The whole of Africa, Middle East, South Asia and the Far East goes to the loo and then washes up with water.

If the Western world switched over from toilet paper we could save millions and millions of trees. Minimsing deforestation would greatly help the effort to stave off global warming and save our planet.

Will you make a beginning ?

Can anyone tell me about "My Space"? The median age of the participants? Was under the maybe mistaken impression that site is directed towards the younger generation. And since I find it pathetic and distasteful (and possibly illegal) to see "older" generations "chasing" younger members of society, have shied away from the site. Not to mention the great time I have here on Yahoo answers. So can you sell me on the concept? Thanks.

I never said God doesn't love you. If If If God didn't love you, would you decide that there's no God?

I think the driving force behind the belief in God is just wanting to feel loved by something that can protect you

People give
in line with their faith,
in line with conviction.
Whoever gets flustered
at food & drink given to others,
attains no concentration
by day or by night.

But one in whom this is
cut through
up-rooted
wiped out
attains concentration
by day or by night.


Peace and Love

I've searched for quite some time now about this subject. Dec. 21, 2012 is the end of the Mayan/Aztec calendar. It is said that either it is the END. Like the end of everything or the it is rather an enlightment. Which could be us on earth being enlightened or enlightened by something coming to earth. It is also considered time wave 0 by Terence McKenna. He founded the therory of Novelty. What I need some other point of view. So what do you think? Do you think that were all just going to die? Do you think that aliens are going to come to earth? Do you think that the world will find peace? Do you think that nothing is going to happen?

Is one of your primary motivations for coming on yahoo answers is the familiar avatars, and the entertainment value, and it is a good conversation about religion that you are addicted to, and not neccessarily to learn anything?

I'm not really interested in converting to Christianity, but I might ask questions about Christianity, even when I know the answer, just to see what other peoples opinions are on the subject matter. Does anyone else do this?

Is it what it's supposed to be? (participating in the sacrifice at calvary) or is it just about celebrating ourselves now?
I see that many Masses only purpose is to reinforce their culture, folk masses, rock masses, clown masses, mariachi masses, etc... I'm thinking that we are missing something very important in the new Catholic Church (reverence for the Holy Eucharist).
Should I start going to the Traditional Mass instead?

Have you ever held a baby (under the age of two months) who suddenly stares over your shoulder at absolutely nothing as if they've seen something amazing? And when you try to figure out what caught their eye all you can see is a blank wall?!
Do you think they can see supernatural things at the beginning?

Should I teach my son about the fire and sulphur that reigned on the wicked, and teach my son that if he isn't good enough for God, God will reign sulphur on him.

Some say this isn't true, that Jesus forgives. But I have heard from Christians that God sent Hurricane Katrina because of the wicked in America, a localized flood, God had a loophole in Genesis 8:21 when he promised not to flood the ENTIRE world.

Should I teach him about Revelation 6, and the horsemen?

Here's this one story about Dinah, well maybe when he is four I can teach him that one.

Do most people living in third world countries go to hell after they die because they never accepted Jesus as their savior? They have never heard of Christianity or the Bible. These people never take the time to worship God or Jesus because they spend most, if not all of their time just trying to survive. Because they would rather spend their time trying to live instead of accepting Jesus, they must go to hell, right?

IF you say respect, why I never hear anyone say "I'm God respecting"?

If you love God out of fear, God is bullying you. So, God is a bad boy
