I'm honestly curious. I see on here frequently how christians will lie about Einstein's "deathbed conversion" (which we know is false - he did not convert on his deathbed to his nurse, who was the only one with him when he died) -- and we also know very well that Darwin changed his faith several times throughout his life, and it is well known that he had lost all faith in Christianity long before his death (even his own daughter Henrietta confirmed that) -- yet, christians still come on here and lie about his death, and claim that he converted, too, which is patently false. (By the way, you can verify this on any historical site, or a site like Snopes.com that debunks urban legends).

Is it the christian low self-esteem that drives this need to lie in order to make their stuff look better? Is it a seriously low level of confidence in their faith and cult beliefs that cause it? I'm honestly curious -- and if christians can be truthful in this case, please reply.

I used to be a nanny for their son, and so I got very close to all of them. But, they still are my previous employers, so "love" is a little awkward. It's just an informal letter saying hello. Thank you!

I'm sure there have been Isolated incidents, but is there a "tradition" of this like in the Catholic , Anglican, and fundamentalist christian churches?

"Smile -it can't be that bad." I can not count the times I have had people say that to me......HOW do they know how bad it is??? Do they not stop to think --maybe her house just burned down--or someone close just died...or whatever.. I personally could gouge out the eyeballs of the people that say it to me......anyone else feel the same-if not please tell why it doesn't bother you.

what are your opinions on muslims wearing veils in public?

2006-10-16 09:03:25 · 24 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

The UK isn't a muslim country and muslims should abide by our rules and values. If they want to wear their religous dress they should wear it in their country. We are a christian country and now telling christians its wrong to wear a tiny cross. This is political correctness gone mad.

All I can manage is a scraggly little goatee, would they let me be a Muslim with that, or would Allah be offended by my lack of facial hairiness?

Obviously not all Christians feel the same way, but most that I know, who are conservative and Republican, do not believe in global warming, and deny scientific evidence that it is occurring or that humans are responsible for it. I just don't understand why this has become a political issue, and why many Christians are against efforts to stop global warming. Can you help me understand? And please don't accuse me of being political myself on the other side - I honestly do not know, and that's why I'm asking. No hidden agenda. Thanks!

For example, if someone told you that you could be healthier, wealthier and happier by using Feng Shui, would you feel that person hates you?

Would you let them choose a religion or would you want them to stick with yours? Would you let them have friends of other faith?

Last year I won a bet when Notre Dame beat Michigan and I got to pick my girlfriend's Halloween costume. I made her go as a sexy French Maid complete with fishnets sexy shoes and everything. This year, Notre Dame played like garbage and she won. She has promised me a costume far worse than the French Maid costume which she sadly threw away. She was hot in it. She has decided we will let the fine folks at Yahoo Answers help us. I have long black hair that I wear in a ponytail and she wants to get to make it pretty. She wants me to wear a girl's costume and since I'm 5'9" she doesn't think she'll have any trouble finding something. Otherwise we're leaving it up to you. She will pick the most creative answer. However, if the majority of people let me off the hook I can wear a guy's costume of my choosing for Halloween. Please help me out here this is at least 3 parties with all my friends we're talking about here.

Christmas is just around the corner and I have no interest in buying gifts for people. I love to shop, but I have had major financial problems this year. I hate getting into drastic debt or taking myself down to the last dollar each year. It is not only the money issues, but I hate trying to be mind readers with people. I take time and effort trying to find gifts people like and can use, but with some people that is impossible. I just always wondered how often people take things back or use gift receipts. In recent years, I started to give gift cards and people also give me gift cards, but in a way, it is pointless...like everyone is just passing money around. Throughout the years, I also made homemade gifts such as scrapbooks and memorable pictures with nice frames, but I know some members of my family are so cluttered with stuff that they don't have room to even display that type of stuff. I guess my question is: How do I get my family members to not go crazy with xmas shopping?
