I want to know which newspaper this is that the Queen is reading in the new film. Pucture here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5341198.stm

Can't read the title unfortunately. Back when the film was set I was too young to be reading newspapers. I bet she read the Daily Mail!

32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
[33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

When a boy grows up he is called a man, usually around 18 in American culture. Why is it that the term "boyfriend" applies to all ages? A woman would call the man she's dating her boyfriend whether he is 67 or 12. It doesn't make much sense. Shouldn't the word change to manfriend and womanfriend the same time you change from being a boy/girl to a man/woman? Is there some reason the words didn't evolve this way over time? Thanks.

and don't even say a hate crime or war in iraq, because Jesus didn't do that and you know it. don't get political with it. i want to know, simply, what did Jesus, personally, do, to you. if nothing comes to mind, don't answer.

ok, here's a weird question!! ....
Ive been asking God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit (the ability to speak in tongues) and it hasn't happened yet. its been a long time now and i was wondering because sometimes i talk in my sleep and I was told that it sounds like gibberish or like I'm speaking in a different language.....

could it be that when I'm asleep my spirit feels free and not as controlled by the mind and flesh?? am i really speaking in tongues?? please help!

If your God didnt create Satan, then he is not the creator of all. If your God did create Satan, then he is merely the CEO of Hell Inc., and Satan is just the manager.

If Satan is bad, then the God who created him must be worse if he still knowingly allows Satan to run his eternal torture business.

If the catholic church was the first church and other sects of Christianity have spun off to follow the true word of god is that not proof that the church was wrong from the start or is it proof that religions make up the rules as they go?

god is a man, jesus is a man, and women are second class people. with the exception of mary, who was forcefully raped by god, from my point of view. in the bible, women is the root of all evil. it was a woman who was seductive and gave the apple to adam. it was then when god made her a second class person, destined to always be beneath men. lowered like the snake. thats one reason why i can never understand why any women would be religious. at least a man can relate to god. women probably cant relate to anything in the bible. two centuries ago women protested against the unfairness of the church and were deemed witches. suddenly any women who opposed the male dominated church or came to question it was considered a witch, a heretic. if you're not with them then you're against them. that's how witches and pagans became connected with satanism. if youre not with them then you're a satanist. therefore, if you're a heretic then you're a satanist...thats what i think. you dont have to agree

I'm 26 and my friend is 29! and she does not feel ready for marriage, and therefore, no sex.

In society, it is weird to be over 16 or 19 and not sexual. I have, but my friend has not even kissed before (at 29).


What do you think of this? & what are the chances of finding a man in his 20s who is wholly unexperienced?

I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of this quote before. I personally think it's a very excellent quote, but who am I to judge?
Do you think this is a great quote or an insignificant one?

Don't try to convert me or anything, just state your opinion on the quote.
