every single word is inspired by God in the Holy Bible. I do believe in thought inspiration. God spoke to his servants through visions and dreams and they penned down as best as they could in human language those things that God revealed to them.
Sometimes we tend to mis understand the real intent of the one who received the inspiration. Human language albeit wonderful but it is also very complex.

Is it true....Being single ,surrounded by friends and enjoying a hectic social life is the best phase of life?
Yes,true up to certain age limit.It can not be true for people of all ages.People ,who do not marry up to the age of 33+ n try to enjoy the life ,may feel lonely after the party is over.
So,enjoy up to a certain age n after that get married n have a home not house.Is it true....Being single ,surrounded by friends and enjoying a hectic social life is the best phase of life?
to a certain point, depends how old u are, i mean, when i look at older women living the youngies life, i think thats sad.
no offence to the older women or men.
at a certain age, u start to think about relationships, mortgage, money, partner, kids,
at a young age, its the besttttttttt...
but bein in yout mid 20s+ has its ups too.Is it true....Being single ,surrounded by friends and enjoying a hectic social life is the best phase of life?
I don't know,but I can't say because I have never been in a relationship..I won't be happy until I have some type of relationship,even if it lasts a month...I've been single all my life..I've dated but never been committed...well I was,just not the other guy.
.Most certainly.A happy carefree life is the envy of most people.Nor is age a barrier.You're as young as you feel. Time enough to experience the tribulations,trials and worries/joys of life when/if you're ready to settle down
Its agood phase of life, but normally short duration.
ya for me it is...being tensed for small small things and then asking friends for help or just motivation from them
BEST of BEST days
Be blessed and happy single or married.
Think it's true only... Bcz I am doing the same....
Yes.
It's true. Can we swap?
yes in a way!:))
yea,
tell me about it...!!

Was this statement true? Single, 35-40 & Marriage Chances?
';A single, 35 to 40-year-old woman had a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than getting married.';
This statement was associated with a research study.Was this statement true? Single, 35-40 %26amp; Marriage Chances?
newsweek recently did a cover story about how this myth is completely untrue and kind-of apologized for printing that misinformation back in the day.Was this statement true? Single, 35-40 %26amp; Marriage Chances?
Susan Faludi addressed this in her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women.
Unfortunately I don't remember her rather long explanation, but it had something to do with the formula the researchers used: it worked under the assumption that women married men 15-20 years OLDER, and most of the 55-60 year old men at the time were married. The research was totally flawed, but they slapped the headline all over Newsweek.
Actually, the book is wonderful at dispelling myths and addressing WHY people have the urge to scare women into thinking something in their lives is wrong due to feminism.
Depends on the woman, depends on the man.
Some men prefer an 18 year old who likes the $100 camera because it's pink over the 40 year old who likes the $1,000 camera because it's a good quality item.
Some rather have the more practical woman, even if she has a few wrinkles here and there.
If you know the quote, you know the story. Newsweek apologized for the statement, pure hyperbole, 20 years after publishing the article.

Marriage is dropping in general. Not getting married does not necessarily mean beeing lonely.
Sounds like a false statement, because women in that age bracket are always getting married, and are more liable to get married then younger women.
According to a study done of college-educated single women in 1986 (that's the most recent one I have), 30-year-olds have a 58% to 66% chance of marrying, 35-year-olds have a 32% to 41% chance, and 40-year-olds have a 17% to 23% chance. The survey you're thinking of was taken using a sample of 60,000 households, while the one I'm citing used 13.4 million households.
EDIT: I should probably add that 70% of women polled the year before believed their lives would still be ';happy and complete'; even if they were unmarried. It went up to 90% four years later.
Probably true, unless the woman is hot, sexy and sexual, you know all the things men want.

What exhaust system is better? A large single or true duals with an X crossover?
True duals sound pretty good, but an X pipe is better for performance. Single is crap.What exhaust system is better? A large single or true duals with an X crossover?
It depends on what you are looking for Joel the large single out will give you flow if that is what you wish to achieve if you are seeking good mello sound with rumble duals with flowmaster or dynomax is best also in regard to the X or H pipe depending on manufacturer is inplace to equal out back pressure from each bank of your engine I hope my answer has helped but if i knew what the exhaust was intended for I could give a more specific answer.What exhaust system is better? A large single or true duals with an X crossover?
Stay away from Y, X, and H pipes you'll get unecessary back pressure and it kills the real sound of your block. Straight out of the headers bolt on (don't weld) seperate mufflers with short or no pipe outlets. The longer the pipes the more vibration and wasted flow you get.

Airforcedotcom says single enlisted airmen get their own room, but people have said this isnt true? Input?
Most bases, yes you do get your own room. But you usually have a suitemate.
You usually have a bathroom seperating two dorm rooms. And you both share the bathroom.
Bear in mind you are in the military, and they can change the rules of the game half way through.Airforcedotcom says single enlisted airmen get their own room, but people have said this isnt true? Input?
The Air Force is trying to give everyone thier own room.
But that doesn't mean everyone gets thier own room yet.
On bases with alot of E-1's and E-2's
You are gonna have people sharing rooms.

My 2005 dodge durango has single exhaust, what do I need to do, to convert it to true duel exhaust?
2005 Dodge Durango 4.7L STMy 2005 dodge durango has single exhaust, what do I need to do, to convert it to true duel exhaust?
its really expensive to do this, you need two cats for it and a a really good experienced shop that can do the pipe work on it,can it be done.? yes,but its not really going to help it that much on power or performance,and it may hurt your actual gas mileage that your getting on it now,good luck.My 2005 dodge durango has single exhaust, what do I need to do, to convert it to true duel exhaust?
your welcome.
you can not on this vehicle unfortunately. several reasons come to mind but i will only share a few. the placement of the fuel tank on this vehicle prohibit having true duals, also you can not legally remove a catalytic converter on a vehicle which would have to be done to have true duals. yes you can get replacement catalytic converters and put on but you are still going to have to deal with the o2 sensors and the emissions. it also depends on what state you live in and if you have emissions checks
Why waste money on little things, save that money and go on vacation enjoy life, To me vechiles are temporary in the next few years your Durango will have a New Owner, It kind of recycle like they say dont treat her bad because she might be my in the few years! , That is just my opinion,
You have to run 2 exhaust pipes from both sides of the engine block, attached to the headers. But to do this legally you need to also install a second cat, which I don't know if there is space for on the under carriage of that car
Just take it to a shop they can install a cat back system for you.

Is is true that women are single by choice and men are single by circumstance?
not at all, think of the ugly and pretty people on both sides. Ugly girls are by circumstance and pretty guys are by choice...Is is true that women are single by choice and men are single by circumstance?
The reverse is also true.Is is true that women are single by choice and men are single by circumstance?
not at all,
for both single is by circumstance
if these men and women are straight, then the answer is yes.
I think that is correct!
in my experience, yeah. and it sucks.

They're everywhere if you keep your eyes open.
I'm right here, Baby!
you want a cali girl :]]
Who taught you how to write?...Wait a minute!...Were you educated in Florida?...;)
IN CALI !!!!
I think the most important part of finding a (the right) woman is make sure you seek, choose, and approach the right one. Before you kiss her or touch her, you need to be able to see clearly (in a woman's eyes) if she is honest, intelligent, sexy, funny or dumb, easy, dishonest and empty. You guys gotta be able to see past the miniskirt, then you can really choose. Simple.
You will find them here and there every now and then.
You keep spelling/writing like that and they wouldn't come around bud!

Is it true you can't be bit by a single fire ant?
I've heard that a fire ant by itself won't bite because one fire ant gives the order to bite while all the others bite.Is it true you can't be bit by a single fire ant?
Sure you can. It's just that if there is one fire ant near you, there are probably hundreds or thousands. So if you are in a position to be bitten by a single ant, you are probably in a position to bitten by many.Is it true you can't be bit by a single fire ant?
what?? itll bite you! its a fire ant and if they can bite all together that means they can bite sepratley. if what you say is true, then it might not bite, but u CAN get bit by a single fire ant
whether 1, 2, 10, 200, the workers will sting to protect the colony.
drones,and queens don't sting.

