Society & Culture - 20 November 2006

Very few of the preachers on TV today are backed by or held accountable to any denomination or overseeing authority. Why do you think that is?

Of course, there are exceptions (Charles Stanley is a Southern Baptist, D.James Kennedy is part of the Presbyterian Church of America, etc.).

No freetranslations- Spanish speakers only please!


So as close as possible the following in spanish:


Making enough money to do so will be hard for a single parent.
It is not guaranteed, but the children have a good chance to encounter some emotional problems while growing up. I might have to deal with the children feeling neglected. They might think that they weren’t wanted by their birth father, and they might blame themselves.

I don't care if I'm in the wrong section because all the advice I ever got here was helpful. I've been divorced 10 years but I can't stop myself from dreaming about him every night. But the problem is he's a loser, an alcoholic who can't keep a job. There is such a thin line between love & hate and I so want to close my eyes & not think of him. Anybody been there? If so does it ever go away? We will always be tied togther in a way because we have a daughter. Last night I had a dream and woke up so happy thinking that he was here but than realized it was just a dream. Do you think it's just lonliness?

Nuit, belle nuit,
Sous un ciel d'Italie,
On t'appelle "Bella Notte".
Et sous les cieux,
Des étoiles plein les yeux,
On t'appelle "Bella Notte".
Nuit après nuit, jour après jour,
On a tous besoin d'amour.
Il faut toujours garder l'espoir
Car les rêves ont leur pouvoir.
Oh Nuit, belle nuit,
Sous un ciel d'Italie,
On t'appelle "Bella Notte".
On t'appelle "Bella Notte"

Thanks in advance. Merci.

I crushed both my hands in a nasty accident but after the operation I asked the doctor if I would be able to play the piano, and he said yes.

P.S. I couldn't play the piano before the accident.

Evangelicals may reject reason fully and atheists may reject faith, but do moderate Christians reject both faith and reason equally?

I'm referring to the miracles mentioned in the Bible such as walking on water or turning water to mind. Moderate Christians may claim that they should not be taken literally as they merely add color to the life of Jesus.

However, what gives a moderate Christian the right to choose which miracles to accept and which to reject?

I'm sure certain miracles cannot be rejected by them such as the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection, and if you have the ability to cherry pick, what is the Bible for in the first place? I'm sure it didn't tell you to choose which miracles to follow.

On DISC, A&E, BIO, or similar. The same evening this show was on the HIST channel: "In Search of History: Secret Brotherhood of Freemasons" at the same time. Went over how the Catholic church revised the Bible to where Satan was made more heinous than originally, and how the Pope added the "seven deadly sins". Also discussed the way Satan has been depicted in art through history( color, size, features, ect.)

the questions of religion and if so why have they not shared them with the rest of us to promote world peace? And if you do not have all of the answers then why can you not let everyone believe what they like and simply keep quiet if you do not believe the same thing?

for spanish speakers only.. no free translations..


How do you say in spanish:


If I was a single parent, there would be many challenges I would have to face on my own. For example, the children would wonder who there biological father is and the hard part would be finding a way to tell them that they don't have a father figure to look up to. Money would also be a problem, because I need to make sure I have enough money to provide for the children. For instance, they need food, clothes, and a roof over their head.

do you think God would be happy with the way you conduct yourself and answer questions (and ask them) of others? Would He tell you you needed to be a bit more tolerant or do you think you are too tolerant?

It has to be either Whites or Orientals. I would say blacks are the dumbest (no im not racist) its just that in school blacks always seem dumbest to me. Also they are the poorest. And as far as History goes I mean look at europe or Japan, and then look at Africa. Its like a complety different world of technology. I'm not a racist at all I just see what I see.

I'm from Canada and this will be my first American Thanksgiving celebration ever ( I'm so excited about it, Sweetie's Momma is making sweet potato pie and and candied yams and collared greens and everything!!! )! Up north we drink a bit of beer for our Thanksgiving but never more than a keg or two each, after all we have to be socially responsible; we still have to drive our dog sleds homes after the party! I don't want to offend anyone so is it cool to drink from the keg at dinner or should I just fill up a couple of tankards and cool it till after supper is done? Thanks in advance for the help and I hope all of You Americanos have a great Thanksgiving Too!!!
