I was reading this article on the Hutterites, and they kept mentioning High and Low German... what are they and what are the differences?

I don't want to be called racist or politically incorrect, so this question is regarding any women that are not in the U.S. If you have visited Latin America, how are latinas? If you have visited Asia, how are asian chicks? If you have visited the African continent..?

So there's this little old man. God tells him to save the World so he builds a boat.

So he goes around the World, picking up 2 of every animal. He gets elephants, rhinos, gorillas, kangaroos, snakes, dogs, mice, bears, polar bears, cheetahs, bears, lions etc.

So he goes from Northern Canada to the Amazon jungle to accomplish this. Not only that, he finds a male and female to accompany him (even with mice and snakes which do not easily distinguished).

He then takes them on a boat and feeds then for 40 days. None of them die. None of them eat eachother or fight.

And life on Earth is saved as we know it.

Will someone explain this to me in normal, everyday terms that normal, everyday people will understand? (The magic man answer will not work)

When I have in the past asked atheists why they are atheists, I have been told that there is no evidence that God exists and therefore atheism is the logical result.

But as you can see from:

and:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkMzAvzs40njVz19YoztMVrsy6IX?qid=20060828140324AAMIk7D

Atheism is NOT the logical result of a lack of evidence for God's existence. Rather agnosticism is the strictly logical response to a lack of evidence.

So is there any logical basis at all for atheism?

I told him that I was having severe back and stomach pain and that I went to see a doctor who prescribed me antibiotics. My therapist then asked me whether I had an yeast infection. I just thought that it was a way of directing the conversations into something like women's body issues. I was uncomfortable to discuss this. This was not the diagnosis, but I was wondering why he brought it up out of the blue. Back pain, stomach pain has nothing to do with yeast infection. Do you think he was wanting to gratify himself?

If not, the why do they call Jews that convert from Judaism to Christianity "completed Jews"? Isn't that insulting to Jews and putting down their religion?

I'm not thinking its good to try to talk to spirits other than your spirit guide or god. Or what ever god it is you pray to.

If the flying spaghetti monster does not exist, than how do you explain the decreasing number of pirates to the increasing problem of Global warming? Surely this is not a coincedence...Just use your noodles. Global warming up=pirates # down. It is not tht difficult. I am tired of all you ignorant atheists saying something that makes no since. (also be aware that any flaw you find in this is actually just put in place by the FSM himself to throw off non-believers) Plz..I really care about you guys finding the light and the true creator. How else will you get your beer volcano and stripper?

It seems that suddenly everywhere I go, people are constantly spitting. Men, women, and children all seem to think nothing of doing this in front of anyone else. Is it just me that finds it so gross and unsanitary? I wish I could come up with a short phrase that would make them realize how disgusting I think it is, but doesn't offend them. Any suggestions? Thanks