Is it true, like Mr. Obama said, that there is ';not a single pet project... not a single earmark.';?
Is it correct or was it political grandstanding?Is it true, like Mr. Obama said, that there is ';not a single pet project... not a single earmark.';?
It is true he really said that. I think he thinks the American people are a bunch of drones, thanks in part to all the drones that voted for him without researching his politics. Thanks America!Is it true, like Mr. Obama said, that there is ';not a single pet project... not a single earmark.';?
Well I think pet projects are in the eye of the beholder. Repairing the levees along the Mississippi River seems real important to the folks who live there, but for someone that would never be flooded by them I guess the project could be considered as a pet project.
I believe I just read that there are no earmarks though.
Of course there are pet projects in there. Calling it by a different name doesn't make it different. Also, noticibly vague, is the number of jobs that ';will be either created or saved';.
He is ';misspeaking'; because the stimulus is mostly filled with pet projects.
Democrats don't consider their agenda as pet projects..... the same as Republicans. They are all a bunch of liars.

There are always pet projects in a bill, it's what you call it that changes over time.

Real men aren't afraid to go for what they want? Regardless of whether a girl is single or not? True?
So I'm a 20 year old guy...I was just talking to a female friend of mine. She randomly started talking about girls with boyfriends and other guys asking her out. And I said, ';Yeah well, real men aren't afraid to go for what they want :)';
And she actually replied, ';ooooh, that just sounded really hot.';
So wait. Is that mentality really hot? I just randomly said it hah.Real men aren't afraid to go for what they want? Regardless of whether a girl is single or not? True?
no, not really true. Guess it depends on the girl/guy but if i guy doesn't go after a girl when that girl is with someone...could be because they have respect for that girl and her relationship. If they really care they wouldn't push or put that person in a situation where they're cheating or pushed to choose. It isn't right.Real men aren't afraid to go for what they want? Regardless of whether a girl is single or not? True?
No. It's not. Because a REAL man should be willing to respect any relationship a girl he has (and even does not have) an interest in is in. She was just probably trying to flirt with you.
haha, I'm an 18 year old girl.
And I agree with what your friend told you.
If you said it randomly, all the better. hahaha
Yea, it is hot!! I love a guy that takes charge, like if you like me then come get me!! I wish more men would do that!

Is it true that the majority of gay ppl spend their lives without even a single relationship ?
It depends.Is it true that the majority of gay ppl spend their lives without even a single relationship ?
In my personal experience the answer is no. Most gay people have a couple of serious relationships between 21 and retirement...just like straight people.
My partner (of 18 years) is -- by definition -- my most serious relationship...we own property together and would be married if the law allowed it...but we aren't always together physically (mostly because of our jobs) and we also own property separately from each other. I see very little difference between our behavior (as a couple) and that of straight couples of similar class and background.
To your point, though: I think life is much, much tougher for the average young gay person than it is for the average young straight person: before adulthood the world hands straight kids dozens of practice opportunities to meet %26amp; socialize every day; gays rarely get any. They are forced to make do with a square peg for a round hole (bad pun intended)...feeling alone and weird...until adulthood when they can group together and recapture the youth they missed growing up in the hell of Straighttown USA.Is it true that the majority of gay ppl spend their lives without even a single relationship ?
it wouldn't surprise me if there are many people that never get into a relationship because they can not accept themselves.
i have never been in a real relationship but it is not because i can not accept myself. i have always been very anti-social and i just never really put myself out there. some people have a mental break down if they are not pair bonded for 1 day. it doesn't bother me so i guess i just have no overwhelming drive to jump into random relationships.
Just like with heterosexuals, it depends on the individual person.
It depends on what you call a relationship. Do you mean exclusive dating, married, or mutual bed buddy? What about friendships? Those are all relationships as well.
As for me, %26amp; 100% of the people I know who are gay, the answer is NO. Just like the answer for most straight people would be no as well.
EDIT:
Since you define living togetther with someone as a relationship, then the answer to your question is still NO. Thanks for the clarification.
No, that would be the majority of Catholic clergy.
No. Gay people (including LGBT as well) are, first and foremost, human beings. And all human beings need to love and be loved.
God no! I'd say they have multiple relationships! Tens of thousands of them! Millions even!
Are we through with stereotypes yet?
Edit....
I'm sorry. Is this supposed to be a serious question?
If it is, then in my experience, then the answer would be, no. Most of the gay guys I know have had, or are having long-term relationships.
Not even slightly remotely true. At all.
No.
No.
Nope. Been with my partner for nearly 24 years.
Nope.
No
Only the sad ones
can your question be anymore stupid? wtf....
In my personal experience the answer is no. Most gay people have a couple of serious relationships between 21 and retirement...just like straight people.
My partner (of 18 years) is -- by definition -- my most serious relationship...we own property together and would be married if the law allowed it...but we aren't always together physically (mostly because of our jobs) and we also own property separately from each other. I see very little difference between our behavior (as a couple) and that of straight couples of similar class and background.

Is it true that you can read every single txt msg i send?
some one told me that i can go on verizonwireless.com and read every txt msg i send and i can even see every single picture i sent also. is that true?Is it true that you can read every single txt msg i send?
yea you have to have a password and things though its pretty time consumingIs it true that you can read every single txt msg i send?
No you can't read them,but if you have access to your account you can tell how many texts you've sent,who they were sent to,and what time they were sent at.
yea honey sorry
Ya.....asd;askd;
every wireless company keeps track of your history;
every pic u send, every text u send, every text you GET.
it is all in the site's history, but for nobody else's eyes except if it were a legal case, and if you were talking in a sexual matter and you are under the age of 18, or if you were sending sexual pictures, then it would be a crime,
yes, it is true

Is it fair to say there can never be a single true knowledge, merely the aggregate of uncountable different ..
... viewpoints?Is it fair to say there can never be a single true knowledge, merely the aggregate of uncountable different ..
How can there be a single true knowledge, when there is so many types of knowledge out there? The two basics is the knowledge of science, and the knowledge of religion. Can there only be one? I do not think so. Knowledge in science can be theories and laws, and knowledge in religion is a spiritual factor (out of all the different types, only one is right). They coincide. Just because you have science, doesn't mean you can't have religion.
Now if you are asking if it is fair to say there can never be a single true knowledge of one type, and just different viewpoints, I would have to disagree. There is one true knowledge, however there are many ways to view that knowledge. We are all different beings with different backgrounds and ways of looking at things. We are all looking at the same thing, but not with the exact same circumstances, beliefs...etc. Am I making sense? I hope so.Is it fair to say there can never be a single true knowledge, merely the aggregate of uncountable different ..
If it is, then your asking this question is moot, since you can never have true knowledge of the answer, one way or the other.
Is is true knowledge to say that 2+2=4? Or is the answer ';4'; just one viewpoint out of many? Ah, postmodernism....
WOW excellent question, it almost went over my head....I think that if one could acheive a single true knowledge, that would make them a God....so although humans strive for it, I doubt we will ever get it....but seeing as many viewpoints as possible makes us closer to the true knowledge....thanks for the excellent question to make me ponder!
yes it is fair to say that. Mostly due to the fact that in many different cultures the same observation could have been encountered from different viewing angles. Like counting theories, they all exist, they all abide the same principles, but yet they function differently.
the truth is truth no matter if u know it or not, and 2 heads are better than one, so getting together and talking about things to figured them out is great, u might get to the truth faster, but even if u never get to the true knowledge, ur seeking, its still there. its like, god or no god...... it may take a life time, but when u die, u will see the truth.
The positive thing is that those individuals truths used to be thought of as relativism. As a matter of fact, viewpoint is not only collaterally linked to concept of truth, it's actually what helps us define what the definition of truth is.

