To whom does one owe the pleasure of living
This collection of cells and bit of soul stuff
Random circumstance, in a universe unforgiving
Coalesced to make me, oddly enough

To whom do I pray, who owns my allegiance
Who is responsible, who’s in control
Who do I speak with, when I have a grievance
Who do I bow to, who’s virtues extol

Who do I blame for my continuing senescence
Who is accountable for the weight of my soul
Who will I see, when I discharge my essence
Who eviscerates me, while leaving me whole

Some may think these are rhetorical questions
That the answers are something I’ll never know
For those of that mind I have a suggestion
Only in the seeking, can wisdom bestow

Women don't necessarily have to be nervous about picking up guys at bars or anywhere for that matter, which is a plus. But they are under a lot of pressure to look attractive.

Men don't necessarily have much pressure to get married and have kids. But a lot of men also have to worry about being attractive enough to pick up women period.

I'm sure that there are a million other things that you could put into each column, but overall, who do think has is harder?

I have no friends. Not even one. I'd be happy if I had at least ONE friend. But I don't. Everyone is always mean to me. I remember one time this girl that used to bully me. Took my newly brand new math book and tore and stratched up the cover and pages right infront of me. then handed it back to me and smiled. I sometimes think I'm too nice to people. Because all I did was just sit there and cry. People get pissed and talk crap about how I shouldnt be so shy and nice. WELL ITS HARD NOT TO WHEN YOU'VE BEEN THIS WAY ALL YOUR LIFE. School was always a big deal for me because I knew there would be some bully type girl there. And whenever i try to make friends with people at school they seem to not be interested. And it hurts when I see these people all laighing, and hanging out and just being great friends. When I have no one. And I feel like theres no one to tell things to. When its only my mom, and most the things she doesnt understand. And theres my little sister and shes too young.

of their crimes, wouldn't it be morally right to contact the police or would they keep quiet for church rules? Follow rules or let a killer continue? How does the church decide? How can a priest have this on their conscience?

This is a big pet peeve of mine. Does anyone else relate with me? I normally just smile and or graciously thank them but inside I am very annoyed.
Here is an example: I asked a guy that I worked with if he knew a good place to purchase health suppliments at cheap prices. He recommended a place that may have it and I thanked him. He then continued to explain to me that I could call them and see if they carried and IF they carried I could ask how much it was. I just smiled at him.
I know this is petty but it is so annoying to me. Any ways to explain to people that their "advice" is not necessary without coming across as rude or arrogant? Sometimes I think people are so used to dealing with idiots that they treat everyone that way.

He Said In The Bible That He Will Return One Day..

2006-08-06 09:42:34 · 14 answers · asked by Angel_Anton 6 in Religion & Spirituality

The original meaning of the word hell was a place where people stored food for the winter. The word was translated from Hebrew to the closest meaning of the word in English. So hell is like a grave. It is never said that you would go to heaven right after you die, but all will go to hell (the grave), where one day; the day of Judgment you will be resurrected. There is no thought or experience in the grave so being in hell would not be suffering; it would just be nothing at all. The Bible never says that people have an immortal soul. It says that we must be resurrected first to go to heaven. The only one believed to have an immortal soul was Jesus, and as we all know from the text he was resurrected. It actually means that on Judgment day; those who are judged to be not worthy of heaven will return to hell, the grave back to dust cease to exist, not suffer for all eternity, just cease to exist. Where did all the brimstone and fire come from, who started that whole fantasy and when?

G W Bush has labelled North Korea, Syria and Iran as the “Axis of Evil” obviously offending those countries enormously. GW admits he’s a religious man, reads the Bible, prays to God, and seeks God’s advice. In fact, GW stated that God told him to invade Iraq (Google ‘Bush God Iraq Invade’ for details).

G W Bush will probably seek advice from the Bible and God on how best to handle these Evil countries. Perhaps biblical scholars could describe how the Bible describes Evil and how this Evil should be handled. This might give people an insight into GW’s mental acumen (or lack of it) and what might be in store for the North Korean, Syrian and Iranian people.

G W Bush according to opinion polls, is the second most unpopular president in US history, and is likely to go down as the most unpopular president ever. I doubt GW’s ego will allow that, and perhaps he has a surprise up his sleeve regarding the “Axis of Evil” and wishes to leave a distracting legacy for the world.

the bible says different (Matthew 46-49,1John 7-11 these are just a couple of examples) it is in your actions,speech and heartthat shows if you are a child of GOD. Look at what JESUS says in Revelations 15 I know your works, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that youwere hot or cold. 16 So, because you are lukewarm , and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.

I just have a feeling that once the world is able to finally accept homosexuals as they are and stop all the discrimination today I believe that things are going to be looked back on time todaya dn see people who hated homosexuals to be just as merciless as people who hated aferican americans years ago. (not that hate will ever end sadly)

Anyone agree with me?

In the 10-12th century christians in europe burned scientists or murdered them for hearsay yet there future couterparts use the very technology that there previous generations fought against.

Again religion is a contriditory in terms changing it's values to try and cling onto it's lessening influence.

Christianity seems very adept at completely altering it's stance to suit the times over the ages.

So which word of the lord is the correct one the
10th centuary
11th
12th
etc
20th
Because each one has a different teaching

Answer that then!

The concept is so stupit. Why would God creat man, most with the deck stacked against them, and place him in hell for eternity if he did not perform adequately? If you went to heaven and your spouse, mother, father and siblings were in hell, would that truly be heaven for you? Just think about it, the whole idea is to manipulate you. Reject the idea, worry about something important.
