I’ve only been there a handful of times (and I live less than 30 miles away), usually only to go to the airport(s). Once, my family and I were stuck in a left-turn lane for 20 minutes because the damn pedestrians kept walking in front of the cars in front of us. I know pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way, but this was more than ridiculous. When it was finally our turn to turn, the moronic pedestrians walked right in front of our car, oblivious to the fact that my husband was willing to run them over to finally get a chance to turn. Most of them didn’t even acknowledge our car until it was just about to hit them. How can anyone want to live or drive in a city like this? If you actually enjoy living in this kind of environment, please enlighten me as to how you can stand it.

About the so-called Virgin Mary appearances?

For years, the ghost figure of Mary has been appearing before millions of people, what do you think about them?

I think I know who's responsible for them, but I won't say... ;o)

Pastors in NIgeria now exploit Tithe to amass wealth. They live in oppulence, while their gullible followers languish in poverty. Nigeria is today under a seige or an invasion from christian fundamentalists. Unlike in Europe, Churches here are replacing factories on daily basis. People are dailing looking for miracles. Please, suggest ways that would put a halt to this madness, if only to avert future religious crisis. I am an unbeliever, but I love my country and have sympathy for my ignorant countrymen and women who fall victims to these sweet-mouthed pastors.

You say God gives us freewill, but then you do everything he tells you to do. Why wouldn't God just make us so that we did everything he wanted? Why leave room for error? What's the benefit of leaving room for error? What's the benefit of freewill if ultimately we have to do what God wants or we suffer?

By giving us a choice is that really make us any better? With freewill we have people burn in Hell. But you say freewill allows us to do more...but all you want to do is worship God.

muslims collect money on fridays
jews collect money on saturdays
christians collect money on sundays

hindus and buddhists collect money everyday of the week

while the imams, mullahs, priests, ministers, monks and sadhus are getting richer their followers are getting poorer

why so?

But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. That's why his blood is much more powerful and makes our [f] consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death.

Having a boyfriend. I mean, I get the point that at some point you'll want intimacy, but wtf is the point at fifteen-sixteeen-seventeen? At my school all these girls have boyfriends and are "going out" with boys- what exactly IS "going out"?

Personally, I'm fifteen- I've never had a bf. I don't see the point in "going out" with a boy. I never have the time, lol and I'm wondering where all these girls are finding the time to do their school stuff and, haha, their boyfriends (oh that was sleazy of me to say). And they dump them in like two weeks or so! Where is the logic in having a "boyfriend" at this age?

Just wondering.. thanks.

Just asking because I posted another question about black girls all over white girls in the club. I was accused of being racist because I noticed this, and told that color shouldn't matter. I agree. color shouldn't matter. So why is it ok for black guy to only seek white girls just because "they're easier to get along with" and "black women have nasty attitudes" but not ok for me to notice? Would these guys be racist too?

Abraham was tested by God to kill his son issac. Abraham followed God's command and took his son Issac up the hill to sacrifice him. When he was about to kill Issac, the heavens opened and God said "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." And God offered a ram instead. What is the moral of this story?

Judaism....?
Help! I meed a crash-chorse on Judaism. My boy friend is Jewish and I have to met his parents tommrow. If they ask me, what do i NEED to know. We (my boyfriend and I) haven't told them yet that I'm not Jewish. We were gonna tell them when they meat me. Iknow, I know, always be honest. But It's too late for that one. They only want him to date a nice Jewish girl, but I'm babtist.
P.S. I'm a vegetarian (they don't know that eaither) does that matter any? I know that they can't eat pork.
