If I was Ted Haggard and I didn't do what I was being accused of...then I wouldn't Resign my position as head of the Church...I would Defend myself, If I truly Didn't do it...Does anyone else agree with me? Do you think the President would step down as President if he was accused of the same thing...If you didn't do it..then you have nothing at all to worry about. Right?

I often hear people in the UK use the term "bloody".
It is used in movies and literature too. In fact, I sometimes use it here in the States.
I have asked people to describe it's meaning and origin, but I haven't had any bloody-good answers yet.

I would like to know the origin and evolution of the word more than the meaning. Does anyone really know?

I am currently dating someone, who constantly does not keep thier word. I mean its about the simple things, like calling me back or even keeping a date as planned. And they always have a excuse for it. I mean I live by the saying of "excuses are tools of incompetence and those who specialize in using them seldom accmplish anything" So should i trust that these excuses are valid or should i just down grade the relationship.

I'm leaving for good tonight because tomorrow (November 4th) is my birthday and I don't want to waste anymore time on here.

BTW, I'm a Christian.

From today's newspaper:

"One of the nation's most influential conservative Christian leaders, the Rev. Ted Haggard, resigned yesterday as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and temporarily stepped aside as pastor of a Colorado mega-church after a self-described male escort accused him of paying for gay sex.

Haggard, an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, vigorously denied the allegation. "Never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I'm steady with my wife. I'm faithful to my wife," he told a Colorado television station.

If we measure how much we value life, solely by our dread of dying, then it may well be that we have no sense of its value... at all

Basically my question is exclusively for practicing Hindus ! Nithyananda Mahaprabhu is an incarnation of Adishesha- the divine multi-headed serpent of Lord Vishnu. He was incarnated as Laxmana, Balrama & then as Nithyananda Mahaprabhu. He is worshipped by many Kannadigas, Konkanis & Tulus. By worshipping who will I get more material benefits - Shirdi Sai Baba or Nithyananda Mahaprabhu ?

I just feel the need to drop out for a little while. Could I go to a homeless shelter in another state? A convent? Who would let me stay somewhere in exchange for chores or whatever? I don't think I could work more than part time because I'm not feeling well emotionally. Any ideas would be appreciated. It doesn't matter if it's very far away - I just want to be safe and anonymous for a while with a simple lifestyle.

Why is it ok to portray people from Kazakhstan as ignorant and racist.

How would people react if the character was from Africa

During voluntary work I come across a lot of people who have had problems with crime and anger. One person I met told me he had become a Christian, and that he had been forgiven his previous misdeeds-fine so far, however he went on to say that he would be forgiven if he committed further misdeeds as long as he asked forgiveness from God he would get it.
I have no interest in persuading him not to believe in the concept of God's forgiveness, if that works for him that's fine, but still I would like to be able to point out his errors in those thoughts from a Christian perspective, that's if there is an error? it certainly seemed a consistent argument he was putting forward, unfortunately he is not too bright, and I almost made up a biblical story that ended with people with those thoughts being likely to go to hell, but that would have been disingenuous in the extreme. Thanks in advance for any serious answers from Christians.

I got the idea from several places to wash my 6 year olds mouth out with soap, because he was talking ugly. I did it last night and now he is still mad at me and is acting like a tried to 'kill' him or something. He was talking ugly in front of a friend of mine and also called my friend an old, ugly, woman right in front of her. BTW, he is usually not like that, but yesterday it was one thing right after the other with him. He is acting so upset with me, that I am thinking that it was a mistake to wash his mouth out. What is your opinion on that method and will he ever get over being mad at me, because it is breaking my heart.


P.S. Please don't be mean.

Some believe God is everywhere, where exactly is all the demons and bad a$s spirits and angles then? What about the Christian boogy man aka Satan. Can these bad spirits pretend to be good spirits or even pretend to be God?

Think about this too:
