I have many Christian friends more so than anything becasue it's the most marketed religion, and I have wiccan friends, scientologists, catholic, you name it. I have been told by a fellow Christain, that christians are not doubters. So what I want to know is if they arent, then where did this term back sliding come from? Yes I was once a back slider, but now I have found god again. I didnt realize he was lost? I am sorry but I dont make excuses for my negative behavior as being bad, or something I must justify by saying I was lost. To me being lost is apart of knowing when you find your way, and needs no explanation, so why do this to yourself. Just say I doubted, and feared, but no Christians do not doubt? OK someone please explain?

Hi I'm in the library and just got out of 2nd period. I get to do research on Monday for the next 45 mins. Sometimes a different day of the week but this week its Monday. I decided to do an oral presentation for current events on the above topic. I usually like something controversial to rattle the chain of that politically correct Social Studies teacher that I have that cant see anything good in Israel but can justify all sorts of Islamic terriorism. Anyway I appreciate the relevant passages in the Koran that justifies murder for my report also. Thanks.

This is the root cause for such a positive and passionate Japanese society.

You know, when they just do something really strange like place their head the same direction as you, etc, and it's just plain weird and you wanna slap 'em?

I did this yesterday and it seemed like the people were offended. I didn't make plans to visit so I had no idea I'd be at their home or that they would be cooking. Because I didn't know I was visiting these people or that they were cooking I ate prior to being invited. I explained all of this to them, but it still didn't seem to sit well with them.

Moral and ethical guidlines that we have today were handed down from millenia past.
And it has nothing at all to do with Religion.

Before the ten commandments were "handed down" to Moses, do you suppose stealing was OK?
Many of the things listed on the ten commandments aren't even considered that bad anymore!

What's worse not going to church or molesting a child (not listed anywhere specifically in the bible)?
What's worse? Coveting your neighbors' goods or having an abortion or two or ten?(again, not listed anywhere specifically)
I could go on and on with this.

... whether it be anger, or frustrations ... or things you would not dare to say in public... or just can't ???

Are some of the most abusive people on here the types that would probably avoid eye contact on a tube ..or say boo to a goose..?

Do you 'Act out'..? ... if so ... why..?

...or are you the same in real life and cyber..?

Just a question ... not an observation ... don't shoot the questioner.

I am quite mild mannered myself .. and a bit of a geek ... that is until i put the costume on ... do you all wear masks ..?

Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written.
For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written.
For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it.

This came on my radio this morning. One of the dj's, a woman, was talking about how she might be sending her daughter to a Jewish Synoguage for preschool. The other dj (a non-practicing Jew) thought that this was the funniest thing in the world. The lady, however, got indignent when she realized that her daughter might learn a religion (she's non-religious).

Which got me thinking, how many could let their child go to a religious preschool, not of their beliefs? And if they could, would they pick one over the other?

Now, I'd pick the Hebrew preschool (as the dj kept calling it) over a Christian school not of my domination.

What would you pick? And you can't slither out of it by saying you'd stay home or have a babysitter. If you answer, would you send your kid to a religious daycare? If a religious daycare is all that's open, would you? would you prefer one religion over another? Again, no saying you'd stay home.

I'm a very lame translator and I would like to ask you some questions about the meaning of the following phrases:

"The publilsher assumes the rights to edit and illustrate the text"
- tell me if he is going to check errors in text or simply publish it, like a book

"trade of proffesional activity" - what does it mean??? :)

Thank you for your help!

There are some big things at stake here. The past few elections have been so close! The George Bush political machine is good at getting there base to stay home. They hope that people who want gay marriage legalized will be apathetic and stay home. Don't you want to make your voice heard tomorrow? Let vote pro-gay marriage politicians in! How many are going to vote tomorrow?

Users of this line seem content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists. Yet, in the US, there have been more shootings, bombings, arsons, and assaults caused by those who call themselves Christians, than there ever have by Muslims.
If it's correct to assume that all Muslims are terrorists because of the misguided acts of a few extremists, can we also assume that Christianity is a religion of terrorists?
FYI: I am neither Christian or Muslim, and think that such assumptions are deplorable and am disgusted by the bigoted responses I am seeing on here.

I feel like I need something shallow and silly to break the mental strain! That's why I think the silly people on this forum serve a much needed purpose. Do you report these people who are just being silly? They are breaking the tension to my way of thinking. Or do you enjoy silly posts?

i think one can see very easily that microsoft didnt add trillions to world wealth simply by thinking of microsoft without human society, culture, science and world - without the science scientists universities tradesmen who feed the universities women who support the tradesmen by their underpaid labour etc - the whole of humanity - microsoft could actually do nothing without those other things - we are paying the tip of the iceberg for what the iceberg does - this wouldnt be so bad except it means that the pay to microsoft has to come from the rest of the iceberg: the 9/10ths of humanity have to be underpaid to fund this overpay - which then causes war, which is escalative, which has brought us to 60x kill-everything capability - justice is essential to survival - 1000s of years of rich get richer has brought us to the superextreme injustice [injury] & violence & tyranny & slavery of pay from $1 to $1 billion a fortnight - isnt this true? isnt this allimportant? isnt this the way out?