Christians: Is a true christian, one who believes in jesus and never ever commits a single sin?
Most often I hear christians say ';that person was not a true christian'; refering to someone they have never met before, and usually because of some sin they commited eg the inquisition.
Or do you believe that there are many sins exclude one from possibly being a true believer, while there are many sins you can commit and remain a true believer??Christians: Is a true christian, one who believes in jesus and never ever commits a single sin?
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
It is by faith we say we are made new but we have not literally died and been made new but now having been born again through faith in Jesus Christ we should not become servents of sin.Christians: Is a true christian, one who believes in jesus and never ever commits a single sin?
The reason we can be heard to say that a person is not a true Christian is usually the evidence of their faith comes out in one way or another. A person who goes about doing others harm, who is greedy and steals and whatever sin you want to name can generally be pointed out as not a Christian.
Whatever you think on the inside is always obvious to others on the outside, eventually.
No! That's not what they are saying. One of the best example I give to those doubting Thomases is the one of the Homosexual who contends and explains away the fact that God detests the sin of homosexuality. And in doing so, he denies God in that God commands us not to engage in the sin of homosexuality. What I don't understand is when other Christians try to support such a sin that God is so adamantly against. Do they realize that when you show support of a sin, that it's much the same a sinning also..
It's one thing to commit a sin or sins of a different color in life as we grow. It's quite another to refuse to accept God command and explain them away because mankind tries to accept them in their culture.,And to continue to live in that sin is the same as committing blaspheme and denying God and his commands.
Hi,
I agree with your statement. The ';that person was not a true christian'; thing is not a valid argument.
We do not know if anybody is a true christian. So that thing is not a careful respond.
The better thing to say is ';the person does not act like a christian in this instance.';
In the case of inquisition, we should show that it is incoherent with christianity to do that. God is the one who converts through the Gospel. We are called to die for our faith not to kill to make convert.
Once this is done, we can say that a person was hypocrite on a particular instance. When I lie, I am hypocrite to say I am christian.
In this way our faith is not deny. We only prove that Christian are sinners like non-christian, that christianity is not about what I do or what others christians do, but about what Jesus did: giving his life for sinners.
Regards,
Emmanuel
The criteria of who is an 'authentic' Christian or not lies in their faith in Jesus Christ or lack thereof, and is not for us to judge. Those who do judge, as you have so aptly noticed, have crossed the boundary of biblical instruction to the contrary. As many of the other answerer's have already correctly noted, we all sin and continue to do so until we die, hopefully less and less as we grow. Thanks for asking neighbor.
A Christian is one who is fighting the WAR AGAINST ALL SIN. And a Christian is one who is LEARNING about sin -- what it is, what it does and how to overcome it. A Christian repents of sin (confesses it to God and then strives to not repeat it).
And as you know, in war, there are battles won and battles lost. ';If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness'; (1 John 1:9 - NKJ).
Proverbs 24:16 NKJ
For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
A Christian (though he may sin from time to time) is one who continues to get back to the fighting.
BTW, The Inquisition was most certainly NOT a Christian action, and was most serious sin AGAINST Christians and God.
.
No one can stop sinning. If we could, we'd be God. Paul, the greatest Christian apologist of his time admitted that he couldn't stop sinning no matter how hard he tried.
Many talk the talk of Christianity but the bible says you will know them by their fruits. If people live in accord with ';love the Lord your God ...'; and ';love your neighbor as yourself'; then it's a pretty good bet they are ';true'; Christians.
Because we are of flesh, we will stumble and sin, even after being saved. The thing is to not do the same sin over and over again. If I mess up, I get back up, and ask forgiveness and move on, and try my best to not sin again. All Christians believe in Jesus, even the hypocritical ones. The hypocritical ones though are still clinging to their earthly desires to some extent. Sorry can't have your cake and eat it too. either you give up your earthly life to Jesus or you don't. We are of flesh though and no one is perfect, Jesus was the only perfect body to walk this earth, this being because he was of God and in sense was God himself.
A true Christian is a person who has had all their sins forgiven, their past sins and also their future sins.
But this does not mean that we can sin as much as we like and God will forgive us anyway,
Oh No,
If a person really has repented
and turned to the Lord Jesus Christ
and has experienced the New Birth
then even though they will sin,
because we sin daily in word, thought and deed,
they know that the Lord died for their sins and will forgive them,
if they confess their sins before Him in humble prayers.
What about your sins?
Have you been forgiven and do you know where you will go when you die?
The bible says for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god. Now as soon as we accept jesus into our hearts is when we are forgiven of the sins (born again) (saved) The bible also says when we sin that he is a merciful god and will forgive you now does this mean we go out and kill someone and ask for forgiveness and keep committing the same sin again no because Romans says Shall we continue to live in sin? certainly not
A true Christian is one that is born-again. Jesus said you must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Some people have been born into a Christian family, but have not experienced Jesus for themselves. They have grown up going to church where they learned Christian doctrine. But knowing doctrine and sitting in a pew does not a Christian make. Jesus said You MUST be born again.
Do Christians sin? Yes, and they can be forgiven.
A Christian must believe in Jesus, be born again, and from there be perservering in their Christian walk by being baptized in water and the Spirit. Then reading and praying for one hour a day. ';Could you not wait with me one hour? Jesus said.
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Prov 24:16
The sincere follower of Christ may fall several times, but shall rise right back up into their sincerity toward God; but it is the wicked who are insincere, and they fall into mischief.
let, (cause or make), every human to be a liar, and God be true- romans
once sin has been forgiven, there is no more forgiveness of sin- hebrews
no liars will enter into the kingdom of God- revelations
there is none righteous, no not one- romans
evil men only wax or grow worse
Jesus said you must repent (change your ways) and believe the gospel (New Testament).
A Christian will still sin, but God punishes Christians when they do sin. Christians do not have a license to sin. (1 Corinthians 11:32 %26amp; Hebrews 12:5-11)
