I am for the most part agnostic. I neither belive nor disbelieve any religion. Yet I have seen no proof in god or the existance of jesus and I don't really feel that the bible may be completely true. As far as I know, the bible could be just a collection of fictional stories and quotes. I do believe of the idea of a higher power that may or may not have created human life. I do have a problem when religious people state their religion to me and other agnostic people and we are fine with their beliefs and don't really care, but when an athiest or someone religously neutral states our beliefs to religious people, they become offended by it and look down on us. Why? I personally don't care what people believe in I just don't want them pushing their beliefs on me and I don't want them thinking it's bad that I don't believe in the ideas they do. As far as I am concerned no one is right. Please help.

my cousin used my pc and i think she disabled my pc security for some downloads.. and now my pc have been infested by spywares, adwares.. not to mention, trojan..

my pc is such a pain in the a** for functioning too slow.. i tried to download adaware, spysweeper and alike but it didnt help.. maybe it helped by blocking new cookies to come in but cant actually remove what has already been in the system..

if i'll buy norton or other anti-virus software, would it solve the problem?

or is it a good idea to reformat my pc.. but i dont know how to do it.. can someone teach me? is it easy to learn? im just worried that vital files/programs would be lost if i didnt do it right..

I own a condo and am renting it out in Portland, Oregon through a property management company. I signed an agreement stating that "the mgnmt co. is to maintain the property in good repair in accordance with the management plan, local codes and any other applicable laws of this state or its subdivisions. This includes, but is not limited to, cleaning, painting, decorating, plumbing, carpentry, grounds care, and such other maintenance and repair as may be necessary subject to limitations imposed by owner in writing in advance. Expenses associated with maintenance and repair shall be paid out of owner's operating client trust account." "agent shall make or cause to be made ordinary and reasonable repairs, without the prior written approval of trhe owner, in an amount not to exceed $500.00, except emergency..." The mgnt co. spends so much of my money/ mo on misc. expenses and this last time was $300 for blinds and unspecified misc. repairs. I feel I have no rights and all my money is

He died from a heart attack in his beach house. I wasn't close to the man because he lived in a foreign country, but from what I know, he had good and bad just like you and I have. Nevertheless, his 3 children (under 13) are now left without a father. Where is this loving god of yours? Personally, I just know he returned to his state of non-existance as before he died, and although I feel bad for his kids, I know that the universe is cruel without preference without anyone out there that could have prevented this. Where is your god theists? If he expects our devotion, he should at least have the decency not to just apathetically disassociated permitting young children to die.

P.S. My 90 year old great grandmother (my uncles mom) is still alive but doesn't know her son is dead. Is this really fair on her too when she finds out?

I'd like to attend a college or university with a good academic and art program. I haven't decided what field of art I'd like to major in yet and would like to experience different art courses first. I'm a senior and have a 3.8 GPA.

i really need help with this one. my government teacher assigned us to do these hearings where we researched something in the constitution and argued about it infront of some people she brought in. we had a group of four, and the fourth member crapped out on us and didnt do any work. the teacher said that she would kick people out of groups if they didnt work. it was a bluff, she didnt want to do kick her out. so we presented with her anyway, and she didnt say much of anything at all. i needed a B to get a B for the semester and my stupid teacher gave our group a C.
im workin on a way to prove our case and get the few points to get the grade, but any suggestions would be very helpful!!!

I often feel guilt for no real reason at all. I feel that it may be because I feel like I don't belong, but I don't understand why not fitting in or having friends would make me feel guilty. Most of the time, I'm fine with not being around other people, but sometimes I have a feeling of overwhelming guilt with no way to get rid of it because I don't know what causes it in the first place.

My questions are: Is there a way to keep myself from feeling guilty? How do I get rid of the guilt if I start feeling it? And is it bad to feel guilty for no apparent reason?

Well the lights dont, but again this morning when I turned the kitchen lights on, (Halogen Spots) they tripped the fuse. Also the Lounge lights go off at the same time so presume they are on the same circuit? My Fuses are those big fat brown things that you pull out, unscrew and they have a big round fuse in.

Same thing happened about 2 months ago and I replaced that particular fuse with one that has a "on/off" switch.

Could my ex husband have rigged the house to finish me off? lol!
