I know that it's from a Roman fountain, but is it any kind of relevant symbol to the Catholic faith? Why did they decide to put it in the Vatican? Could it be intended as a symbol of the pineal gland, which Descartes said to be the "seat of the soul"?

As far as I am aware, there is only one 'Theory of Evolution'. Are you thinking of the distinction often made between "macroevolution" and "microevolution"? These are not different theories, they are simply distinctions made between the scale on which the theory is applied. Or are you thinking...

Bag Job or Prawn can apply to both sexes, but those are both usually used to refer to women as well. Butterface is a pretty obscure slang term, don't be surprised if people aren't familiar with it. By the way, folks, "butterface" refers to a woman with an attractive body but an ugly face. 'Tis...

A combination. Lyrics are just an element of a song. I couldn't listen to good music with bad lyrics, or bad music with good lyrics.

I saw the first episode, maybe the second - it's been a while. An interesting premise - but is there an actual plot that develops, or is it basically the same thing all the way?

They don't seem it... Regardless of their origins, I think these jokes can be appreciated by Christians anyway.

Masturbation in itself is not a sin. In the Bible, it is never referred to as a sin, and it does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with lust - it's certainly possible to touch without lusting after other people.

Yes, I usually draw every day. I will admit to having flirted with animesque styles, as well as fan art, but really, I'd love to be able to master realism as a style. I started messing around on Photoshop from a fairly young age (9 - 10) and now I'm aspiring to be a digital artist. I'm...

The second picture is of the Scooby Doo cast as anthropomorphic animals, yes? I'll post something up on this topic a bit later.

That's a good question. Because I wasn't fully awake when I made this topic? XD Oops, oh well. xP

None of us are perfect. It's not a sin to witness, although sinning right before you witness will certainly affect your credibility...

As the title says: Were you raised as a Christian or did you convert later? All of the Christian teens I've spoken to were raised as Christians, so I was curious as to whether any of you became Christians despite your background. ;3

Isn't the love between partners supposed to be a reflection of God's love for us? Besides, we're made in God's image, and whilst our love is clearly not as perfect as his, it's essentially the same type of love, isn't it?

I'd say it's a very personal decision that should be completely up to the individuals within the relationship and their situation. Assigning the role by something like gender is a gross oversimplification of human beings and their relationships and the answer to the question "Who should say it?"...

A few scriptures I'd like to bring into the discussion: Ephesians 5:25-26 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 I hope I'm not taking these horribly out of context, but they seem to agree with the idea of constantly sharing your faith with your partner and not giving up on him or her. With regards to...

That guy sounds like an idiot, he can't do anything to you. Sorry for bumping a week-old topic.

Sorry if this isn't really contributing to the topic, but I have to say... :doh:

Never heard of Skillet's Alien Youth album, I might check that out. Thanks for responding, good industrial is indeed a pain to find.

Look at it differently: Hell was not deliberately set up as some kind of sadistic release for a God who feels pleasure from our pain - it is simply the absence of God's presence. If, in life, you choose not to follow God, then God will not force you to spend an eternity in His presence. Of...

You could always ask the priest to make changes as you see appropriate in order to leave out that question. Just don't forget about God's mercy! :3
