I would like to hear of examples that people have experienced where Evangelicals or Fundementalists have twisted the bible to a ridiculas point.

It is very clear that the bible was intended to be interpreted in light of the Traditions that the early disciples passed down through the generations and other less authoritative texts.

Because Pastors interpret the bible based on their own experience and their "flock" do the same is that why there are 37,000 different protestant denominations out there all believing that they are the single peope who have interpreted the bible right.

When evangelicals say people should read the bible for themselves are they inviting them to create another disunified Church.

I am sure this isint what Jesus wanted. However I would really like to hear of examples where they have taken verses out of context and why you think they are in error in their interprertation.

Maybe it was the coffee!

I heard a rumor (from a blackjack player) that the Flamingo Las Vegas will be closing February 2008. he said he got a flyer from Harrahs telling them they could play at other properties and transfer their play rating. Anyone else heard this?

Thanks!

was watching a show about India this evening and noticed that most major places have changed their name. Bombay has become mumbai, Calcutta has become Kolkata, Madras has become Chennai. What is the reason? is it because the original were the british names?

I used formula a/b - c/d = (a-c)/(b+d):
8/6 - 2/3 = (8-2)/(6+3) = 6/9,
but the book says the answer is 2/3.
What did I do wrong?

What has happened to our legal system? According to the Jury, Ramos and Compian broke the law. They have the right to request an appeal. I have never once heard Lou Dobbs claim that they were innocent of the charges.

S This is emberassing, but I am about to take my son back from my sister.?
I had a drinking problem and recieved a P.I. and my son had to move into my sister's home while I attended an intensive outpatient program. After that, I recieved a D.W.I. and let him stay with her until I cleaned up my act. I am ready now, doing very well and very happy as a matter of fact (I actually love the 12 steps-they are life skills). I know she is going to fight me tooth and nail over this, legally. I will go to any lengths to keep my son and do whatever is necessary in order to do so. Who can help me prepare for this upcoming battle? I finally have the guts as he alwyas comes over crying and saying how awful it is there (she's very demeaning and controlling and argues non-stop), but it is nothing that would carry any weight. She used to cocaine and dated a dealer, etc. She put this in her pass and is very successful now and I respect that, but I will never be "good" in her eyes. Nobody is. Please don't think I just want to play mom out of the blue.

art clicked the yellow icon, and after it starts the scanning, it stops and tells me that cannot continue due to an "error", but I tried in vain to find out what it was, but to no avail. Can someone please tell me what's all about? Thank You!

So the other day my girlfiend went to the store. When she got there, she found out that they were all out of Pepsi. She had to go to another store across town to get it, which meant she was an hour late coming home.

She didn't have the common courtesey to call me and tell me this, so I was angry at her when she got back. One thing led to another, and I ended up giving her a black eye.

I don't like having to do this- it makes me feel bad when I lose control. So my question is what do I do about this problem? I've come to accept that I need things a certain way, and my girlfriend says she wants to be better so I don't have to do this. Any suggestions?

Wouldn't it have been a more "courageous" choice to come forward and admit the harm done to his hunting comrade?

If Katherine Armstrong hadn't come forward at the King Ranch to reveal the mishap, would Cheney have tried to keep it a secret?

Where do the Republicans dig up this type of ilk for conveying hero status?

Just a little background info. first...I currently have a degree in Marketing, and although I'm very happy having it, I'm really looking for a job that I can feel some self worth with and one that I can really feel like I am making a difference.

Here is my dilemma:

I don't know if I'd like to pursue an administrative role in veterinary services, and also get certified as a vet assistant so that I can perhaps cross train and take on both roles, OR go for the vet technician program.

Both sound ideal to me, so I really need some REAL input from those in these types of positons, on advantages/disadvantages of both, whatever they may be. Also, which is more rewarding, and what's likely to pay more. Possibly the difficulties each present. How difficult are the courses that are needed for these positions?

Also, do you think having a business degree and/or experience will help with either of these positions?

Thanks a bunch for any advice you can give! :)
