I work in an office where we have an advent calender between us and we were wondering if it's bad luck to open the Saturday & Sunday doors on a Friday.

I prefer Dawkins' book. Although, he did have the benefit of modern knowledge and science. Also, it wasn't translated -- it was in native English. So I can sort of hear in my head Richard Dawkin's tea-sipping, crumpet-loving voice while I read it.

Which do you think is better? Why?

Myself and my friend both did GCSE Art & Design last year, and due to two incompitent teachers, I mean one time, we wanted to stay behind to do our coursework because the teachers "car was going to the garage", we later saw said car depart in fully working order. Another excuse they made was they were "going to the gym" and they "had lives". Both myself and my friend got lower grades than we anticipated. How can we write a good complaint letter to our old school explaining our concerns for this years art students?

Something unlucky happened to me before, then I felt it's time to be close to God of my life.
So what do you think? Will we meet him here in this world?
The Bible says he's coming again soon.

Or is it a situation where you know -- and accept -- your own identity within a short period of time? Do gays, lesbians, and bisexuals go through different processes?

How come it seems that the most judgmental and "in your face" group on the religion section seems to be the Christians?
For example, the Muslims and Jews don't seem so judgmental...they don't seem to be telling everyone that they're wrong and telling them that they're going to hell. Why is this?

Apart from the paddy, scots, welsh, and native english, ( and too some extent Jews) ,, people are scared to make any controversial remarks or banter...
Could this be because once a group becomes comfortable with themselves and are contributing to society that they can be automatically slagged off? or could it be because they have pride in themselves so they have the ability to accept, critize and laugh at their groups weakness strengths etc...
So would i be correct in saying that insecure, underachieveing groups should be protected from any words that might hurt their feeling, because they have no pride in themselves and are not comfortable in their own skin yet???

I'll probably get reported for this, but I'm serious. I've noticed that rabid fundamentalists often have terrible spelling (to be fair, it's not every case, just more than usual in Y. Answers). Is this because their only source of literature is the Olde English King James version of the Bible?

Assalamualaikum,
Dear brother and sister....

In my country, it is Friday afternoon now, and I've just done my Friday prayer...
In the mosque, the Khatib speak about the 2 main things that we, Muslims should do to prove our faith to Allah...

Those two things are...
1. Syukr (thank to God for everything he given to us)
2. Sabr (patient to do evrything in life)

Um, not trying to be more than you....
But just wanna remind you...
Have you done those?

Honestly, I cant do those well yet...

Sorry if it insults you...

May Allah bless us!!!

Wassalamualaikum

We both are Catholic.
We both have fought against Imperialism.
We both immigrated to a country that hated us.
We both place family above everything else.
We both are fond of a good Draught/Cerveza.
We both fought side by side against US Imperialism.
Similarities endless...

I think the next logical step is to reach out to one another and embrace each other as brothers of the one and true Church.
