...from a place or being of absolute truth, what would it be?

Be more creative than the standard, "Why are we here?" question (every being in the universe knows the answer to that, on some level of their being or else they wouldn't be here).

My boss is male and is naturally flirtatious (I think). He started out by hanging out just a little longer each time at my desk, then went to putting his hand on my back to help me out of a chair, now hugs! I think it is far enough but I don't want to sue the guy or anything because I like my job. How do you nicely tell someone to back up a bit? The guy is very attractive, I'll admit, but he is also married and I know I would not want my husband hugging other women he works with.

Do you have any suggestions for making a personalized spread that works? Please include things like designing the pattern for laying out the cards and figuring out the meanings...

...Or you could direct me to a website...

...Or you could give me the name of a book (with author)...

You could even do all three (which would be an automatic best answer)!

Thanks!

My religion strictly says "don't marry anyone outside our religion." I kinda didn't get it. Doesn't god want us to love anyone- depsite what their beliefs, ethnicity, OR RELIGION they are? Thats what I believe, but I was afraid to question. Then I met my bf, who wasnt in my religion. My parents do not approve, because he;s not in my religion, but he makes me understand life. He's read the bible and he understands, and he questions like I do, and now I think that its ignorant to say "If you leave this religion, god will hate you!" because, what if you believe god? Do you really need a religion to tell you that every other belief is wrong and a sin? The thing is, my parents wont let me talk to my bf! They say he's a "bad association" but i think, why is he a bad association if he believes in god, just like I do, but just not in my religion? don't you agree?

are hateful and rude about it? If someone says something about God, they get snobby and offended, or go beyond disagree and try to be extra negative about it? Why do some people act an a** like that?

I do know some things emo, they are usually emotionally hardcore, but there are emo bands out there that don't cut themselves or do things like that. Is there like a difference between emo music and emo people like goths?

As some of you who've already answered my questions today can tell (thank you, btw), I'm really grappling with the whole Athiesm thing. I realized recently that I haven't really taken the time to understand why you believe the way you do. And so, I'm taking the time. I'm asking.

Would it be fair to say that many of you are more opposed to religion & religious dogma than to God?

Let me put it to you this way: Think of the coolest place you've ever been with the least amount of intervention of man. Or perhaps think of a living creature in nature, say, a deer, a wolf, or say dolphins, or even a beloved pet. Or perhaps think of the person who's meant the most to you, who, without question, has contributed beneficially to your life.

Now scrape everything you've ever heard about God & let's make it bear-bones creation & Creator. If it were to become blaringly evident that this creation is merely a reflection of this Creator, would you still be opposed to such a one?

I'm amused when people answer my questions like I seriously think that atheists walk around persecuting christians for no reason, or if they are all drunkards, or that they lie cheat and steal with no remorse, etc. Look at my history of questions you'll see what I mean. In any event. I'm just foolin y'all! SHEESH! Lighten up.

Who are our Witnesses?
In evaluating evidence, we must consider not only what the witness says but also his character and his trustworthiness. Ancient historians were usually paid by royalty who desired to be flattered. They were not motivated to make truth known. The New Testament writers were not paid by anyone. On the contrary, they risked loss of liberty and even death for what they wrote. No impartial court could lightly dismiss the evidence of witnesses ready to suffer such hardships for what they assert. They declare unanimously that they saw, heard, and touched the reality of Jesus' resurrection. If we trust pagan historians whose motives are suspect, why not trust historians whose motives are pure – as evidenced by their willingness to suffer.

We have only three options when it comes to examining the disciples' trustworthiness as eyewitnesses:

1) Either they were all liars motivated by some evil desire, or

2) They themselves were deceived, or

She says that nothing beats actually picking out a real present for someone. The trouble is, what if this person is someone who has everything and you don't know what they would want or need? I say in that case a giftcard would be fine. Mom says tacky tacky tacky. (I'm speaking of Christmas presents in case you want to know). We've got 23 people to buy for and the budget is tight this year so I think gift cards are ok for adults. The kids we would get toys for. Whatcha think about it?

They can see in your house. This boy, at school, told me that thousands of people watch you through the computer screen. Is that true?
Now when I undress in my room I put a towel over the computer.

A female muslim teacher has just been suspended for wearing a veil in class. Muslims are also calling for arrests of individuals that use defamatory remarks against Allah. Isn't this an infringement on our rights of freedom of speech?When our beliefs and fundamental attitudes are so different can we really coexist in todays society? I'm a realist not a racist so please refrain from jumping on a bandwagon that doesn't exist.I see a lot of fear in people in my line of work and I'm worried because I know what fear can turn into! What are your views?

Specifically, if the wife goes by her maiden name, is she addressed as Mrs. *maiden name*?

How would that look in a letter?

Dear Mr. Such and Such and Mrs. Maiden Name?
