Dispite your belief that the United States is a Christian nation, it is not. Look at the cars we drive and the houses we own. Look at how many resources we consume and even that will never be enough. Not long ago humans' largest buildings were dedicated to religion, now they are dedicated to big buisness who regard you as a consumer and nothing more. Any comments?

Jesus EXPLAINED to his disciples the meaning of the tares of the world. #1..the tares are the children of the wicked one. #2..the enemy that sowed them was the devil. Those are Jesus's own words. Genesis 3:15 we read what God told the serpent.."And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy SEED and her SEED...." Then God continue's and tells Eve that He will multiply her sorrow and her CONCEPTION..( for eating a Apple?). In the book of 1John 3:12 it states this.." Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one.................". My point is this: Do you agree with Jesus when He say's, the tares are indeed children of the devil. As for me...YES!!

Free Masonry intrigues me so much, I wish I knew one. In fact, I probably DO know one, but I wouldn't know. I hope someone can share some input.

Here I am again.

The point now is: can I use, in dood English, the following constructions:

"I don't need nothing"; "I don't want nothing"; and

"I did not never write that", can I?

Here we have two negation forms, don't we? I'm asking it because, in portuguese, we can say: "I don't want nothing from you" (Eu não quero nada de você), or "I never wanted nothing from you..." (Eu nunca quis nada de você).

Tnx,

very curious.

Why is it that when drawings of the Prophet Mohammad were published Muslims all over the world united to protest and object the slandering of Islam

Yet

When terrorist all over the world continue to attack innocent children, jews, christians, americans, and so on there is no united protests and objections from the huge Islam believers?? Killing in the name of Allah and Islam is just as much slander as is drawing a picture of the prophet, if not more severe! Islam practices peace why do these killings go on without protest from REAL PEACEFUL MUSLIMS???

This is one of the most hideous war crime in a Bible filled with them. It is simply impossible to read this and still believe that it was inspired by a kind and loving God. Here's a brief summary, but if you haven't read the entire story, be sure to do so. (Numbers 31:1-35)

God tells Moses to "avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites." So "they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males," taking the women and children captive.

But when the officers returned from the battle, Moses was angry with them, saying, "Have ye saved all the women alive?" So he tells them to

...kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

is the modern day Bible authentic? some verses in the Bible say the same as the Quran. why is the Bible not respected as the Quran is? why do we have different types, kinds and versions of the Bible, but only 1 Quran? is it possible that God will say 2 things that contradict each other? all these are available if you can sturdy the Bible cover to cover.

I don't mind doing it once in awhile as a guy and out in public i usually open doors for women, but once i was in a hurry and didn't open a door for a women and got glared at. In the subway, i took the only seat ahead of another women and got glared at. What gives? I think its great when people appreciate some type of chivalry but to expect it. What gives?

I just have this thought that teen boys with long hair give off the impression that they are punks,or involved in gangs and drugs. I know this is not always the case but in my opinion it does give people the wrong impression. Think about it, how many honor roll,smart, well disciplined kids do you see with long hair?
