If God knew that Eve was going to be tricked into eating the fruit from the snake or should we say the devil then why didn't he prevented that from happening? (remember God is "perfect") And also if God is loving then why does he give us freewill to do evil. I thought God wanted us to go to Heaven and be happy. So this must mean that the bible had been written from really intellgent men with great imagination.

There was a young man who really took care of his body. He lifted
weights and jogged six miles a day. One day, he looked in the mirror and
noticed he was tan all over except his "thingie" so he decided to do
something about it. He went to the beach, completely undressed and
buried himself in the sand, except for his thingie, which he left
sticking up in the sand.

Two old ladies were walking on the beach, one using a cane. Upon seeing
the "thingie" sticking up in the sand, she began to move it around with
her cane, remarking to the other lady, "There is no justice in the
world."

The other lady asked her what she meant.

She replied:

"When I was 20, I was curious about it.
When I was 30, I enjoyed it.
When I was 40, I asked for it.
When I was 50, I paid for it.
When I was 60, I prayed for it.
When I was 70, I forgot about it.
Now that I'm 80, the damn things are growing wild on the beach and I'm
too old to squat."

I'm in a huge dilemma. I just graduated, and my parents are asking me what I want as a gift. I said either a 30 GB iPod video or an electronic drumset.

I said a 30 GB iPod because I have a Mac and it would be more friendly to it. I'm having second thoughts because I'd want to put movies on it and I can't do that unless I have the correct software to do it. I have MacTheRipper, but I have no idea how to use it.

I want an electronic drumset because I've always wanted one to start my career as a musician. The part where I'm having second thoughts is that my room is too small for one.

What should I get?

PLEASE don't tell me both. I need a serious answer.

My father just passed away on the 8th of June. Hardest thing I have ever done, he passed in his home and I was with him as he went. (after a 3 yr battle with cancer) I want to honor and remember him by using his name William. I really like the name Logan William. What do you think? He was so excited to see his first grandchild. I feel like he would be very proud to have his name included in the baby's. What do you think? Thanks oh I am 29 weeks and were sure its a boy!

I need a 2nd job to "get by." I planned to look for bartending/waitressing jobs this week(totally unrelated to my 1st job at an office), & to leave my 1st job a few hrs early to do this, since the only good time to jobsearch is during the afternoon before the happy hr & night crowds. (My job lets us leave early if we make up the hrs later in the week) I neeeeeed a 2nd job or I will not have enough $ to pay bills.

I consulted w/ my coworker that I was leaving early on Tues. Then my coworker had a family emergency that he had to leave early for, so I had to stay(at least 1 of us has to be there). Then we agreed I would go today(Wed) but then he had to leave early to take his kid to the doctor. He's had a lot of family emergencies lately so I know it's not bullshit. So I'm pushing back the jobsearching again.

What if this happens tomorrow, should I give in or should I leave early anyway? I don't want to look like a pushover OR a b*tc#. What should I do?

Hello,

I'm having a baby girl and we like the name "Lindsey." Which middle name sounds better? Lindsey Marie or Lindsey Joy? Please don't make more suggestions, just pick one or the other. Both middle names have significant meaning behind them. Thank you.

I've found everyone in this forum has an opinion, positive or negative, on Christianity. But I don't hear many thoughts on Paganism. What do you know about it? What are your opinions?

I was raised Catholic. I have nothing against Christianity, it just wasn't right for me. At 16 (I admit it began because I jumped on the angsty teen bandwagon) I started researching Wicca, and eventually "converted". It's been eight years now. I do this because there is a respect for nature that I think we've lost in modern life, and it teaches us to be responsible for our own actions and to work toward positive change in our lives. We don't place the blame on anyone, and there is no devil to point fingers at. And I've found that a lot of people think we sit here casting some crazy Harry Potter-style spells. Not true. I celebrate the changing of the seasons and the moon with small rituals that aren't too far off from Catholic ritualism. But that's just my thoughts. What say you?

France has outlawed wearing of crosses or other religious symbols in the work place. If I owned a business I would. We seem to have such religious differences it seems that spewing or personal takes us away from our jobs.
My farther was a southern baptist minister. Once a new convert got fired for witnessing in the work place. My father explained that when he was at work he should give all to his employer. Witnessing can be done on breaks. A workman is worthy of his hire.

If you profess to believe in no god or spirit then why bother?

If you post just to harass other people then thats immoral, something I know many aiethests claim they arent.

If you are trying to inform others then why be antagonistic?

... for how we identify ourselves publically?

I'm not talking about the anti-Catholic extremists who don't acknowledge us as Christian, period, but the average inquirer without an "anti" agenda who asks questions of "Christians and Catholics".

Think about it. In real life as opposed to Y!A, when the subject of religion comes up, don't most Protestants regardless of denomination or sect first say "I'm Christian"? And in the same situations, most Catholics say "I'm Catholic". I know this is a bit of generalization but then again, it does reflect what I've seen (and said) myself for many years.

If the average person is under the impression that Catholic is different from Christian (again, not counting those who have been specifically taught this) -- and it certainly seems so, given the many times we have corrected it here -- wouldn't it be better to also make our first response "I'm Christian" if further distinction isn't relevant to the situation?
