In U.S.A. (or anywhere), are fed. buildings and private homes flying flags at half-mast in memory of 9/11/01?

As a private homeowner with an American flag on my outdoor pole, I was wondering if most people will fly it at half-mast? I just can't remember what we have all done concerning this for the past 4 yrs..

A question to all Christians?

The people of France and many other Northern and Eastern
European countries were polythesist in my Opinion Nordic, Celtic Pagan etc. The VERY HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH sent out Christian Armies and Conqured these areas, and the Kings were forced to convert to Christianity.
No matter the people Did not Convert for atleast about a decade, after which the Church asked the Kings to raise the Agricultural taxes and the Church lands would be Exempted from Taxes
In those Days the Societies were mainly agricultural they could not handle this economic exploitation and Thought that Jesus was not such a bad guy and surrendered before the Church and Converted

If you do a Historical study than 75% of the Countries where Christianity is prevalent have been defeated By christian armies and their population have been Economically Or Militarily Coerced into Christianity is not it a Miracle that 2 billion People are Christians.
Do you want to Know how they Converted Spain?
So what do you think ?

Why would God allow (Some evil).......?

Time and time again I see this question asked in someway or another . He gave us life and gives us knowledge. Then we rebel against Him, breaking His law, Then we point our fingers back at Him and blame Him for our misdeeds demending to know why He allow these evils. Why didn't He stop the child killer? For that matter why didn't He stop you from sinning. Would you love Him if He forced you to obey Him?... You might tell Him you love Him out of fear but would you really love Him? Would you feel loved if people were forced to say they loved you? You can't honestly say you would want such a world. God is doing what is required, 99.999% of the evil in this world is caused US not by Satan and not by God. ...Jim

What is so dangerous about Iran having nuclear weapons? Why not give them a chance to do their evil?

I mean why not let them have them, in fact why not let every country have them. But in the case of Iran. What can they really do that a country like the United States or Russia can't do to them 1,000 times over. Maybe you might consider me a heartless individual to say let them strike first if they really want to. But personally if me or my family were to be killed in an attack by Iran it wouldn't bother me because i'd know that the whole country would be destroyed. Personally i'm more concerned with Russia & what's left of their nukes from the soviet days. It's funny with all of these people out there that believe in God, yet you won't act like God does if he's real. God doesn't smite someone for doing something he thinks they might do, or because he knows they have the ability to do it. God doesn't keep someone from doing something that is evil. God makes you suffer for it later. Not saying that anyone should nuke anyone. This ? is aimed towards believers in God & why their stance is

Pints in the USA?

Do the people of the USA measure liquid in pints? We in the UK measure milk and beer in pints. A pint is equal to 20 fluid ounces.

The reason I ask is because I was astounded to learn that the US gallon is someway short of an imperiel gallon. There are eight pints (or 160 fluid ounces) in an imperiel gallon. How do you measure your gallons?

Is liter the correct US spelling of litre?
