If you do, here is some helpfull hints to get you through the week. What do you think? Let me know!
WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN".

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for smuggling diamonds".

7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy".

8. Don't use any punctuation.

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat -- with a serious face, of course.

11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go".

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day at work.

14. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.

17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I won! I won!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

19. Tell your children over dinner "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity, e-mail this to someone to make them smile and laugh. Its called therapy

I am starting high school in a small town w/ very few Jewish people (that I know of). I'm not very religious, but my mom says to ask anyone that I think may be Jewish if they are and then invite them over to the house.

So how do I know? I don't understand because what if someone is half Jewish and their last name won't sound Jewish. Also the last girl I asked was Italian and she was really rude about it too.

Thank you.

I think of them more like small coincidences, lets put it this way:

If 10 christian people with a deadly heart disease all prayed to god, all were faithful, and did as the bible insists.

9 of them die, 1 of them survives and tells everyone (s)he knows that they prayed to god!

Do you ever hear from the 9 that died and prayed also? You don't.

Miracles = Coincidences

THEY DON'T EXIST.

It is because women, through their actions, have lost the right to be treated respectfully. I feel like tripping women whenever they walk past me. I also feel like throwing rocks at their cars like Palestinians do whenever Israeli buses pass by. I may even spit at them.

I'm not asking this question to be mean to Christians or anyone else who believes in God. I am just curious as to you opinions on the subject.
People always quote the Bible on this subject, but I want to know what you really think.

My brother and I were both saved at young ages. But as we got older he started to pull away from Christ. He claims he is not a Christian. Can he just decide to not be a Christian anymore after he has already been saved? I am really worried about my brother. He has fallen under the wrong crowd of people. I want him to go to church with me but he won't. Now he has moved away to college and I am afraid he will never go back to church. The main question is does this make my brother an Atheist, now? I sure hope not.

In the desert, if one was where there was no shade, and it was so hot and dry, one would be miserable and long for the shade. Is it possible that the "hellfire" verses of the Qur'an are referring in a figurative way to such a situation? In other words, might it mean that if you do not follow God, then you will be miserable, like one in the desert who can find no shade? Or is it really literal?

Thanks.

1) A while ago i thanked God for my beauty and intelligence, I got polycystic ovarian cancer developed facial hair lost my figure and started failing in classes.
2).Despite the flaws of my appearance I found a wonderful boyfriend, he and I thanked god for each other, changed our way and started praying 2gether. He was murdered 5months later.
3).I used to have nice clothes and shoes, I thanked God and at a young age (13-15) donated time,money and clothing to shelters.
Now I'm down to 3 t-shirts and 4 pair of pants and a 1.99 pair of flip-flops.
4).I moved out of my emotionally & mentally abusive home, to the dorms, now Im told I have to move because it isn't enough room on campus.
5)I thanks him for the friendships i found i'm now alone.
I don't understand it, I think God just doesn't care about me, or he needs me to be depressed so he can have example for his favorite Christians.After I thank him and praise him he just takes away the things I thanked him for....

And what about child pornography, and rape? And fecalphelia? Is Jesus just a sicko or what? I have to say, Buddha and Vishnu have a leg up on this sick bastard. What do you think? Please feel free to attack me and insult me, it's the Christian way!
