Okay , here are a few that i have questions on:

Noah's ark ..if 2 of every animal were on board and the world is only between 4000-10,000 years old (as many christian see it) why are their flood stories in many of the other religous cultures, such as indian, aztec, chinese, etc... happening around the same time of noah? They were not on board, right? Then how do they know and how could they record a massive flood at the same time? Were not all people destroyed as stated? If two of everything were on board..that means dinosaurs, correct? How could the ark take 2 of everything, esp. 60-150 foot tall creatures and all the food? Were the dimensions incorrect? What about insects, etc.. If all people except those onboard were destroyed, did noah pull a "Lot" and repopulate with his daughters?
I am not trying to be cute, i really want to know, so if you have an answer share it, but do not act like i know the answers - i am asking because i do not know the answers. thanks!

Satan tempted Adam and Eve, so they sinned. If it weren't for Satan, they would not have sinned. We all became sinners because of this terrible, terrible act of disobeying God. Jesus came for the purpose of saving everyone from the wickedness of Adam and Eve.

But, if it weren't for Satan, there would be no sin, so Jesus would never have died to save us from our sins. So Christians would not even exist. It seems to me that Christians owe Satan a debt of gratitude. After all, if it weren't for Satan, Christians could not spend their lives bragging about how they're going to Heaven and everyone else is going to Hell.

There's a 'manager' who constantly uses her speakerphone and I sit right outside her office. I do not report to her nor do I have anything to do with her division. I cannot move where I sit (we just relocated). She NEVER uses the handset - I think she thinks her business is sooooo important she has to use the speakerphone (ie: draws attention to herself). How do I politely tell her to either close her door or pick up the damn handset! Oh she does not use it to let other's be in a meeting - it's just one-on-one conversation. thanks!

I ask the question not to offend anyone, I respect everyones beliefs so please try to refrain from hateful comments. what if god was just the great wizard of oz, maybe he dosent even know why he is god, but knows that in order to have faith in him you must have faith in yourself? what if god was just a good friend at the end of the bar waiting for you to sober up, so he can take you home? He knows that you know the way, but from the blur of this life you have forgotten the directions. what if the meaning of god was not the meaning we suggest. what if the meaning of god was just to implie more of something that we cant understand?

I met a guy online. He is Bi and I have no real sexual history. I moved in with him. We were just roommates. I secretly watched him, and saw from time-to-time he watched me. After talking with him about sex and life I couldn't hide that I was sexually attracted to hm. I told him I was interested...he told me he was to. We kissed. I told him I would be willing butI wanted a committment. He told me the same. I felt kinda excited before, finally I met a gu who I felt comfortable enough to try. Not much came out of it. I guess because I was green. He told me that he was a str8 top. I was a bit concerned. He never tried to top me though, he never kissed me, touched me, or anything. I was confused so I pursued him, finally he started to refuse to kiss me or hug me. He would go out until 2am or even the whole nite. But, he never tried to become intimate with me. He said he was tired.

There are some intelligent people here, and I'm wondering if any of you know why some people who are hell bent on suicide anyway, such as the Amish shooter, take innocents out with them.

To me that just seems like a cowardly, despicable act, yet it appears to be quite common.

Do any of you know the PSYCHOLOGY behind this?

Personal opinions?

Thanks for your time, and I put this in R&S because I like it here. You all give great answers.

A question of a white boy wanting accepance from his fellow black students has been removed (coz white people are devils and racism never happens from blacks towards whites)
whereas a question from a black boy wanting acceptance from his fellow white students has not been removed 'oooohh.....poor black kid, the disgusting horned honkeys should be hanged, let this queston be seen by everyone so everyone knows racism still happens towards black people, how evil the white devil is'

I feel like killing myself when things like this happen, I can't describe my disbelief.

I've been leading a community group for junior high/high school kids for about 2 years now. We do community service events and the like. Our group is large and I became overwhelmed and asked the board that oversees the group's activities for some help. Two people stepped forward and have done a great job helping out. A third person, however, has recently wanted to become more involved with the kids. He wants to attend all our events and be a person that the kids will talk to if they need help. He never married, is older, a church man and works for a computer company. Sounds good, but I just don't think a man of his age should be hanging around kids this age. That aside, I can't shake the feeling that there is something else wrong with this guy. Intuition? Irrationality?
