Okay, full disclosure, don't look if you don't want to. It's not excessively gory or unpleasant, just excessively sentimental. It shows Jesus weeping while holding a tiny aborted foetus in his hand. Here it is:

This isn't asked to get opinions about either side of the abortion debate (though I don't suppose that will stop some of you). There have been plenty of posts about that and it's not going to get resolved here. I want to know reasons why anyone would want to indulge in such grotesque mawkishness. What is in it for you?

(And no, I'm not concealing my opinion of the picture, it's repellant.)

Last weekend, I arrested 3 young men for running out of the liquor store with eight cases of beer. And the next morning, I watched as they lined up, on the church steps, to shake hands with the minister.
So my question is, is faith something that only lingers for a few hours, keeps us in check for a small amount of time before we can get on with our business of stealing and other assorted mischief? Can we wash it off, does it wear off like medication? Or is it all just a big show like I originally thought?

How many billions of dinos have come and gone over the life of the Earth? I figure this may why small children love them so much... with one foot in the Otherworld they would have a better view of the fauna.

Please don't bother answering if you...

A. Don't believe in the afterlife
B. Don't believe that non-human animals get an afterlife
C. Don't believe in dinosaurs

That should exclude just about everyone :)

I love the song by Haggard and Wilson Politically Incorrect, it explains how I feel to a T. I hate when people tell me you can't say that, someone will get offended. What about what offends me? I don't try to offend anyone, i try to never be rude or curel to people but if you down grade my beliefs then why can't I say what I think? What ever happened to standing up for your belief or principles?

I am having an extremely hard time accepting the role of women in the bible. Why would God make me a female and implant in me none of the the characteristics that are pleasing to Him?

You know the Fatman Santa is a fake, but you go along with it anyway, as you lie to your kids and make them future liars to their own kids.

But the Dictionary of the Bible says that: "By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World".

The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, Dec. 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God risen from the dead.

Is Christimas really just like Santa Claus?

Did Christmas come through the chimney like Santa, with sockloads of toys?

I am doing a report on Cornel West. He said that Blacks and Whites should join together in order to excel, or something like that. I am trying to present this to a class of college students, so I'd like to use famous people to prove West's theory. Can anyone think of some famous Black people who became famous or influential with the help of White people?
I have that Oprah helped Dr. Phil become famous, which is a reversal, but that works too.
Also, I was thinking of George Bush and Condoleeza Rice, which is a backup.

Or, if anyone has some ideas on how to present West's theories, that would be great. I only read about ten minutes worth of stuff.

Thanks!

Calm down, this came out in Clerks 2 and was actually a very funny scene.

Are there any other names you'd like to take back?

I know alot of people try to justify their reasons for judging others. But we are commanded to do it in Meekness and not arrogant slander. Slander is a tool of Evil! Not Good! We are commanded to bridle the toungue. Jesus did not say when someone makes a mistake to make fun of them! Mockery is evil! And I left the church because I didn't like the way that some would make fun of the mentally ill and disabled. And some churches are loosing alot of members for this reason! It shows that it is not productive! And I don't think that just because someone is a Pastor or preacher that they are invincible! But alot of them seem to think this way! They think that they can judge others but if you judge them; Whoa! Look out! That bolt of lightining will hit you any minute now! You can dish it out! But you can't take it! Hey! Kind words never did any harm! Ever think of trying to encourage someone? Slander is not so encouraging!

Thats the truth no matter what how you slice it people who need to believe in myths like jesus and other gods that dont exist are weak and they cant accept reality and they need that garbage as a crutch so that to me sounds weak and let me just ask you something if someone has a broken leg and there using a crutch arent they physically weak because they need a crutch to walk ya they are and the only difference here that is that religious people are weak mentally and thats why they need religion cause there weak and they cant accept reality that theres no god and no afterlife so lets just call it what it is and stop sugar coating it and call a spade a spade religious people are weak and there losers at life cause they cant accept reality and when people say that they "found god" they didnt find anything since theres no god they just got weak and couldnt deal with whatever was going on in there life so they grab a crutch by believing in garbage like "jesus" to avoid reality

Time and time again I've seen questions on YA about severe health issues. People trying to get answers about what to do for medical emergencies... that obviously need a doctors attention, not advise from posters.

In some of these questions, the posters have come right out and said, "I need help. I don't have any insurance", or "I can't go to the ER, because I know they'll want to keep me there and I don't have any money".

Should healthcare be an option?? Or should it be a right for everyone regardless of ability to pay??
