What do you think? Do teenagers really still think it's cool to smoke or what? Lately it seems like only the "losers" smoke.

I heard yesterday that someone thinks the Jews are ruling us, and it's a big global conspiracy. Don't take this as me being racist, I like jews, I think they've achieved a lot, especially in finance where I work, amazingly gifted in that field. Just wondering what this was all about......

Judaism values ethics above both doctrine and reason. The growing awareness of pain and harm connected with circumcision leads to questions about ethical considerations. How do we begin to justify the practice of circumcision on ethical grounds? It is significant relative to this question that, according to an authoritative book on Judaism, "the Torah prohibits the torture or causing of pain to any living creature."47 Now that we know some of the consequences of circumcision, Jewish law (Lev. 19:11; Exodus 23:1) obligates us to be open and honest about it. In addition, we may ask if, given a choice, we would consent to being circumcised. If not, then considering Hillel's encapsulation of Judaism: "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow-creature" (Sab. 31a), should we force circumcision on another?

Significantly, virtually all that has been written about circumcision over the centuries ignores the infant's experience.

"Why do christians say that their religion is true and other religions are false?"


Not exactly written like that, but it's like that. The ones I see come with more stupidity.

Ok I'm being serious here, this is not a slam on islam or its people. I only know from the US media that in certain middle eastern countries women have to wear the burkha outside and accompanied by a male. Other countries its just the covering of the hair. I have heard this is to keep women from tempting men. What is the rationale behind this?

If God rested, blessed, the seventh day & said to keep it holy and to remember the sabbath day(Gen 2:2-3)(Exod 20:8-11)(Deut 5:12) which is Saturday(fri-he died Sat-he rested Sun-he rose)
"the sabbath was made for man." Mark 2:27 man = all mankind world wide..amazingly can't find sabbath for jews anywhere?
Jesus said "if you love me keep my commandments" John 14:15
Would Jesus kept his fathers commandments?
Would you also follow Jesus footsteps seriously if you loved him that much 110%

"And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die"


I wonder which christian will be fist to excuse tis by using one of the following excuses :

1) saying that it has to be taken in context

2) saying that it has to taken in the context of the time it was written

3) saying "oh, but that's the old testament that doesn't count anymore ......... except of course when it can back up our arguments"

4) being able to randomly choose which bits are to be taken literally and which bits are to be taken as a metephor.... as the need arises.

5)You need faith
