I need to know for a school newspaper article. I can't exactly give you what I"m going for in this article. I'm trying to find the history of the gonstic gospels but all I get is da vinci code junk! I know that my history teacher said that at the council of nicea met and tried to make a world wide doctrine for the belives of christianity and that they were trying to unite all the countries togather through religon. my teacher also said the the gnostic gospels were parts of the original bible that got edited out while making the doctrine. my history teacher is very smart and all but I need better resources than that! so if anyone knows of a book or a website that can give actuall facts conneting the council of nicea and the gnostic gospels so I can get all of the history to the gnostic gospels I would really really appreciate and want it the info please! so please send me what you know I'd really rather have nothing to do with the da vinci code if possible. and I need a valuble resource

My 9 year old loves to check my email for any messages from her grandmother (that lives 1000 miles away). Just wondering if there was an email to write to Santa and get a response back.

why do you feel the need to tell me that I am going to hell, I am just questioning faith that you believe blindly, those that come to faith by questioning have the greatest faith of all

thank you in advance for informative, thoughtful answers, and not religion- or science- bashing.

i know the subject of evolution can be touchy, and i have some LDS co-workers i've been talking to lately. i'm also doing research in the field of anthropology (evolution and human nature stuff). i don't want to go off on how i believe evolution can explain nearly all aspects of human behavior around them if they don't believe in the theory.

So can anyone tell me what your church's official stance on evolution is? What is ok? Evolution of humans from a single-celled organism? Evolution of non-human animals? Sexual selection? Natural selection? Genetic mutations? Genetics in general?

I have heard from some mormons that evolution is against their religion but maybe i just met some contentious ones.

I'm looking for an audio CD I can play on the radio and listen to it, not an interactive CD-rom like Rosetta Stone.

Thanks in advance.

If your religion makes you feel more secure in your being, have at it. But dont tell me that your beliefs are somehow better than mine. What ever happened to live and let live?

I am 37 years old, and have been trying to date black ladies, but with no luck. I have had white dates. I have an accent, and maybe I am a bit difficult to understand, I dont know. Or, is it possible that black women prefer only blacks mostly and whites but not Greeks? I need your advice. Thank you. You may email me if you like.

Has the media church given Christians a bad name? Why is it that in the bible all sins are equal but homosexuality is seen as unforgivable, why have people come to hate all gays and lesbians, when the greatest commandment is to love your neighbor. Do you think that the fundamentalist Christians are giving Christianity a bad image by proclaiming to the world that all gays are going to hell.

Somalia Town Threatens to Behead People Who Don't Pray 5 Times Daily

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an official said Wednesday, adding the edict will be implemented in three days.

Shops, tea houses and other public places in Bulo Burto, about 124 miles northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, should be closed during prayer time and no one should be on the streets, said Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, the chairman of the town's Islamic court. His court is part of a network backed by armed militiamen that has taken control of much of southern Somalia in recent months, bringing a strict interpretation of Islam that is alien to many Somalis.

Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law," Rage told The Associated Press by phone.

Yahoo! answers is a good source to inquire of questions to be answered. Would it be possible to have screeners to clean up the program? There is really no reason to have all the foul language on here. "Where oh where", has all the respect, consideration and integrity gone? I for one, would use this a great deal more if there were less language abuse, and more respect for other viewers. (maybe I'm just old fasioned, I would like some feedback on my inquiry). Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion.

I an older bride, and I am paying for the entire wedding myself. I've told several people at my job that I am on a tight budget and that we are having a very small wedding and only inviting family and old friends. Some of the "old" friends are who I work with and have known professional for awhile. But, I am still getting people saying to me "Just make sure I am invited to the wedding." One girl actually gave me her address and she has only been working here for about a month! I'm so taken aback that I don't really say anything, but there has got to be a tactful way of saying..."sorry, your not invited." Any sugessions out there?