Jesus said you will know Christians by their fruits. Someone who is for abortion would not be a Christian because they would be supporting killing another human being.
The Bible says if you say you have no sin, you make God a liar. We all sin many times. The point is that Jesus paid the price for our sins, and we are forgiven. Being a believer means believing. Actions follow beliefs, so the more you trust Jesus, the less you will fall into temptation and sin.
Yours in Christ, Nick
Well, a TRUE CHRISTIAN, is a Person who believes and Obeys the word of God.
Everyone is a sinner. True Christians try their best to follow Jesus. .. NoBody's persfect!
Everyone sins. Its impossible not to. bottaren'tne.
People who arent true christians are people who say theycompletelyn christ but completley ignore him during the day. They say they believe in God but almost leave him at home during the day time.
When they say that someone is not a ';True Christian';, they are referring to everyone that doesn't believe EXACTLY like they do. It's a Christian loophole and completely pathetic.
The only human who did not sin was Jesus. The only reason he did not sin is because he is God manifested in human form.
there is a difference between living in sin and occasionally sinning.
Any thing not pleasing to God is sin.
But God is the Judge.
I don't think that there is anybody perfect on Earth.
Impossible not to sin but we can be cleaned by Jesus Christ for he died for us, We are born with sin.
God Bless You, James W
Sin is sin....period. And everyone does it.
no sin is too great...you are sorely misinformed
Jesus said 'judge not lest you be judged'
we are all sinners.
I think you will see in 1 John how to tell if one is truly saved. I have met many who believe themselves Christians, yet do not have a clue what that truly means. I have known and still know some who are committed Christians, and yet have not discovered the true love of Christ, because how they judge or curse others by God. Can we say these are not true Christians? Maybe, yet we are not to judge. Myself, I have used this very same term. Was it an accurate description? I believe so, for what I saw or read did not strike me as someone living for Christ, but themselves. Maybe a better term would be a true understanding Christian. Cause though I have great love for these and others. It pains me to see them issue forth judgment and condemnation on those who have hurt them or someone they care for. It hurts all of us to hear or see that same thing from those who say they are Christian yet do not act as though they have truly met Christ. Though we do not know their heart as Gods does, we can know their fruit as Christ taught us. Just because we are Christian, does not mean we will never sin again. We are after all sinners and all fall short of the glory of God. What it does mean is if we are truly committed to becoming Christian (meaning becoming Christ like), then we do not seek out sin, when we do sin we repent of it, and make amends to those we may have hurt. It means we commit our life to following Christ, and live our lives accordingly. If one calls themselves Christian, and only lives that way on Sundays they have missed the point. Worse yet they make all of us look bad, and are missing the boat. Being Christian, must be more then something to use to help us feel better about ourselves, or gain us recognition, It must be more then something we use as a weapon. It should and must be a life given to Christ, to share and shine His light into a dark and painful world. We cannot do that, if we are creating more pain by being judgmental, or cursing those who hurt us, or not acting Christian when they claim to be. We must be an example as our Lord was and example. An example of love and commitment to the Father. Fore we cannot live this life without His great love, mercy, and strength, which we can only receive when we keep our hearts, minds, and souls upon Him.
A Christian is a vague term people would call followers of Christ first used at Antioch.
Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
If a Christian believes to have no sin the truth is not in them.
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
In the general sense of the term anyone can say they are a Christian. However when you hear the term ';real Christian'; or something similar to that, they are generally referring to someone who is saved in the sense that they will go to heaven.
Jesus Christ states very clearly what is neccecary for this.
Exodus 3:14-15
God said to Moses:
I am the eternal God. So tell them that the LORD, whose name is '; I Am,'; has sent you. This is my name forever, and it is the name that people must use from now on.
(CEV)
John 8:58
Jesus answered, ';I tell you for certain that even before Abraham was, I was, and I am.';
(CEV)
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Another requirement of being a ';real Christian'; would be this
1 John 4:15-18
15God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That's how we stay one with God 16and are sure that God loves us.
God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us. 17If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment. 18A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love.
(CEV)
A ';real Christian'; must believe Jesus is literally the Son of God, they must also believe God is Love. And they must have perfect Love. Perfect love is defined as having no fear of judgment because you have faith Jesus will save you, and only Jesus alone is required for Salvation and is the only way to salvation. They must also believe Jesus was ressurected from the dead and is the LORD God.
Acts 4:12
Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.
(CEV)
Romans 10:8-17
8All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, ';The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.'; And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9So you
will be saved, if you honestly say, ';Jesus is Lord,'; and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10God will accept you and save you, if you truly
believe this and tell it to others.
11The Scriptures say that no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to
everyone who asks for his help. 13All who call out to the Lord will be saved.
14How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them? 15And how can
anyone tell them without being sent by the Lord? The Scriptures say it is a beautiful sight to see even the feet of someone coming to preach the good news. 16Yet not everyone
has believed the message. For example, the prophet Isaiah asked, ';Lord, has anyone believed what we said?';
17No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.
(CEV)
These are pretty much the main requirements, their is a few more but for the most part if a person has these all the others must follow.
The term Christian as used in the bible could be referred to anyone who listens and tries to apply any teachings of Christ. However the term Christian as we use it today has nothing to do with this and generally refers to being saved or not. I will summarize the requirements of being a Christian and you can clearly see why by scrolling up and reading the scriptures I have supplied these are only a few but their is much much more.
1)Believe God is love.
2)Believe Jesus is literally the son of God which means God came to Earth as a human.
3)Believe Faith is the only true requirement to go to heaven and only Jesus can save.
4)Believe Jesus died for everyone on the cross and then was ressurrected, so that everyone who wishes to be saved can be saved.hair fallicle

