Undoubtedly, this theory, closely allied with the one that states that the tallest candidate is elected President, falls into the category of an urban legend; what's more after searching the Web, I've seen no supporting evidence to verify it. Also, has Burke's Peerage, or anyone else, determined the ancestry of the 2007 candidates? If so, given the "royal" theory, what are the odds of each candidate's election as president?

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.

In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.

According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.

John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”—(New York, 1965), p. 899.

I posted this already but people stopped responding!

I am a 20 yr old virgin. I thought I wanted to wait until my wedding night to have sex, but I feel that I am ready now. Although my boyfriend knows that I am a virgin, I think that because I am 20, he would expect more from me than he would a younger virgin. He is very experienced, so I don't want to disappoint him. What are some things I can do to make it more interesting(not sluttish, but interesting)? I just don't want to seem childish or naive.

**Ladies, although I know I'm not quite ready for this yet I still want to know. What do you do on top or when you are totally in control? Were you nervous the first time you had complete control?

Please be as detailed as possible. I know I'm ready, I just don't know what to do. I do NOT want to just lay while he does everything because that will make everything awkward.

Please don't laugh at me, lol, just help! Thanks!

Barrack Obama has a black father from Kenya and an American caucasian mother, so in other words he is mixed and coloured, but why is it that he is labeled an African American or black by some people instead of calling him European-African American? He has European and African ancestors and heritage and he lives in America, hence Euro-Afro American.

Like my apartment building used to be the churches school. Anyways, a few days ago I was looking out my window to see two elderly nuns fighting. Like hitting and yelling at each other. My mother wanted to call the priest and let him know but I told her not to because it was none of our business. I am not making this up. This is absolute true story. I was shocked as hell to see it. What the heck could two nuns have to fight about that was so bad they had to duke it out on the street? I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything but what the heck is up with that?

I have had UC for two years now and no medicines have been able to help prevent flare ups. I was so sick three weeks ago that I was nearly admitted to hospital. In desperation I decided to try what a friend had suggested - to cut out all dairy products from my diet. I did, and ever since I have been much better. Has anyone else experienced this, or has anyone excluded any other foods from their diet that has helped them? Thank you,
