Never mind the inquisition, and the torture and killing of innocent people for heresy…

Never mind the difference of opinion relating to His family tree, causing constant hatred and wars in the ‘Holy Land’…

Never mind 9/11 and 7/7, and the constant threat of terrorism from extreme God-lovers…

Never mind the strange bloke waving his Bible and shouting extreme nonsense across an otherwise peaceful shopping area...

Never mind all that where God takes peace and makes noise and trouble…

What about my right to have some sleep on a Sunday morning after 6 days hard work and a night out on Saturday, instead of being woken up by bl**dy church bells???

I know, I know – it’s not God’s fault – it’s the people who believe in him. And that’s why I’m asking YOU. Well it would have been pointless asking HIM, wouldn’t it?

Any chance of a bit of peace and respect?

My answers seem to suggest that men have a preference for blonde haired, blue eyed girls (as long as everything is natural).Why do you think this is? Is it just the hair and eye color? Is there something else like a certain skin tone that men are attracted to? Do blondes have a certain body type that men are attracted to (e.g. longer legs, bigger boobs, bigger eyes...whatever) that men like? I just can't figure this one out. Thanks for helping.

The reason I get excited is because I like a lot of the Christmas treats such as gingerbread cookies, candy canes and eggnog. I also notice that everyone is in such a good mood during the Holiday season. What does this say about me?

The next day, i get a message from the Christian who answered below me saying(in exact words)Message: grow up *** hole.you will find yourself in eternal Hell.Put a spell on me ******* moron.god has me covered.

Does that seem right to u? I am also 15 years old, why diss with such profanity on my belief? Does this make since to u? What should i do?

the bible are there through the work of The Holy Spirit who worked through him to encourage those books especially The book of Revelation if it wasn't for him (The Holy Spirit working through him) the Book of Revelations wouldn't be there and since The Holy Spirit doesn't dwell/work through evil sinners he must of been wrong about the books and they were not led to by The Holy Spirit... Anyways why do you think that augustine was evil he is a fountain-head of most christian protestant sects?

Now I know this will get reported - and removed by yahoo without so much as them taking a look - but why is this term seen as so offensive?

Someone from Britain is known as a 'Brit'
Scotland, a 'Scott'
Sweden, a 'Swede'
So why do we get looks of horror when we say 'Paki'?

Last night I was laying on my bed, talking on the phone. i was laying on my back and not leaning on anything. All of a sudden I felt a burning feeling and pressure on my wrist. "Ow!" I looked down and saw a bite mark on my wrist. I ran to show my roomate and she accused me of biting my own wrist(i think the person i was talking to would have noticed something in my mouth), then, when i denied that said it wasn't a bite mark. I then bit my other wrist and it looked exactly like the other mark but the indents were different(as if from different teeth). The mark progressed exactly as the bite mark i gave myself; getting red & puffy, ect....
Im not saying it was a ghost or anything but how do you explain that???? Any ideas??

Please define " shoving your religion down my throat ".
Does that mean that if a Christian speaks their mind. . . then they are guilty of shoving their religion down your throat ?? Oh, and I would like clear examples to help me understand. OK?

Also, please define exactly how you think the Church CONTROLS Christians. Do they not have free will ?? To believe what they want.. . .just like you ?? Oh, and I really need strong examples of that as well. . . Thank you very much.

Well I have just updated my blog at http://survivingchristmas.blogspot.com. I think that cell phones will most definitely dominate all the electronic sales this season. Why? Because everyone seems to own one. When new one comes out, they will try it out, trade and switch the old one for the new one. What's your opinion and what your gift idea? Come and share with me!

My boyfriend and I have been going out for just over 3 months. He's very sweet and likes to get me nice things, including roses on anniversary's and things like that. I want to get him a really nice Christmas present but I'm pretty much broke and won't have any cash until the New Year. I want to get him something and I was thinking, we both love snowboarding, so a picture of us on the hill or on the chair together? And maybe a hoodie or a shirt from a favorite band? Does this sound too impersonal? Guys your input here would be much appreciated.....
