Society & Culture - 5 July 2006

i believe that we do not choose our beliefs or our opinions (and no, beliefs and opinions are not the same thing).

for example, let's say you believe that there are only 9 planets in our solar system. well i'll pay you $10,000 to believe that there are 50 planets in or solar system. you can't do it. you can LIE and SAY that you believe there are that many planets in our solar system, but you can't actually FORCE yourself to believe it.

how is believing in god any different? i don't believe in god, but i didn't CHOOSE not to believe. it's just...... what makes sense to me.

please don't try to enter proof into the equation. we can't prove that there aren't 50 planets in the solar system any more than we can prove that there is or isn't a god.

we believe in things based on what makes sense to us. how can we possibly control that then???

My best (guy) friend dates a girl who is a little "thick" but used to be sort of overweight. She is a really sweet girl and treats him great and I have no problems with her. She doesn't really like him to hanf out with me because she feels threatened (I have no feelings for my friend what so ever). When I am around she gets very upset when he refers to any single person (even if it's not her) as "fat". She says it makes her feel bad that he is calling people fat in front of her when I am there. To top it off, all of her friends are overweight and seem to absolutely hate me. What's the deal?

A if cut a little L as l leaves I A an m cut is rri so the name of god is Iarri who was larry but because of propriatory rights changes it to larri so that italian could understand it.
but maybe they are under the rule of the Prince of Darkness now?

and just cause god is no longer first doesn't give you a right to disrespect. or He might request help from the new god of heaven to launch Jihad. but old god usually handles things himself not like you gang *******?

I'm not saying that I do or don't believe it, but could it be possible. And why is there no mention of Jesus for so long in the Bible?

The people who own the agencies.Found in newspaper adds.ask you for a $160/$200 deposit. for like a security and a guaranty for them to save the place that you want. (so they say) What's the whole point of that? Isn't it kind of a rip of?

This is the first time for me trying to get a place. And i don;t want to get Dicked or anytihng you know. Adn I even asked them:" if I dont like any of the places. Do I get my money back?" And they said no.I called them to check out a place. I thought it would be so easy and then theyre kind of like cock blocking with all of thesethese catches they have!!

I mean Ive had places that would just give me 3 keys to houses and appartments and the adress . So i can go check out the places myself, bymyself. give them a $10 deposit first. The deposit which I got back when I brought the keys back.

And other I would call , we set and appointement and they show me around their propreties.

Can someone help me out..I know a little but not too much

A lot of churches these days have few if any ORDAINED ministers. In the past, it was the norm and not the exception. Still, most pastors don't seem to see any problem with this change in qualification. Leads a person to wonder what ORDINATION actually means in the pastoral context.

The language this impersonator uses is vulgar and reflects no love or compassion , a quality that the real Dr. Dino has.

You've probably seen it before. Not only is it slander, but it shows reasoning highly insulting of a mind like Einstein's. Any idea who originated this fraud?

-----

The University professor challenged his students with this question"Did God create everything that exists?"A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"God created everything?" The professor asked,Yes sir", the student replied:The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil."The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Are his deeds not the same? Did he not prform miracles? Can only a church make people divine? We worship saints that were human, but Jesus couldnt have had a wife? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I was just wondering how many decent people are using the internet for good things. I am trying to spread The Gospel. Seems like the majority out there are trying to spread filth or ask about filth. Jesus loves you.
