"That notion that things can just get changed is scary for a lot of people who worry that a church with a very strong authority center could influence a public leader by suddenly getting a new revelation that has an impact on public policy." This was said by Rev. Mouw, of the Southern Baptist church, about the LDS church, and having a Mormon in the Oval Office. My question is, what revelation could POSSIBLY impact public policy to THIS degree? I don't know what revelation could possibly be this important?

Do you have any ideas?

Does it really affect you, atheists? If you really believe what you say you do, according to what I know about it, you have no reason to care what other people believe about religion! If it doesn't hurt you, and it doesn't hurt those who do practice religion, why do you spend so much time trying to convert everyone else to atheism?

why do you bother coming on Y/A and debating?

Don't say it's because religious people are annoying. That's not a thoughtful answer.

"Some groups such as Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses appear to attract a large number of converts ("in-switchers"), but also nearly as large a number of apostates ("out-switchers"). It is also interesting to note that Buddhists also fall into this category of what one might call high-turnover religious groups."

I have just moved from the UK to the USA. I miss home a lot. If you moved to a different country (or maybe you did) what do you think you would miss most about your home country?

A woman, calling Mount Sinai Hospital, said, "Hello, I want to know if a patient is getting better."

The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is the patient's name and room number?"

She said, "Yes, darling! She's Sarah Finkel, in Room 302."

He said, "Oh, yes. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, she's going to be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours and if she continues this improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday."

The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! Oh! That's fantastic! That's wonderful news!"

The man on the phone said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be a close family member or a very close friend!"

She said, "I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Cohen, my doctor, doesn't tell me a word!"

The state of NH came out with a new law this year requiring the ABS and TRAC dashboard lights to be off.

I had the inspection done at an independent mechanic. The car passes inpection except for the ABS and TRAC lights.

I went to Volvo and they didn't even know about the new law yet. However, they looked it up and found it in the new book. They quoted $720 for a new computer module and labor.

My question is, how can I get around this? Even they said it was a silly law and that the brakes work irregardless.

I wouldn't sacrifice safety, but I've been driving under this condition for years.

Any ideas? Thanks.

About three months today i paid all my creditors and i was owndering how long does it take to show on my credit report that they're paid off so that i can actually get a job. i was recently turned down (a month ago) from a job due to my credit report. It seems that i can't get a job with my bad credit. I paid it all off so i was wondering how long does it take to show that i am okay with my creditors.

Hi, I'm going to be getting a tooth removed, and I'm a huge needle phobic. I have heard they can give you laughing gas, however, the dentists my insurance covers, they are not approved to use laughing gas. I don't know what to do. I don't want to aviod this because I need it. But I can't get past my fear of needles, its been passed down from my family. Taking deep breathes, looking away, doesn't help for me. Please don't tell me to man up because its alot harder than you think. Any help? :(

On IMBD, I saw that this Sunday instead of Deperate housewives, something else is going to be on. And then the Sunday after that, a re-run of the first episode of this season is gonna be on. So when is Desperate Houseives going to continue?

Also . . .

In the beggining of the previous episode, Mary Alice said that "Somebody is going to lose a husband and everybody is going to lose a friend".

I think for sure that Victor Lang is dead. So that covers the husband death.

And then as for the friend, I'm really not sure but it better not be a main character.

My '92 legend brake lights remain on, even when the car is off. I've tried a number of things to stop this from happening. Fuses are all good. Replaced the battery. Unplugged the lights. But none of them has remedied my problem. Need something to point me in the right direction.

I'm 15 and my mother has been with her stupid @$$ boyfriend ever since my Daddy died! He's ruining our relationship between my mother and I. I even confronted her with this problem and she doesn't listen to me. I'm so depressed and I don't know what to do! I hate him so much! Whenever I try to talk to my mom seriously, he calls at the 'right' moment and she just leaves our conversation ... I'm so tired of this!! What do I do?
