And why do Muslims seem to be the most sophisticated of all, with the possible exception of members of the Church of Jesus Christ if Latter Day Saints? Why are all the cures for diseases being discovered in Bible Colleges instead of Secular Universities?

Ok, here it goes again-hope i am clearer this time
I am in love with a guy and he feels the same. He is bi and I am straight. We are good friends and dance together. My parents treat him cruely esp my mom cause a bi guy broke her heart once. I am 22 and just got out of college-I am @ my parents while apartment searching. My parents say all kinds of awful things about him and have forbiddin me from dating him. Saying that it would ruin my life and how he can't possible love me. This breaks my heart to hear them say this stuff. We want to go out so badly and maybe get married someday(we have known each other and felt this way 4 years). My parents went so far as to hint that they might write me out of the family. I am willing to take that risk but I need some help dealing with them. Please!?

I have had serious problem the last few days, and didn't know how to take care of it myself. Finally, I did what I should have done in the first place and prayed that God help me and decide what is best for me. I felt an almost instant sense of relief. Have any of you ever felt this before?

I have always wondered this. Im a girl in high school and never know how to greet people. Some people shake hands and some dont. Then its just awkward waiting to see if the person is going to stick out their hand or not. I thought maybe I would be the one to stick out my hand to shake (to save the awkward waiting) but is it weird for a girl to do that. Its normal for guys but what about girls? This is a silly question but I would love your opinion. Also, if the girl does it first, does it show confidence?

Gen 1:26-27-Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness..." And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him.

Is 44:24-Thus says the Lord [Jehovah], your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the Lord [Jehovah], am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth all alone..."

John 1:3-All things came into being by Him [the Word], and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. [If Jesus was created, then he created himself]

isaiah 45:18 KJV: For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Rom 11:36-God...For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

John 1:10-He [Jesus] was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

Eph 3:9-...God, who created all things...

Col 1:15-16-And He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born [cp. Ps 89:27, Gen 41:51-52, Jer 31:9] of all creation. For [Gr. because] by him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created by Him and for Him.

Heb 1:8,10-But of the Son...He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."

Heb 3:3-4-For He [Jesus] has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness.
Genesis 3:22
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of US in knowing good and evil.
Exodus3:2
And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed.
This verses says that i was in the OUT of the midst of a bush i was never in the bush! I never talked from a bush, today no one will see a bush talk.
Now paul turns that scripture so god was in the bush, god was around that bush not in it!
Acts 7:30
“Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Why do you think men were giving god food in offerings? Why do you think god would need food? http://www.rael.org/download.php?view.1

He gets inspired and nations can be built and conquered for love doesnt that mean love is a greater force than hate. The question is do we still have the ability to love that much in this day and age. An epic love.

Funny how one is only racist, trailer-bound and inbred if they are white and have some social commentary? Black nationalists however can spout on and on about how they were the original humans and everyone else are mutations and on and on. Are they racist? Nope, they are empowered! Bullsh*t if you ask me. Besides. . .no one is discounting that black people were the original humans. . .they're the missing link of course, the connection between apes and humans. All other variants on the Homo Sapiens DNA coding is an improvement!

My boss has the vilest breath that I've ever come across. Whenever we have to speak face to face I help myself to a breath mint and casually offer him one. He generally accepts, which makes the next few minutes bearable but doesn't take a hint. Apart from telling him outright, how can I let him know that he needs to do something about this?

How much would you sell yours for? I can make a legal contract & I don't believe a soul recognized as a legitimate item for sale, so really you just have to sign. Would you do it?

Ok-

So I live in apartments. We had this ice chest full of soda and water out side our front door for like 2 days. We should have broiught it in, but we were lazy...we needed it back in the car for tomorrow.
Anyways, i get home from work today, goto grab a soda and they are all gone. I call my BF, he didnt take them. One, or some of our neighbors did.
I want to put a sign on our empty ice chest telling them to fock themselves......but it has to be directed at everyone cause we dont know who did it.
I have lived here over 4 years and nothing has ever been taken off of our porch. And we like our neighbors.....its a focked situation

God is only relevant if he/she has some influence over the universe. So if you're convinced that there's a personal God, describe what you've seen to convinced you. If you believe God caused something to happen, why God and not a natural process?
