A frequent comment here is that it's not possible to be a Christian and then NOT be a Christian (ie., people like me who were Christian and then became atheists).

I, for one (and I know MANY other atheists share this experience), believed as strongly in Christ as anyone. I wanted to be a Christian, to have a relationship with Christ, to be filled with the Holy Spirit...I wanted it so bad I could taste it. I read the Bible...I prayed...I listened for that small, still voice. I felt what I believed to be the presence of Christ, of the holy spirit, etc.

Yet now, I am not a Christian. I am an atheist.

According to many people here, I was never a "real" Christian, based on the fact that I am now an atheist. I wasn't doing it right, I didn't open my heart, I didn't open my mind...but at the time, I absolutely did.

So...if I wasn't "really" a Christian at that point, in spite of being absolutely certain that I was...how do you know YOU are a "real" Christian?

A representative of our grand ole republic represents us constitutionally as our founding fathers intended when they penned our rights onto the constitution(bill of rights) & into our representation. A politician(magician!) on the other hand resorts to "trickery, magic & illusions" to manipulate the public to the "magicians" best interest. Why do so many people classify their candidate as a politician(magician) instead of a REPRESENTATIVE? Now that you know the difference as the two words are NOT even field related, Is your candidate a representative or just a politician"magician"??? If you vote in a "magician" might it be concluded that YOU will be "tricked" by the "magician" as that's what "magicians" do for a living?!! Do you know of a presidential candidate that has a 100% PERFECT constitutionally based voting record(there is only one currently standing for office!). If so, compare that REPRESENTATIVE with your "magician" & see what you come up with! It's NOT hard to do!

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri has been studying influenza and has discovered that it disproves evolution. If evolution were true then the influenza virus would mutate rapidly and we'd need to get new flu shots every year.

But we don't need new flu shots every year. If we did, people would be lining up at clinic to get a flu shot sometime during the fall months. But this obviously doesn't happen.

To those of you who will say "But Vishal, this does happen! We do get new flu shots every year!" you don't realize that what doctors call a "flu shot" is actually a "spending shot." That's why you get them just before Christmas.

They drive people into a frenzy of spending to increase economic activity during the winter months. It's all a plot by the wicked atheists to push capitalism on the unsuspecting masses.

Since the influenza virus doesn't mutate, evolution is false.

Thank you.

My landlord is trying to evict us. She has harrassed me about money due for rent but refuses to fulfill the obligations of a resident manager. When I moved in to my residence there was a list of repairs I requested done. She has not done any of them stating that the repairs are not important and needed. Repairs such as replacing a broken window, sealing cracks around the bathtub where you can look down into below the trailer, cracks around the air unit where cold air is coming in to the trailer, two doors that will not close properly and leave the trailer easy accessible to theives. What do I do?

I find myself being addicted to sex. My girlfriend can’t satisfy my sexual need, so I find myself thinking more of sex. I was never like this; this started from a significant career leap at work. I signed up in the company's gym with a personal trainer to get in shape. I look better and feel great physically. With more money in my pocket to party, and carry out my personal fantasies, I find myself looking over attractive women in clubs and public places more than ever, even thinking of having sex, and not shying away from giving a flirtiest, Hello. I honestly think I am going thru a phase of sexual debauchery with my new found success. I am not a rapper, so what the hell is going on? :-(

its obvious that someone will butt who i have come up with a few ideas
bobby lashley - apparentley near return, had had a few tag matches against khali before injury and it coud be a way to annoy mcmahon
shane mcmahon - don't forget he is hornswoggles half brother and he is angry with his dad for thinking that he was onli interested in money when he "died"
edge - could go face (after he reaised fans didn't like him when he relinquished title - he was crying last time we saw him) and could want revenge on khali for stealing the title which he lost to batista (who edge didn't want to face again)
finaly - less than likely as he is 5 on 5 match but could be a way to write him out of the match if matt is out also friends with hornswoggle
kane - also unlikely as he has had quite a big running feud with khali
mick foley - recently friends with hornswoggle
any one else i have missed
or less likely than other no one will interrupt and hornswoggle will run off or get demolished

Okay, I have a turtle named Snapper, he's a red-eared slider, and I think he's sick. His shell is reallly soft, and he doesn't do anything but float around all day. I know he's alive because every once in a while he'll take a few strokes, but what's wrong with him? Also, he hasn't grown since I got him six months to a year ago.

I'm so confused !

I believe that any color can be suitable with hand nails but it's not the same with toe nails !

when i put dark colors i feel like my toes nails are dirty !
(eg: black , brown)

and when i put light i feel that my feet look darker !
(eg: red )

Or maybe i have ugly toes cuz i'm tall lol

Anyway .. what's the best color for toe nails ?

Oh my skin color is light tanned if that helps


Thnx ^___^
