I am truly sorry. I have realised that tolerance of others is a far better path. I apologise to all I have offended with my hatefulness.

If we were to bring back Jesus right here and now, I would agree with everything he says. If we brougth back Joseph Smith, would you agree with EVERYTHING that he preaches? How could you follow someone who used to believe blacks were cursed and practiced polygamy? Shouldn't the founder of your faith be totally innocent of anything questionable? Please don't be offended. My best friend in mormon and I love her and her family. I am just curious about these answers. Thank you so much :)

My lover has four dogs and soon to be three cats. I moved in with him and promise to move in with him in his new house, just purchased. However; I don't like sleeping with the dogs in the bed. One small dog jumps onto the bed every night. In the middle of the night I feel like I'm sleeping in a mummy sleeping bag, because I'm unable to move.

The other night I BBQ steaks, and really was unable to enjoy the meal because the dogs noses where 4 four inches away from my plate. The other day the dogs where licking the utensil that I was using to flip over the food, on the BBQ pit. He loves animals!!! But I'm I crazy or are these unacceptable behavior patterns? I could use some advice, because I don't want to sleep or have sex in bed with the animals there. I've tried speaking with him, but he's so in love with his pets and becomes cold with the conversations. What do I do?

Is it a sin to be tempted? I think the answer is no.
What is temptation anyway? is it not a desire to do something? I think the answer is yes,
So Jesus was tempted. Therefore there arose in him (possibly only, in his flesh and not spirit). This means that he had to fight the desire to have what Satan showed him.
True?
Do you think that when God emptied himself and became man, that he desired to return to his rightful place above all creation, ruling, that tempted him?

I think becuase of the Holy Spirit I am aware of when I am being wrong and I think others are and should be and I try to be aware of my defects so I can work on them and I've come a very long way.....how many people are like that? I'm all about growing and improving but I think so many people are so stuck. I'd love to help them grow. We all have that voice telling us.

Obviously it is not wise to use the word when outnumbered & or when not willing to fight. It is not wise to use the word if you are a little whimp in front of a big ape. However it is rational to use the word in many circumstances especially when talking to other intelligent racially aware White folk that are capable of independent rational thought. Around the lemmings (stupid masses) the word will brand you as ignorant and other bad things they get from the mindles jew created slogans they parott. They are beyond hope anyhow. Anyone that has to be convinced that negroids are inferior say when it comes to intelligence or has bought into propaganda that states the races are equal or there are no races - anyone like that is too stupid to matter. so it is not wise to waste time trying to explain something to those that are not able to understand no matter what you say. Some things are obvious. Negroids are obviously what they are & those that can't figure it out or see for themselves

All of us humans are single handedly responsible for global warming. Scientist have looked back thousands of years and the temperatures have been steadily the same, but looking back starting 50 years ago, they have increased. I am not a treehuger trying to get you to save the rainforest of save the dolphins, I am a 14 year old boy trying to make a difference and yes I am trying to help out the best I can. You see, we let out tones of carbon dioxide by our cars, or electricity, so what you can do is go to americanforests.org to buy a tree. Trees help get read of the gases that cause global warming. Why should you care?? Well people think it isn't going to happen during our lifetime, but what they don't know is that it could take place as son as 2035. Think about your children and grandchildren..... that's going to effect them. Do something. Please don't call me stupid, don't say the Earth is going throught natural changes, because it did not put a hole in the ozone layer by itself.HELP!

I know it is stated that the Ark has indeed been found...don't beleive me? http://english.sdaglobal.org/evangelism/arch/noah.htm

Now what I want to know is if there is evidence that across the entire world there was a flood at the same time. I have been thinking about it and although there is evidence of a flood almost everywhere at some point in time was it all over the world at the same time?

During Noah's time there was no way to know who lived where and how big the world was so how do I know (besides faith) that the world wasn't just their village and the surrounding ones to them?

Many non-African-Americans supports civil rights. Yet, most of these advocates of civil rights would not feel comfortable in a group labeled "Black Panthers". Many African-Americans are friends with Caucasians, but they would not feel comfortable wearing a shirt which read "White Power". Obviously, these terms imply segregation and discrimination. They do not imply unity and equity.

In the same respect, most women would not wear a shirt which read "Masculinism". Not because they do not respect their fathers, brothers, husbands, or men in general. Simply because the term promotes segregation and discrimination, as well as contradicts the woman's own femininity. Why then do feminists not understand that men, (even those who are advocates of civil rights and equity) do not want to be labeled a "feminist" ? This term also promotes segregation and discrimination, as well as contradicts a man's masculinity.

Why can't civil rights activists, (including feminists) be labeled "Equalists" ?

An acquaintance that is not a Christian is now seeking a power greater than himself to help with his drinking problem. He sees people in AA chanting and praying to their higher power with great ambition yet he feels left out. The gentleman told me that he considers substance abuse a behaviour issue and needs to motivate himself to change that behaviour that is associated with drinking alcohol. He also said that he found it interesting that the people in AA are seeking ways outside themselves to change a behaviour that, in his view, can only be changed through introspection and challenging his thinking. AAers say that a door knob would be OK for a higher power if choosen. He also told me it is a spiritual issue and that he must find a spirit as well. I don't know what to tell the man.

4:82 “Have they not considered the Quran, if it came from someone other than God they will find in it many mistakes”.

Some of you are students, would you dare to hand in a paper after you completed a research work or something at the bottom you put down there “You wont find mistakes in this”. Would you dare to challenge your professor that way?. Well the Quran does that.

i once asked a Jewish scholar why they believed that Jews are the chosen people. he responded that the full phrase is that Jews are the chosen people to teach the word of God. Is this correct? Or is the conventional wisdom that Jews are God's favorite people the truth.? Seriously want to know. Thank you
