I get together with a guy every few weeks and he’s had a tough life. He was raised in a Christian home and was a committed Christian. He says he was a nerd growing up. He was abused at home and was picked on at school and church. Even pastor’s son would beat him up. As a young man he started losing his eyesight and was hospitalized. His parents, pastor and “friends” told him that God was punishing him and that if he prayed and repented God would heal him. He would know he was forgiven when he was healed. He never was healed (he is blind in one eye). He became depressed and suicidal. He was committed to an institution. There he was raped repeatedly by a worker. He literally escaped and started living on his own.

He says, “God hates me.”, but he’s afraid to give up on Christianity. He says church or even hearing the name Jesus makes him feel physically ill. What do you say to this sort of person? Would a loving God send this guy to hell if he can't make his peace with Christianity?

Sorry didn know where to catergorize this:.............
Me, I'd strap it to my childrens wrists so that if they were ever in danger it would temporarily freeze the area around them to give them enough time to run home.......As you can see can be anything real or imaginary, or even futuristic.......

I just got two new t-shirts from the Gap that I like a lot, but they are way too hot for this weather.

Does anyone know any way to age them (like you would jeans) besides washing/drying them? I don't want them to look ratty, i just want them to be softer and less stiff.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one like this, but whenever I'm at home I always feel people are watching me through cameras. I've even checked my rooms and stuff to make sure. And my mom thinks I'm crazy. But I can't help it. And I especially feel afraid while changing or showering. Is it just me?

We like each other, but obviously we're just mates at the mo, still getting to know each other. We won't meet up until next year to see what happens between us, but I need some ideas about what type of present I could send him for his birthday (he's 30). I don't want to get anything too expensive, or anything that's over the top, but something that will let him know that I think he's special. Any ideas?!?!

I saw this picture with Vash and Alcuard about to shoot each other. So I was wondering if they were in a real battle just with guns and NO magical demon powers who would win.

I went to a party one time and someone had made a corn dip. It was absolutely delicious. It was kind of spicy, but not too bad. They served it with corn chips. Does anyone have any idea what this recipe was?

It seems like firemen have more moustaches than the average population. Nicholas Cage grew a moustache for his upcoming 9-11 movie where he plays a fireman (and he looks rediculous in it in my opinion.) Even fireman toys!

So lets hear from the firemen out there. Whats with the moustaches?

p.s. im not saying they look bad or anything. im just curious
