Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?''
When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep.
Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!''
The Teacher fainted.

What if the universe never "began", we only live in the most recent life of the universe, since the big bang. (Think about this, what if the big bang was really the end of the previous universe) Everything from galaxies, stars, planet and life all share a common thread. We are born, we live and we die. Then why couldn't the Universe do this as well? In an endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. So if there was no actually beginning of this cycle, then where does God fit in. He doesn't have anything to do.

Or did we put God there? Humans always tend to humanize things to make them easier to understand.

Is the land below sea level
and surrounded by water?

Eventually, won't it just disappear,
no matter WHAT humans do?

Is it a good thing to spend
billions of dollars to restore?

Is it true that 2/3 of the
residents have relocated
and started lives in other
states?

Do you believe that all of humanity will ever be able to co-exist in the areas of religion and spirituality? Can we allow each individual their own beliefs without bashing one another for them?
If the Athiest does not believe in God - why should I try to make him/her?
If the Agnostic is merely one without knowledge (and by the way a person can be agnostic about anything... I am agnostic about bio-chemical warfare) can I lovingly show him/her my beliefs without degrading other systems. Not to sway that person but just to show an option?
If a Christian is so set in their ways why must another call them names to feel better about themselves?
Why have so many of the US population based their decisions on Islam based on what they are shown on television? How many of those who do not practice Islam have actually gone to see it practiced in their homes or place of worship?
Ask questions, find out why others believe or practice they way they do, with an open mind. Cant hurt. Can it?

my brother's friend came to visit him and is staying at his house. today my brother invited my husband and i to lunch. his friend, after ony a few minutes of talking to us, asked us when he could come see our house. he asked very directly, and in such a way that it would have seemed rude to decline. his girlfriend was there and of course he implied that she come along too. we've never met her before and we don't really know the guy himself too well, only met him a couple of times and never had a personal relationship with him, but he 's very close to my brother. is his directness rude. how should i have handled the situation? I am uncomfortable with them visiting but have already told them they can come over, what do i do? i don't want to be rude or ruin the relationship between my brother and his friend.

how do you scare some one and punish them with out doing it physicaly.

my step mother is very selfish and rude and i want to hut her. not a lot and not physicaly. i just want to put a little fear in to her, and make her realize that she needs to be nice.
i want her to be more humble and sumbmissive and not so mean. i have tried talking to her and so has my father, in fact they fight about that a lot. all i want to for her to be nicer which will make the house less stressfull and will hopefuly show my little half brother than real families dont always fight. there must be some thing i can do that will work where talk has failed, and i dont want to physicaly hurt her.

OK....I know we have freedom of speech but now it has gotten to the point of............no more things to ask. I have came across the stupidist questions. Sick, twisted, evil and ones to just plain out give me nightmares. Why are people so ........well you get the idea. Get some wisdom people. You really are stupid is as stupid does. And most of all I cannot wait for the young kids who think they know it all to grow up and learn the truth about it all. They are so opinonated and confused they don't know whether to scrath their watch or wind their butts. PARENTS PLEASE TEACH YOUR CHILDREN MORALS, RESPECT, WISDOM, & MANNERS. They are so clueless. Sorry I guess it was more venting than asking a question. Any parents ready to accept fault for this generation going to crap? Any willing to admit they have added to the stupid is as stupid does ACT?

my neighbour is an older european lady, very set in her ways, speaks little english. she keeps a plastic garbage can at the eavestrough of her garage to catch rain water to water her plants

I have hinted towards her relatives in the past that she shouldn't do this, however I was told that she will never change her ways

should I call the west nile hotline (in Canada, I see tv commercials about this all the time) and have them check into it, or just mind my own business

from the tv commercials I see, this is high time for mosquito breeding, and they breed in standing water and I have a 3 yr old boy that plays in our yard, just 20 or so feet from this standing water hazard

what should I do???

If so, then does this theory explain the question that many ask about how an all knowing power (God) could exist? What are your thoughts and if you have any questions or would like to discuss, feel free to e-mail.

just curious. i'm curious mainly of what non-believers in a Higher Being think they're here for? are you here to drink, party, eat and sleep and thats it? why do you want to help people? why not just walk all over everyone to get where you want to be in life, cuz there is no God right?