In the case of inquisition, we should show that it is incoherent with christianity to do that. God is the one who converts through the Gospel. We are called to die for our faith not to kill to make convert.
Once this is done, we can say that a person was hypocrite on a particular instance. When I lie, I am hypocrite to say I am christian.
In this way our faith is not deny. We only prove that Christian are sinners like non-christian, that christianity is not about what I do or what others christians do, but about what Jesus did: giving his life for sinners.
Regards,
Emmanuel
The criteria of who is an 'authentic' Christian or not lies in their faith in Jesus Christ or lack thereof, and is not for us to judge. Those who do judge, as you have so aptly noticed, have crossed the boundary of biblical instruction to the contrary. As many of the other answerer's have already correctly noted, we all sin and continue to do so until we die, hopefully less and less as we grow. Thanks for asking neighbor.
A Christian is one who is fighting the WAR AGAINST ALL SIN. And a Christian is one who is LEARNING about sin -- what it is, what it does and how to overcome it. A Christian repents of sin (confesses it to God and then strives to not repeat it).
And as you know, in war, there are battles won and battles lost. ';If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness'; (1 John 1:9 - NKJ).
Proverbs 24:16 NKJ
For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
A Christian (though he may sin from time to time) is one who continues to get back to the fighting.
BTW, The Inquisition was most certainly NOT a Christian action, and was most serious sin AGAINST Christians and God.
.
No one can stop sinning. If we could, we'd be God. Paul, the greatest Christian apologist of his time admitted that he couldn't stop sinning no matter how hard he tried.
Many talk the talk of Christianity but the bible says you will know them by their fruits. If people live in accord with ';love the Lord your God ...'; and ';love your neighbor as yourself'; then it's a pretty good bet they are ';true'; Christians.
Because we are of flesh, we will stumble and sin, even after being saved. The thing is to not do the same sin over and over again. If I mess up, I get back up, and ask forgiveness and move on, and try my best to not sin again. All Christians believe in Jesus, even the hypocritical ones. The hypocritical ones though are still clinging to their earthly desires to some extent. Sorry can't have your cake and eat it too. either you give up your earthly life to Jesus or you don't. We are of flesh though and no one is perfect, Jesus was the only perfect body to walk this earth, this being because he was of God and in sense was God himself.
A true Christian is a person who has had all their sins forgiven, their past sins and also their future sins.
But this does not mean that we can sin as much as we like and God will forgive us anyway,
Oh No,
If a person really has repented
and turned to the Lord Jesus Christ
and has experienced the New Birth
then even though they will sin,
because we sin daily in word, thought and deed,
they know that the Lord died for their sins and will forgive them,
if they confess their sins before Him in humble prayers.
What about your sins?
Have you been forgiven and do you know where you will go when you die?
The bible says for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god. Now as soon as we accept jesus into our hearts is when we are forgiven of the sins (born again) (saved) The bible also says when we sin that he is a merciful god and will forgive you now does this mean we go out and kill someone and ask for forgiveness and keep committing the same sin again no because Romans says Shall we continue to live in sin? certainly not
A true Christian is one that is born-again. Jesus said you must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Some people have been born into a Christian family, but have not experienced Jesus for themselves. They have grown up going to church where they learned Christian doctrine. But knowing doctrine and sitting in a pew does not a Christian make. Jesus said You MUST be born again.
Do Christians sin? Yes, and they can be forgiven.
A Christian must believe in Jesus, be born again, and from there be perservering in their Christian walk by being baptized in water and the Spirit. Then reading and praying for one hour a day. ';Could you not wait with me one hour? Jesus said.
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Prov 24:16
The sincere follower of Christ may fall several times, but shall rise right back up into their sincerity toward God; but it is the wicked who are insincere, and they fall into mischief.
let, (cause or make), every human to be a liar, and God be true- romans
once sin has been forgiven, there is no more forgiveness of sin- hebrews
no liars will enter into the kingdom of God- revelations
there is none righteous, no not one- romans
evil men only wax or grow worse
Jesus said you must repent (change your ways) and believe the gospel (New Testament).
A Christian will still sin, but God punishes Christians when they do sin. Christians do not have a license to sin. (1 Corinthians 11:32 %26amp; Hebrews 12:5-11)
Jesus said you will know Christians by their fruits. Someone who is for abortion would not be a Christian because they would be supporting killing another human being.
The Bible says if you say you have no sin, you make God a liar. We all sin many times. The point is that Jesus paid the price for our sins, and we are forgiven. Being a believer means believing. Actions follow beliefs, so the more you trust Jesus, the less you will fall into temptation and sin.
Yours in Christ, Nick
Well, a TRUE CHRISTIAN, is a Person who believes and Obeys the word of God.
Everyone is a sinner. True Christians try their best to follow Jesus. .. NoBody's persfect!
Everyone sins. Its impossible not to. bottaren'tne.
People who arent true christians are people who say theycompletelyn christ but completley ignore him during the day. They say they believe in God but almost leave him at home during the day time.
When they say that someone is not a ';True Christian';, they are referring to everyone that doesn't believe EXACTLY like they do. It's a Christian loophole and completely pathetic.
The only human who did not sin was Jesus. The only reason he did not sin is because he is God manifested in human form.
there is a difference between living in sin and occasionally sinning.
Any thing not pleasing to God is sin.
But God is the Judge.
I don't think that there is anybody perfect on Earth.
Impossible not to sin but we can be cleaned by Jesus Christ for he died for us, We are born with sin.
God Bless You, James W
Sin is sin....period. And everyone does it.
no sin is too great...you are sorely misinformed
Jesus said 'judge not lest you be judged'
we are all sinners.
I think you will see in 1 John how to tell if one is truly saved. I have met many who believe themselves Christians, yet do not have a clue what that truly means. I have known and still know some who are committed Christians, and yet have not discovered the true love of Christ, because how they judge or curse others by God. Can we say these are not true Christians? Maybe, yet we are not to judge. Myself, I have used this very same term. Was it an accurate description? I believe so, for what I saw or read did not strike me as someone living for Christ, but themselves. Maybe a better term would be a true understanding Christian. Cause though I have great love for these and others. It pains me to see them issue forth judgment and condemnation on those who have hurt them or someone they care for. It hurts all of us to hear or see that same thing from those who say they are Christian yet do not act as though they have truly met Christ. Though we do not know their heart as Gods does, we can know their fruit as Christ taught us. Just because we are Christian, does not mean we will never sin again. We are after all sinners and all fall short of the glory of God. What it does mean is if we are truly committed to becoming Christian (meaning becoming Christ like), then we do not seek out sin, when we do sin we repent of it, and make amends to those we may have hurt. It means we commit our life to following Christ, and live our lives accordingly. If one calls themselves Christian, and only lives that way on Sundays they have missed the point. Worse yet they make all of us look bad, and are missing the boat. Being Christian, must be more then something to use to help us feel better about ourselves, or gain us recognition, It must be more then something we use as a weapon. It should and must be a life given to Christ, to share and shine His light into a dark and painful world. We cannot do that, if we are creating more pain by being judgmental, or cursing those who hurt us, or not acting Christian when they claim to be. We must be an example as our Lord was and example. An example of love and commitment to the Father. Fore we cannot live this life without His great love, mercy, and strength, which we can only receive when we keep our hearts, minds, and souls upon Him.
A Christian is a vague term people would call followers of Christ first used at Antioch.
Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
If a Christian believes to have no sin the truth is not in them.
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
In the general sense of the term anyone can say they are a Christian. However when you hear the term ';real Christian'; or something similar to that, they are generally referring to someone who is saved in the sense that they will go to heaven.
Jesus Christ states very clearly what is neccecary for this.
Exodus 3:14-15
God said to Moses:
I am the eternal God. So tell them that the LORD, whose name is '; I Am,'; has sent you. This is my name forever, and it is the name that people must use from now on.
(CEV)
John 8:58
Jesus answered, ';I tell you for certain that even before Abraham was, I was, and I am.';
(CEV)
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Another requirement of being a ';real Christian'; would be this
1 John 4:15-18
15God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That's how we stay one with God 16and are sure that God loves us.
God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us. 17If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment. 18A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love.
(CEV)
A ';real Christian'; must believe Jesus is literally the Son of God, they must also believe God is Love. And they must have perfect Love. Perfect love is defined as having no fear of judgment because you have faith Jesus will save you, and only Jesus alone is required for Salvation and is the only way to salvation. They must also believe Jesus was ressurected from the dead and is the LORD God.
Acts 4:12
Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.
(CEV)
Romans 10:8-17
8All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, ';The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.'; And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9So you
will be saved, if you honestly say, ';Jesus is Lord,'; and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10God will accept you and save you, if you truly
believe this and tell it to others.
11The Scriptures say that no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to
everyone who asks for his help. 13All who call out to the Lord will be saved.
14How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them? 15And how can
anyone tell them without being sent by the Lord? The Scriptures say it is a beautiful sight to see even the feet of someone coming to preach the good news. 16Yet not everyone
has believed the message. For example, the prophet Isaiah asked, ';Lord, has anyone believed what we said?';
17No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.
(CEV)
These are pretty much the main requirements, their is a few more but for the most part if a person has these all the others must follow.
The term Christian as used in the bible could be referred to anyone who listens and tries to apply any teachings of Christ. However the term Christian as we use it today has nothing to do with this and generally refers to being saved or not. I will summarize the requirements of being a Christian and you can clearly see why by scrolling up and reading the scriptures I have supplied these are only a few but their is much much more.
1)Believe God is love.
2)Believe Jesus is literally the son of God which means God came to Earth as a human.
3)Believe Faith is the only true requirement to go to heaven and only Jesus can save.
4)Believe Jesus died for everyone on the cross and then was ressurrected, so that everyone who wishes to be saved can be saved.
(true or false) a single volcano can erupt lavas of different composition?
True - the lavas will always be of a slightly different compostion. There are main types of lava - acidic or basic and this depends mostly on the temperature at which the magam below the earths surface is heated and the type of rock that is below the Earth's surface. The heat determines which chemicals are melted from the rock below the earth's surface. My point is this: heating and rock type below a single volcano usually stays the same but we will almost certainly have slight differences in these two things such as chemical changes and mineralogy in rocks so volcanoes will produce lavas of different compositions but with only slight changes in composition

