Famous people that actually exist have ties to people in the real world, hence the many descendent of our presidents, founding fathers, kings and queens of other countries, scientists, philosophers, and even religious figures such as Muhummad. If they don't have offspring, at the very least people can trace a relative to them through their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, mother or father and their offspring.

Confucius lived 500 years before Christ was supposed to have lived, and had 560,000 male descendants listed when his family tree was last updated in 1937. Over the next few years they'll include female descendents and the list is estimated to include over 3 million people. Can anyone name one person related to Jesus that isn't in the bible? He had several brothers and sisters, all of whom were Jewish, so they all would have reproduced had they existed. Why has no one kept up with Jesus' family tree?

I am totally smitten with cashmere, all types of sweaters, pillows, pants, shawls, blankets... I just love 100% cashmere, there's nothing that's as soft! Am I crazy for loving a fiber so much? If you feel the same, which company do you think makes the best cashmere? I'd have to say it's a tie between TSE and Pure Collection (UK)

Am I alone here?

The bad side to capital punishment is that innoncent people and/or people are being sentenced to death for petty situations. What is your take on the situation. Oh and by the way I am from and live in Texas where capital punishment is still the highest level of punishment.

Disclaimer: Not ALL atheists are brainwashed.

A common “argument” is that Christians are brainwashed into believing what they believe. However, many people who become Christians after the age of 20 are far from “brainwashed”, but come to this conclusion through reason, logic, and scientific evidence. C.S. Lewis, Josh McDowell, and Lee Strobel are all examples of atheists that became Christians through faith strongly supported by logic, reason, and science. I, too, am a living example. I use to be an atheist who sat down to prove the Bible wrong, foolish, contradictory, and/or antiquated or mythological.

And although I still see that some people who call themselves Christians act as if they are brainwashed (and they may or may not be true Christians; only God knows)…I have come to discern that many atheists are, in fact, brainwashed!

any new and yummy soup recipes? I'm tired of the usual ones I know and am wiiling to try new ones, since soup is pretty much all I can eat during Ramadan. I tried some recipes from the net but while they may sound nice they turn out to be not that nice after I try them. I want some recipes that you personally have tried and can guarantee are yummy! No vegetable, lentil, noodle, tomato ... etc etc please. I'm looking for something NEW. Thanks in advance.

to break. I got them form Nine West, the dispaly pair fit. They gave me a new pair from the back, and for some reason these feel smaller. Like I have to strech them out to fit my face. I even hear a crack sound when I put them on. I checked and no cracks. I don't have a big head! So I don't know if I should I take the back or what? What is their return policy?

...for real, when rocking out on some kind of loud, awful, brutal stuff that no one else you know would consider fit to commit to CD (or vinyl... or tape...) do you ever stop for a moment and wonder...

"Man, *why* do I like this????"

I do.

I mean, I don't think there is anything wrong with me because I like it. But I do wonder what elements of being allow me to recognize such a diverse array of sounds as enjoyable music, since the average Western Civilisation citizen does not.

And then, there was the time when the Beatles were considered the awful noise, so you know what that means... eventually this is gonna be popular... and *then* what will be the cutting edge sounds of "music"?
