Why is it that the topic of religion always attracts weirdos in the droves?

They have there public toilets in my church. They have 3 doors and no bowl so you have to do you business on the floor. The problem is that there is carpet on the floor.

There is also a curtain so you can poop on the other people using the tiolet.

Well Fr. Ted just informed me that it wasnt a toilet but rather a confessional box, or something, anyway my question is this:

How do you get #2 out of carpet?

Was it something I said or did Jesus?

If I were an atheist, an intellectually honest one.........the sophomoric name calling and hate mongering of some of your fellow non-believers would really embarass me . Is your value system so distorted that attacks of any kind no matter how vulgar or unfair are condoned....I am on the kinder side of the fence, at least by my observance of these hate filled posts

I wish I could just read books everyday and all day, but it's impossible, because I have to go to school and work. I love reading books about any subject. Right now, I'm into reading about the Roman Empire and its collapse.

To me, reading books is what gets me through hard and boring days. I love reading the stories of the past and it just amaze me.

So how can I stop that?

Why are we so busy. It doesn't matter whether you come from a rich or poor country. We all seem to work so hard. With all the available technology these days, there's no reason why we shouldn't be living lives with far less work than we do and far more time for leisure.

And what makes me really confused is that all this labour goes towards making a relitively small group of people ultra rich while they rip the planet to peices trying to make more money and exploit more people.

And the bit that really sickens me is that as a result of all of this there may well be no planet left for anyone to live in 100 years or so. And it's not just the nutter wearing the sandwich board that thinks so, there are some very well respected scientists that are of that opinion.

What's gone wrong?

I have a feeling it's the same with all men. it's a fantasy ...not that there is something wrong with that. Just wondered if there are men out there who would actually want to have two women as their partner in life. and are there men out there who would keep that a secret from their woman?

Ok so i have a roommate and we get along really good and talk about alot of things but she is to needy and dependent, am just her roommate do i really need to be there and does she have to come tell me everything about anything every sec? We also work together and she always come to ask me for cigs about 3 or 4 maybe more times a day and i dont know what to tell her, and i can't maintain my habbits and her a** aswell, now am getting to the point that i try to get home late so she can't start talking to me and am getting a lil bit annoyed. Usually things like that didn't bother me, but i feel like she taking advantage, what the hell do i do? How can i tell her that she needs to get her own sh*t and leave me alone, i like to just be in my room alone and watch tv, not stay up all night talking about what problem she has with her BF or whatever else, she over stresses things why to much, it's driving me crary. And am a very laid back person so is it me or her? What should i do?

YOU SHOULD!

Listen to this: In case you didn't know the number of pirates in world is tied directly to the increasing problem of global warming, obviously the FSM's punishment on us...Coincidence? I think not.

and this: Any flaw you find in the gospel of the FSM is only put in place by he, the flying Spaghetti Monster to throw off the weak-minded non-believers...How's that for a slap into reality Mr. Carbon-14?

So, what say you now? You wanted proof and there it is you ignorant Atheists. Repent and become a pastafarian and you shall be saved...otherwise..Let's just say, do u like ur meatballs fried or baked? May the FSM slap you with his noodly appendage into enlightenment.

I am talking about Americans (so I don't think it's cultural). I think it's rude. I don't get upset. The change just goes on the counter. And no smart remarks about a minimum wage job. I am a manager in an industry that is commission-based. My reps make 50k+/year. So this is not coming from a bitter and underpaid person.

I've been sober for 14 days with the help of Antabuse. My problem is, I'm having all kinds of cravings, and thoughts of going off the Antabuse, even thoughts of drinking while still on the Antabuse. I don't want to go to AA. Are there any tips you could share that will help me out here? And is this the hardest part? How long will these feelings last? Will I have to fight this the rest of my life? My drinking wasn't a terrible problem....yet...I drank about twice a week for the sole purpose of getting drunk...8-12 beers usually. I had a DUI last year in which I hurt the driver of the other vehicle. I couldn't completely stop drinking even while I was pregnant. These are just a couple of the reasons I don't want to drink anymore. Advice, suggestions, personal stories, web links, and other resources will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Exodus 21:22 clearly makes an unborn child the property of its father and not a person. Killing an unborn child is a crime only against the parents, and is not as just hitting and not seriously injuring your parents. It clearly says that a fetus does NOT count as a person, so why to people hold up the bible as evidence that abortion is murder?

I only call on the Lord when I need help. The only times I pray to God is when I want to win a competition, do good on a test, etc. And then I feel bad because I feel like I'm using Him. I always tell myself, I'm going to start praying to Him daily and do everything in His name, but sooner or later, I completely forget my promise. Does God get angry when we just pray to Him randomly just because we want something? How can I stop it and learn to accept Him as my personal Savior?

what has religion or beliefs truly achieved?
they cause hatred, wars and distrust amongst fellow humans throughout history.
the majority maybe are peace loving but why do they tolerate their goverments that go to war, terrorists that kill, even football matches are a place of religious bigotry and sectarianism.
why dont the peace loving followers of these religions stand up against the more blood thirsty; yes that includes goverments in the west as well as in the east being stood up against, the goverments are the worst claiming to be 'at war' Bush uses statements about gods will etc, is this man a coward and has to hide behind a 'diety'
if i do something its because of ME nothing else, i do not hide behind my religion/belief,
my little rant is now over!
please debate!!!

Being a christian as a youth is different from being a christian now that I am older.
There are times when we go away that we miss church and I love those times Just to "get a break" from the church I go to. where we go away to do not have christain churches so we just have devotions and pray.

It is so nice not to always be so obligated because at times for me going to church is a chore because when I was young I did not have the responsbilities that I have now.

I love the Lord I just don't like at times what being a christian entials.