Is it true that Laurel & Hardy once, had a number one single?
My Dad insists that this happened. Of course years later,as the charts were not invented until about the 1950's onwardsIs it true that Laurel %26amp; Hardy once, had a number one single?
NO.
Laurel and Hardy had a hit called ';On the trail of the Lonesome Pine'; with The Avalon Boys and featured Chill Wills. It was on the United Artists label but only reached No2 in the British charts on 22nd November 1975.Is it true that Laurel %26amp; Hardy once, had a number one single?
On the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOXYWEB7L鈥?/a>
Yes Blue ridge mountains of Virginia - and it was about 1980!
It was the trail of the lonesome pine..

if there was one it woulb be the one from way out west

He didn't say that. he said, ';there could be one in a million, and it is too small population to be noticed at all.';The president of Iran said that there isn麓t a single homosexual in his country? Is it true?
It's true. There's no gay here. We believe in God. we believe sex is sth for marriage. we respect womwn so much but in the US people sleep around and women are objects in the hands of men people are obsessed with sex and having sex is the best feeling in their lifes.
Oh, God thanks we don't live among them
They're all queers over there they believe men for pleasure women for babies. Thats why all the women wear veils over their faces the men have no respect for them they are just a tool to have more babies.

Not even a single religion is true?
none of them has any convincing evidence to say they are true. all what religious people do is get carried away with emotions and provide verses from their religious books which are equally silly and badly outdated.
so when they themselves cant come up with any convincing truths, how can they tell others to believe them?Not even a single religion is true?
That is YOUR opinion or judgement, not the fact.
How do you know they are all fake? Do you have a belief?? Maybe not...
Don't judge others just because you don't know something. Knowledge isn't everything nor it's the absolute truth. For example, science is a belief to many including some Atheists %26amp; my Biology books states that ';there is no truth in science, because truth means uncheangeble, but since in science, there are thesis which do change, science cannot be the truth.';
I don't remember the name of some scientists our pastor mentioned, but he said that these scientists studied evolution and came up with a conclusion that there is more possibility that a Creator created all things rather than things just happened out of accident... BUT they still refuse to believe in God, even after they came up with this conclusion, because they just don't want to believe in God.Not even a single religion is true?
You are confusing ';religion'; with certain religions.
There are many religions that don't have scriptures, and don't believe a Higher Power passed any religion or scriptures down to us.
Not all religions even believe in a Higher Power, or an afterlife.
For example, look at Unitarian Universalism.
I personally believe all religions have things we can learn from, gems of wisdom we can glean from them, but that there are none that are 100% accurate on everything.
Nor do they have to be 100% accurate on everything to be valid.
Maybe you just need to expand your understanding of religion.
How are Daoism and Buddhism incorrect? They never said that God exists, and there is no dogma.
The teachings of Buddhism and Daoism are accepted by almost everyone but Nihilists, and they are very rare.
No religious books = no reason to disagree.
Also, these two religions do not proselytize, so there are no missionaries.
Hi,
The word ';religion' is used in many contexts, and when used in an absolute manner (like the terms 'always,' 'none,' 'never', etc.) we play a losing game. So, in this context, I will use spirituality versus religion. Spirituality is not a commodity that can be classified as ';true or false.'; It is a matter of faith and belief. The convincing evidence most people base their faith and belief on are what most call ';miracles.'; When you make ascertions that ';none of them has any convincing evidence to say they are true,'; you imply that you have researched all religions and are certain that none of them has convinced you that they are true. So your statement is not true. You would have had to research Christianity, Islamm, Hinduism, Chinese traditional religion, Buddhism, Primal-indigenous, African Traditional %26amp; Diasporic, Sikhism, Juche, Spiritism, Judaism, Baha'i, Jainism, Shinto, Cao Dai, Zoroastrianism, Tenrikyo, Neo-Paganism, Unitarian-Universalism, Restafarianism and Scientology. And in order to get a rounded education, you would have to research Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist. But at the end of the day, you are right. How can someone impose their beliefs and faith on others without their consent? They can't; people use their free will to believe or not to - have faith or not to. You have a choice - use it wisely! Best Wishes!
I told people I met about the Truth, Jesus because I believe in the entire word of God ,including these verses: 1cor.14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
No one has proved science to me either, so religion not being proven isn't too big of a deal to me.
At least religion stays consistent for longer....Science is always changing, usually pretty dramatically. However, I'm expected to just believe what studies suggest to me....
I just choose to not let it bother me. To each his own. It's not for me, but that doesn't mean that people who like preaching/teaching their religion shouldn't be allowed to...
Anyway, if people were only allowed to talk about what is real (with proof) then we would never come up with new ideas (^_^)
So what's your point, other than repeating what has been posted on this site about a zillion times? I GET IT...you don't believe in religion. Great...so what?
Hey, i don't believe in religion either, but I respect that some people do. Live and let live. If that is what gives them comfort in life, so be it. As long as they're willing to let me go my own way, I'm certainly willing to let them go their own way, and I don't need to either berate or bait them....
Most religious people are fanatics of what they believe. Fortunately, we live in a non-Muslim world that we can have some degree of freedom. Still, Christians fight hard to impose they made up morality on the rest of the non-religious population...
And I'm supposed to believe for a second that you've given due consideration to every religion out there. including reading all their literature? Not that it matters, you sound pretty convinced already anyway.
God is most definitely real.
Religion, however, is very much man-made.. God does the convincing.
God is unseen like Proton, Neutron %26amp; Electron
God is mystery like Gravitation, Time %26amp; material
if Human can't see all of them,
how can human claim that God never exist????
The can't, the only people they fool are other idiots. Fortunately people seem to be waking up to the fact and are leaving in their droves. :)
Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.
The religion of ';emotionalism';.
Maybe you should stop being so close-minded and actually listen.
True.
It's all myth. All of them.
They shouldn't but they are not concerned with truth.
well it's up to the people they tell whether they decide to believe or not.
i'd rather live my life with no unnecessary boundaries and be nice just for the sake of being nice XD
exactly
Yes, in some sense.
your going to the bad place.
They can't
Jesus said to beware of false religion. I think He spoke the Truth.
Every Religion Claims That It Is The Truth - The Criteria Of The Truth
There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all
of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to Allah (God). How can one
determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the
answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the
various claimants to the ultimate truth, and identify the central object of worship to
which they call, directly or indirectly. False religions all have in common one basic
concept with regards to Allah. They either claim that all men are gods or that specific
men were Allah or that nature is Allah or that Allah is a figment of man's imagination.
Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false religion is that Allah may be
worshipped in the form of His creation. False religion invites man to the worship of
creation by calling the creation or some aspect of it God. For example, prophet Jesus
invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim to be his followers today call
people to worship Jesus, claiming that he was Allah!
Buddha was a reformer who introduced a number of humanistic principles to the religion of
India. He did not claim to be God nor did he suggest to his followers that he be an object
of worship. Yet, today most Buddhists who are to be found outside of India have taken him
to be God and prostrate to idols made in their perception of his likeness.
By using the principle of identifying the object of worship, false religion becomes very
obvious and the contrived nature of their origin clear. As God said in the Our'aan:
'; That which you worship besides Him are only names you and your forefathers have invented
for which Allah has sent down no authority: The command belongs only to Allah:
He has commanded that you only worship Him; that is the right religion, but most men do
not understand ';.(Soorah Yoosuf 12:40)
It may be argued that all religions teach good things so why should it matter which one we
follow. The reply is that all false religions teach the greatest evil, the worship of
creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts
the very purpose of his creation. Man was created to worship Allah alone as Allah has
explicitly stated in the the Qur鈥檃n:
'; I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me ';
(Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56)Consequently, the worship of creation,
which is the essence of idolatry, is the only
unforgivable sin. One who dies in this state of idolatry has
sealed his fate in the next life. This is not an opinion, but a
revealed fact stated by Allah in his final revelation to man.
The following criteria can best serve as a gauge to find out the
authenticity of the last revelation (the Qur鈥檃n) as words of God:
1. Rational Teachings: Since our Creator bestowed reason and
intellect upon us, it is our duty to use it to distinguish the
TRUTH from falsehood. True, undistorted revelation from God must
be rational and can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds.
2. Perfection: Since our Creator is all perfect, His revelation
must be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions,
interpolations and multiplicity of versions. It should be free
from contradictions in its narration.
3. No Myths or Superstitions: True revelation is free from myths or
superstitions that degrade the dignity of our Creator or man
himself.
4. Scientific: Since our Creator is the Creator of all knowledge,
true revelation is scientific and can withstand the challenge of
science at all times.
5. Factual Prophecy: Our Creator is the Knower of the past,
present and future. Thus His prophecies in His revelation will be
fulfilled as prophesied.
6. Inimitable By Man: True revelation is infallible and cannot be
imitated by man. God's true revelation is a Living miracle, an
open book challenging all mankind to see and prove for themselves
its authenticity or veracity.

