I have seen Christains telling other Christians that they are not "true" or "real" and there are many denominations with varying degrees of liberalism and conservativeness in each.

I have seen (on rare occasions) some atheists tell other atheists that they aren't atheists because they believe in an afterlife, or something else that isn't scientifically proven.

Agnostics are even subdivided into weak, strong, deist/theist, or atheist.

And, please forgive me if I am wrong as this is outside my experience, isn't there 3 types of Buddhism?

I ask, not to cause trouble, but out of curiosity.

Do you allow your beliefs to define you or do you define your beliefs?
Are they subject to change with experience, or do you deny yourself experiences that may cause change?

I asked why a god who could make a universe couldn't make a book without ambiguity. I asked this question two different ways.

I'm told that if God had done that, he'd have interfered with free will.

So then I ask if God writing a book without ambiguity would have interfered with free will, why did he write a book at all.

I'm told that god did not write a book full of ambiguity, that god wrote a perfectly understandable handbook for how we are to live.

(o.O)

You get one excuse to handle one problem, and then they totally reverse themselves to hand you an excuse for the problem their earlier excuse created.

And this circus act -never- ends.

I have to wonder, don't christians -ever- get sick and tired of making excuses for thenonsense and superstition they claim to believe? Have they compartmentalized their beliefs for so long that they are completely unaware of how often they contradict one another?

Isn't it Christians alone who sew the seeds of confusion?

Do you think its a good idea to start buying baby formula before the baby is born? Its one of thoughs things that is going to add up and i thought getting a head start would be extremtly helpful money-wise. My only worry is that she wont like or tolerate the brand or type we buy and everything will be wasted. We switched our now 4yr old sons formula at like 4-5 months so i guess thats why im not sure if i should just wait till shes born or go ahead and buy some and maybe try to return the rest of the unused ones if she doesnt tolerate it? any tips from other moms?

My syllabus says:
Write a 700 word paper that identifies a contemporary myth prevalent in North American society. Describe how this particular contemporary myth has shaped your values, practices, and worldview. If the myth has not shaped you directly and personally, analyze how it has affected the society around you.
_____________________________________________

So is my instructor asking to just talk about any modern myth that we hear today, like the tooth fairy or something?

Any ideas? Please help!

I'm a bit of a girly reader, I like books I can relate to that have a woman as the main character.
I'm almost finishing The Devil Wears Prada and have recently read things like Tabloid Love, Cents and Sensibility, A Place Called Here (didnt like it), The ***** Goddess Notebook and Kathleen Tessaro's books - brilliant.

So I'm looking for something either similar to these girly monstrosities, or something that you've LOVED and need to share with me.

My husband and I bought a three toed box turtle yesturday.
We have it in a 50 gallon tank with bedding made with Douglas fir and pete moss. Theres a shaddy spot for her to go to and a shallow water dish big enough to lay in. We are feeding her romaine lettuce, carrots, and pears along with this food that the pet store owner gave us. We bought that 30 dollar light also. The humity runs about 70 percent and the temp is 85 on average right now.

I was wondering though...Besides ofcourse an outdoor habitat, does this one I decribed sound okay?
And can I use a flood light for the basting area? Along with the UB light we bought ofcourse.
And shes not eating right now, do you think its from the stress of moving into a much bigger living space?

BREAKING NEWS - Just moments ago, Senate Republicans succeeded in a filibuster in which they refused to end debate on Virginia Democrat Jim Webb's S. 2012, which would have placed strict limits on National Guard and reserve deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as mandating more downtime at home before active-duty combat troops are returned to battle.

The vote was 56-41 to end debate, with 60 votes needed to move to a full, up-or-down vote on the Webb measure. Once again, the GOP has been successful at destroying another Democratic attempt at helping service members and their families caught in the buzzsaw of the Bush administration's lies and incompetence.

They gave up Randy Johnson in the past too. In my opinion, they should get some slugger to replace Richie Sexton instead. Yankees, who has money, should get Ichiro, by getting rid of Damon.

My knee has been hurting me for about three weeks now. I first noticed it when I was playing in a softball game and I slid into second base. The next day it hurt very bad. And every day it has been painful. We tried iceing it and heating it and we treid a knee brace but none of those seem to work. My parents tell me every day oh you'll be fine, or it'll feel beter tommorow but it never does. Do you have any idea what i did to it? what do you think I should do. Finally should I use something to support it. Thanks for your help!
I AM 11
There is tenderness when I prees it and I can't bend it all that far. It hurts when I run and my parents still make me play ball on it.

im pretty sure that most of the ppl were from soudi arabia and only about 2 were from iraq. is it because it makes them feel better about themselves knowing that something is being done about their dead mom/dad/friend/child??
