My sister recently moved back to the area where the rest of my family lives and it's really important to her to have Thanksgiving dinner for our whole family (15 of us plus my husband’s side of the family, if they would come). She is thrilled to be back in town, lives in a beautiful house and this will be the first time in years that our entire family can be together.

My mother-in-law also wants to have Thanksgiving at her house (my side of the family is not included). So dinner will be for her, my father-in-law and the three of us (my husband, myself and our son). They have another daughter and grand-daughter but they won't be there. I spoke to my mother-in-law the other day and asked her if since both families want to have their own meals if she would have hers early in the day and my sister can have hers later in the day so we could see both families. She says she doesn't want to do that she’s always cooked for a late in the day meal. (cont)

Why would an intelligent designer (eg. God) design humans (and most other mammals actually) with really shoddely wired retinas?

In the eyeball, which most creationists seem to tote as being an example of a designer, all the light sensitive cells of the retina are partially covered with nerves and blood vessels that block light and inhibit vision. Not only that but where these nerves and blood vessels leave the eye the light sensetive cells are pushed aside which creates a blind spot.

Molluscs such as octopii and squids don't have this problem as their retinas are "wired" in a more appropriate fashion, from the back, so no light is blocked and no blind spot exists.

So going by this, what basis is there that the human (or rather generic mammal) eyeball is intelligently designed?

If the muslim god Allah promises unrestrained hedonism in muslim heaven, why doe he condemn hedonistic behaviour on earth, is the muslim god Allah a two-faced god.

I am refering to the virgins, young boys, wine, wealth...all the pleasures a person desires...which is promised to the person who gets into heaven.

Koran 78:31
As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a truly overflowing cup.

Koran 37:40-48
...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.

Koran 52:24
Round about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as pearls well-guarded.

Koran 56:17
Round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness.

Koran 83:23-26
The righteous will surely dwell in bliss. Reclining upon soft couches they will gaze around them: and in their faces you shall mark the glow of joy. They shall be given a pure wine to drink, securely sealed...

A friend and I were talking about the soprano's that snip-a-do their "yoyos" to sing better, and higher. And then we were wondering if their meat still feels pleasure even though their veggies are gone. Medical advise appreciated, gross opinions need not apply.

Please read the following:
MATTHEW 5:19, MATTHEW 15:9, MATTHEW 19:17, MARK 10:19, LUKE 1:6, JOHN 14:15, JOHN 14:21, JOHN 15:10, 1CORINTHIANS 7:19, 1JOHN 2:3, 1JOHN 2:4, 1JOHN 3:22, 1JOHN 3:24, 1JOHN 5:2, 1JOHN 5:3, 2JOHN 1:6, REVELATION 14:12,

Why do christians still say that the commandments of God was abolished? Isnt christianity keeping Gods commandments, trusting and having the faith of Jesus?

REVELATION 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Is this statement wrong?

...or are we deceived?
MATTHEW 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

It's called "And Tango Makes Three." It's about a pair of male penguins at a zoo that raised a chick together. (It's based on real events.) An Illinois school has it, and some parents there are not happy about that at *all*.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2006-11-17-gay-penguins_x.htm

I'm bi, and I love penguins, and I've seen the book. There's nothing sexual--it's a cute story with cute penguins. I also think it's a good thing for kids to see all kinds of families reflected, since the public schools are for everyone's kids.

But I want to know what y'all think. :-)
