When I and other non-believers have questioned Christians about why it is that God endorses slavery in the Bible, the most common Christian response has been that slavery was such a way of life for the people of that time that God had to speak to them in a way that they could understand and/or relate to. In other words, as one Christian said, “God had to work with what he had. He wasn’t endorsing slavery.” My question is: Why then, as man morally/socially evolved to the point where slavery became a controversial and debated issue, to the point that a massive war was fought (Civil War) about it, did God not update the Bible or speak to man to straighten out the issue? Even though things ended up working out in the end and slavery is now illegal, thousands of men died horrible deaths fighting for/against the cause and generations of black people were whipped, raped, and mistreated before the issue was somewhat resolved. Somewhere around 1600, could God not have somehow made it clear that slavery was evil? To this day, each of us could pull out the Bible and use it to make a sound religious argument that slavery is okay. Luckily, we have rational minds that tell us otherwise.

Our current resident stray, Bill, is a castoff pet. He's been in fairly good health until recently. One front leg is injured and he won't put any weight on it. The other front leg has a scratch and is swollen. My MIL has been feeding strays for several years now, and many of them have ended up in our house (a duplex). She is older and has no money to burn. We have two cats of our own to support. My husband & I are of differing opinions. One of us feels that Bill should be taken to MADAC and that even if he is put down he'll be better off in light of the upcoming Wisconsin winter and the fact that he'll likely suffer more as time goes on. The other feels that he should be left to live out his life naturally. Another concern is that my MIL may decide to bring him in the house and he is an intact male. My MIL has been feeding strays for years now, and literally 100's have passed through our lives. Bill won't be the last. Providing vet care for all these strays is not an ....

Being 14, i'm in school and like every other kid in school, I complain like hell about homework and teachers to my parents. But every time I even begin to give out about one thing or another, the only answer I seem to get is "your school days are the best days of your life." Now fair enough if its true, but is it? Is it the truth or just a myth???

Okay - I don't have children, but hopefully one day I will have lots! I just ask this question to find out what you all think about this topic. I know there are some very strong opinions about this but please be respectful. I honestly don't know where I stand yet. I have a good career (social worker), but it is so very stressful and sometimes I think it would be nice to get out of it when I have children. But if I did, my husband's salary (Baptist preacher) wouldn't be near enough to live on. Plus, I wonder what some of our congregation and conservative friends will think if I want to work after I have children. What do you do and why?

I don't know how to feel.Im lost.I want so bad to understand what the need for this type of awful visual stimulation is.Why am I not enough and how do I trust again?He said its because Im not fun anymore.Wow that makes me feel good!There are other factors he said but all of them amount to the fact that he isn't happy sexually with me anymore.I am so hurt and betrayed.This isn't the first time either.Thats what hurts the most.I told him it bothered me and I saw it as form of cheating,but he did it anyways.I have no problem with looking with him but I just don't see the need as much.We have done just about everything sexually and I don't get how he can be so damn selfish.

I know I have made a lot of bad choices in my life including marrying my ex-wife and having a daughter with her. Even though she was a nice person, she took everything she could money wise after I worked so hard to make it happen. I also supported her studies, time off job, financial laissez-fair. She demanded alimony, child support and now I am unemployed, making less than her and she won't support change in CS without a fight. And on top of it, she is always the outgoing happy social person that doesn't really plan on getting an 8 to 5 job. How can I make her life miserable? Any success stories out there?

My current boyfriend now just turned 20 in sept. and I at 16 is turning 17. Do you think Parents should know if I am dating a much older Guy? Is it true that age really dont matter in some cases? Is it or can it be a healthy relationship?

More Details:
My current boyfriend is yea, 20 !!! well, he is very honest with me when and if I ask questions about anything and everything. I heard some rumor about him having a kid, so I asked him, and he told me yes he May have, but his ex from yrs. ago wont have a DNA test done on the kid to find out if it is his or not, he has tried many times to give her money to take care of the child, just in case it is his, but she does refuz to let him do anything...I'm so happy he was honest with me abt it, and I honor him for that....It doesnt bother me either that he might have a kid.but I need to know is it healthy 2 be in this kind of relationship with a older guy like this....Weve been togather 3 months.

t2 = 1.265 sec

THEN IT SAYS: Q7 shows on offest in the "zero" point. You must add the half quantity to the offset to find the scale's value for 1/2Max.

We'd fight and die for our country. We do it every day. If a terrorist were to attack my lib neighbor, despite how much I dislike my lib neighbor, I'd put a bullet between the eyes of the terrorist. All I'd want in return is a "Thanks".
America isn't perfect. Libs make a few claims that are correct, but most are baseless and far out. There's cons that make some pretty far out statements too, but overall, I like my side better, because we'd NEVER tear this great (but imperfect) country down!
