I love receiving Christmas cards, so I decided to send them out this year to my family and friends, and I'm putting a picture of my son in there. Do you do this too? When should I mail them?

When he hung the "king of the jews" sign, was it an act of respect and fear due to his wife's dream and his apprehension in and reluctance to sentence Jesus to death or was it just a pure act of mockery? I always just considered it an act of mockery and that is how it is typically portrayed, but the other day the thought came to me in reading The conversation between the two again that Pontious may have been quite haunted if not moved by the words of Jesus. Almost as if he sensed something about Him. Then the sign could have had a whole different intent. I don't know . It was just a thought I had that made sense to some extent in the context of interpretation of scripture. What do you think? What's your opinion? Thanks.

Everytime there is a fight, people always call up all thier friends and then the two people who were supposed to fight usually don't and random people usually end up fighting. Why do you think this always happens?

Well, I've always genuinly believed in the belief that who you are is what's important, your personality, your values, etc. are far more valuable than any petty concerns about how you look.

However, as I'm in my final year of High School, getting ready to go to College (and just from my general experiences in society so far), it seems that looks and bodies actually do play a fair role, as unfortunate as it is.

So I'm asking, is this really true? Which one, in the end, is still the most important? What's "inside" or what's "outside"?

I was talking to a woman on-line for 6 months, I lived in Canada and she in England. It seemed ok and even got to the point virtual sex was initiated on-line. She said she was my woman and also wanted me to live with her in England, get a job etc. The real crunch was when we met in person nothing seemed to be familiar in the way we tried to relate as if we were both sort of strangers. I noticed it and she mentioned it, we felt the other person wasn't the same person anticipated. We just didn't feel close sexually or emotionally.

I have been considering try to join the Victorian Police force in Australia for some time but I have a full sleeve tattoo(from my wrist to my shoulder). Victorian police uniform is short sleeved shirts so my tattoo would be exposed.

Would I still be able to become a police officer or is their strict policy on tattoos that are very visible and what not?

The UN Declaration of Human Rights Article 18 states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief..." Yet there are member nations whose laws criminalize evangelism, and or make conversion from the majority religion to another religion a crime, in some cases punishable by death. Shouldn't we insist that UN member's legal systems uphold the UN Declaration of Human Rights and insist on the expulsion of and international sanctions against those who do not? At the very least they should lose voting rights in the General Assembly and Security Council, as well as any positions of authority. Should any country that violates these most basic human rights have a vote in or authority in the United Nations? What do you think?

It took me a long time to shake of the mind control mechanisms of religion. If God exists, and is truth, its not in his interest to diter you from reading the theories of atheists or studying evolution, but of course, its most certainly against the interests of religion for any research to happen outside the hand holding of the religious leaders.

Dont get me wrong, I grew up in a Catholic school system where I was exposed to evolution and theories that rebut religion...out of fear of censorship, I am not directly referring to the eastern religion which closes off all reason and thought and threatens the very lives of those who consider anything but their horrific religion.

I'm getting something for a Senior, from a Sr. Center with a gift giving program at our Curves.

The person I picked has items on her "wish list" that include something Irish.

I have seen some sites that sell Irish themed gifts, but they're not necessarily made in or actually from Ireland. I would prefer to buy something actually from Ireland.

Otherwise, I'd like to make something with an Irish theme, like a food item or something.

Anyone Irish?

He was married to his first wife for 25 years. She was 15 years older than him. At a time when he could have taken as many wives as he wanted (before the three that Islam set) he stayed only with her.

After she died he took on other wives.
The wife that raises eyebrows was 9 when they became engaged.He did not marry her until after her status of a woman came when she was 11 and had her menstral cycle. When a girl reached child bearing age she could be married.
Think of it this way as well: This was nearly 1500 years ago-- yet in some southern states right here in the US-- girls can marry at 13 years of age. Right here in our country in the present day.

His 10 other wives ranged in ages from 17-37, 6 of them were widows, one of them a freed slave, 2 of them were divorced and many of them had children from previous marraige. He lived in a time when women were property, and men would never consider to marry a woman who had been divorced, widowed, or already had children

As a child I was sexually abused by a bi-sexual man so I would think that if anyone has a reason to feel hatred it would be me. But I'm smart enough to know that 1 bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch. So why is it that people who have never had any contact with a gay person hate for the sake of hating & PLEASE don't use my God as an excuse.?

Do you not make the choice to come to this section? Do you not choose to click on the link, read, and answer the question? Please explain how we are "forcing it down your throats" when you make the choice to participate or not.

If you are talking about the world in general, you should at least specify that.

Also, Moira, I have taken your advice and changed my terminology. Your point is valid.
