What about the ideas of other faiths? Should non-christians have the right to censor christian art they judge obscene (such as images of the crucifixion)? What about christian ideas?

Should we all have the right to censor anything about other faiths we find objectionable?

My 9 month old and I almost got trampled on by a flock of elementary students and their parents today dropping my son off at school. Even though I had my baby, I held the door for others after me, and went behind them. I almost got tripped twice by people in the rear, and people cutting in from the front. How rude. I had to clutch my baby to my chest to brace us in case we did take a fall. No one even said excuse me, or I apologize. Wow. Has anyone else damn near got mowed down by a human stampede in public?

I understand that sometime around 200 B.C. the books of the old testament had been canonized into the Septuagint, which was a translation of Hebrew text into Konine Greek.

Around 400 C.E. St. Jerome was commisioned to create a standardized Latin version, but was his Latin version made exclusively from the Greek Septuagint, or was it made exclusively from the original Hebrew text upon which the Septuagint itself was made?

IWhen I eat lately I feel like its all going to the wrong places. I fear that the calorie gods are angry at me for that potato I just ate and are ready to smite me in the buttocks and thighs as vengence. I also transgressed and bought a bag of rice cakes today...and ate 4 or 5 of them. I am concerned that the fat fairies are on their way. How should I atone for my sins ? I felt a 6 pack of diet soda may appease their fierce anger or maybe 5 hours on the treadmill. Can you advise me guys ?

The disciples were forbidden to have money, except for a common purse, of which Judas was the treasurer (John 13: 29)
They had common ownership of property and the marxist principle of "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" is espoused
Acts 2: 44-47
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 4: 32-35
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Dumb commercials. pontificating, liberal-eliteists celebrities. loudmouthed, narrowminded, neoconservative talk show hosts. bland, banal sitcoms. hokey, mellowdramatic, public service announcements. crappy, prefab, top 40 music. Distorted news stories with loads of bias and very little relevance. The smiling face of a decietful politician- Just tell me how much conformity people have to swallow before they lose the ability to think for themselves altogether?!

Science said there were 9 planets, so with Chiron legally being
a planet, Plutos got to go. Because science says there can only be 9. RIGHT!

The Bible clearly states that the world hates Christ and his disciples and that true followers of Christ face hatred and hostility for the lives they choose to follow. Let us pray for our christain brothers and sisters in oppressive countries>

And please only put real answers to my question, I know a lot of people put a lot of pointless religious propoganda in this category.

"Bent out of shape" basically means to be angry or annoyed, but would you agree that it is commonly used in situations where the anger is unnecessary, inappropriate or out of proportion?
There are exceptions, I would say, but the expression seems to be most common in those kind of situtations. Do other people feel that "bent out of shape" carries this inference? Thanks much!

I'm sure everyone would want to meet their loved ones. But I'm referring to interesting people from history.

I'd like to meet Aristotle, Plato, Budda, Einstein and a few others.

It would be interesting to me just to sit among people like this and listen to them talk about stuff, the greatest minds ever to live all together at the same time. Of course the greatest of all right in the middle of them, God.

I know the world was created last wednesday?
All memories historical facts and evidence of anything otherwise is merely placed there by god. I know I'm right, but I would like to see, can anyone prove me wrong?

If the world wasn't created last wednesday then why does this universe brim with the smell of freshness? Look at the proof around you. Life is a miracle brimming with the signs of evident recent creation. After all a chair created decays after time, and we have not decayed, the universe has not shone signs of age.


I'd like to see you prove me wrong. So here is you chance.
