I read the book "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair a few years ago and since then I haven't eaten beef or pork.
Have you ever had a similar experience?

God told Adam and Eve not to eat the apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They disobeyed God (presumably a sin/evil), and were banished from Eden. The banishment seemed to the consequence of three things: (1) they disobeyed God; (2) they became aware of their nakedness; and (3) they were apparently deceived by the Devil.

The problem with the above three points is that if they are all connected to sin, how would Adam and Eve have known these were sin/evil actions prior to eating an apple that supposedly contains Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Furthermore, if both were created in God's image, it suggests they were created imperfectly, with the imperfection (apparently) being Free Will. So the original sin story seems to boil down to God giving Adam and Eve Free Will, along with insufficient knowledge to make (moral) decisions--which presumably is contained in the Apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. So who committed the original sin?

In the 50's you used to be able to trust people. You used to be able to leave doors unlocked. Now, you need locks, alarm systems, and surveillance cameras. Schools have metal detectors. More weapons in school. Weapons of mass destuction. Greater diseases like STD's, AIDs, and bird flu Parents killing and abusing children. Do you think society will continue to downfall in more people don't take action?

Most of us whenever we answer the phone, for example, we response by saying; yes it’s me, Cathy. Now, and according to my teacher English such a statement is wrong. In term of English grammar, the correct answer has to be: IT IS I, Cathy. Is that true, and why? Help

This question is for Christians! How many Christians have went to see the Davinci Code? Why or why not? I personally have not seen it, and have no interest in doing so.

However, a few Christians say they plan to see it, so they can offer correction to unbelievers who may later have questions.

What do you all think?

Matthew 6:6 (New International Version)

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.


All good Christians I am sure will want to obey our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not pray in public, but pray in private, and get a reward.

If they dont believe in any religion, they need not provoke others by posting questions that make them sound so stupid and ignorant. I would suggest strong Christians and Muslims should avoid answering questions that offend them, because by doing so we are falling into their traps of succeeding in their offence against pur religions! Dont bother to explain and answer those sinful questions just for the sake of the 2 points., because people like these simply like to condemn more than appreciate our answers and explanation. Simply because they are not GOD fearing, they like to bad-mouth about other religions, so just avoid them and leave their questions answered by their own peers.

I saw a license plate frame on a car in a parking lot that said "you call me bi*tch as if that was a bad thing." This made me so sad for whoever the woman is that I left a sticky note on the car saying "re: your license plate frame.......SAD!"
It really is sad.
