I have been reading the questions that many have submitted. Certainly quite a few are presented by persons who think they can claim sarchastic wit as their own. I am horrified by the terrible grammar and spelling, as well as the very content of many of these questions. Is the general public really this stupid?

I for one dont. Here is why.
If you are a Christian/ Jew/ Muslim, then you should have no reason to believe in it. Thats breaking one of the Ten Commandments. But since many christians and other religions in this country (and the world) are hypocrites, they will believe it anyway. im also a christian. The only time you should kill is if your life (or someone you love) is in IMMEDIATE danger. When you kill someone, you play God.
If your an atheist, look at it this way. When you kill or execute someone, they wont live to regret what they did. Wishing death to someone does not solve anything. In fact, you are actually doing them a favor, because they wont have the conscience to look back at their ways.

From this morning YAHOO news, "Already, six percent of health costs in the WHO's European region, which includes Central Asia, come from obesity in adults, the organization's data show.

In 1992 obesity cost France $12.1 billion in direct costs alone, while in 2000 obese and overweight people cost the state of California $22 billion, including indirect costs, Shekar said.

Obesity is also expected to reduce life expectancy, which could have a knock-on effect on the economy. A recent UK study forecast men would live five years less by 2050 if current trends were not reversed."

What I don't understand why those news people talk about anAmerican Fat Beauty. There is more fat, obese (not feeling well, not want to do much) people in this country then take all countries together. For some strange reason they always talking about other countries, like Europe where people are much skinner and healthy and they do have HEALTH INSURANCE!

Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

If you do not believe in Adam and Eve, then please post your own question about that. I just want my answer, not a religious debate.

In Memoirs of a Geisha, Mother says "We do not display our naked feet like monkeys. This is geisha house, we do NOT peddle flesh here." But then in order to become a full-fledged geisha, Sayuri's mizuage is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Why do they contradict themselves? I know that they can't really be in love and they can't get married or pregnant, otherwise they have to retire from being a geisha, does that have anything to do with it?

Can't people see that religion was just created to scare people and keep the low and uneducated fighting with each other so the higher-ups could stay in power?

The Bible was not written by God, it was written by men, with the purpose of controlling people unable to think for themselves. And today it's still working.

And why do religious people think that their kids need religion to learn morals? You can teach your kids to be good people without religion. And furthermore, religion teaches kids the undertones of religion, such as hypocrasy. "It's okay to speak out against gays, as long as you keep your own gay liasions secret."

And how can people say that Jesus being nailed to a cross is beautiful? You people are sick.

Mav would like to hear from all faiths about this question. (and please let Mav know faith)

If someone is a Christian, is it OK for her to take antidepressants? Does it mean her faith isn't strong enough?

Please give honest thoughts

I used to have The Witches Tarot deck but found it very difficult to learn with due to the minor arcana portion being very generic (like a deck of playing cards).

Can anyone recomend a more illustrative deck that I could use to learn the art more easily?

There is a crisis in the American Food Supply. Standing in the produce section of my organic grocer, I find I'm not the only consumer afraid to pick up leafy greens. In the meat department, I'm not the only one wondering what kind of farmers fed ground up cow to cows and not the only one wondering if this hamburger will fill my child's brain with holes.

I watched this video this morning and wondered if Reagan's aggressive anti-farmer policies have brought us to this agribusiness crisis. I wonder if there is still time to save ourselves.

What do you think? What are you doing to make things better?

This video made me cry to think of all we've lost and about the good decent farmers who were painted as greedy mismanagers by the Republican 'reformers' of the 80s.

What have they wrought?

What was the first religion in the New Testament. Some say Catholic. Some say Pentecostal. Some say other things. In Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost, Pentecostal was formed. They may not have called themselves that, but they did preach and teach the same thing. In filling of the Holy Ghost with speaking in other tongues. And then baptism in Jesus name. God is 1, and so on. They say Peter was the first Pope. How come he preached the Holy Ghost and baptism in Jesus name and the Catholics do not believe in it? I really want some good answers, please don't say religion started with Adam. :) Thanks!
