Worse-end state of man is mentioned, but not worst.

'Yay' looks pretty stupid to me. I know that 'yea' is the opposite of 'nay' but if you write 'Yea! We won!' it looks like 'yeah'. Any suggestions? Or just go with the stupid-looking 'yay'?

...lling shop?

I live in Austria and I need my wife to take all her old clothes to the shilling shop but she just won't take them. How can I explain, sensitively, that it's for the best as Winter is now approaching and those Summer clothes will be out of season next year?

I've always had trouble meditating, but I've never had any kind of actual instruction. I'm pretty sure that there is more to it than just sitting there. Is there an online source that can teach me step by step how to do it?

Epicurus
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?”

Ludwig Feuerbach
“It is not as in the Bible, that God created man in his own image. But, on the contrary, man created God in his own image.”

Bertrand Russell
“I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.”

"We may define "faith" as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. Where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith." We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."

Delos B. McKown
"The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike."

Robert Ingersoll, The Gods
“Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted, and heaven crammed with these phantoms.”

"This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves."

"Hands that help are far better than lips that pray."

We have but one life and one world from the beginning man has proclaimed war against his brother. It all started with Cain in the garden of Eden and has continued on to this day. We all pray for peace but we are quick to go to war. Even religions fight amongst them selves. This is a needless shame and Our Holy Father did not put us here to fight with one another our purpose is to love God and one another as we love our selves. Year after year we strip our mother Earth of her life giving natural resources, wasting what God has given us to sustain life. Mankind is vain to think this Earth is just for him, we must share it with the Animal and Plant kingdom without them life on this Earth would not be possible. Every thing has purpose and we are not one to decide what should live or die. We are not God but we are just a small part of Gods creation. Every thing on this Earth possess a soul and a spirit from the biggest creature to the smallest Ant. From the first second a life has been conceived it posses a spirit and a soul . There for any time a life has been taken whither it be human or animal it is still murder . The scriptures say thou shalt not kill for a reason. Every creature wither it be great or small has a right to live. Violence covers the face of this earth. And its up to each and every single person to put an end to it. Violence breeds violence but love doesn't always produce love. But we can end this cycle of violence with in our selves. When some one insults us we do not have to bring our selves down to their level. You can not change what is in that persons heart but you can help them to change what is in their own heart. The Bible tells us to turn the other cheek why? Because when some one hits you in retaliation our first impulse is to strike them back one blow leads to another and back and forth it continues. But by not returning the blows but offering a few kind words it stops the violence in its tracks. Then to clear our own hearts of anger we must forgive that person for their transgressions. Do not let their sin become your sin. Forgiveness is divine

I want to know people's views on this practice. And I dont just mean rich or famous people. Where are the ethics/morality/other values in people adopting kids from poor countries - filling the needs of childless couples in the West - but taking kids off their parents that just cant afford to keep them (or other reasons)?

Maybe Christians just have severe cases of ADD. Take for example this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al4G9Os0PUrZ3.JsHNtvaunzy6IX?qid=20061027004238AAIAgdK She clearly asks "HOW have your prayers been answered?" not "HAVE your prayers been answered?" and there were about 3 or 4 replies with ADDers saying "yes they have." So is reading "just a theory" or severe case of ADD? (Notice I'm being nice by not adding the most plausible, imbecility).

When there is such an active market for silicone breast and buttocks enhancement, cologen lip enhancement to make them full and sexy, padded bra's and panties, make up, mini skirts, and so much more designed specifically to draw attention to their sexuality.

Is it only plain or ugly women that object? Is it a jealousy thing about other women or what?

That would be like castration and like removal of vagina for females. That is very perverse. Couples cannot love each other anymore? Why would God take away such a natural and beautiful thing?

Do you believe that God is still revealing things for our day in age or did he stop after the bible was written?

Premarital is not cheating on someone or decieving them and you are only with one person at once. I can't see how I am commiting adultery seeing as I am gonna marry the man I have sex with.
