John
12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ***, sat thereon; as it is written


"he had found a young ***"
hmm, are you sure Jesus was against gay's?

It's not necessary or even appropriate to advertise your religion in the workplace. I am Jewish but my last name is not "Jewish". I don't walk around telling people my religion so I would guess there are people here who do not know I am Jewish, just as I do not know what other people's religions are.

Yesterday one of the women here was telling about a conversation she had had with her attorney. Apparently he asked her what she thought of Mel Gibson, and when she asked why he wanted to know, he responded that he assumed she was Jewish because of her last name. She was most insulted by this and told the lawyer so. Then one of the other people at work chimed in and said "It's a good thing he didn't throw pennies at you."

Was I wrong to be offended? I did not say anything. What should I have said? Am I too thin skinned?

Do you feel you are suffering Atheists? I feel pretty good personally...

Do you need God in your life? Apparently, some believers think everyone NEEDS him some how. What is your take?

No one else was there. Couldn't he just have made it up?

What exactly is it that has led you to believe him. All of Islam is founded on this basic assumption.

Anyways My answer was we should stop pregnancy....My thing is that People are so quick to have abortions but why not take the time to not get pregnant...And for the girls who say..its a womans body she should choose...well then guess what..I think if the woman decides to have the baby then the man can decided not to pay child support...I think its completely retarded to think that its just a womans choice whether she has a baby or not. It takes two to make one...she just carries it. I also think its funny how so many pro choicers will support killng un born fetus's yet be completely against war....its hilarious!

An elderly American lady came into my office yesterday, announced that she had a "deep emotional connection" with the Irish people and said she could stare at me all day.
They walk around my town (in Ireland) asking random people to tell them about the history of whatever building or castle they happen to be standing in front of.
They take photo's of EVERYTHING that looks a few years old.
Does anybody else experience this?

I'm not complaining by the way. These are normally elderly tourists and they really are nice folks.

If you bombed a place and killed thousands of people on purpose, would Jesus forgive you if you asked him too?

I have been with the same man for sereval years now. He is real nice to me and in love with me. I do feel conforable with him.I do not feel as in Love with him as he is with me. When he mentioned marriage and kids the other day my heart says no. I feel that it is time to break up, but I do care about him and do not want to hurt his feelings. Also, I have never been on my own and am kinda scared about that. Any advise or insight would be appreciated.

It's like this. I wake up in the middle of the night with a sense of panic and paranoia. I don't understand. This has happened before but last night I felt something like a presense. It felt kinda evil.

Wednesday, we had a very challenging, upbeat discussion about the resurection. Some got upset with me, others agreed. I claimed that the resurection of Jesus has been proved scientifically to be true. Some of you got very upset. But I challenged you to do some research on your own because I was not going to get into polemics with anyone. So, take a deep breath and engage in a very intelligent debate. What do you think?

Obviously, most people know what this means already.

But if you don't.

Sheeple is a term of disparagement, created by combining the words "sheep" and "people." It implies that those people it references believe whatever they are told, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them. The term can be applied to any group, often in a political or comedic sense.It also rhymes with "steeple," and can be used as an attack against Christians, who often refer to themselves as "flocks."

Since Jesus is your shepherd, isn't this a compliment to be called this?

My girlfriend and I were discussing lesbian sex after watching real sex last night. And both of us are curious as to why lesbians use dildos if they do not like men? After all a dildo is modeled after a mans penis.

The question was "Any of you Jehovahs out there want to give some blood?" Ok it was a little inflamatory but these things happen on Yahoo answers

This was an answer...

"if you were rich, would you give your money away....?
I don't think so......money is the life of a rich person....
For us, the blood represents the life we have and is very valuable before God's eyes,....so no, we wont, give blood, specially if it is for a transfusion..."

Now to me that is incredibly selfish. No justification for not giving blood other than being selfish. One can quite happily give away a pint of blood with no ill effects, so why not if you will save someones life especially as their blood represents the life they have and is very valuable before God's eyes

Sorry, I was very offended by what this person said and wondered what other people thought. And of course it gives the poster a chance to defend his/herself.
