prisons gaols and mental hospitals? I have read that in the USA the highest percentages of practicing Christians, after church congregations are to be found in prisons. It is stastically true that there are a much higher percentage of people with criminal convictions in a church congregation then in a random sample. Apparantly one of the places you are least likely to find practicing Christians is in post graduate schools. Does this mean Christians are more likely to be criminals or mentally ill? We have all seen the high degree of affinity that priests, ministers and other clerics have for paedophillial sexual crimes, and a week does not go by without some TV minister being charged with financial crimes. Is this a general pattern for Christians, ie that many are criminals pretending or deluding themselves as be goodly and godly as some kind of self denial for their criminality? If you say no, please explain these phenomena in (in a rational manner- no silly Bible quotations).

I was just wondering, be I have always heard that Gabriel was the arc angel or the keeper of the gates to heaven, but some other people have said that the arc angel is Micheal. and yet others have said that they are both arc angels witha few more arc angels in the mix.

I was wondering if you could tell me who the arc angel was and/or who the others arc angels are, and where you find them in the bible.

how come when white people dress casually, they still look so put together and they can easily acheive the whole "messy" look, but when people of colour do it, they look poor and not put together very well..
does anyone agree or make sense of that??





P.S- IM NOT *****HATING***** ON ANYONE SO DONT BLAME ME.

Can you think of an example of a convicted felon on death row who accepted salvation just before they were executed? If so, what killer did it? Thanks

Surely, intelligence demands that something could not have come from nothing. The majority of modern science shows this universe had a beginning. So what, or who, do you believe put everything in motion?

It's happened to me before from a friend in college for two years, who never owned up about it until I told him I was going to the cops, whoever the person was. Then it stopped.

Way to feel good about my life. Thoughts?

douche? I was in school lasts week and I was sitting on my boyfriends lap at lunch with my favorite pair of shorty shorts. The principal came by the lunch table and said, first of all this is not a hotel room this is a school. Second of all, if you ever wear those shorts again you will be in detention all day. So I went to his office because I could feel that he was mad at me. Most of the time he will let me climb on him and work my magic. We worked out this deal so that he will never talk to my parents. But, this time he said no thanks, you need to douche. He really hurt my feelings. What is a douche?

By the way I am aware this will get deleted for not being a question but I wanted to let you know what I actually meant in response to your post.
I do NOT like it when someone steals anothers avatar and then impersonates them. I like you as you. I do not want someone else to hijack it and make fun of you. I was not meaning to imply that you were acting weird or anything. This is an apology.Thanks for the defense.

I am more interested in marriage for companionship rather than for sex. Also, I don't plan on telling my future husband that I am bisexual or that I am more attracted to females because then he probably wouldn't marry me. I really want the best of both worlds. Marriage life and also I want to have a female friend to be intimate with as well without my husband knowing. Do you think this is wrong? I don't think I will be happy with sex within my marriage only but also I won't be happy not being married. What should I do??

Alright, I'm not superstitious, but I've looked down at my odometer and have seen a digit JUMP from 8-9 or 9-0 rather than roll up slowly. Also, I've looked up at a clock and seen the minute hand move over one minute in a single jump.

This is not something I look for or expect and it's a surprise every time it happens (it's happened maybe 8-10 times in my life). Has anyone else ever experienced this?

There are certain signs before Our gods second coming right? I have a vague momery when they were talking about weather changes? Some where in the Bible (forgive for my lack of knowledge) Say that Gods turns fruitful lands into barren deserts and deserts into Fruitful land...anyone knows where this is?

Why and when did the homosexual community take the sign of the rainbow that was originally the sign from God to noah and use it themselves?
