Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God's law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye's shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

Assume that I'm an atheist (although I'm really not). Convince me that there is a God. Real answers please and nothing that takes up too much space. Sometimes less is more. I simply don't have all day to read an explanation. I'm just curious as to how one can convince another who refuses to believe in God. So go ahead...convince me!

EVITE (www.evite.com) makes it as easy to RSVP as pushing a button, yet many don't & still show up.

How do I deal with these people? They are otherwise very nice people & we want them at the party. We just want to know if & when (we throw three-day parties) they are coming and if they might be spending the night.

The last Evite reminder said:

"I'll be doing my shopping tommorrow so if I could get a final word on who thinks they are going to be here, that would be great. I've also gotten some calls asking what people are bringing. If you are thinking of bringing something (totally optional), it would be handy to include that info on the RSVP so we don't get 5 bowls of potato sald like we did one year.

If you want to reserve a room, please RSVP as soon as possible.

Everything else depends on who shows up and with what. It's hard to plan anything when you have no idea who's coming & when. So please RSVP."

Blunt enough?

Is it you who cause them to grow into crops, or do We? If We so pleased We could turn these crops into chaff, and you would then be left lamenting, "We have incurred penalties! Ah, we are undone!"

People, both men and women, often get jealous of me, and that is very unsexy. And other girls get jealous of the girls I’m with, which makes them look immature and stupid.

I'll try to answer my own question before letting anyone else get in on this... I am in the 90th percentile in terms of attractiveness. When I go out, I notice that over 90% of guys are inferior to me in the looks department, and even the majority of females don’t stack up to me in terms of beauty. Guys wish they were as cool as me, and females who aren't with me want me to get in their pants... and they look at other girls as a threat.

My advice to such people: GET A LIFE OUT THERE! And please, don't bother telling ME to get a life. I'm at work, making good money, and never post in the evenings, as I have better things to do... like hot chicks. ;)

Wow! Every question I ask leads me to another one! I appriciate your answers though!

Now here is this one:

I have read in these answers that God will provide a second chance to those who were not able to know him while they were on earth. Others say that all will get another chance. Some say that no one will.

I would like an actual verse from the bible that describes who will get the second chance if any. I know that the handicapped and the children who haven't reached the age of accountability will go into heaven but I am asking about everyone else. Please provide an actual bible verse to back up your answer. Thank you

Why is it that a suposedly Christian person can sit and belittle others beliefs (life style, ect) and feel superior, and it is ok in thier eyes? Didn't Jesus preach tolerance? Did i miss the "its ok to be a bigot" class in Sunday school?

My prayers to the Golden Calf are twenty times more powerful than any of your prayers to Jesus. My Golden Calf even sends email confirmation to let me know he got the message. Where's your god now, Moses?

There is a lot of knashing of teeth on this Shuttle misson launching this weekend.

Yes, there ARE a lot of enept managers in/at NASA who have no concept of engineering/science fundamentals, and the Challenger was just one instance of which management overrode safety concerns, and decided to launch anyway, but then pointed the finger when things did not go as planned(but then, passing the buck in FAILURE has become america's national pastime. You don't see too much finger pointing in success, do we?).

But I can tell you as an engineer, Space travel will NEVER be "safe", strapping yourself basically to a
rocket going several miles per second, and a ehigh level of complexity. SAFE is when you are dead, that's the only time in life any of us will really be safe. Not in your home, not in a monster truck/suv, and not on the Shuttle.

If given the shot to go on a flight, and the odd's are 1 in 100 I will not make it, then that is what I consider an acceptable risk. I wish I could go!

Using scripture as a reference how does one become saved. I've heard may different ways: praying Jesus into your heart/sinners prayer; baptism (full emersion); accepting Jesus; etc.

Can doing one of these things alone make one saved or is it a combination of things? Please prove your view using scripture.

I do not believe in races, however I recognize ethnic differences.
I refuse to say AFRO-AMERICAN.
I do not say HISPANIC.
I do not complain when I am not called german-, scottish-, swedish-, english- american or even euro-american
white is fine even though my skin is as far from white as a black person's skin is from black.
i do not believe in affirmative action, although I believe every individual should also not be denied a job because of skin color. reason> a black child does not starve worse because the family has no income nor does a white child, therefore I believe that there should be no preference either way-first qualified come, first qualified served!
does this make me racist?
