The lack of education, grammar, intellect and knowledge displayed by those who answer Yahoo! Questions is quite alarming. To think that these people are allowed to vote is even more so. It probably explains the Bush and Blair Administrations, but it also says a lot about democracy. If you allow everyone to vote it demeans its value. It also explains why, whereas you get a disproportinate amount of corruption and stupidity in the UK's House of Commons, the House of Lords (where the incumbents are either selected or inherit their place) has a much higher reputation.

Isn't atheism the answer since atheism is free to look at questions from a less ideological perspective?

She was 25 living with her boyfriend at the time and then caught him in the bed they shared with another girl. She moved out back to her parents, saved some money and got her own place. After a few months of living alone she feels she needs to get out of that apartment because it is a dump and she wants to move to another city, to be further away from er ex. So she is going to move back to the 'rents to save money again and move to Chicago. Does she seem crazy that she keeps moving back to the 'rents? Or is this normal? She is now 26. WIll she be alright in the future? Or does her life seem crazy?

Even as I beheld the sunset, saw God's Glory reflected in a clear mountain lake, did I feel the pang.

I had the joint rolled afore time, a fat, sticky greenbudder with a thick strip of Kashmiri hash running right up the core, rolled on hemp paper. As splendid a spliff as is under God's eye.

But now I realise that I've lost my lighter. And that I could use another hashish shake. And that a double-order of fried potatoes and onions might hit the spot. I'm going to have to call room service.

But the phone is on the far edge of a very soft bed. I really don't feel like moving. I see the phone out of the corner of my eye, taunting me. God taunts me.

I know, I know, "Why don't you bellow to the hall attendant? He'll have you fixed up with a new Bic and a hash shake and a plate of 'taters in three shakes."

But.... well yeah, I could do that. It's just that I'm so very comfortable where I am. I don't want to move.

WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME???????

Why do people hate on the fact that we as christians live the way we suppose to and others is just a religion to go by but as christians it is a life style and people seem not to get that through their heads....

Job said the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. why was this statment made. Jesus did not say or even have any actions of taking away. The only thing Jesus took away was our sins and the results of sin. Jesus said I only do what I see my Father do, Me and My father are one. Jesus never took nothing only gave. So was Job in the spirit when he said The Lord giveth and The Lord taketh away or in the Flesh? Jesus is the way the truth and the light. He also said no one knows the Father but him. So I follow Jesus, not Job

I have been a Christian, a Protestant to be exact, and I have been taught about God's Word my whole life, due to my upbringing in a Christian family.

However, I am still unsure of God's presence in my life though I have asked Jesus be my Saviour and Lord MANY times, but it seems that God isn't with me. I have cried out in my thoughts many a time, "God, where art Thou?" But no answer has been given. I want a very strong affirmation that I am God's child, and that God is in control of my life.

What should I do? (No answering with theological reasoning please!)

I always thought all of them were right but I keep hearing other people saying their religion is the only one that's right.

Dragons do not exist, and never have. I propose that St.George found some dinosaur bones and took credit for killing a "dragon" that died thousands of years before he was born. He was a liar and a fraud not only to lie to everyone, but to let them make him a saint as well. How can people still pray to him and consider him the patron saint of England? They need to change it.

My Indian friend grew up in Switzerland and other European countries ( dad is in the embassy) and when he came to live in the U.S he noticed how much racial tension he found ( more than the European countries) I tried to explain to him that when you have so many different groups of people in one area, there will be clashing somewhere. When he found out about the "n" word and how it is used and used to be used, he can't see why it is still offensive when any one of any race says it. He gives examples of other offensive words for other ethnic groups such as "wet back"and rag head (Indian). I know that all offensive terms for groups are equally offensive. How do I help get the point across to him that the "n" word has a very strong meaning and has been used so long to put down an ethnic group because of something that enthinic group could never change--skin color.
