IRAQ WAR > American troops ( approx all are Christians) have killed 40 thousand (40,000) Muslim casualties reported and 200,000 (200 thousand) innocent Muslim civilians injured, on the basis of Weapons of Mass destruction, which has not yet been found in Iraq.(http://www.iraqbodycount.net/)
Afghanistan war >>>>Estimates suggest US bombs have killed at least 3,767 innocent Muslim civilians in Afghanistan, on the basis of Osama bin laden, whose involvement is not yet proved behind 9/11 attacks. Condoleeza Rice, in front of media, claimed on 23th september 2001 that America have proofs of involvement of bin laden behind 9/11 attacks. The whole world is STILL waiting for that proofs. >>> Isn't IT TERRORISM? If not, then what's terrorism?( Http://www.cursor.org/stories/... )
From such high massacre done by Christian community, we can easily conclude that Christians are terrorists.

Yes- studies have shown some people are in fact born gay. Hormone deficiencies are a main cause to this. I'm pro-gay, choice, whatever. I'm just curious as to why, if God loves us so much, would he condemn those that he has created...? When I used to go t ochurch, I was taught to love all and hate none. I was taught to forgive and love my neighbor as myself. I still hold true to these values, even if I do not agree with the church.

Although the scandals tend to get blown up and out of proportion by the media (not making excuses for the guilty ones), the Catholic Church never said that it didn't have sinners, and neither did Jesus ever promise that sinners would not be in His Church. In fact, scandal was with the Church from the beginning. The biggest scandal was Jesus (God in the flesh) being tortured and murdered for no good reason, and His apostles scattering with one denying knowing Him and another being the one to betray Him.

But if you believe what it says in the bible:

- that Jesus is God and that God's wisdom is above our own

-that Jesus gave His authority to His Church, and in particular to Peter and his successors (the popes), to teach in all matters of faith and morals

Then why not be Catholic if the teachings of the Catholic Church are true?

This is an excellent link that I have found:

May God bless you.

I've been to 20 states and Washington, DC, (TX, AR, LA, TN, KY, WV, VA, IN, IL, OH, MO, KS, MS, AL, GA, FL, MD, NJ, PA, NY) so I'll admit I'm not well traveled. I've heard good and bad things about every place--and truth is, that rule is true. In my experience...

Best:
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi

Worst:
Kentucky, Ohio, Florida

My goal is to visit all 50 states to develop a more mature and intelligent opinion of the states. However, my parents have been to every state east of the continental divide, and my dad has been to a few additional ones west of it, but their list is the same as mine in some ways, and different in others. Oh yeah, I live in KY.

KY: Rude, impatient people despite its claims of Southern hospitality.
TN: beautiful state. Not my top pick, but maybe top 5 or 6. Has much to offer.
MS, AL: beautiful states, love the rolling hills and friendly people
TX: Like a whole nother country!
IN, OH, IL: Flat, boring, with rude folks

I could go on but won't.

I don't know how the first Pope came to be. I took a Christian History class a while ago, but I don't remember if we even discussed it. Also, how many Popes have there been? I really want to know. No rude answers, I'm just curious. Thanks!

Just read an article in McCalls magazine that many women are using "high-tech" adult diapers that feel dry and don't leak or have odor under their clothes for convenience purposes. These are younger women and are not incontinent - just find them convenient vs. standing in long bathroom lines, etc. Any ladies heard of this or partaken?

Before any of you start getting all offended. I am a devout Christian and a U.S. patriot. My family's been in this country since 1675: freeborn Black American property owners.
This is really an historical question. This is not an attack on Catholics or Americans. I am asking you to consider their records. The Roman Catholic church has the inquistions, stake burnings, indugences, and the corruption of cultures world-wide. But, the U.S. gov. virtually exterminated the so-called Indians, dropped the bomb, unnecessarily, twice on Japan. And, has continued to rob, intimidate, poison, and lie, world-wide almost non-stop from the beginning.

Any comment about Islam or Muhammad will end up offending them. Maybe your answer will prove my point.

i am in customer service for a veterinary hospital - our company has high expectations that area - as do i ! so when i go to places - i am always aware of how i'm treated.

i had this weird thought while i was in walmart the other day.

Do you ever remember what the cashier looked like when you got home - have you ever thought about it?

Does the cashier make conversation with you? or is it the
same old "hi how are you" "total is 152.32" "have a good day"
("have a good day" is optional if not rare)

If you are buying groceries - would you be annoyed if
the cashier (being a very nice/sincere person) made small
talk with you about the things you were buying?
- assuming that -
everything she would say - would be a positive thing, for example "ohh i love this ice cream- it's good" or.."my husband loves these razors" or "this is a great eye shadow - i'm going try it too"

if i worked as a cashier , i would be the girl making small
talk, does the average grocery shopper want that?