**sigh** whatever lady...you don't have evidence religion isn't real either.scene hair
so when they themselves cant come up with any convincing truths, how can they tell others to believe them?Not even a single religion is true?
That is YOUR opinion or judgement, not the fact.
How do you know they are all fake? Do you have a belief?? Maybe not...
Don't judge others just because you don't know something. Knowledge isn't everything nor it's the absolute truth. For example, science is a belief to many including some Atheists %26amp; my Biology books states that ';there is no truth in science, because truth means uncheangeble, but since in science, there are thesis which do change, science cannot be the truth.';
I don't remember the name of some scientists our pastor mentioned, but he said that these scientists studied evolution and came up with a conclusion that there is more possibility that a Creator created all things rather than things just happened out of accident... BUT they still refuse to believe in God, even after they came up with this conclusion, because they just don't want to believe in God.Not even a single religion is true?
You are confusing ';religion'; with certain religions.
There are many religions that don't have scriptures, and don't believe a Higher Power passed any religion or scriptures down to us.
Not all religions even believe in a Higher Power, or an afterlife.
For example, look at Unitarian Universalism.
I personally believe all religions have things we can learn from, gems of wisdom we can glean from them, but that there are none that are 100% accurate on everything.
Nor do they have to be 100% accurate on everything to be valid.
Maybe you just need to expand your understanding of religion.
How are Daoism and Buddhism incorrect? They never said that God exists, and there is no dogma.
The teachings of Buddhism and Daoism are accepted by almost everyone but Nihilists, and they are very rare.
No religious books = no reason to disagree.
Also, these two religions do not proselytize, so there are no missionaries.
Hi,
The word ';religion' is used in many contexts, and when used in an absolute manner (like the terms 'always,' 'none,' 'never', etc.) we play a losing game. So, in this context, I will use spirituality versus religion. Spirituality is not a commodity that can be classified as ';true or false.'; It is a matter of faith and belief. The convincing evidence most people base their faith and belief on are what most call ';miracles.'; When you make ascertions that ';none of them has any convincing evidence to say they are true,'; you imply that you have researched all religions and are certain that none of them has convinced you that they are true. So your statement is not true. You would have had to research Christianity, Islamm, Hinduism, Chinese traditional religion, Buddhism, Primal-indigenous, African Traditional %26amp; Diasporic, Sikhism, Juche, Spiritism, Judaism, Baha'i, Jainism, Shinto, Cao Dai, Zoroastrianism, Tenrikyo, Neo-Paganism, Unitarian-Universalism, Restafarianism and Scientology. And in order to get a rounded education, you would have to research Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist. But at the end of the day, you are right. How can someone impose their beliefs and faith on others without their consent? They can't; people use their free will to believe or not to - have faith or not to. You have a choice - use it wisely! Best Wishes!
I told people I met about the Truth, Jesus because I believe in the entire word of God ,including these verses: 1cor.14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
No one has proved science to me either, so religion not being proven isn't too big of a deal to me.
At least religion stays consistent for longer....Science is always changing, usually pretty dramatically. However, I'm expected to just believe what studies suggest to me....
I just choose to not let it bother me. To each his own. It's not for me, but that doesn't mean that people who like preaching/teaching their religion shouldn't be allowed to...
Anyway, if people were only allowed to talk about what is real (with proof) then we would never come up with new ideas (^_^)
So what's your point, other than repeating what has been posted on this site about a zillion times? I GET IT...you don't believe in religion. Great...so what?
Hey, i don't believe in religion either, but I respect that some people do. Live and let live. If that is what gives them comfort in life, so be it. As long as they're willing to let me go my own way, I'm certainly willing to let them go their own way, and I don't need to either berate or bait them....
Most religious people are fanatics of what they believe. Fortunately, we live in a non-Muslim world that we can have some degree of freedom. Still, Christians fight hard to impose they made up morality on the rest of the non-religious population...
And I'm supposed to believe for a second that you've given due consideration to every religion out there. including reading all their literature? Not that it matters, you sound pretty convinced already anyway.
God is most definitely real.
Religion, however, is very much man-made.. God does the convincing.
God is unseen like Proton, Neutron %26amp; Electron
God is mystery like Gravitation, Time %26amp; material
if Human can't see all of them,
how can human claim that God never exist????
The can't, the only people they fool are other idiots. Fortunately people seem to be waking up to the fact and are leaving in their droves. :)
Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.
The religion of ';emotionalism';.
Maybe you should stop being so close-minded and actually listen.
True.
It's all myth. All of them.
They shouldn't but they are not concerned with truth.
well it's up to the people they tell whether they decide to believe or not.
i'd rather live my life with no unnecessary boundaries and be nice just for the sake of being nice XD
exactly
Yes, in some sense.
your going to the bad place.
They can't
Jesus said to beware of false religion. I think He spoke the Truth.
Every Religion Claims That It Is The Truth - The Criteria Of The Truth
There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all
of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to Allah (God). How can one
determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the
answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the
various claimants to the ultimate truth, and identify the central object of worship to
which they call, directly or indirectly. False religions all have in common one basic
concept with regards to Allah. They either claim that all men are gods or that specific
men were Allah or that nature is Allah or that Allah is a figment of man's imagination.
Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false religion is that Allah may be
worshipped in the form of His creation. False religion invites man to the worship of
creation by calling the creation or some aspect of it God. For example, prophet Jesus
invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim to be his followers today call
people to worship Jesus, claiming that he was Allah!
Buddha was a reformer who introduced a number of humanistic principles to the religion of
India. He did not claim to be God nor did he suggest to his followers that he be an object
of worship. Yet, today most Buddhists who are to be found outside of India have taken him
to be God and prostrate to idols made in their perception of his likeness.
By using the principle of identifying the object of worship, false religion becomes very
obvious and the contrived nature of their origin clear. As God said in the Our'aan:
'; That which you worship besides Him are only names you and your forefathers have invented
for which Allah has sent down no authority: The command belongs only to Allah:
He has commanded that you only worship Him; that is the right religion, but most men do
not understand ';.(Soorah Yoosuf 12:40)
It may be argued that all religions teach good things so why should it matter which one we
follow. The reply is that all false religions teach the greatest evil, the worship of
creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts
the very purpose of his creation. Man was created to worship Allah alone as Allah has
explicitly stated in the the Qur鈥檃n:
'; I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me ';
(Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56)Consequently, the worship of creation,
which is the essence of idolatry, is the only
unforgivable sin. One who dies in this state of idolatry has
sealed his fate in the next life. This is not an opinion, but a
revealed fact stated by Allah in his final revelation to man.
The following criteria can best serve as a gauge to find out the
authenticity of the last revelation (the Qur鈥檃n) as words of God:
1. Rational Teachings: Since our Creator bestowed reason and
intellect upon us, it is our duty to use it to distinguish the
TRUTH from falsehood. True, undistorted revelation from God must
be rational and can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds.
2. Perfection: Since our Creator is all perfect, His revelation
must be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions,
interpolations and multiplicity of versions. It should be free
from contradictions in its narration.
3. No Myths or Superstitions: True revelation is free from myths or
superstitions that degrade the dignity of our Creator or man
himself.
4. Scientific: Since our Creator is the Creator of all knowledge,
true revelation is scientific and can withstand the challenge of
science at all times.
5. Factual Prophecy: Our Creator is the Knower of the past,
present and future. Thus His prophecies in His revelation will be
fulfilled as prophesied.
6. Inimitable By Man: True revelation is infallible and cannot be
imitated by man. God's true revelation is a Living miracle, an
open book challenging all mankind to see and prove for themselves
its authenticity or veracity.

Is it true? Single women married men?
Do single women find married men desirable or is this just a myth?Is it true? Single women married men?
Oh It is true my friend... now not true of all single women mind you there is a certain kind of women out there that like married guys. I was a lonely and painfully single guy most of my life and only after I was married did women occasionally flirt or hit on me.
Advantages for a younger woman to be with a married man:
- Danger, taboo, sexy
- All the benefits of a relationship without any of the work
- Gifts
- Dates
- Money
- Sex
- Trips
There are some women that get off on the fact that they can make a ';good man'; stray. Usually these women are young and easily impressed with a man that might be better off financially than men of their own age.
It happens, I don't want to say there are predatory women out there but there are younger women that do not look past the attention they might receive and think of the man's family. It takes two to tango but yes there are definitely girls out there looking.Is it true? Single women married men?
i personally think some single women do, because if he's unattainable
then he's more fun to chase. it's childish, but to some women love is a game and men are toys. sometimes though, the married man does not fess up to the marrige until after the involement is going on and so it wasn't her fault.
I think some do. We don't want to generalize here....however, I know one single chica who loved being with married men. I think some married women/men like to be with other married men/women, because at the end of the day...they really don't owe each other anything.
Only if you love your wife and children. Women see that love and want it for themselves. If you talk lovingly about your family they will naturally find it attractive. Not sure they would want to act on it but I can see how it can happen.
i've been with lots of women since i've been married and most of them have known and had no problem with it. my current gf doesn't mind most of the time but every once in a while she gets frustrated.
I believe it's a myth. We would really like a man all to ourselves. If a woman is attracted to a married man and pursues him, it's because she wants to break up the marriage, NOT share him.
I think we find them a little more attractive because they represent what we want which is a stable man ready for marriage thee set back is he's married. Therefore not to be touched by a self respecting woman.
I think it is a myth. As far as I know, and I know a lot about him, my husband has not be seriously hit upon since he got married to me.
Some women do, but I do belive its a myth, I have heard that girls who have no self esteem try to go after married men. Thats all i can help with sorry
When I was single I never was attracted to a man who was married..
i think its just the skanky ones having home-wrecking fantasies....
some do, they want to know homeboy is wanted.

Is it true that the melody consists GENERALLY of single notes ?
Yes, assuming a series of single notes.
When you add additional notes, you add harmony or chords.Is it true that the melody consists GENERALLY of single notes ?
Music theory is defined by the general consensus of music theoreticians.
My guess is that if you, for example, created a melody in major 3rds the whole way through, and then developed that melody, always keeping it in thirds, then no, the melody would not be comprised of single notes. Though you can easily make the argument that one of the lines is just a harmony, but it's really the composer's intention that defines if he/she means it to be a melody in thirds, or a melody with a harmony of a third above or below it.
But if the harmony is not a consistent interval, it's definitely a line of harmony, or a counter-melody.Is it true that the melody consists GENERALLY of single notes ?
Yes, because extra notes added to the melody are generally considered as harmony.
There can be exceptions to this rule though. One thing that immediately popped into my mind is a theme that John Williams uses for a big battle in his score for Star Wars Episode III. There is a cluster (multiple pitches adjacent to one another that are played at the same time) that is used as if it were a single pitch every time the theme occurs.
Situations like this are very rare though. In fact, I honestly can't think of any other examples.
True. Perhaps part of the definition of a melody? A second tone would be considered the harmony.
Not even ';generally';. It is ';specifically';
... otherwise there is harmony.

