Why is it when someone is beautiful and knows it, it comes across as coneited? I mean, just because everybody else is saying "oooh, I'm fat" or "ooooh, I'm ugly", doesn't mean I should have to say it just to make them feel better. I care about people, and I'm not conceited. I just don't know why people think this way. I don't want any "attention", I really want to know......because the way I look at it, everybody in the world is really good looking-just a bad gene here or there. Right?

I think that Athletics and Actors get paid way too much money for the work they do and what some Athletics and Actors make in just one year,.some people make in their lifetime and what they do for work is for enjoyment.

God calls out to Abraham and tells him that tomorrow morning he is to take his only son Isaac (Hagar and Ishmael had left, so Isaac was his heir and only son), to a hill at Moriah and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. The next morning Abraham gets together two servants and his son Isaac. He then collects some firewood for the burnt offering, and saddles up his donkey. The group then set off for Moriah.

The next day, Abraham sees the hill where he is due to sacrifice Isaac. He tells the two servants to stay put while he and Isaac go there to worship. Abraham carries the fire and knife, Isaac the firewood. While walking up the hill, Isaac asks his father where the lamb for the sacrifice is. Abraham replies by saying that God himself will provide the lamb for them. They then reach the top of the hill. Abraham builds a small altar there and he lays out the wood on top. He then binds Isaac to the altar on top of the wood and draw his knife, ready for the sacrifice.

I don't know sometimes I can't trust em. But how else can someone reach prosperity? I'm sure it was there way to become prosperous, but are they preaching tainted with that reason, or r they sincerely doing it for God and helping people know Jesus?

This is the nineteenth question of DOOM!!!

19. Do youthink that it is possible that all of Jesus's miracles were fabricatins, axaggerations, or metaphoric representations treated like literal fact by people that hoped to raise the bar so high noone else would ever possibly be able to meet it?

If this is the case, then from that point forth, anyone claiming to be a Child, Messenger, or Servant of GOD (particularly this messiah spoken of in the Old Testament) would have to do feats of equal or better fanciness in order to win our trust. They say Jesus was perfect (but they never took the time to set the parameters for this perfection), which means anyone claiming to be this messiah would also have to be perfect.

It's actually quite easy to claim to be the Messiah. All you have to do is be smart, help people, condemn evil, and be carismatic. Do you think it is possible that these things were fabricated to keep people from trying to claim to be the Messiah?

At my school they make fun of people who is darker than they are. That's dumb! Why would they make fun of each other for being dark-skin?

Concentration camp victims would tend to disagree that dieting did not work for them(in fact it worked extremely well). Of course they did not have the option of determining what and when they were going to eat.

Anyone claiming diets don't work, please report to Stockholm, Sweden to pick up your Nobel Prize in Physics, because you have just beaten God as his own game...

Does it matter to them that I used to be a born again Christian, until driven away for my believe in evolution,

Does it matter to them that I have a good paying job,

Does it matter that I read books about the Bible and the Qu'ran,

Does it matter to them that I have a Bachelor's degree,

Does it matter to them that I voted for George Bush once, (wasn't fooled twice),

Why does the theist only read the word atheist, and assume such things as I wouldn't care about human autrocities,
that I wouldn't stop a gang from dumping gasoline on another woman,
that I wouldn't stop a band of thugs from stoneing a woman,

why do they read atheist and assume I have no feelings,
why do they assume I am not worthy of being human,

when did the theist get such a stereotype of an atheist as these on yahoo answers today,

Do you get the British sense of humor? Most of the time I just don't get their humor at all.

Isn't it logical for me to assume that an atheist could advise the President on the same policy decisions?

Couldn't every decision he has made be defended by an atheist?

I beg you read details please, this question is too good for you to deny yourself the fullness of it.
