Then why are there so many naturally occuring elements and chemical compounds that can kill us, make us go insane, or in other ways cause extreme harm?
Examples of elements would be lead, mercury, asbestos.
Additionally there are radioactive elements like radon gas that cause cancers and mutations. Not to mention the deadly gases such as high concentrations of CO2 and sulphuric acid.
The ancients had no knowlege of these things and no way of finding out. Was this Gods way of messing with us? If he is really a beneviolent God wouldn't he have made us resistant to these things?
If a rational being created humans, and professed to care and love them, wouldn't he have done things differently?

Perhaps you do, but I don't think that you need to know hate in order to know love. What do you think....

I'm in 7th grade and this is probably one of the last years I really dress up to go trick or treating. I want a great costume but not too hard to do as I don't have much time! Anyone have any good ideas?

My son is 3 yrs old and in prek and they informed me that we can't have holiday parties anymore they have to be called "fall party" =halloween and they can't dress up anymore.."winter party"=christmas party.. Yeah I said "Christ" isn't that something? What the hell is so wrong with it, so what if there are people in that class that don't celebrate it at home that doesn't mean that those whom do should have to suffer.. No one is saying that you can't do your own beliefs but because of the few that don't the ones that do can't. So to make one happy, your are saddening others.. My son didn't understand why? As far as the Christmas thing goes, they say that children can't tell people to have a Merry Christmas anymore, that they have to say Happy Holidays.. I will be damned I tell my kids to say that, it is Christ's Birthday and if people don't like it fine, but don't tell my kids they can't say it.. I told them they could say whatever they choose. Grow up people, and let children be kids.

I and all of the men that I know miss the times in our younger days when women went braless all the time. Now all you see are women in padded bras(sometimes 2). Why don't women show they are REAL women?

Why is it that so many people look down upon those whom are less fortunate? I live in springfeild illinois, and I come up to the library here to use the computer on a dialy basis and everyday I see the same homeless people around here.. I am someone who doesn't like to see people having to survive like that, and I do everything in my power to help them out.. Why don't our government do more to help them out, or people who all kinds of money and waste it on frivilous stuff..? Why is it that so many of them are young? Why can't they get a job? Am I the only one out there who see's all this and it is getting worse not better.. You know what my 3 yr old son asked me other the day when we came by the library, "mom, those people don't have homes like us.. do they? I said no they don't hun" He says mommy can we go get them some food and blankets cause it's cold and they have to be hungry.. My 3 yr old did this, if he can see it why can't the adults.. or they do and choose to turn there eyes?

you may stand alone sometimes, are you afraid to be different, stand up for what you believe, even if you are seen as a voice in the wilderness, do you follow the multitude, and back down because you dont want to stand alone?......

OK when you try "Ol Sonuf Vaorsag Gobo Iad Balt, Lonsh Caltz Vonpho, Sobra Z-Ol Ror I Ta Nazps, od Graa Ta Malprg Ds Hol-q Qaa Nothoa Zimz, Od Commah Ta Nopbloh Zien"-it doesn't actually work! Supposed to confer invisibility- actually all it did was to make me totally anonymous to everybody-no one recognised me- even my friends and colleagues. So.. what's the proper spell for this?.. or is it the way you say it?

If you don't know that the Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054 and that Protestants didn't get started until 1517, respectfully, please don't answer this question.

With out chopping off my hair, and with the use of ducktape and near any type of clothing, how can I pass off as a male?

Ive got a very femine face, and me and a friend are indeed going to be going to the theater to see who we can fool.

So How do I make myself, breasts and all, look like a man?

Any ideas?

To what extent is your religion your choice? And if you believe it is your choice, could you choose to be another religion for a day? or an hour? Not just practicing in the way they do, but truly believing with your heart like you do with your religion.
