There have been so many reportings of certain right wing Christians organizing to disrupt the activities of others they disagree with such as their take over of the Republican party, disruption against Democrats, and other relgions they disagree with. This even includes other Christians that they think are not fundamental enough such as those who focus more on love than preaching hell fire. They are currently destroying Pagan communities by pretending to be Pagans, even organizing their own covens and creating much chaos. Tell here the stories you have heard of or even witnessed. Exposure of these things an excellent way to deal with it. What do you think?

Esau was a skilled hunter, known for his brute strength as well as for being particularly hairy. Jacob, on the other hand, was cunning. He snagged his brother's birthright by being crafty and deceitful, rather than demanding it at the point of a sword. And it was Jacob, not Esau, who changed his name to Israel and became the first official Jew.

What does it mean to get 'jewed'? Which of Isaac's sons reminds you more of a 'Shylock'? If Esau had become Israel instead, would Jews be sterotyped as athletes, rather than money lenders?

Obviously this is just a stereotype, and no more accurate than the one about Africans being good at sports, or Asians being good at math. Anyone who actually thinks these are valid seriously needs to get out more.

Never the less, the stereotype does exist. Which do you suppose came first, the stereotype or God's preference for Jacob?

Is it along the Mc/Mac divide or are names just more 'catholic' than others. Are there first names the other won't use? Like a RC would never name their child William or a Protestant would never name its son, Patrick.

Do you beleive that there was a worldwide flood just after Noah climbed aboard his ark? What is you scientific evidence do you have to support this idea? Do you think it was more of a flood in that region or are you in full support for the worldwide one?

Are you ready for it? Will you hide out in your basement or some underground shelter? I plan on packing up and heading for a place in the middle of the dessert.

Will it be like Independence Day where a bunch of small ships destroy all the large cities under the control of the mother ship or will it be like one giant destructive force making its way around the world?

Do you know your city's escape route for when the rapture hits?

Just making sure we are all ready!


Good luck everyone and I'll see you at the rendezvous point.

I prefer to switch it up depending on my mood and don't find myself attracted to people who are just "bottoms" - what about you?

And God had planned everything that was going to happen to you thru out your life before we were even born. My question/concern is if this is true....why does/did God have us/people die in such horrible ways? Cancer, murder, etc. Since we are his chlidren and our parents are only borrowing us until we go back to him, why do some people die in such horrific ways? This may not make sense and I believe in God, but sometimes I question my faith and I don't want to. I don't want to start a debate I just wanna know if anyone feels this way to and what they think about it even though we do not have the answers for it. Thanks in advance for the people who answer!!

I've just received an email of embarrassing town names where you might not want to live. One of these names is "Shitlingthorpe" in Yorkshire, UK. Is this REALLY a town's name???

When you go to fancy restaurants they always have several forks, as well as other cutlery. How can you know what utensils are for what part of the meal?
