And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

We are Presbyterians with poor church attendance. They go to Vacation Bible School in the summer, but the weekends are so fun for staying home or going on little mini-trips, and I just don't know if Sunday School is of *that* much value, because I know it will lead to arguments about waking up, the fight to find matching shoes, and then on top of it all, someone will be crying because she didn't get to put the felt Madonna on the storyboard.

Ahh, I just don't know the benefits and if is worth the hassle.

Hot dogs are made of lips and @ssholes. The Eucharist is the Body of Christ. Isn't this like a Semitic Savior sausage? Aren't we eating Jesus's penis, nipples, testicles, intestines, armpits, lips, @sshole, and toenails?

Are the problems of the world today because people are blindly following their religions leaders, who preach hatred and racism.

People are making so many silly comments regarding them, but how many of you thought "Hang on let me try and get to know a few Muslims and their religion see what their about???" There are too many narrow minded and people with lack of knowledge that are making these silly comments. That's all....

Okay to start of with I am 18 now, I met all my current friends when I was 12. Jason told all of us he was gay 2 years ago, and they abandoned, I followed them even when they continued to insult and pick on him. Shortly after that I started cutting again, something he had helped me stop once...

Anyways, back in December I met him in the wooded area around town, I was feeling really depressed and had gone there to be alone and to cut. He found me there before, and we started talking, now we are friends again, but my other friends do not know and would hate me if I told them.

I do not want to lose my friends, and I am really scared they will hurt me! But still I would rather die than to lose Jason as my friend again... I love him too much to... I do not know what to do! I am scared for my life if I tell my other friends that Jason and I are friends again...

Do southern and northern folks from the United States still have an enmity between them because of the Civil war, or do they just shake their heads and think 'never again will I fight against my own peoples'?

I've really read up on this; what really bugs me is that it was all fought for money. Dirty rotten money. Though isn't everything? The rich get rich and the send us ordinary folks to war. Fcuk that.

I find the Trinity confusing with regard to my sense of God and Jesus particularly. I know we are supposed to pray to God, through Jesus. However, when I think about God (as a 3 in 1 Devine being) I have very separate images in my mind such as a human form of Jesus and the ellusive image of a mighty being up in heaven. I hope this makes sense. What I am saying is that despite knowing that all three are one, I still have trouble sensing God as a total being.

Granted all I know is that God will take up his people and the rest will suffer, but why those people. What about all the people who have lived and died before.

I know times are tense right now with the things happening in the world. I still maintain that we should try and respect each other. I am talking about day to day activities with others. When i say respect I don't mean we agree, just that we can still co-exisist with others that are different than us. I usually ask for people to do something nice for someone else. Maybe we need that more today than ever. Please -'Give peace a chance."-John Lennon

I usually use AltaVista Babelfish. But there's a problem with typing the accent marks.

For example:

"Hola, co'mo esta's?" only translated to "Hello, co'mo esta's?"

But without typing the accents,

"Hola, como estas?" translates to "Hello, like these?"

Is there a translation website that automatically puts in the correct Spanish punctuations & accents?

I'm definitely planning to learn Spanish as my 2nd language. There is a local program to get an A.A.S. or certificate in professional Spanish.

It requires taking 6 credits of another foreign language, and I have a choice between French and Italian.

Which is more in demand in the US workforce between French and Italian?
