Why do most countries not have female warriors? is it because countries fear that women will be raped, that they are too small and too weak for the job, or is there some other reason? I heard a rather thought-provoking explanation once: that men are more expendable because you only need one or a few men in a village to repopulate it after heavy combat losses. If only one or a few women were left, repopulating a village would be impossible.

What is the difference, if any, in the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven?

Please recommend any Bible references that may be helpful. Thank you and may God bless you.

My guidance counselor gave me a website to research careers but there is absolutely nothing on this site about Theology, Religion or anything like that. I've also looked on the Mount Mary College website (that's where I want to go) but they don't give a lot of information. Is there any specific thing (volunteer, leadership workshop, classes in highschool that helped you, etc.) I can do to prepare myself for this major?

When my kid was in middle school, one of the rules in the Student Handbook stated that, "if a student is attacked by another, then he/she is required to try and flee to get help, rather than stand & defend". If the victim fought back, he/she would be treated equally as the attacker because he/she resorted to physical violence too.
Doesn't that just smack of something right out of California with all their socialistic school laws & rules?
I taught my kid to bag that rule, fight back & defend; then we'd deal with anything else in court.
I speak also of California being the home of banning dodge-ball, tag, and other such nonsense.

I know that the name Heidi has mostly German roots. Everywhere I look it says it's German, but could it also be Swedish? Or something else?

Jesus' disciples saw Jesus rise from the dead, therefore they didn't have faith that he was risen...they knew it. Therefore is faith more important than truth?

"You should not judge". I hear this phrase said a lot. Should Christians judge or not? What'cha think.

Since the USA was founded on Judaeo-Christian values and tradition, I was wondering that Bible verses the founders looked to in writing the Bill of Rights, and specifically, what book of the Bible includes a template for the Establishment Claus.

KJV only please.

I don't get it. I hear all the time that blacks don't consider themselves as african but just "black" and indian. Even if a person has .00009 percent indian blood they consider themselves as indian and black but not african.

Why shouldn't citizens be forced to contribute to society? I think young adults are too selfish. They could delay college for a year or two and volunteer in a hospital or some such service (including the military). This would decrease their level of apathy and increase their sense of community.

Racism must be part of human nature and if this is so, it will never go away. I only ask this question b/c I was amazed at the amount of racist comments that are on here. Since we can hide behind screen names on here, maybe this place is a better representation of the amount of racism in the world as opposed to what we see during our daily lives (sounds weird, but think about it).
I bet part of the answer is that we feel the need to categorize and group each other and color is a very easy way to do it. Once the grouping is done, competition comes in to play and then racisms shows its ugly head.

... acting so rude, being so complacent & behaving like the world revolves around our individual selves? We think of ourselves as giving, caring, open minded, tolerant, etc. yet I'm running into self centred, self absorbed, & self serving Canadians day in, day out! What's up with that??????
1. Is it because technology is forcing us to change behaviours?
Eg: Loud Cell phones ringing in Libraries, then the owners
answering, & talking very loudly, as if no one else is
around, yet they're blind to the fact that they're in a
library & they're bothering people!

2. Is it due to our population growth, where we become insolated/
isolated & have less social skills?

3. Is it due to being a wealthy country & like usual humans adapt
& become too comfortable with our surroundings?

What is your opinion & do you have any solutions to our growing problem of "ENTITLEDMENT" ATTITUDES?

i mean origionally the world was supposed to end in the year 1000 then in the 1840s and now the second millenium. well weve been here 6 years and i havnt seen satin yet, i mean wasnt he supposed to have a 7 year reign of terror with a bunch of plagues and stuff killing us off... shouldnt we be down to like half of our population by now? or is everything in the bible and everything jesus said supposed to be taken literally except for (in my opinion, the most important fact) when the world is gonna end? yeah so its all literal except for that... i get it now: we take everything literal until its proven false then we change it and say that it was just symbolic. i guess thats a good way of thinking.
