Communism as practiced in the Soviet Union and in China admittedly held that there is no God. However, there are Socialists throughout the world that are also Christian or belong to other faiths.

The attrocities committed by Stalin and Mao are related to their communist ideology, not their atheism. In the same way, the attrocities committed by Hitler and Mussolini were unrelated to their Christianity, but instead to their fascist ideologies.

However, could you say the attrocities of the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades are unrelated to Christianity? Could you say that the tragedy of 9/11 is unrelated to radical Islam?

Doesn't it make sense to blame the ideology when ideology is responsible, and then to blame the brand of faith when the faith is responsible?

If wise men sought Jesus over 2,000 years ago, do wise men seek him today?

And, before anyone objects, by 'men' I mean women as well, but as it WAS men who scoured the skies in their search and followed the star over a great distance in the first instance, I kept to 'men' in the question. However, I'm looking for specific comments. (Don't bother with a mere 'yes' or a 'no'.) Were those original wise men really wise? Why (or why not)? In what way can people seek Christ today? Why would that be (or not be) the course of wisdom?

Animals do some gross things.?

Animals do silly things, and sometimes they are so gross. Yesterday my friends dog scooted his but across the carpet, then turned around to smell the carpet, then started licking it.
This morning i woke up to find my two kitties in the spare room playing with poop. They had three other cat toys right by them, but they chose to play with their poop. So i cleaned it up, got them to play with there toys. A few minutes later i go in to check on them, and they scooped more poop out of their litter box and started playing with it again...haha, i just don't know...

What are some silly, but gross things your pet has done?

My best friend tried to strangle herself?

Please help. The other night me and my friend got drunk together as we were getting ready to go out. She tried on a belt n i told her it didn't really go with her outfit so she threw it on the bed and carried on gettin ready. She lay down on the bed for a minute snd said "how far do you dare me?" while she was pulling itround her neck. All her face went red and I tried to pull it off her and stop her.
After that I couldn't look at her or speak at her, I was just horrified.
She then started telling me she has no control over her life and this is the one thing she has control over.
She started crying and collapsed in tears, I hugged her and she whispered "promise me you wont leave me" and i promised her i wouldnt.
the next day I tried talkin 2 her about it but she won't let me in close enough, even though I want to help her and be there for her.
I know most of you will say "just make sure she knows u are there for her, try ot talk to her" but I have and it honestly doesnt work.
