I know it's used regularly in Byzantine Catholic services, and also, i think, in Orthodox and Roman Catholic ones.

Some who ask questions here in R&S are trying to further their own agenda - I guess that's pretty natural. But in doing so, what is the point of name calling, slandering, and in general making fun of others who are honestly trying to answer some of life's hardest questions? What do you really get out of it? I just can fathom how it helps anyone in any way. Can someone please explain - I mean REALLY explain?

if you died and satan showed you that your family that died before you like your grandma your aunt your grandpa and your dad were in hell and were in alot of pain and they were screaming "help me please!" then the devil told you "if you go to hell with me than i will let your whole family go to heaven" and jesus came down to get you and and told you that "this deal is real if you spend your afterlife in hell with satan then he will accept your family into heaven" would you do it? seeing your grandma in pain like that, would you do it?

We are trying to pay back a check that didn’t clear our bank due to financial difficulties. My husband is in the army and deployed and we had some problems financially. Something very distrbing happened. This check writing collection agency somehow got our non published phone number and cell phone number and I have no idea how they could retrieve this information since they never had it the first place. This is a new number. I feel that confidentiality has been broken and I just would like to know how they go about getting our cell phone numbers and home number when they never had it to begin with. How do they do this and what should I do? Please help.

If God so loved us that he allowed Jesus to be sacrificed for the betterment of mankind, wouldn't God incourage stem cell research? Jesus cured so many sick people, surely he would not be against finding cures for so many illnesses.

And you say that children are "only kids" and don't know any better. However, you use the exact same logic to justify your belief in your imaginary sky-pixie, that children do to justify thiers.
And they have an advantage over you, they actually have evidence to back up thier belief. Santa leaves them presents, the Easter bunny leaves them eggs and candy, the Tooth fairy takes thier old teeth and leaves money behind...
You on the other hand, have no evidence whatsoever.
So why disbelieve one type of fairy and believe another?

I run a group for people with learning diffculties. We used to be called the Peter Pan club (ie never grown up) but we are going to have to get rid of that name. Any good and relevant suggestions would be fantastic.

These people are classed as being mentally handicapped so no maliciousness please.

I have heard that laying with a man or a woman without being bounded by marriage, is a sin.
So I ask you what is marriage. Can we conclude that the definition of marriage today is the same as it was in biblical times. Do we really know? Is marriage a union of two people by common law. Is it the declearation of their union in front of loved ones after a blood test, and a signing of a paper?
Or is it the love in their hearts that they share together. SO if this is so how can we say it is a sin. Has the words of the bible been misconstrued so that man can place judgement? Is is a sin to lay with someone with a piece of paper of a marriage, but without love,as so many do today, because of the branding of mans eyes?
Be careful my friend how you answer, most of us can count at least one person we know who lives their life with another not from love, but conveneiance, and status. Dosent god= love
And if two people have love then they have god. And this is the marriage of god, and man.

Ive got this friend which I have deep feelings for. He had to move away for work, and weve kept in touch through email. I get frustrated and lonely because we dont spend anytime together anymore. Emails just doesnt cut it. I feel like a wuss talking about how I miss the good times. He never says anything back, or even talks about how he misses me. So I decided to stop responding altogether, and wait awhile. Today, after three days of No response from me. He asked--IF I was still around! ... Should I write him back or wait more.. Does this mean that he misses me and just dont have the balls to admit to it?
