"It's all about getting into heaven, getting into heaven. I have to get into heaven. Yes, I do. I have to convince everyone else they have to get into heaven too, or else I won't get into heaven. Heaven. Heaven. Heaven. Heaven. I have to get into heaven. I have to pray so that I get into heaven. Heaven. Heaven. Heaven."

That's what you're all thinking. Get over it already. You guys are too selfish to even be considered to get into heaven.

By the way the heaven word count was - 23

The other day I said that I did not want to live in Memphis because it is 66 % African American and I would not be comfortable there. A black guy a few cubicals over heard that and got really mad. Is that a racist statement? Point of fact this guy who is AA lives in a 67 % AA city / town. Please help me. I never considered myself a racist or bigot.

what do you think of the man who wants to say good-bye to the word "hello." Leo Canales wants us all to say "heaveno" instead. Leo believes many of society's ills can be blamed on the unconscious use of the word "hell".

Has society the right to punish individuals sent into the world with homosexual instincts?
Actively, denying Homosexuals basic human rights...the right to Marry...in some cases the right to adopt...the right to live, have a job, walk down the street holding hands with their partners.
Does Society have the right to attempt to punish us?

" Graven or sculpted images of that which is in Heaven above " ??

I know the Bible says that we shouldn't do that, but I've also heard a different explanation as to why it doesn't apply. . . . . . but I can't remember it .
Do you know both explanations ??

At night I try to take picture which tend to involve landscape and lights. IN my auto mode the pics are always over exposed, when I lessen exposure it fixes the light problem but makes other objects to dark. Is there other settings I could use?

Flash is not an option due to distance.

inspired by God to these men), then why are so many inclined to believe the more modern day foretellers, like Nostradomus, and also fortune tellers, etc. but will not believe the Prophets of God simply because they are in the Bible? The OT Prophets have had their prophecies, which are in detail, to come to pass, what better proof is that? Also, if you read NT and OT prophecey carefully, you can see more ready to be fulfilled.

Why do people ask questions about which religion is right (with the implication that their religion is correct) when they should know that the question will end nowhere but each side mad at each other. You know, anger can lead to elevated blood pressure and heart disease! But seriously, do they really think they will prove a point by asking a question that has been attempted to be answered for thousands of years?

I hope this question doesn't offend anybody, as it is not meant to. I know a man who is closely connected with me and my family. The only thing is, I have a sneaking suspicion he's gay, and I don't want to come out and ask him, because the circumstances make that too awkward. However, I don't feel like my "sneaking suspicion" is enough. Are there anyways without making things obvious to find out which side he butters his bread? I don't want to hurt his feelings, he's a very sweet guy. Please don't post anything offensive.

I just read a question asking if there were such things as people who could see the future! In which I saw several responses. The most outragious of which (get this) came from what seemed to be christians They stated that seeing the future is not of God, My question then is WHAT WERE THE PROPHETS? WHY DOES CORINTHIANS MENTION THE GIFT OF PROPHECY? AND SOME SAY THIS GIFT NO LONGER EXIST AND IF NOT, THEN HOW ARE THE TWO PROPHETS IN THE END TIME SUPPOSED TO LEAD GOD'S PEOPLE CHECK RELELATION FOR THAT STORY
