Hello all, I have a issue I would like some advice on please.

First off, I'm getting married in February to a wonderful women. But the problem that is coming up is where are we to spend our holidays with.

She told me that me and her decide on going to her families for thanks giving. But I don't remember that. So, my mother and family ask me to come over and I accepted. Now, she is hurt, but I told her I will go with her this thanksgiving with her family, and next year she could come with me to my family. Well, she really doesn't like that idea because her father travels alot when he works and she only gets to see him 3 or 4 times a year. But on the other hand. I feel that if we are going to spend our lives together, then we should do holidays different. I just really confused. Can someone help

Just out of curiosity how many of you out there are christian fundamentalists?

I have no idea, what US citizens learn in school about religion and other religions, but it seems, that many automatically see islam in general as enemy and well also the christian and jewish religion seem to be pretty unknown.

Many people seem to not know that Allah is just the arabic word for the english word God, and that this is the same God Christians and Jews believe in.

So when anyone says something versus Allah, this is not only an offense versus the muslims but also versus all christians and Jews.

This means there have to be large numbers of atheists in the US or extremely bad educated people. People who do not respect anything and anyone.

Why is it ? Are there drugs in your drinking water or is there an epidemia of mad cow disease, so that such behavior is the result ?

And when some say there is agression in the quran, have you ever read our christian bible or the jiddish Torah. Our books are full of violence.

I keep hearing people say negative things about donating blood. "Did you know they threw out 80% of your blood?...etc" No! They dont. I work for a hospital in florida and we cant keep enough blood on the shelves. My job, as a lab tech is to order blood from our suppling blood center (non for profit) and type and test. The blood center rarely fills my order. They are continuously "trimming" my order because they simply do not have it. I try and order 40 units of each type a day and I get maybe 10 of each. What do I hear when I ask peope why they dont donate? "Oh, they werent really doing anything special" or "They didnt have any good coupons". People, this is something that is so easily replaced by your own body and yet can give someone, a perfect stranger, a second chance at life. There is little to no effort on our part to donate. Go with friends if you need support. Dont let people tell you it gets wasted. If you hear it is, then your in a paying facility who uses it for makeup.

Or this that just for men?

I recently called someone named "Maria". Well apparently her daughter who lives with them has the same name. So when the man who answered the phone said which Maria, I just the older one.

Is there an appropriate term for this?

Why don't you focus on trying to convert people who are killing others? Gayness is not contagious and is not inherently violent. Being gay is about attraction, be it lust or love, that's up to the individual and I know I won't convince anyone here of anything.
What's the point of harassing someone online? We're all here to ask and answer questions. We're all just a pile of letters to eachother.
So please take some Valium to calm your jangled nerves and pray for a while on how best to love others. Read that 1st Corinthians 13. Memorize it:
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain-these three. The greatest of these is love.

Ok, this is one where you have had to been there (luckily you werent), but I was in school and I was turned talking to my guy friend and a guy on the other side of me poked his pen into my side to get my attention and I jumped and farted at the same time (luckily only one of them heard it)
So what's yours? BTW, probably the funniest will get Best Answer

I have been a Fundamentalist all my life. I am thinking of converting to Catholicism because of some research I have done. Now's your chance to convince me otherwise or encourage me. I am hesitating because my family will probably not be happy.

Exodus chapter 12 verse 43:

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it. Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him, but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.

Exodus Chapter 21, verse 1:

Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them. When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,' then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for life.

I'm reading "the cow" right now and I was wondering why "Allah" addresses himself as "we" when he speaks? Is he more then one God? I thought maybe he was including angels, but if this was the case then why would he need angels to help him since he is "Allah"?
