Here's the quickie rundown. I live in Florida with a roommate, both of make decent money, enough to pay the bills. but last month our 3rd roommate was deployed to Iraq and now some bills came in that we have to cover between the 2 of us. anyways, my mom is a social worker and she said we both probably make too much money to get assistance, we called and asked for an extension but they said no becuase it's a new service. We just need help this one time becuase we got a new roommate now, it's just the old bills we can't pay...at least not right this second when they want us too. and we can't get ahold of our old rommate becuase she's overseas....where can we go to get one time assistance without the possibility of being turned away???

One of the big complaints voiced against Islam is that adherents too often do not condemn Muslims who advocate violence.

However, we all know people with whom we share a world view who is prone to saying things that embarrass us or that paints religion/stance in a bad light.

For example, although I'm a gay atheist, I disagree with Elton John that religion should be banned. I wish he had shown a bit more tolerance and recognition that Christianity is not monolythic.

Who in your own religious or philosophical group do you wish would "put a sock in it"? Feel free to name more than one.

If I were an athiest and was sure in my heart that there was no god and no afterlife. I would care less if there was some giant cross on public land. I would care nothing if a student mentioned her faith in Jesus at a graduation speech. In fact, even now as a Christian I am not offended if someone wants to mention their faith in Buddah or their faith in no god, whatever, as long as our children can also talk about Jesus. Shouldn't we be celebrating a diverse community instead of covering it up?
If we evangelize and someone converts to Christianity what should the athiest care? If he really believes there is no God and no afterlife, what business is it of his as long as everybody is happy?
If an athiest has loved one who converts to Christianity, he should not care as long as theyre happy (after all he already knows that he is right)
On the other hand when Christians have athiest theology preached them at school our children (according to people of faith) are in spiritual danger

Columbus Day is not pointless! it is a part of history! You dont think celebrating presidents day is wrong so why do you think that celebrating columbus day is wrong? presidents do the same thing!they send you to war..which is practically killing you! and just think if columbus didnt get the courage up to really see if the world was flat then who would??

I'm an aspiring screenwriter working on a script that takes place in an American high school in the present day. Is high-fiving at all in style anymore or would students do more hip-hop type stuff like touch fists together. What's the term for this? Is it different in different regions of the country and among different clicks in school?

.....But a men aren't allowed to assume or verbally express that any woman they meet who is particularly angry (at least at that point in time) is just on their period?

Not including the kids. I'd like to figure out what I can do/make/buy for my brother, in-laws (who are all in their 20s), friends, etc. I'm open for anything EXCEPT gift cards. What can I do that would be under $20 per person? Stocking stuffer ideas, crafts, etc. are all welcomed. I'd like to hear other people's opinion. =) Thanks!

I think each society has its ideas of good and evil, right and wrong, but there are some values that might transend to all cultures. I think each culture has its own system of morals and God does not have much to do with. I believe that there was a creator (or perhaps more than one) that gave life free will, but that creator does not intervene or program us with morals. God is perhaps watching the show, hoping things will work out. I think that a quick look at the world today is upsetting to God. This may sound cynical, but I think God has lost hope.

If the Book of Mormon was engraved on gold plates thousands of years ago in "reformed Egyptian", why does it read in perfect 1611 King James Version English, even though that wasnt the language used by people in the days of Joseph Smith ?

My best friend Linda is my youngest son's godmother. She's always been very liberal. She's a Democrat, feminist, environmentalist, etc. She just told me that not only is she actually gay, but she's also left Christianity to become a Pagan. I love her dearly and she claims that would stand by her pledge to raise my son in the Christian church if it ever came to that, but I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
