For example, what if you're in a crowded place like classroom, bus, etc...

Everybody passes gas but what do people do to avoid doing it in public?

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really bad day on the day that you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day.

So, the next day at 12:01 the first person came to the gates of Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly asked the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when you died."

"No problem," the man said. "I came home to my 25th-floor apartment on my lunch hour and caught my wife having an affair. But her lover was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was half naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment.

Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of that guy!

Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on his fingers until he fell to the ground.

But wouldn't you know it, he landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he didn't die. This ticked me off even more.

In a rage, I went back inside to get the first heavy thing I could get my hands on to throw at him.

Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped it over the side. It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him!

The excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost instantly."

The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel announced, "OK, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.

A few seconds later the next guy came up. To the Angel's surprise, it was Donald Trump.

"Mr. Trump, before I can let you in, I need to hear about what your day was like when you died."

Trump said, "No problem. But you're not going to believe this. I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped, and accidentally fell over the side!

Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, starts cussing, and stomps on my fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the bottom, which broke my fall, so I didn't die right away.

As I'm laying there face up on the ground, unable to move and in excruciating pain, I see this guy push his refrigerator of all things off the balcony. It falls the 25 floors and lands on top of me, killing me instantly."

The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as Trump finishes his story. "I could get used to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very well," the Angel announces. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets Trump enter.

A few seconds later, Bill Clinton comes up to the gate. The Angel is almost too shocked to speak. Thoughts of assassination and war pour through the Angel's head. Finally he says, "Mr. President, please tell me what it was like the day you died."

Clinton says, "OK, picture this. I'm naked, inside a refrigerator......

Hi I am doing a research to see if people would go for or against the cochlear implant in deaf children, and why is the reason you chose that answer. I know that many people might go for it but why not against it? Thank you for helping me in this research.

She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace,emerald bracelets and a ruby pendant."
"But you are not wearing any of those things." "I know," said Mrs.Johnson. "My health is not good and my husband is having an affair with his secretary.

"When I die I'm sure he will marry her, and I want the b*tch to go nuts looking for the jewelry."

There's so much sexuality in our pop culture (music, movies, mags, and everyday talk), but are people actually doing it less? This is sort of an existential issue in my mind, which might be due to either urban isolation or the zoolike artificiality that surrounds us in today’s high tech world. In fact, I'm sort of a 'techie' myself.

People are waiting to get married until they're in their 30s, but are they having any sex at all in their 20s, and when they finally do get married, is sex a common thing or just an occasional thing? I keep hearing stories about wild kids bopping their classmates, and talk about how more women are even having extra-marital affairs these days, but it just seems like the average person has very little sex, if any. It's socially acceptable to talk about sex, but what about talking about the fact that there isn't really that much of it? Is there a bipolar phenomenon here? Please be honest about your experiences. Am I way off base here?

My sister was given the news that she has cancer. Now she is thinking about going back to her church, suddenly believes in god again. I just don't understand how one minute someone can be so against something and the next back into it, acting all preachy and stuff. Why do they do this??

How many lesbians or bisexual women are out there that like big, beautiful women? I've known most gay women (especially on craigslist) prefer thin women or girls that are not overweight. What happened to the love for BBW? I'm an overweight queer woman with a good personality and cool traits, but often get overlooked because of my size.

If I were to quit my job today, and I believe that God had a plan for me, other than laboring 40hrs a week with sinners, and sinning in the way that all I work there for is the money.... Do you think God will bring me into ministry?? Or is it a gradual thing?

Even the greatest minds have great difficulty pondering this age-old dilema...

If you're blind... how do you know when it's time to stop? I mean I look at what I'm getting on the paper and judge it by that... but when you're blind, how do you judge when it's time to stop?

I know that their other senses are heightened... so do they rely on those to figure it out?

If god loves us so much how can anything we do be wrong. he created us. the good and the bad parts of human nature. so how can a god that created us the way we are exspect us to be any differant than the way he created us.If hes going to set up there and watch us like a vidieo game or some kinda show for his own amusement and let us make those wrong choices and then torture us with fire in hell after we die. how is that right, he created us. he created the world this way. Ive beleived in god all my life but latley i feel im loosing faith. I have so many unanswered question. why does god let children suffer? why is he not stopping this war? why does he let people be poor and some be rich? If he wanted good loving christians, he would of created the world that way. he would of gave us peace on earth. He would be on earth with us defending all thats good, making things right for all people. the poor and the rich.

Under the teachings of Christianity, Satan is supposed to be some fallen angel that has gone into a world of evil and is trying to mess with us. I think the doctrine even says he was the smartest angel and one that god favored most. However, to believe that Satan is what he is, one could easily conclude that he is an idiot. Why you may ask? Simply because, if the doctrine and religions are right, Satan will lose in the end. Knowing that he will lose and suffer and what not, why would he keep up this act? Unless there is the possibility he may one day rule over god and be our dark lord for all eternity. Satan continuing to be Satan is as logical as a person jumping from the empire state building and thinking he'll land safely. So why, I ask, would Satan be an idiot and bother to keep up his act?

Oh, and please whynotaskdon refrain from answering. If anyone here is Satan, it is likely to be you.

* Nimrod according to the book of Genesis in the Bible was the Mighty Man and Great Hunter for God. ( I picture that to be akin to the Mythical Heroes and Great Warriors of various cultures )

* He was a Great Ruler who had dominion over many great cities including some from Babylon and Assyria. He is also believed to have built Nineveh as well.

- One source I read, says Nimrod is also the father of astrology, he is said to have married his mother who was an amazingly beautiful woman called Semiramis who was so beautiful, that when she stepped out to her balcony to take a look at the war outside the siege walls, the soldiers on both sides all stopped fighting just to admire her beauty. ( OMG!)

- It is believed the image of him and Semiramis, is the basic source image used by the Babylonians and Asyyrians to depict the Babylonian Goddess Ashtarte with Child. On a lesser scale, Isis and Horus as well.
* So is he Friend or Foe to Devotees of the Judeo-Christian faith?
