There's no love or hate for God, and scriptures do not inspire either. I mean, you can't force yourself to love.

I am a follower of an eastern religion and have made some unsettling observations:
1) Every Christian I have met is less intelligent than myself
2) Every Christian I have met is ignorant of their own faith
3) Every Christian I have met is a jerk who slanders peoples of other faiths and cares only for those who share their own beliefs
4) Christians are responsible for all the wrongs in the world, as they have done nothing to right them
5) Christians place blame on others, ignoring their own foolishness, saying that others are more foolish than themselves
6) Christians believe in a man who died for their sins 2000 years ago only because a book tells them to do so! How idiotic?? ! Who believes the printed word with no evidence in the real world???

Are these not valid points? Are Christians not leading wasting lives???

I know, I know, French is considered a Romance language, as it has some Latin (Rome) influence. I see that in many instances cognates in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, are vastly different in French.

The land we now know as France was once home to the Celts, and Franks. Invasions into what is now France included The Huns, the Vandals, the Ostrogoths, and Visigoths. All of whom, except for the Huns, are Germanic.

I think based on all this, and French's uniqueness, it is best called a hybrid language.

Am I too far off on this, or not?

I mean the Beatles & Zeppelin were pretty good, but Tenacious just takes it to a whole 'nother level!

"She who is juicy, must be loosey goosey"
"He who is groovy, much be in my movie"
"He who's a crony, can suck on my bonie"

Never have such truths been spoken in a song.

I tend to be very needy at times and I always feel I need hugs and need to be reassured about things. I love to feel safe and secure which is one of the reason I love coming on yahoo answers and gettting and receving e-mails because I get a sense of belonging and security when I get my questions answered and forgive me for saying this but when I pray to God about my questions and concerns I do not always get an answer and I do read my Bible at least once a day and I pray to God and talk to God all the time, I just like gettting affirmation and like I said before security. My question is I have always wanted to be a lay counsellor and help people and encourage people with all I have been though. How can I be more confident so I dont ask so many questions on yahoo answers or lean on my family so much,
for support?

What are godly ways to stand on "my own two feet". I have been under a lot of stress and that is why maybe I have been "leaning" on others alot.

If that describes you, can you try to explain this animosity?

And do they have some primitive idea as to what death means/entails? If you think so, explain.

The Christian right are talking hold in parts of America, trying to set an agenda based on Christianity - these Christian Fundamentalists have friends in high places, and lobby for a stricter following of Christian beliefs.

Creationism is on the rise, and is becoming a real threat to Evolution in the some parts of the country.

If it does indeed take the "wrong path" could America end up like Iran, Iraq or Syria? with fundamentalism taught to kids from a young age.

Will we see American Christian Suicide bombers?

Would you be okay with someone who had to convert to your religion! I've read that some Jewish people don't really like it when people convert to Judaism...something to do with history! Please correct me if I'm wrong!
But would it bother you if someone converted to your religion?

thanks=)

I live with and around people that think it's wrong and terrible to be gay. And I'm just wondering if that's what most people think, or if it's just the people that I'm around.

I have had the same therapist for 21 years and now I am moving, could you pray that when my husband (he comes with me to the sessions) and I go we would leave on a postive note and that it will be a blessed session. Most likely I may be tearful as I will miss this Dr a lot, but I want to leave on a good note. Thank you in advance for praying and God bless you.

We recently had this issue brought up in school and we had to write a paper on how fair/unfair it is for society to judge a Muslim just because of the previous actions of Muslims. Do you think it is fair to have that inner "alertness" when you automatically see a Muslim in an aiport/airplane? How do YOU feel?
