If one brings up the various atrocities committed in the name of God by the extremely devout, they are always branded as "not true Christians." But many of these ppl (conquistadors, witch hunters, KKK) were very devout. You often say you will be forgiven for your sins if you believe in God. Surely these extremely devout historical figures went to heaven. Considering how morals change according to the times (slavery used to be seen as morally necessary by the masters, conveniently) how can you say these terrible and devout men were not true Christians? They believed more than you did. And according to their peers they committed no sins.
And yet you proclaim for sure that the you are a Christian who will be forgiven for your sins and go to heaven.
How do you know?
Faith is malleable according to the necessities of the time.

For which of the following reasons did you vote for Bush twice?
a. "After 9/11, I was scared out of my mind and Bush's lip service made me feel safer;"
b. "He's an excellent public speaker;" or
c. "I like my President to completely ignore any domestic issues in favor of a war which will never end and for which my great-grandchildren will have to pay the bills."
I'm curious. What was so appealing about Dubya the second time around?

Just curious. I know a few married people and just people who are in relationships who have a myspace account and who have found old flames, friends and new flames and friends and..... you know the rest. What do you all think? I'm engaged and I have an account, but it's set to "private" so everyone can't view. I think that can help alot. My fiance' doesn't care if I have one. He doesn't have one. As a matter of fact, he didn't even know what it was until I told him about it. LOL! What you do you all think, could this hender anyone's marriage?

well, there's this guy that i met in college last year & we started hanging out a bit & talking.....we liked eachother but things didn't progress because he was moving far away to go to another school....
we've kept in touch for a yr now, he'll call randomly & leave messages and txts saying things like "i need a gitl like you" but that's it, he never asks me out & he only calls once in awhile.....
recently i told him like it is while we were on-line, i was like "you need to figure out what you want & stop confusing me" he said he was going to & that he would call me the next day......but never did....i don't know if he's shy, doesn't wanna be bothered, or if he thinks I don't like him....I wanted to know if i should call even if he didn't call me???

has anyone on y!answers ever convinced you that you were wrong about your religious or philosophical beliefs? it pretty much never happens so why do we put so much an effort to debate this stuff when everyone walks out with the same opinion?

I am the poster from last Thursday that was in a pickle over meeting a beautiful couple on a swinger site. Well, i met the couple this weekend and the wife was prettier than her pictures showed. I told them that my wife was in Europe. We had drinks together and they took me home.
So is this cheating when hubby approves?

Native speakers---I wrote this paragraph to my teacher on convincing her not to give us homework. We also had to use the present subjunctive tense, so.....Could you please look this over, (verb conjugation, agreement between nouns and adjectives etc., correct wording, overall Grammar). Thanks in advance!
Querida Profesora,
Es necesario que no nos de la tarea el fin de semana. Dudo que usted goce corregir todas las tareas, especialmente el fin de semana! Tambien, sospecho que quiera hacer algo con su familia para Pascua de Resurrección, quizas? Prefiero que no asigne la tarea porque es mi cumpleanos el sabado y es un vacacion el domingo! Es mejor que nosotros (los estudiantes y la profesora) descansemos el fin de semana, después de sus conferencias. Te recomiendo que no de la tarea y nosotros nos relajemos el tres día fin de semana. Por favor y gracias!

Is it safe or possible to get pregnant if you have an ovarian cyst at the time? my friend had a cyst and is now wanting a baby, however she doesn't know if the cyst is gone. If she quit taking her pills 2 weeks ago and had a normal cycle on 4/4 she would ovulate on the 18, she has a sonogram on the 25th, will it show if she concieved, how likely is it for her to even get pregnant if she still has the cyst

I'm not, 'cause I'll just be re-incarnated or come back as ghost! Please don't talk about what I said, I just want to know what YOU think of being afraid of death, not your opinion on what I think of it!

It seems to me that Satan could trick the pants of anyone, anyhow, any time. He could get any one of us to believe in a false book (whether that book is the Bible or a science book, in your opinion). But one proud Christian told me that Satan is NOT smarter than her. Wow. Well, if you think you're smarter, or you think Satan's smarter, please say so NOW.

She came home from school one day. She said, "Look, mommy, I made a nickel today".
The mother said, "How did you make a nickel, sweetie?"
The little girl said, "A boy gave me a nickel to climb up a phone pole."
The mother said, "Sweetie, don't ever do that again. That little boy just wanted to look up your dress and see your underpants".
The next day, the little girl came home and said, "Look, mommy, I just made two nickels".
The mother asked, "How did you make two nickels?"
The little girl said, "I climbed up the telephone pole twice".
The mother scolded, "What did I tell you, sweetie? That little boy just wanted to see your underpants!"
The little girl said, "No, it's OK, mom. I fooled him. I didn't wear any underpants today."
