For example: If you know everything there is to know about a particular game, the rules, all the possible outcomes, like a game of chess, could you in effect predict the outcome of this game? What if it where not a game but life itself?

What if God knows? What if he knows: what you will do, what we will say, even before you say it?

then is our destiny decided even before we are born? What does your religion say aboutt divine predestination?

I have found that many atheists are very intelligent and analytical people. Where as the christians I have encountered are more emotional, and driven. Which do you think is the way to god.
Now I know Athesists say they dont believe in god, but to me from the responses I have received from atheists they are very caring respectful people. So although they dont believe in god, it would seem that they live the principles of god. NOw is it that they understand that god is god, and no god, but more of a way of spirit.
And by knowing this does it allow them to be more honest, because they do not fear the consequences of sin? Or is the devout believer who sees sin as a way of keeping them from heaven, and lives their life in fear of sinning that better knows and lives the example of god. Just wondering?

Have you lived or do you currently live in Evansville, IN? I'm interested in this area due to the lower cost of living and the laid-back aspect I'm told about but I have a few questions: I've heard the air really smells bad, is this true? Are their any really bad parts of town I should look out for? How are the real estate taxes? Thanks so much for all the serious answers and if you would be willing to talk to me about Evansville, please leave your email and we'll chat.

So, I hooked up with a girl last night and we had fun and swapped numbers. When I left she said she'd text me. Haven't heard anything yet (I appreciate it's not been very long) and I wondered if I should text her.

I know with straight people the girl usually waits for the guy to text. Is there a similar principle for us lesbians? Like maybe she's waiting for me to text and I don't know... I don't want to scare her off by seeming overly keen though.

(PS In case you start having a go, I'm not a curious or fake or anything, I've just not had this situation before as all my exes were friends of mine.)

Let me start by saying that by posting this question, I do not wish to aggravate anyone. I am simply trying to encourage intellectual debate. Regardless, do you think that Jesus Christ really existed or was he just a fabrication for financial purposes, i.e. cults, etc.

The Romans have no records of his execution or life, and they were the leading historians of the day. Josephus wrote of him, but was around long after Jesus' supposed death. The first Gospel was not wrote until 90 years after his supposed death.


What is your conclusion and your thoughts?

My fiance's niece is heavily into sports. She has all of the sporting goods she wants/needs so I can't go that route. Anyone have any gift suggestions for Christmas? $30-$50 or in that range. He doesn't want to ask her parents because that ruins the "surprise" of it all. I think it makes it easier, but that's not an option.

He is also not the incarnation of any God, which would have explained his birth.

Last week I was at a wedding and had the experience of watching a group of ladies in their 50s and 60s dancing...
Not pretty...
What do you think?
Should they be banned?

I got a knock at the door and it was a churchgoer proselytizing her religion in the neighborhood. They've always made me queasy. Being a Witch, it's difficult for me to talk about religion with people who think I am evil and need to be saved.

Anyway, she asked me what church I go to and I told her that I'm a Witch, and I was prepared for the glare and the finger-shaking, and the "I'll pray for you" speech. But instead, she asked what Witchcraft is like! So I told her a few things about it. And then instead of condemning me, she said that she was glad that I've found spiritual fulfillment!

What a nice lady! Why can't more people be like this?

For anyone who has ever been near anyone who was about to die...like what do you say to them? Do you say that it will be okay or do you just spend as much time as you can with them...even if it means just sitting with them in silence?

I notice the same people that do this do not wash their hands after touching money!

After you shower in the morning you tuck your clean member into your clean boxers and then put your clean pants on over them.....

Throughout the day you handle door nobs, water fountains, and money to name a few....

Most of all if it is so dirty then how can a partner put it in their mouth?

So why not wash your hands before touching your unit?

I'm a 14 year old girl and I have unusually big ears and other girls at school love to tease me about them. When I asked my Sunday school teacher why God made me with such big ears she said God gave me big ears as a gift and that rather than be unhappy with how big they are I should thank God for giving me big ears because He may have given them to me as a blessing to remind me not to be vain and flirtacious and to be a good listener and to learn. So I have been thanking God and I feel much better about my ears now and I see that the girls who tease me are although very beautiful they are also very vain and already looking to sin with boys. What do other people think? Might God have blessed me with big ears as a cross to bear as some kind of lesson? Or what do people think might be the reason for God giving me such big ears?

I am a young practising Christian in the Lincolnshire area but do not get anything out of my usual Church. Im looking for a Church with a younger congregation - people with similar views. With uplifting, energetic services, Christian Music - rather than the usual mundane hymns and organ.

Mother tongue is the language in which one thinks. If a person knows one language, he thinks in same.
When one knows multiple language , primarily he thinks always in one of the languages ant it is his mother tongue.

Can you agree. Please give your comments
