Does that mean we all ought to judge Don by the things other people say about him in here?
Is this the way a man of God ought to behave, as has been suggested?
Or is he just trying to get traffic to his site?
BTW, my dog has one of those certificates...yes, folks, my chocolate lab, a big silly dog named Riff is an ordained minister, and can marry and bury you (along with his bones, and a couple of my shoes in the backyard). You can get those things cheap on the internet, and they are actually legal! I got one for Riff just to prove it could be done. (I guess he's the "answer dog" now.)
Comments??

As long as we can understand each other, who cares?

Isn't the idea of speaking 'properly' just something created by the upper classes in the 19th century to keep the masses down? Language is for communication, nothing more, nothing less.

God's people aren't doing this or that so he gets pissed and wipes them off the face of the earth. So and So didn't act exactly the way he wanted him to so God throws a fit and curses or plagues them.

Jesus wants a fig off the tree but it's not in season so he curses it to never bear fruit again.

Childish behavior.

Regarding these questions posted by "Praise Jesus and George Bush" a short time ago:

***************************************************************
"Since athiests have no morals, are most athiest women willing to prostitute themselves?
When are you agnostics going to grow some balls and choose a side?
You think its time that we beat the word of God into these unbelievers?
Will you laugh when the athiests and liberils are sent to hell for all eternity?
Do athiests get pleasure from killing babies while saving criminals?"
**************************************************************
What do the Christians out there think about these questions? Do you advocate beating your beliefs into people of other religions? Do you automatically assume that people of other beliefs such as Agnosticism and Atheism are immoral, work for the Devil and like to kill babies?

Finally, how do you think Jesus would answer these questions?

Parents please, what do I tell my child?
My child is a teenager with moderate cognitive delay. (Mental Retardation) He always wants to know what is wrong I keep telling him everyone is different. It is so difficult because he looks "normal". but after talking to him you understand why he is in a special class, I am told that he will never be on his own.
He wants to be like other kids. He talks about driving, girls, working, reading, I am an educated person. I am not dealing with this and I do not know what to tell him. Especially when the word retard is sp prevelant. He even has a personal care aid at home. He rebells and says "I can do that "then he just stands there and he is not doing it.
I have looked on-line read books for many years. I need some advice. I can not put it off. HE IS JUST above the range where he is happily unaware. He is aware but ......can you please??

Additional Details

I am realizing that just because I am a christain that life is not a free pass and that bad things happen in life even though you may do things right and follow God.

But I do I get over and get through the trials and realize that GOd is not singling me out.

What are ways you deal with trials and dissapointments.

the idea of 'live and let live' or 'agree to disagree' or 'you believe what you want and i'll believe what i want'....too many religious police here. its either you have to be a christian, atheist, muslim etc or you're subject to harassment or idiotic name calling....believe what you want but don't attack others for their beliefs...its simple really.

Close your eyes

imagine everyone you are talking to on yahoo answers is a person, with real intelligent thoughts and real feelings,

imagine what would happen if we all treated others like we wanted to be treated,

then open your eyes.

Question for everyone: What was it like while you imagined those things?

Isn't religion is the source of all of today's intolerance?

I realize there's a risk of re-creating what I rail against, but if religion is about intolerance, and this intolerance kills people, isn't the best way to oppose it by being intolerant of intolerance and therefore to hate religion?

If this is not a panacea, show me a better way to make sure that religion assumes LESS influence in global affairs.

I'm 30 years old and I've been around the world, and I've NEVER seen anyone "thump" their bible. I don't get why it is so widespread - is it just because it's a popular hate-filled term?
Besides, isn't that kind of like childish name-calling? Like when you called the smart kid in class "nerd", "geek", and "4-eyes!" ?
Then 20 years later I find out he owns a multi-million dollar computer company and he offers me a cool job... (cuz I never made fun of him)
SWEET!!

I have gone through some tough times all at once and instead of making me closer to the Lord, I became very bitter and resentful because I thought life would be different.

I desire to put the past in the past and go foward.

Now years later I am still joyful but much calmer than I was and In some ways I miss having that manicness because I was always on a high.

I am more steady and reliable what are postive things to do to continue to do well? I do love the Lord and He always is a help to me.

Just wondering if I'm the only one born in the U.S. who is considering leaving eventually. I don't want my children, if I decide to have them, to grow up with the values of the majority in this country. I'm thinking an organic farm somewhere in the country miles and miles from neighbors in Ireland, Scotland, or a Scandinavian country....

Who's with me....