Is it true that absolute zero cause large groups of atoms to blur together into a single quantum state?
Sort of. What you are talking about is a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). This is not theoretical, it has been done. In fact it has been done a lot. Almost every big university will have at least one physics professor with a BEC lab. Eric Cornell, Carl Weimann and Wolfgang Ketterle won the Nobel Prize in physics about 8 years ago for experimentally producing BECs in the mid 1990's.
But there are a few things you are getting wrong. First off, this only works for Bosons. All atoms are either Bosons or Fermions, depending on their spin state. And about half of them are Bosons, which will condense into a BEC. Fermions do something else when they get very cold, which is a bit too complicated to discuss here. The second issue is that you do not need to get to absolute zero (as that is impossible). You just need to get cold enough that the average energy is lower than the some threshold set by how tight you are trapping the cloud of bosonic atoms. That means you need to get to less than a few microkelvin (less than 0.00001 K or so). To get there, they have a two step process. First, using laser cooling and what is called an optical molasses, they cool the atoms down close to this temperature. Then they allow the hottest atoms to 'boil' out of the magnetic trap that hold the cloud of atoms. This is called evaporative cooling (analogous to how your coffee cools down), and that gets the atoms to a low enough temperature for them to condense. Once they do form a BEC, they are in a single quantum state. This makes them very interesting for certain types of sensing applications (like gyroscopes or general quantum studies). Probably the most popular thing to study with BECs recently is to spin them and watch quantum vortices form in the BEC.
They are just beginning to study BECs with multiple species of atoms. But typically BECs are formed using a single type of atom (isotopically pure as well), because if the atoms are not the same, they can not really share a quantum state. Furthermore, BECs can only be performed with certain atoms that are well behaved. To be well behaved, it has to have certain magnetic properties and certain spectroscopic properties that allow it to be magnetically trapped and laser cooled with existing laser technology. There are probably about 10 types of atoms that have been used to make a BEC at this point. But, in theory, if you can cool the atoms close enough to absolute zero, you could make a BEC out of any bosonic atom. The problem is whether or not you can do that for the given atom, in practice.
But, yes, some atoms, when close to absolute zero, do condense into a single quantum state, called a BEC.Is it true that absolute zero cause large groups of atoms to blur together into a single quantum state?
We don't know. NO ONE has ever found or produced Absolute Zero. True absolute zero does not exist in nature, and has not yet been produced by scientific experiments.
What you speak of is called the Bose-Einstein Condensate. it is still theoretical, as no one has actually PROVEN it yet.
Absolute Zero is defined as the point where ALL atomic motion stops. So far, scientists have reach a point like 0.00001 degree above Absolute Zero, but there is ALWAYS some small amount of atomic motion.Is it true that absolute zero cause large groups of atoms to blur together into a single quantum state?
It's impossible to cool something to absolute zero. But yes, as you get very close, under certain circumstances one can begin to see quantum effects on a macroscopic scale. See for example, the topic of Bose-Einstein condensates.
It is the thought that, at absolute zero, all motion will cease, making everything appear at the same quantum level. However, this is only speculation, since absolute zero cannot be reached.

Is it true that a polygenic trait can have fewer genotypes than most single-gene traits?
pleasde help me fast !Is it true that a polygenic trait can have fewer genotypes than most single-gene traits?
No, polygenic traits always have more genotypes than single-gene traits. Polygenic traits means traits that be controlled by many genes, or in other word, many genes control one particular trait. Yield and height are two examples of polygenic traits, commonly controlled by many genes; but the seven characters of Mendel's peas are single-gene traits. Polygenic traits are also known as quantitative traits; while single-gene traits are qualitative traits.

umm..no. and if you happen to be talking about the reabte later this year, then the most you would get would be like $600I was told by someone that this year you receive $1500 for filing single with no kids? Is this true? I'm in GA

There set deductions for a Single person but there is no set refund that you automatically get.
Some single people get refunds.....some owe.....It all depends on your unique situation.
you've been lied to...get new friends

Could someone please name a single true conservative that has ever committed a crime?
(True conservatives follow their moral message)Could someone please name a single true conservative that has ever committed a crime?
George W. Bush's Grandfather, Prescott Bush had his assets seized by the US Government for helping Hitler by breaking the law and doing business with him during the war.Could someone please name a single true conservative that has ever committed a crime?
All of them...they stepped on ants ;)
Richard nixon, and gwb
Didn't George W. Bush get arrested for driving under the influence?
Not that I would label him a true conservative, more than a corporate lap-dog. His business ventures were either complete failures or only saved by socialist government policies that help business.... which is not very conservative by any standard.
I don't know if I would call the guy a liberal.... but he is certainly not conservative.... nor compassionate.
dick has a DWI, Oliver North, Ronald Reagan (the whole weapons for drugs thing) I don't think there are any true conservatives by your definition, we all lust in our heart.
i've broken a curfew set by my city. i also ran a stop sign and turned into the wrong lane.
I got busted for speeding just last week...
Bull. Nice try, but bull.
True Conservatives are human beings like everyone else.
ADDED: Don't buy into the hype. Conservatives are Conservatives. And they are trying to divide and conquer. I think it boils down to a misunderstanding in some cases, and total misrepresentation in others.
Bush
what Nixon did was just?
well.. apparently you think everything that every conservative did was just ever... so, this is a pretty pointless question...
Rush Limbaugh? prescription drug fraud...
anyone at Halliburton in the late 90s...
Is lying and deceit a crime? hmmmmm Is going to war with made up stuff to arouse people enough to make a crime? hmmm.
I think taking libertys with our constitution is a crime but I'm not sure theres a written law that prohibits it.
So, is hypocrisy a crime?
Well, I guess the whole Republican right wing Administration is safe.
So, sorry, I couldn't find a real crime.
Thanks
Carl Rove, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney. No doubt in my mind. Cheney has had to, or he wouldn't hide everything. Ronald Regan, lied through his teeth about Iran Contra. I don't recall? Perjury? True conservatives are like everyone else. Sinners. Lying is a sin too. And against the law in some cases. And no, I am not a liberal.
Sure. Me.
HEH? speak english !!
Let me guess - whomever we name - you will claim is not a true conservative?
Bush, Libby, Nixon etc - suddenly not ';true';conservatives. What a self serving argument.
I am a true conservative and I committed many, many crimes in my misspent youth.
I would have scared you.
Nixon?
They've all ';committed'; crimes.
Most just avoid getting convicted.
Ronald Reagan
Well that's kind of a catch 22. Because anybody who says their a true conservative would be lying if they ever committed a crime. So no I guess I can't. Because everybody I list who says their a conservative that has committed a crime wouldn't really be a conservative by your definition...
I guess anyone who is ';true'; (absolutely and 100%) to any political party that doesn't condone committing crimes would have to have not committed one since they became true...
What moral message?? The conservatives that look clean are usually more screwed up than the ones they have caught doing something awful
Your question is based on a circular argument. You're basically defining ';true conservative'; as a conservative who has never committed a crime!
Do you consider pedophilia a crime? Mark Foley, and

How about embezzlement? Ken Lay, Jim Bakker.
Insider trading (Harkin Energy) or desertion in a Time of War? How about criminal negligence in the 10 months before the attacks on Sept 11, 2001? George W. Bush (so if Bush is a ';liberal [the most ridiculous claim I've ever heard in Y/A], just who DID vote for him his second term? You wuoldnt vote for a liberal, would you?).
Soliciting a prostitute? Jimmy Swaggert.
Infidelity? Or embezzlement again? Newt Gingrich.
Torturing people is a crime, is it not? Saying it's ok to torture people should be as well.
There is no answer to that because you would then counter with the response that they weren't ';true'; conservatives.
A better question would be ';name a true conservative that hasn't committed a crime?';
Given the state of ALL politicians today, that seems to be an impossibility.
