I figure they must either really love their jobs or really hate it--nothing in between.

So, Jesus was sent to die for our sins. What would've happened if he didn't? Would all of mankind throughout history be damned to hell? Would we keep having children and have them damned too? An eternal punishment for every future person? Sorry if I sound ignorant, It's been along time since I read the bible. Thanks.

I was just told that this is not a concept from the Bible. I have studied the Bible, with a special emphasis on the End Times and the books of Revelation and Daniel specifically. What is your opinion? Is the rapture something that will come to pass according to the Bible? You don't have to agree that it is going to happen; the question is whether or not the Bible points to a concept similar to what we refer to as the rapture of Christians to be with Christ

The way some of their posts sound, it doesn't seem like the concept of "radical christianity" is too far away, and soon we'll have them strapping on bombs to blow up buses of "sinners". This is not a jab at the nice Christians, there are some very good ones out there....

I don't understand it anymore... is it just human nature, then? No one understands the relationship between me and my girlfriend... well, actually, fiancee... they think that the way they think the world should be is law, and that anyone who doesn't follow their way of life is doomed to fail... I hate that. No one can tell me how I feel.
My question: Why are people so ignorant? Is it nurture or nature?

I have a boyfriend, and I love him to death. He is theman that all my friends and I have ever wanted and more. But I am really feeling pulled towards a religious life as a cloistered nun. How do I tell him that when I am 18, I might be leaving him for a convent? We met through the church we go to, and I know that he is open to being a priest, so he might understand a litlle bit better than other guys. Should I just come out and say it, or should I kind of build up to it in a convo?

OPEC has responded to the surges in oil prices, that have occured since 2004, by fulfilling consumers’ demands and even appropriating all of its reserves capacity in case the market needs it to bring the price back to more reasonable level.

Gorgeous, beautiful fine art photographs located right on the rim. It is so joyful and wonderful. You should see it if you haven't.

2. Intelligent/humorous conversation.
3. Looking at trees and imagining peculiar faces.
4. Hard rock, agressive, spine-tingling music.

If you didn't have a Father or a terrible one, I know that feeling, I know that missing piece in your life. Mine was an abusive drunk beyond belief. If thats you I'd like to share what I have learned. Give your children exactly what we craved..love them like crazy, love them lavishly, love them extravegantly..without hesitation and I promise you it will be returned. I know the fear of having children and repeating the cycle..FEAR NOT...you know what they need it was the very thing we wanted...that's the key! I've rasied 3 beauitful children and they walked in love everyday of their life with me..they never knew a day I didn't tell them I love you..and made them feel like the gift they are..I would tell them how I felt when they were born...I just loved them like crazy EVERYDAY..I never raised my voice to them..I was never like my father..the thing I feared..it's all about LOVE...it never fails!!!!!

Sorry for so long..I just felt someone might need this.

Do you agree?

... and you had to choose between saving the original copy of the bible, signed by Jesus himself. Or some poor atheist bastard.
Which would you pick?

I'm not sure how many people from Ireland are out there, but here goes...... There is a gravitational pull to all things Ireland for us. A lot of us feel Ireland is home; we feel a connection to you. Is the Irish Nation Ireland, or is it all of us?

It is no secret that many fundamentalist Christians believe that sexual abstinence is the only acceptable choice for unmarried people. Religious conservatives at the Center for Disease Control (appointed by the Bush administration) are afraid that anything that might lessen the risks of sex might encourage liberal sexual behavior. They have even said that they would seriously consider preventing the distribution of newly-developed vaccines to protect against STDs. Even if we found a vaccine for the HIV virus, they might try to block its use. Is moral opposition to pre-marital sex so important that we should let people die of STDs rather than allow vaccines to be used? Would Jesus refuse to cure people with STDs? I would especially like to hear from conservative Christians and Bush supporters. If you had the power, would you withhold medical technology that could cure STDs?
