Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God

Job 20:28
A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God's wrath.

Jealousy and wrath are two of the seven deadly sins. Is God a sinner?

This is an honest question. I hear so many people against and for prayer in school and other such notions. What would your idea of a perfect way for things to go involving religion and school? If you agree with religion in school would it be all religions, as in teachers teaching passages from all religions; the bible, the witches bible, the quran, ect..... If you are against it what would be your solution? No mention of religion of any kind? Please share your opinion and be polite so we may learn from each other.

I've experienced that kind of odd thing with my boyfriend. We dreamt about the same things for 6 months and when we met each other we shocked because what I dreamt the night before was exactly what he dreamt the night before. Please help me about this! I've asked a lot of people but their answers are still making me curious.

He is acting really weird, and is 18 years old, really impressionable age.He was never religious his whole life, is this like a cult?
He just joined and is now telling his family they are all going to hell if they don't join and really weird stuff.

i just understood why it is that something in me has always rebelled against christianity, even as i went to sunday school and went to mass every sunday...
christianity operates on the principle that all people are fundamentally bad, wrotten apples who need to be miraculosly restored to their red shiny superego so that god can stand their presence....
i believe that all people are fundamentally good, though some are spoiled beyond recovery by their environment, most are just decent people trying to get on with life. sometimes they'll get bitten by a bird or an insect and they won't look so pretty, but they'll heal and they'll be perfectly good, delicious apples in the end.

i guess this isn't really a question, but i wondered how many people feel the same way? and for those who don't... why don't you?

please don't preach at me, i'm looking for YOUR own thoughts, not whole chapters out of the bible, i can look in there myself if i want to.

Hi

I just received a phone call from a colleague who told me that my previous boss died very suddenly and that his funeral is tomorrow. He was a great man to work for and my reasons for leaving were not because of the company.

I will attend the funeral tomorrow.

I have not been to a funeral in about 10 years and this is going to be a HUGE affair in the city's major cathedral. Do you think I should be buying flowers and having them sent to his wife (who I only met a few times) given that she will have no doubt received a house full by now, or write her a card telling her how much I though of her husband?

Also, do you think I should sit with my former work colleagues at the funeral or sit quietly at the back?

Thanks

Yea I've never heard of such a thing, and I'm curious as to whether they exist. Also, please save the lackluster evangelistic efforts for Christ. I, myself, am training to be a missionary for the only true way. Also, atheists please save any crap for the comment above.

the point in even trying to appologize, if they refuse to hear you out..Aren't you just wasting both your time and thiers? Yes, it will make YOU feel better for trying to fix the problem, but if they are not willing to listen?????

I have asked some questions about racism/discrimination and read some questions about racism/discrimination. Almost every time, someone will answer, "Quit whining about it!" I want to ask, what is wrong with "whining" about racism? Many people are still hurt by some form of discrimination everywhere. Should everybody just shut up about discrimination and accept the abuse? What is wrong about just having a simple discussion about it? I guess it can be annoying after a while, but if we didn't discuss it, then is it possible that we may just start slipping. It just pisses me off when people say that, because I don't see how talking about this subject or even complaining about this subject would be upsetting to some people. To me, it seems like these types of answers are just ignorant. Anyway, what do you think about this?
Please, no rude comments.

They seem to choose to switch-off their femininity.. It's a shame.. I have seen a few women in their 40's and 50's look 25 from a short distance. It seems they have worked on it though.. they kept their hair long, they project a youthful attitude etc.
We live so few years..why "act your age"??
