So more people are paying attention to global warming. Gore won an Academy Award; people are buying Prius's. All good. Most people in the world could care less.

What earth affecting event needs to occur before everyone on this planet will give up their civil wars and petty squabbles and join together to solve this problem? And when it does, will it be too late to do anything about it?

Personally, I’d be an 8.5 or 9 because I’m just a little bit superstitious. I don’t like seeing the moon rise red and my new years eves always suck for some reason. Neither science nor logic can explain this so I remain incomplete in my atheism. But I vehemently reject the possibility of an afterlife and the bible to me is a load of primitive, meaningless, nonsense stories.

I am trying to understand Catholicism, and I ask these questions with the uptmost respect.

1. Why do you have to confess your sins to a priest? What are the "spiritual ramifications" if one does not go to confession? Does it always have to be to a priest or can you confess your sins directly to God in prayer?

2. I know the Catholic Bible is different due to the Apocrypha. Why the difference?

3. Why a Pope?

4. Speaking of Popes,.. the current Pope recently released a statement addressing the Catholic church as "the one true church". I understand this to be due to the claim of being able to trace their roots to the days of the apostles, but are persons of other Christian faiths (I am a Lutheran, for example, but Baptists, Methodists.. you get the point)... not really Christians then? What "happens" to them, from a Catholic viewpoint?

5. Can someone please explain purgatory for me? How was it discovered to exist?

When my ex and I split up...he kinda took the debt w/ him. I had no credit cards in my name & still don't. He had a few in his name & we used them for different things. When we moved out of our house, he took the big items like the couches, big screen tv, computer, fridges,washer & dryer. Some things we paid cash for others we put on the credit card. Okay in my storage I don't have any of the expensive items maybe just the end tables, coffee table, our bedframe, etc. He doesn't help me w/ the kids money wise. I buy them everything, clothes, haircuts, shoes, etc. Well now he's crying that I should be helping him pay his debt off, that it's messed up that the credit cards are in his name & he's left with the debt. He wants me to give him money each month to put towards one of the cards. I started to feel bad & have been thinking about taking over one of the cards & paying it off. Should I do that even though he don't help me w/ the kids? He even says I owe him $200 because we had a

I just starting playing and am trying to figure it out. My question is, at what distances should I be using each type of disc? Specifically, when should I be using a putter?

Also, I'm currently just using an innova Shark, but am looking to buy more discs. I'd like to get a driver, but do not know if I should bother with a putter until I get better. Distance wise, I have no problem getting in the area of the basket in 2 throws, but need to work on my accuracy. Would a putter help with that, or do I just need practice?

Finally, the Shark has a speed rating of 4 and is 180 grams. How much distance should I expect to pick up with say a 165-170 gram Valkyrie? (speed rating of 9)

I really want to go to the University of Hawaii. The program and environment seem to suit me perfectly. I don't see myself getting into a top 25 school, so I'm thinking I should go where I'll be happy. However, I am concerned about my career and am wondering how UH might hinder me. I plan on taking the Japan-focused program, as I plan on working for a multi-national company in Japan. I currently work for one of the world's largest and most prestigious law firms. I'm also a natural "hustler" and feel I can adequately handle myself in any networking/interview situation. I would like to work for an investment bank, like Deutsche Bank. Any advice?

I'm an agnostic raised in a nonreligious home and I just wanted to read the bible to get a point of view. Also it's supposed to be a great piece of lit. Also it's apparently the atheist's greatest piece of evidence. There's so much discussion on it and I've never read it. I searched for bibles but there's so many different versions... Which version is most standard?
