When you lend someone something, is it rude for them to ask you to pick it up? Isn't it their responsibility to return it to you when requested?

Example: I have lent multiple things to a friend who lives in the same city but does have acar. Whenever i request her to return something, she says she cannot get it to me as it is basically an inconvience for her to take public transit over to me. I fnd this very annoying as it is just an inconvenient for me to go pick it up. She also does this when she requests to borrow something.

As said in other questions a lot of the major religions started with the same belief,God,Jesus ect,is there any chance in the future that they will converge back into one religion.

we should also ban divorce and prosecute fornication and adultry.

More people, especially children, are hurt by divorce and unfaithful dads and moms than they are by gays marrying. Divorce changes childrens entire life and one partner walks away free or with another partner while the other raises children in poverty. Everyone's life is negatively affected.

If you truly believe in the sacredness of marriage than an iron clad contract should be drawn up and withheld by the law.

This is not my fight but if this sacredness is the only reason we are in this fight it makes no sense.

Like the questions about throwing salt over your shoulder and the rabbit's foot and my mother used to say if you drop cutlery that means company is coming. Does anyone know WHY people came up with this stuff in the first place? Thanks. :-)

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery...in the very act...the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?...He that is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her...being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one...Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?...No man, Lord...Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more...I am the light of the world: he that followth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life...Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man, And yet if I judge, my judgment is true..."
John 8:3-16

Did the adultress beg for mercy, ask for forgiveness, or express a belief in the divinity of Jesus to receive his love?

What does this teach you about the gift of Love?

This is for anyone who does not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. What would you do if the people you love the most, accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior? How would you react? And why would you react this way?

Taking the bus to school, I hard many stories that gave me a cold chill. Day by day people from all races dish out their laundry of issues on public place which I found to be disrespecting. I am not to single out race, black woman are the worst. don't call me racists because i am black. These women won’t have respect for themselves and dish out their problems ranging from their boy friend to family members. Sometimes they would compare the size of their boy friends dick to their last boyfriend or how their boyfriends and lovers perform on bed lat night or this morning before work. They never shut up and every one will be listening to them. One day I recall getting off the bus and wait for another bus because these woman were to graphic and sexual. Some mothers with children about 5 years old all felt bad. My point is that why do people like to dish out their Lund unary in public.

I would like to know in a practical manner what I can do to actively seek the greater gifts of the Holy Spirit in a daily manner. I certainly have an eager desire for these gifts to be manifested in my ministry as I share the Gospel with the unreached, so that God can glorify Himself and confirm His word and son Jesus Christ. But, I just don't know how to practically go about seeking and receiving these gifts. I would be very grateful for any direction and assistance you could give me.

Very good analysis of the issues related to being dogmatic, either atheistic or theistic. If you do not like reason and logic, then do not read. I usually do not post links, but, could not do this justice without a link.

of their menfolk that they are pieces of meat who deserve to be raped if they do not?

This is what Australia's senior Muslim cleric had to say on the subject:
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20653032-601,00.html

These comments have just received the endorsement of the mufti's employer, the Lebanese Muslim Association, who refused to sack him for the comments. By way of background, several youths of Lebanese background received heavy prison sentences some time back for the organised gang rape of Australian girls.

It's time to liberate yourselves, Muslim women, and take yourselves out of the dark ages, and throw off the head to foot outfits, and campaign for an end to polygamy, while you are about it. Good luck.

I know they don't preach for their religion but if it was the clear truth people would convert to it.
